I always love the food here. You pay before you are seated, which takes the worry out of if you have enough, and you can add the tip right there at the register. You can get a lot or a little and the wait staff are attentive without being intruding. The atmosphere is lovely with cultural pictures all around, and it is always fun to see the statues in the lobby.

Arrived with a group of 19 guests and everyone was happy with the food and the service. I would recommend this as a lunch stop for larger groups.

A huge selection of Chinese and American fare. Prices are good and there is a large dining room with many tables. No waiting. Food is very good especially the shrimp items

Food was fabulous, as usual. The server that we had was our “regular” server. She has never not received a decent tip from us and has never made us feel as though she were “rushing” us until our most recent visit. Restaurant was pretty empty. Nobody waiting for a table and plenty of empty seats. She kept staring at us as though she were in a hurry to get us out the door. Brought the little check tray with the fortune cookies on it while we were up getting food. She then kept coming back to the table and telling us to “put tip on tray” in a demanding way. I seriously considered writing a “tip” on a piece of paper telling her that demanding a tip and rushing patrons of the restaurant will, more often than not, guarantee NO tip and losing patrons. I still put the same amount of tip that I usually do, which was half of the bill, and left. We, unfortunately, will not be returning there for a while, if at all.

$14 for a lunch buffet is really good, which includes drinks as well. They also have wok. Some unruly customers won’t wear gloves while taking food. Surprisingly butter potato was great. Dry sushi though.

No sushi as posted online. Huge disappointment. Food is sub par for Chinese. Absolutely never coming back here. Everything had a orange tint to its food. No servers came back to even ask why I didn’t eat. No refund offered.

I have given this place three chances and eaten there three distinctly different times of the year. I have eaten with multiple groups of people. We all felt rushed and pushed out as fast as we sat down. On this latest trip we showed up at 7:30 and closing is at 9 pm. Within 25 minutes we were given our cookies on the check tray to leave. I was barely done with my first plate of food. And speaking of that the food was completely dried out and overly sugary or salty. Overall the food was all completely old and you could see the lines where the soup had been on the heat all day long and had evaporated down at least a gallon. For three people eating at $45 plus tax, I don’t expect them to start shutting down the bar at 8:30pm. Overall it was a terrible trip this most recent time which is even worse than the other two times I went previously and got sick on their food. Just skip this place and spend fifty bucks on a KFC bucket meal or $50 on Chinese takeout food and you’ll have fresh food and plenty of it.

I absolutely love Lin Buffet, but there’s a few drawbacks, as you’ll likely see from other reviews, so let’s get into this.

Be prepared to have food that tastes like it’s been in a refrigerator for weeks, spoiled food, cinnamon In the egg rolls & cinnamon in fried chicken wings, rotten soft shrimp mixed in with fresh cold shrimp, spoiled sour tasting coconut shrimp. Sushi rolls we’re not fresh and tasted like old refrigerator and crab meat in them was grey color, cakes and cookies tasted like old refrigerator.

Service is great. Idk if the food is better in the early part of the day, we’ve been there varying times after 3pm. They don’t run any of the real nice fountains anymore, but have dj lights for some odd reason.
