This Asian fusion joint is definitely a winner. I enjoyed the Seafood Hot Pot and my wife had the BiBimBop. Both were excellent. The BiBimBop is not traditional, not in a bowl, but nevertheless very good.

1st visit & not bad at all. i went for the happy hour sushi, appetizers & drinks. happy hour on sunday? yes. so cool. i started with the potstickers. good but didn't blow me away. the dumpling dough was a little thick to me, flavor was mild & i couldn't tell you what the filling consisted of. i had 2 crab crunch rolls, very good flavor. meant to try something else but i liked it so i ended up getting 2. :) i also tried an asian pear martini. yum. it tasted refreshing & light. every time i drink one it doesn't seem strong at all, they always hit me after i've finished them. martinis are sneaky that way. my son got the sunset roll. it was fresh had more pieces than i expected (not part of the happy hour selection) & ling's meatloaf. it was different. i didn't dislike it, it just isn't something i'd order on my own. am glad i got to try a bite of his. it was something new & interesting to try & that is a good thing. both meals we around $25, so not bad at all. & i finally have found a happy hour sushi place. will go back again.

Came here for the first time with a friend. Absolutely loved it. Very nice atmosphere, pleasant waitress and great food. I had Honey Walnut Chicken and absolutely loved it - so much so, it's hard to imagine trying anything else. My friend had Beijing Duck Noodles and enjoyed them very much. The Chocolate Lava Cake with strawberries was also delicious. My only sadness is I have no idea when I'll be in the Boise area again.

The Wango Mango Chicken was good. Not to sweet and light. The Chocolate volcano cake was good too.

Oh No! No more ginger margaritas!. We've really enjoyed the food at Ling & Louie's since they opened - traveling from east Boise foothills just to eat.....and to drink the fantastic ginger margaritas. The combination was great! We normally eat in the bar and the staff is friendly, the atmosphere cozy, the food is good and they're always willing to customize any dish to your taste. But now they have discontinued the ginger margaritas. Our incentive to make the drive is certainly lessened!

Great menu and atmosphere!. We've been to Ling & Louie's for dinner at least 10 times since they opened, and have tried the majority of their menu offerings. So far, only a few things have not hit the mark (mainly due to our taste - not because the food wasn't prepared well). Our repeated favorites: Mongolian Beef, Seared Ahi Salad, Jeweled Beef, Lo Mein (all types), and Mongolian Flatbread appetizer. Must save room for dessert: the Banana Carmel Spring Roll is crazy-good. They use only Filet for every beef dish (not kidding), so the meat is consistently fantastic. Great bento-box options for the kids too. Really - don't listen to the negative reviews - they have GOT to be from competitors!

Service and food was good. We had spare ribs that were very tasty and pot stickers fir appetizers. I would order both again. Main courses were lo mein with filet minion and the princess jungle beef. Both dishes had great flavor and were not greasy like Chinese food can be. We finished off with the ginger snap cookies. Yum! I don't usually eat in chain restaurants but I would return to Ling and Louies.

Excellent!. My boyfriend and I enjoyed starters and dinner on Friday. We started with the Spicy Ahi Tuna Tempura Rolls and Crispy Calamari. Both were very good. My boyfriend commented the calamari was some of the best he's had, he loved the sauce. We ordered the Black Orchid Ahi Tuna and the Korean Sizzling Salmon. They were both excellent! We are both picky on our fish and these were fresh and cooked to perfection. Great meal and the service was great too!

We'll be in the bar. First time an L&L's and it was a good time. We usually sit in the bar and found the staff to be friendly and responsive even though it was fairly busy. When we were ready to order they handled it promptly and the food and drinks arrived quickly.

The crispy calamari appetizer was very good; not over-fried or seasoned. The black orchid ahi tuna and Buddha's feast with chicken entrees were also very good. The tuna's quality, taste, and preparation were as described; the sauce being a great compliment and the portion size surprisingly big. Buddha's chicken was very flavorful if not a bit heavy and the vegetables and rice were cooked perfectly.

The atmosphere was fun! Prices about what you would expect these days. If you're close by and you like Asian fusion it's worth a try.

