Ling Nam (Cantonese: 嶺南) is a chain of Chinese restaurants in the Philippines owned by Fruitas Holdings. The first location in Binondo, Manila, was established in 1950, but Robert Fung Kuan turned it into a small franchise when he was CEO from 1976 to 1984. While it was a popular destination in Binondo, Ling Nam declined in the following decades and the Fung family put it up for sale. Fruitas Holdings bought the chain in 2022 and expanded it into 34 locations.
Binondo's Ling Nam is regarded as a pioneer panciteria. Serving short order fare, its top-sellers are noodles, congee, dim sum (siomai) and siopao. It is particularly known for its beef wonton noodles.
