Good place to grab some Chinese… I was very impressed with the server. She was very knowledgeable with all the menu items. Will likely be back if I’m back in that area.

This place had been on my list for quite a while after I was told the authentic menu was really great. We made the mistake of going at lunch which was only the limited menu. I got kung pao tofu and my spouse got general tao’s chicken. The chicken was pretty good, with a sauce that wasn’t overly sweet. My tofu was cool and soggy with raw cool vegetables with warm sauce. We also had our rice mixed up, but honestly the steamed rice was better than the fried. I couldn’t really complain about it because there was only one server working, so we didn’t see her at all between when the plates were dropped off and the check dropped off. While the authentic menu might be better I’m not going to drive 20 minutes again to give it a shot.

Today was the first time I went into the restaurant for a meal; I’ve previously ordered takeout from here before and was happy with it.

Asked for no mushrooms twice on online order, but received a mushroom heavy vegetarian meal. We also ordered the cumin chicken skewers and received TOFU! Poorly seasoned tofu on a skewer. First time ever trying this location and we won’t be returning.

The waiter is very friendly and knowledgeable about food on menu. The hot and sour soup was pretty good. Spicy chicken we ordered was alright, I didn’t find it spicy. The hot & spicy chicken wings were very crispy but too greasy and I thought they were overcooked.

Food was way too salty but the portions were big. The waitress should’ve let us know that the crab rangoon already come with the two dishes that we ordered so we didn’t have to order them as a side. The entrance into the restaurant looks pretty dingy, especially with all the covid prevention barriers still up. Once you are in the sitting area, however, the atmosphere is slightly better.

I’ve been ordering from Kin Lin for about 3-4 years. Today is the last time I will order from them. Placed an online order for carry out for the Sesame Chicken and Crab Rangoon. The chicken was a mixture of over and under cooked. Every piece was either too tough to chew, or too squishy to be edible. I took solace in the fact that I ordered the crab rangoon, but found that apparently these are now just fried wontons. No crab. No cream cheese. (see attached pictures) No more Kin Lin anything for me again.

The general tso’s chicken was chewy, overly sweet tasting and not appealing. The shrimp fried rice appear to not have any eggs and they were the size of a quarter at best. Did I mention the chicken was chewy? We spent way too much money and the words “Thank you” we’re never uttered.
