Ling Long

I recently visited this Michelin-starred Chinese fine dining restaurant with high expectations, and while the experience was visually impressive, the flavors fell short of the prestige. The food presentation was undoubtedly creative — every dish arrived like a piece of art, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and modern plating techniques. However, despite the elegant appearance, many of the dishes lacked depth and the bold, layered flavors that define great Chinese cuisine. The seasoning felt muted, and the balance that should elevate each bite was missing. On the brighter side, the service was warm and professional. Both the waiter and chef were friendly and passionate, taking time to explain each course and ensuring guests felt welcomed. The ambiance was luxurious and serene, suitable for a fine dining setting. Unfortunately, given the Michelin status and premium pricing, the overall experience didn’t quite meet expectations in terms of taste and value. While it’s worth visiting once for the presentation and service, I left wishing the flavors matched the artistry on the plate. For the price point, there are other fine dining options that deliver a more satisfying and memorable culinary experience.

One of the best Chinese fusion fine dining I have had. The food was plated so beautifully , a lot of attention to detail by the Chef to enhance the diner’s experience with different textures & very creative flavours / ingredients. The foei gras tart was sublime.

Disappointing. Most of the dishes lacked flavor. For a Michelin restaurant, I had high hopes. The only dish that tasted good was the duck. The rest just looked good but didn’t deliver in taste.

Background Ling Long in Kuala Lumpur aims to reimagine Chinese cuisine through a fusion-tasting menu that blends traditional flavours with modern techniques. Ambience Despite its sleek design, the atmosphere feels sterile and somewhat detached, offering little warmth or character beyond its luxury aesthetic. Service Service is competent but fails to meet the expectations set by the restaurant’s price point. While staff are efficient and attentive to the basics, the overall experience lacks the finesse and attentiveness that would elevate it to a truly memorable fine-dining standard. Food/Drink The tasting menu impresses with its bold flavours and thoughtful fusion of Chinese and modern influences. Each dish is well-executed, showcasing balance and creativity. However, while the food tantalises the palate, it does little to justify the steep pricing. Overall Ling Long delivers a good fusion Chinese dining experience with flavorful food that pushes boundaries. However, it struggles to justify its luxury positioning with an uninspired ambience and service that doesn’t quite match the premium price tag.

I need to give a thumb up for this fine dining restaurant! The food quality is good, and the wine pairing is surprisingly good too. Worth the money. Must try the tart! And if your pocket allow please add the lobster too!

Overall a super experience at Ling Long! First time trying modern French Chinese cuisine and loved it. From the food to the service all were great. All dishes were well explained, the head chef even came out to serve our mains and explained the dish 👍🏼 Usually at fine food places in KL, my thought is that there is usually gonna be at least one dish that I won’t like (from past experiences) and I can safely say this place exceeded my expectations and every dish was immaculate. Flavors are unique but familiar to the taste (this is their concept 🙂) Left super satisfied and would come back!

I loved bringing my dad here for his birthday lunch! We decided to go with the set lunches, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish prepared to perfection and full of flavor. The service was stellar, with the staff being incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal, and I will certainly come back here again.

Excellent tasting menu! I love every single dish here. Curated very well. Service was really great too! I can’t say which is my fav dish because everything was just too good! I will definitely be back.!
