Chef Lin

I was really excited about Chef Lin opening, but I'm not thrilled with its location. It is near the McDonald's and Panda Express (which has ridiculous lines by the way). This area doesn't have a lot of seating in the "hallway" and the restaurant itself doesn't have any seating.Now I still like it because it's freshly made to order. They to go sushi rolls. The service is fast, giving you an order within 15-20 minutes. Would def come back but maybe take it upstairs to eat at the food court by amc.

This is a hidden gem in the tysons mall- best chinese selection in the mall and made to order. It has numerous traditional Chinese dishes, and that's what we always go for.Service is great, and they have the kiosk for quick ordering. Ambiance is the mall, so it's always busy.

So I actually have liked this place alot in the past, but today we FOUND A BUG IN OUR FOOD!!! I don't know what the sanitary practices are here, but buyer beware. This wasn't a tiny bug either!!! (See image). We brought it up to them and the graciously offered a refund, and we ended up going across the way to another restaurant.

The taste and the portion of the food were just okay. I prefer getting Panda Express with similar quality and cheaper price.

Food is so good. Super Fast service. Friendly ambiance. Whatever I choose from the menu it never makes disappoint me.

It's solid for chinese/japanese cheap food court food!Honestly, my go-to in the lower floor of Tysons corner food.

We keep coming back for their vegetarian mapo tofu. It's not as tongue ticking lip, lip numbing but they gravy is amazing, tastes great always, very consistent taste since years! I am coming here since last 4 years.It's a take out Chinese place but you can find ample seating in the mall. Do get fried rice on the side, it pairs well.

I visit chef Lin every few months for their make your own stir-fry. I've been coming here for about 10 years now. This is a cost-effective meal option and only runs about $10-13 depending on what meat you add. Sometimes I'll get veggie and add meat at home. The portions are huge, it's truly however much you can fit in your bowl. They have various options such as noodles, veggies, tofu, etc. They also have tons of sauce options. I highly recommend for a good easy dinner option, you can even take out the noodles to get rid of carbs and load up on veggies if you need. The food overall from the make your own stir-fry is always tasty and I've never had an issue.This is conveniently located in Tyson's at the bottom food court near CPK.

Szechuan Style with beef entree served with fluffy fresh steamed white rice was prepared properly and promptly. The staff assisted me with my order and I haven't been wronged yet. I love to get the servers recommended dish to try something someone says is good. This is a get it and go place and they do it well. Self check out along with assisted checkout allows for quick order turnaround. Go with the assisted checkout and ask the server/cashier, "Are you okay?" It's amazing what will happen.

Excellent Chinese food. Love all the dishes offered by Chef Lin. We love the sweet and sour pork, the fish, beef with string beans, Singapore noodles...this place is a gem.
