Have seen this restaurant for years looking a bit run down, and ssumed it died during covid. Family wanted chinese tonight so I looked around and saw that this place is open for business, dine in and take out. Casual large dine in area with traditional old school chinese restaurant decor had me feeling nostalgic. Its a little "homey" inside but i dont mind that vibe. Food is actually very good! Generous portions and good prices. I hope this resturant survives the economic times we all are struggling in.

the fortune cookies were great...lol the honey garlic spareribs had no honey taste and barely any garlic 😩...in a watery sauce if you could even call it sauce! the egg rolls tasted yuk because of the oil they were fried was crap. the vegetables in the chop suey? green peppers were over cooked, mostly carrots, celery over cooked. no pea pods or other interesting vegetables

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Niagara Peninsula. Portions are large so you get the most for your money, food is fresh and delicious, restaurant is clean, and the owners can't do enough to make your experience one of the best you've ever had. I live in Niagara Falls but drive to Welland to eat here! I highly recommend this place!

This was my first visit and I’m honestly impressed. Started with a few regularly ordered dishes and a couple of new ones. The hot and sour soup was delicious, nice and hot and perfectly sour. Really fresh tasting food overall, great portions the spring rolls were excellent I will definitely be ordering here often , I look forward to trying note of the menu, and will say the chicken balls were awesome , like old style Chinese restaurant style Take out order was fast and food was hot - well done lung fong!!

Ordered Chicken Balls, House Special Fried Rice, General Tso Chicken, and Beef Shanghai Noodles. Everything was delicious and full of flavour. The Chicken Balls had the perfect chicken-to-breading ratio, wernt overly hard or soft, just right. The rice had a great amount of chicken, pork and large whole shrimp... enough to have some in every bite. The General Tso chicken and Beef Shanghai Noodles had the perfect amount of spice. In all my years living in Welland I have never tried this place, and glad I finally did.

I recently ordered at Lung Fong and unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. I ordered the dinner for four, anticipating a delightful meal, but was left disappointed. The food arrived astonishingly quickly, in just 15 minutes, which initially seemed like a positive. However, it became clear that this rapid preparation came at the expense of quality. The dishes were bland and lacked the vibrant flavors typically associated with Chinese cuisine. Additionally, the texture of the food was gelatinous and unappealing, giving the impression that it was not freshly prepared and the meat was old. While I had high hopes for Lung Fong, the experience was not satisfying. I hope they can improve the quality and freshness of their offerings in the future.e it was previous owners.

What a terrible experience. I didn t have a menu so when I called I asked what was in the family of 4 meal and ordered the meal that with tax was $75. I received a completely different order and the bag was packaged so terrible with nothing at the bottom of the bag it leaked hot soups down my legs as I brought it to my car. When I called to tell them about not having the right items he told me that was the deluxe family of 4. Even though he was the one I spoke with 30 min earlier. He offered for me to come back and get more soup and that s all they would do. The food was bland overcooked and inedible. The meat was slimy and the chicken was saturated in oil. I am so disappointed as we save to do a take out order and this was the worst money and customer service.

Only complaint is that I spent $100 on take out and even tipped $5 .Got home took out my items and there was no fortune cookies . A definite buzz kill Lost for words and I may have to travel to Niagara Falls to a new Chinese restaurant if I am not reimbursed for this matter...Otherwise the food is fantastic.

I hate giving bad reviews. The service for delivery was amazing. I was told this was the place to try. I was extremely disappointed. Order the rice, stale. Order the chicken curry and black bean beef. Both were not not good and the meat was slimy. Like from a package.The wonton soup was even more disappointing after $80 in. ..no flavour. One soy per soup and the noodle was something that sat for a year before serving from what I can tell. I gave it a chance but never again for food. The owner delivered (assuming!) she was sweet.

The exterior has no effort put into its maintenance or beautification. Interior decor is non existent or 70s era at best. Service comes at a barely understandable accent and usually from an uninterested teenager, assuming the owners son. Food is surprisingly good and affordable which is the main redeeming factor here. They offer take out, which I recommend.

Please read to the bottom - I had food from there a few times and it was good . Ordered again today and I was extremely disappointed . Our food was uncooked , I know Chinese food the veggies are el Dante but at least tender . Our brocoli , carrots , and other veggies were literally barely room temperature . There was no moisture or flavour in our dishes, they were so dry, barely no sauces in our beef and vegetables , our Cantonese chow mien also was tasteless , no sauce and 3/4 of the noodles were uncooked so they were hard and crunchy . Our rice was Luke warm at best . And no soya sauce packets were even given . Plus a heads up they now charge $8 for delivery if you don t spend $65 before taxes . It was free if you spent $35 . I know gas and everything went up . But to double the amount you have to order and almost double the delivery cost when you serve raw veggies and uncooked noodles is ridiculous! So not happy . EDITTED : I usually don t make reviews or complain .I hate Karen s lol But I was so disappointed . I m not rich and ordering out is a special treat for us . So I ended up calling them personally to let them know how poor our meal was . They were polite and very apologetic and offered to refund our meal . But being we did not eat ( literally threw out most of it, it was that bad) we opted for our meal to be done again as we have always liked our food from there before . They had no issues with remaking our order . It was hot , cooked to perfection and had the usual flavour with optimum amounts sauces . Thank you Lung Fung for not hesitating to correct this and making it right . Your back in as one of our favourites again . Ive changed the rating to 4 stars because they did come through in the end .

Honestly. Terrible service. Ordered the deluxe dinner for 2, except ordered 1 out of 2 wonton soups a large instead of small and they put all the wontons in the same container and to coun them. So it spilled everywhere after trying to count the falling apart wontons. So when I called to ask for a new one they said they would bring new ones, instead they brought the chef to tell my boyfriend they put everything in the same container. So I had lost it and told them over the phone how when you order a meal with 2 wonton soups they should come with 2 wonton soups and finally they fixed it by returning a third time and Ill never order from there again

I have been coming to this restaurant since I moved here 3 yrs ago, with my friends. It closed up for almost a year, but they have new owners and they have a very good menu and the meals are second to none. It isnt the most decorative place Ive been in but it they are kind an very generous with eat in or take out menu. Try it out! The prices are excellent too.

Ordered take out, went in side, nice young man greeted me took order, was roughly 10 minutes and he even brought it to car. Food wasnt bad, was super hot (which I love) fair amount of food for price, mixed chienese vegetables were pretty ordinary, fillers of onions, celery, would of liked water chestnuts, almonds some bamboo shoots make it less basic. Food was good, would try again my only real complaint is need to be more updated inside and building as well but more so the inside.

After two years closed we went in for soup Needless to say we were the first customers in 2 years the food had good honest taste. Lots of pork in the wonton soup with 4 wontons a berty taste beef and greens. Fried wontons with cheese was amazing. Highly recommended. A nugget in the rough that could be polished as Wellands next best Chinese Restaurant. Friendly staff with new owners and kitchen staff. Just a great lunch. We will be back.

Food was delish, in house meal with a low charge per person which included egg roll, soup, a tray of various appetisers to share and a main course for each of us. Place outside looked kind of run down, and a bit musty smell inside, however the dinner was fantastic. Will go again!
