    Rodolfo was our waiter and he was very kind and attentive. He answered all our questions about the menu and made our time there pleasant. All the food was excellent and tasted so good. I definitely plan to come again when I visit Mexico City.

    the service and food here is unmatched. Mike and Ivan and Ling Ling were PHENOMENAL. I’ve eaten at plenty of “nice” restaurants, and the service at Ling Ling blew me away. They were attentive, kind, the food was delicious. If you’re planning a birthday party, date night, or family outing, this is where you want to go!

    Lucas was great and we had amazing food and cocktails! The view was one of the best parts however and made the experience so special! The only issue was the Birria Soup Dumplings were not our favorite but everything else was perfect!

    Very cute restaurant in a enclosed rooftop with great views of the city. My waiter name is Angel and was amazing. He recommended the best items on the menu, everything was delicious. My favorite was the duck salad and the spicy Ling ling roll. Chapultepinky drink & the rubber ducky desert was very picture worthy. I loved the atmosphere, ambience, and the plants. I would highly recommend this place and would love to come back here someday. Great place for celebrations as well.

    The view was out of this world. Coming at sunset was just the right time. Drinks, food, and service were really great. We tried 2 dumplings, the spicy prawns, and spicy ling ling roll. Only thing we didn’t love was the toro leek sushi roll. Angel made sure to note all my allergies and remembered the flavors that I liked so we would be happy with the drinks/food. Super attentive all night. Martin also made sure we weren’t cold at night and the view was just right. Would recommend this experience to everyone.

    During our recent vacation in Mexico City, we had dinner at Ling Ling, and it was a great experience overall. We made our reservation well in advance, and it was well worth it. The vibe of the restaurant is incredible with stunning interior design. We were lucky to get a table with a breathtaking view of the city, which made the evening feel even more special. The service was excellent, with our server Alexis being especially helpful and attentive throughout the meal. We started with the Crispy Duck Salad and Japanese Wok Mushrooms, both were delicious. For our main courses, we ordered the Bone Marrow Fried Rice and Truffle Hand-Cut Noodles. The fried rice was absolutely divine and perfectly balanced. However, the noodles were too greasy and didn’t quite meet our expectations, so I wouldn’t recommend them. Despite the small hiccup with the noodles, we had a great experience overall.

    We made reservations for dinner so we didn't have to wait, but when we arrived there were a lot of people waiting to be seated. We had requested a table with a nice view, but got seated next to the entrance. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share and the duck with pinaple. Everything was delicious. Drinks too! For dessert we had the dulce de leche fondant. It was very good, but a little too sweet after a couple of bites. Overall, we had a good experience and it's a nice place to either go on a date or with your friends.

    Wow! Just amazing! This restaurant is absolutely stunning—the decor, details, and finish-outs are incredible, making it one of the nicest spots in Mexico City. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us at a beautiful table. The service was impeccable, and despite hearing mixed opinions about the food, our experience was fantastic—everything was fresh and delicious! Yes, this is definitely a high-end restaurant, and the prices reflect that. If you're not looking to spend $200+ USD per person, you might want to consider another spot 😅but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it!

    Antonio and Rodolfo were amazing, the food was dreamy (vegan truffle roll was otherworldly). The restaurant is gorgeous and has cool hidden rooms. Definitely a trip highlight!

    The Chino here is giving this place the thumbs up 👍 Walked in and got a table that I wasn’t expecting as I have been requesting a table to see the sunset as my Queen and I were celebrating our 12 year anniversary… No worries because the Assistant Manager Lady fixed us up with a great table which was followed with great food and service. The drinks were great too. The service was so good I ended up even tipping the lady cleaning the bathrooms. Overall if you want views, great food and amazing service… come to Ling Ling 💚🐍

    Amazing. It's simply amazing. I would not have thought that mexico city would offer Asian cuisine (with a slight Mexican twist) with this much flavor. We went all out. Baos, dumplings, bone marrow rice, ramen, soft shell crab, chicken wings, etc etc etc. Tried it all, finished it all, enjoyed it all. Phenomenal tasting food. The mesh of flavors were perfectly incorporated with one another. The sauces elevated the already rich tasting food. The acidity, the sweetness, the saltiness, and the oilyness all complemented each other that just provided bliss to the entire experience. The staff may have been a bit overattentive, if that makes sense. They would, at times, put clean plates on our table that we wouldn't use, take them, then put new plates of the same ones we hadn't used. Strange, but I respect the work ethic. Back to the meal. Crispy, crunchy, chewy, juicy, tender, fresh, savory, and my list can go on. It was all fantastic. Truly the highlight of all the food I had in Mexico city strangely enough. Highly recommend.
