Lin's Chinese Restaurant

So I've lived in cloverly all my life and have been wanting to try this Chinese restaurant. However, I'm very picky with Chinese restaurants due to previous experiences with taste etc. I saw a few people waiting outside the restaurant and asked them what they thought about it and most people reported "it was good, it's okay" so expectations weren't that high. Service was okay, nothing spectacular. I decided to order 4 piece chicken wings and spicy fried rice. The rice was spicy and chicken wings were crispy and cooked pretty well. The rice had no flavor, i also didn't get any soy sauce and didn't realize till i got home that she only gave me 4 packets of ketchup. Overall the food was pretty mid, Nothing special. Probably won't go back.

When I moved to this area, oh wow, like a decade ago, I discovered Lin's, and I've been stopping by regularly since. This is a typical American Chinese food spot, great for takeout or delivery via your favourite app (they don't offer in house delivery). You'll find your rather standard menu: hot and sour, general tsao, beef broccoli, happy family, all that. There's also a few things that break from the traditional items: try the general tsao shrimp, it's my favourite. It's hard to set yourself apart with this menu, and it's such a matter of preference. But, I've never had anything bad here: it's consistently good, and I prefer them to others. They're also a family run business. Over the years, I've seen the kids go from colouring in the corner to helping at the register or in the kitchen. This beats the typical constant turn over and new faces of other places (and likely contributes to the consistent quality). They're also genuinely nice, kind, and friendly. You can't beat that.

Lin's is a staple in our takeout rotation. It's well priced, big portions, and always good. I've gotten a variety of different dishes and they're all good. My favorites are the vegetable dumplings (they're green but don't let it throw you), general tso's shrimp, combination ho fun, sweet and sour shrimp, and beef broccoli.

Lin's is great. They have good service and great food. I live in Cloverly and this is my go to spot if I'm craving Chinese. Can't go wrong!

Weirdest Chinese food I've ever had! Nothing like Kung Pao chicken Should look or taste. It was like somebody who had never eaten Chinese food tried to make a dish they have heard about but didn't really have a clue. There were maybe three peanuts in the whole dish and they were tinyblack I hope they were peanuts anyway. The flavor was really really weird not Kung Pao sauce should taste. The supposed fried rice was white rice with some curry thrown in. At least I hope it was curry. Never again

It's basic Chinese takeout. The prices are good and the food was made with love. I ordered the generals Tso's chicken because for me if you can make good general then we can do business in the future. And they made me very happy with their interpretation of generals chicken. I once watched an entire documentary on generals Tso's chicken so don't laugh when I say such well thought out ideas! The chicken was awesome and the brown rice was good for my health. You can tell a lot about a protein when it goes well with plain brown rice. The portion size was good for a lunch special and I literally couldn't eat it all myself. That's a testament, because these places are getting a little stingy with their portions as of late and I'm glad we found a place that knows bigger is always better!

Always on point. Best Chinese American food in town for sure. Been eating here for decades and could have left 100 positive reviews by now. We got shrimp, dumplings, soup, 2 chicken combo meals w/ shrimp roll upgrade and sauce upgrade, crab Rangoon w/ sauce upgrade, boneless spare ribs all for 50 bucks. Big portions. Love this place.

Have been coming here for years, always love their shrimp fried rice and beef and broccoli. Definitely recommend!

Called to order, put on hold, never came back Guess they didn't want my money. Their lose. Guess I'll go to Noodle King. More expensive but more interesting food..

. . . wondering about the 5 star reviews. We went there based on reviews and were quite underwhelmed. Tried to use the QR code to place a phone order based on the instructions at the front counter but could not access the website. We had to beg for a menu from the grumpy woman at the front counter. (The menus are kept behind the counter which was quite strange.)We placed our order and while waiting were told rather unpolitely to "wait in the chairs to the left." We felt like I was in grade school!!! Had we not paid for the order, we would have left.The food is unremarkable and is probably is the worst Chinese food that we have had in years. (Even Eddie's Sub Shop in Wheaton beats them, and they are very problematic.) Since we dislike bad food and being yelled at, we will not be returning.
