"Been a family favourite for fish n chip ! Enjoy their batter, it’s light and not soggy ! Fish is usually flaky not dried and super chunky. Never tried their Chinese takeaways so cannot comment."

"Just tried Lings Fastfood, for the first time. Everything i ordered was so good, nice clean oil. I ordered through delivereasy so can not comment on the instore service or cleanliness, the food was the best i have had from anywhere in Palmerston North. Sweet and Sour chicken, i like how the sauce is separate so you don't get soggy pieces, would have preferred it with bits of onion, carrot and pineapple. Small fish and chips pack, everything cooked perfectly. Plain fried rice, a very large serving size. Even better when i add leftover sweet and sour sauce. Thank you, to the person/people whom did my order."

"Very nice place to go very tidy, they have very nice food, they always have friendly service. I got a hot dog it could of had real cheese, and I got some beef chow mein, they were both nice and well made. Mid way takeaway was good but Ling's fastfood is much better, they have good service I would sure recommend this place to anyone that wants something to eat, I always put things to help people find good places, It's just a small place can't eat in at place, I think it's important to post things to help everyone"

"I loved Midway when it was here but safe to say Lings is holding up the standard of great takeaway! Good portions, fair price and good quality food. Whilst expensive i highly recommend trying the Deep Fried Bluff Oysters when they have them in. Make sure you eat them quickly they are very very delicious!"

"A 4 is truly the correct rating. Smorgasbord was good, but the fresh orange chicken was american style and slapped unnecessarily hard. Food was good, nothing special. And if you aren't into oily food you might not even like the orange chicken. I will be back as I go around each fish and chip shop a second time! Very excited by the look of the fish burger."
