I have heard about this place for years and I finally made it there. It was a special occasion so we started with Chinese Spring Rolls (not your usual) and Green Onion Cakes that were amazing. Then we split Szechuan Beef, Crispy Lemon Chicken (one the meals I had heard so much about), Cantonese Chow Mein, Fried Rice and Szechuan... More

Ordered take out. The egg rolls were gigantic and tasted nothing like a traditional egg roll - there wasn't enough plum sauce in the world to make these edible. The spare ribs were gristle, the fried rice bland. The sweet and sour chicken was passable - the chicken balls were top quality meat but the sauce was waTery and weak.... More

The food is ok but it's not much different then you would get at any other North Americanized Chinese food restaurant. The prices are higher (we pay about 20% more for the same food as other similar places). If you don't mind salty - Ami's chicken (Dry spicy chicken) is quite good.

New Year's Eve was a very busy evening for the restaurant. There were set menus to select from. The staff were great but the seating seemed close together to maximize numbers of guests.

I have been going to lignan for sometime now. I always go their Chicken for lunch at Scotia place. The atmosphere is nice. Service is quick. The food is ok but nothing to brag about.

I love bringing people here for the first time as the outside looks rather unappealing but once you walk in, it is incredible, service is great and food - excellent food. Our family visits at least 4-5 times a year and now my children bring their friends.

Spare yourself the disappointment. This place is a 3 dressed up as a nine. The food is at best, bad western cuisine. Do yourself a favour, rent an old Bruce Lee movie, and order takeout from the closest place to where you are, you'll be better off , $4.50 for a small bowl of steamed rice, and not a chopstick...

Lingnan is the oldest chinese food restaurants in Edmonton; the same family has been running it since 1947 & they never disappoint. Any time I have someone visiting from out of town, I take them here. Any time there is a special occasion in the family, we go here. The restaurant has not been changed a lick in forever; it... More
