We ordered sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, and chicken cutlet for dinner today as takeout. Everything tasted awful. We’re from the United States, and based on the Google reviews, I can only imagine what other Chinese restaurants here are like if this place has an average rating of over 4 stars. We couldn’t even finish our food because it tasted so bad. We won’t be ordering Chinese food in Aruba again.
Gave 3 stars for the atmosphere. The food was not really tasty. The sweet and sour chicken was doughy and had a lot of oil. The order was taken off the bill and much appreciated. The teriyaki chicken is breaded FYI. Resturant is kid friendly and high chairs available for families. Came on a Sunday and parking in front was available. Food is reasonably priced. Waitresses are sweet. Alcohol also reasonably priced.
Went today with the family. 1st time in Aruba and Lings. We ordered the Fried Wontons to start. Very tasty. We then went family style so we could share. We got the sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice, chicken chowmein, and the hot and spicy chicken. Everything was great. Do not. Miss this spot!!
Pretty good Chinese food, comparable to what you’d find in the U.S.—classic dishes like beef and broccoli and spicy chicken were solid. The wontons were especially good: super crispy and very tasty. Prices are also very budget-friendly.
Service was amazing. There was a lot of options to choose from the menu and the serving size was large! Food was amazing, especially the sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, and spring rolls. Food came out quick as well. Very friendly!