Good food, great times. My girlfriend and I had dinner tonight at L&L and we had a great time. Started off with cucumber martinis which were delicious (and inexpensive!) and some edamame appetizers. We ordered the Firecracker and Evil Princess dinners and shared. Both dishes were well prepared, veggies were crisp, sauces perfect and flavorful but not over powering. I think we both preferred the Firecracker one. I think this would be a great place to go with some other couples to spend an evening drinking and eating and laughing. Great outdoor patio area. Service was really great for the most part. Definitely will go again. I hope they open one in downtown Boise so I don't have to drive out to hicksville Meridian to go there.

Red Robin Meets PF Chang's. I give Ling & Louie's 4 and a half stars out of 5. We went on a Tuesday night and got seated immediately. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Drinks and appetizers came out quickly. Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Shrimp & Avocado Tempura Roll. Both were very tasty and well-presented. On to the entrees. Orange Peel Chicken. Crispy, hot chunks of chicken breast in a mildly-spicy chili/sweet citrus sauce, on crispy spinach and brown rice (white rice was also a choice). Generous portions, a third of this went home in a to-go box. Evil Jungle Princess Chicken and Spicy Ahi Tuna Salad were also ordered at my table and I tried them both. Both excellent. There is a decent (but not overwhelming) variety of items on the menu - starters, chicken, beef and seafood dishes, ribs, sliders, noodles. Fun and eclectic. Nice upscale/casual atmosphere in the restaurant. I look forward to my next visit and to trying out some of the other menu items.

Delightful Asian Fusion!. My first time at Ling and Louie's, for lunch, was really a treat! We decided we wanted to try several things so my mom had a ginger margharita (delicious!) and I had a Belgian White Ale that was crisp, smooth and full of flavor. We split 2 appetizers--chicken lettuce cups and siamese spring rolls-- and both were great. The spring rolls had a very unique and fresh taste, not greasy in any way and the ingredients, the sweet chile sauce, and the fresh chopped thai basil really made them better than any spring rolls I have ever had, and I am a spring roll snob! We also split the Evil Jungle Princess chicken which is a very spicy dish, but they were able to give us a less spicy version which was perfect. This would be a dish I would recommend, again as unique, and fabulous with the brown rice! We had leftovers to take home as it was a lot of food for 2 people.

Our server, Angie, was also wonderful. Very friendly and attentive, without being over the top. And our food came quickly.

Ling & Louies decor is the icing on the cake. The wall colors, the stone, the glass waterfall, the lamps, everything was beautiful and made for a relaxing and fun environment.

On our way out, because it was our first visit, we were given a little packet with 2 "fortunate cookies" which were one of the best ginger cookies ever! I am also a ginger cookie snob. I will go back and I look forward to trying the Louie's American fare, although there are so many great things on the fusion menu, I am not sure when I will get to the American items. I highly recommend Ling & Louie's for a great time and a great meal!

Awesome banana dessert.... I really enjoy this place. I take people here for business dinners because it's affordable, but nicer than your average restaurant. It's also a safe place to take people, because there's bound to be something for everyone. There are tons of vegetarian options (just tell them you're vegetarian and they're make sure the sauce is too), vegan options, gluten free, etc.

Don't leave without getting the banana dessert... it will be worth it.

Banana Caramel Spring Roll to die for!. Great interior and patio. Happy to get outside seating. This was our family's first experience of fusion Asian cuisine. It was a lot of fun!

The Spicy Ahi Tuna Tempura Roll appetizer was delicious and interesting with it's deep-fried outer coating. I tried all the dishes our party ordered and here's my opinion of each one: Sizzling Surf & Turf (4 stars--flavorful), Orange Peel Chicken (1 star--very dry and overseasoned), Ahi Tuna Salad (4 stars--exactly what I thought it would be). Lastly we ordered the Banana Caramel Spring Roll (5+++ stars--amazing combination of flavors and textures. I'm so glad we didn't order the chocolate dessert!)

We decided next time we come to L&L's, and we will come again, we will come and order no appetizers, no entrees, and all Banana Caramel Spring Rolls. (Don't tell mom!).

Great service and delicious food!. We've been to Ling & Louie's four times since they opened last month, and have had fantastic food and service each and every time. We've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table (admittedly, we've only been there on weekdays), and the food always arrives quickly after ordering. We're addicted to the Mongolian Flatbread appetizer (crazy good!!!), the Jeweled Beef Noodles, and the Banana Caramel Springroll dessert. YUM - if you like Asian-inspired food and drinks, you'll love this place. The atmosphere is very cool, too.
