House of Leng

Best Chinese food in North Charlotte. Whether you dine in or carry out they will always get your order right and the staff is friendly as well.

Let me start off by saying fried rice should NEVER be yellow… it should be BROWN. House of Leng is thee only Chinese place I have found in NC that makes brown fried rice, and the taste is a testimony to the difference between the two. I have ordered here twice now, and it has been great both times. I got orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, veggie chow fun, and some fried rice. All was very delicious, and reasonably priced with large portions. Their crab rangoons are lacking in size, and there is not enough filling, but other than that, this place is on the top of my list for go-​to Chinese places.
Highly recommended.

I like the quality of the dumplings here. Also plenty of vegetables in the Lomein even the meat based ones.
The prices are higher than average but the food portion and quality is on paar.

Amazing food at amazing price! Service was very fast! Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in the US

House of Leng is always my go to restaurant for dine in or take out Chinese food in Charlotte. Great portions for a good price. I never have to wonder if the food is fresh or «real“meat I always see the owner buying ingredients at the Harris Teeter next door :)

The food is awful and the servers are rude! If you ask a question about the menu item, they frown at your face! This place is 5 minutes from my house but I would never go back!

Chinese food is one of those things that you don’t eat a lot, and when you do, you look forward to it. I was extremely disappointed in what I ordered. A co-​worker had suggested this place so I was curious to try it out. I ordered the sesame chicken, and general tso for my S/​O, along with a side of spring rolls and crab rangoon. My dish had absolutely no flavor to it, there wasn’t even really a sauce to it and definitely not crispy. My S/​O dish also had no flavor, not spicy like usual. The spring rolls were mediocre (that’s being generous) and the rangoons just had no flavor whatsoever.
Perhaps a different cook was here today, I’m not quite sure… and maybe their other dishes are better, but I won’t be taking that gamble after this experience, especially considering the price (sesame chicken with brown rice, General tso side of fried rice, 3 springs rolls, order of crab rangoons and 2 20oz sprites = $ 42.77). I would’ve given this 0 stars if that was an option.
My suggestion, eat in if you decide to go here so that if its not to your desired liking, you can send it back…

The restaurant has a good environment and really good food. I recommended the Mongolian beef.

Best Chinese food in charlotte university. Amazing dishes with huge quantity. Love the sesame chicken. A+++

Food taste is standard. Dont expect great
Little salty overall. Waitress isnt friendly.

Decent average Chinese. Entrees are pricey but large. Entrees come with white rice. They don’t deliver though.

Didn’t know this was the original. Did you know this House of Leng was the original House of Leng? I think I even met Leng himself. I don’t know. I think it was him. So, I asked him, «is this the original House of Leng?» And he said yes it was.
Okay, so if you’re not following my rant, there’s another House of Leng not so far away near Boardwalk Billy’s at University Pointe. I remember the first time I had the Crispy Scallion chicken there. It was awesome. So when my wife and I went to the one at Arbors on Mallard Creek Church Road, we were sure they would be the copy and the Crispy Scallion chicken would be less… awesome. But it was! We also enjoy ordering the Veggie Lo Mein. The two and the two of us met often.
And now we know how they Crispy Scallion chicken and the Veggie Lo Mein at both Houses of Leng are so good. It’s made by the same guy. Or at least the same recipe. He often moves from one location to the other. In fact, some of the hall managers also switch locations. I guess it’s a family run business. In any case, we had no problems with the food and just full stomachs. Ya, I’m a fan. Thanks, Mr. Leng. Or whoever he was.

The food here is amazing and consistent. Love the noodles, chicken and seafood. We stop here every time we are in town.

This is now my new Chinese spot! Their wings! OMG I LOVE THEM! I DON’T EVEN EAT WINGS! They also have the best spring rolls in Charlotte! I’m sure whatever you order there will be delicious!

We had dinner here tonight and ordered the sesame chicken and chicken fried rice. I’ve eaten here in the past and it was nothing like it used to be! The rice was greasy. The sesame chicken was okay but nothing special.
The service was terrible! I never got a refill on my drink and when I complained as I was leaving the manager said they were short staffed despite the fact there were only 3 tables in the restaurant and waiters rolling silverware! We never had the waiter come back after bringing the food.
Between the mediocre food and bad service… I would find a better chinese restaurant!

I JUST order take out f pod earlier. When I got to my job, realize that there’s no silverware. I called back, and their response was «we give out silverware for dinner take out». Wow that was the first restaurant that I will never do business with again. Cheap ass business owner…

I was a little disappointed when I ate at the House of Leng. I had a pretty large order that consist of a family of four and $ 60 worth of food. I felt bad because the family wanted to eat at another local Chinese restaurant and I insist on this place which I thought was going to be REALLY GOOD. I was wrong. I haven’t been here in a couple of yrs. It was really good back then. I don’t know if they changed management but I will not be returning back. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli w/​garlic sauce and brown rice. Is it me but how come when I ask a Chinese restaurant for brown rice they think I’m talking about fried rice. NO!!! The rice was kind of hard and stale. The shrimp and garlic sauce was a bit on the salty side.
The rest of the food that the family ate was nothing to write about. You would think since it’s conventionally located in a popular shopping plaza they would keep you coming back for more. Sorry house of Leng I’m no longer a fan. Where can I get some descent Chinese food in north Charlotte?

Meh is right. Although this is probably the best of many poor options in North Charlotte, it’s still not much to speak of. We ordered the Peking Duck which was overwhelmingly salty, and it came with tortillas instead of pancakes. Tortillas!
I think they probably either ran out of the ingredients, or whoever made them was out that day since it took so long I think they ran to the store and bought them. Why turn down a perfectly good $ 30 order if you don;t have the ingredients? Just pile some slop on a plate and send it out. Any restaurant that would do that is not worth going to in my opinion.

There is a lack of good Chinese food in north Charlotte; House of Leng is really the best option. I’m torn on the rating, because the food has a lot of potential, just typically misses the mark by just a little.
Eggplant with Garlic Sauce and General’s Tofu are my favorites. I always ask for the tofu to be fried extra crispy. Sometimes it’s perfect and sometimes it’s soggy. The lack of consistency (or ability to get a special order correct) leaves me feeling less than thrilled, but the flavor is great. If you’re not as picky of an orderer as I, you will probably love it.
The service is pretty fast and efficient. The interior is not swanky, but feels much nicer than the average hole in the wall.
Overall, I will still keep patronizing HOL because the sauces are good and the location is convenient. And every once in a while, they hit a home run.

I’m gonna keep this brief b/​c I’m pissed at myself for even going — ah, it was my own laziness, so no one else to blame but myself. I work across the street and wanted Chinese food. So I stopped and got my usual take out order. It’s enough food to have probably 3 full meals. It consists of: steamed dumplings, garlic beef and Chinese donuts. Here’s where the laziness comes in, I usually get delivery from another place closer to my house, but I didn’t want to wait… gut must have food NOW. So I figured let’s try House of Leng.
Firstly I believe I got gypped out of a egg roll. Don’t dinners always come with an egg roll? 2ndly, the price was about 5 bucks more than my usual place for LESS food. Finally all of this being said I’d have been less pissed had the food actually been good. but it wasn’t. Sigh… live and learn. Next time the gut begs for Chinese food I’m just going to go with old faithful, even if it means I have to wait for delivery.
