Ling Di Long - Ceredigion

I was pleasantly surprised by this Chinese restaurant, as it was not what I expected. Despite initially appearing to not have a table for a solo diner, they quickly set one up for me. When other diners left, I was offered their table in a private area. The service was excellent, with the server even sharing a laugh with me. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, especially the traditional Banana Fritter dessert. It was a nice touch that brought some cheer to the end of a long day.

This restaurant in Lampeter is the only Chinese option, so perhaps those who have reviewed it have nothing else to compare to. For starters, we had prawn toast, spring rolls, and smoked chicken. The first two were good, but the smoked chicken lacked flavor and was quite bland. For mains, we had crispy shredded chicken and sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice. The chicken in both dishes was cooked beautifully, but the sauces lacked flavor. We were already full from a late lunch elsewhere, which may have also affected our enjoyment. Overall, the service and value were excellent.

Searched long and hard for a decent Chinese Takeaway in the area. Hygiene ratings on many are pretty grim. This restaurant is rated but we felt the comments made by the inspectors did not warrant any concern. My wife and daughter always have the same dish whenever we buy a Chinese takeaway, so this was not a problem. However I do like to try different dishes but I struggled to find anything new and interesting, so settled for a big standard Special curry. No complaints from the girls and my curry was only ok. Whilst there is very little to complain about, I doubt I would eat from here again.

Had takeaway delivered from here, could not fault it, good sized portions, tasty food, arrived at time agreed

My man and I had a great meal tonight at Ling-di-Long. absolutely wonderful starters. after a quarter crispy duck with pancakes. then a main meal and huh main meal and rice. a good bottle sauvignon and we were both very happy.
