Full disclosure: I have not eaten here.I stopped by to get a menu and do a little recon.If you don't clean your windows and you have tape stuck on the glass from the 80sI don't trust you are a clean place to eat.Take 30 min to really clean the windows so people are willing to walk past the 2nd set of doors.

We ordered take out for 4 people. Brought it all home. All four orders were inedible. Rice was mush. Vegetable meat dishes were off color and had starchy substance holding it all together. Never never go there again.

Look, we've come here for many years, but since around 2020 the portions of meat relative to veggie has been awful. All for supporting small business in the area, but 3rd times the charm. After multiple trips each chicken dish is overwhelmed by vegetables and has a complete lack of protein/meat. Not acceptable. I understand having to adjust prices given recent events, but the amount of meat should reflect that fairly. Pass

Every sauce on every dish was sweeter instead of savory. Egg rolls were spongy. Egg foo young was really spongy. Empress chicken is supposed to be spicy and it was sweet. Beef fried rice had a funky and oily taste. Not good at all. Sizzling 3 delight had two shrimp in it.

Recent carry out order. Food was plentiful, but not very flavorful. Expected more zing in the kung po and garlic sauce dishes.

We love this place. It’s the only restaurant in town we order Chinese food from. Great customer service, food is delicious, reasonably priced, large portions. The hot and sour soup will heal your soul. The girl who delivers is so sweet, too. We always tip her well!!! You should, too!

We had a delicious meal at Lin's Garden, on Main Street in Saint Charles, Illinois. This is an authentic Chinese restaurant, the experience begins when you walk into their lovely dining room, beautifully decorated with Chinese themed decor. The menu had a vast array of options. The server was also excellent and very attentive. Our server offered to adjust a spicy dish without the spiciness. Additionally, we were having a good time enjoying our conversation and not watching the time when we realized that the restaurant was closing in 10 minutes. Our server made no indication of pushing us along nor did he mention the closing hour. We enjoyed an order of hot tea, vegetable egg rolls, two orders of Shrimp Satay- one spicy and the other without heat, and an order of Empress Shrimp. The food was fresh and delicious. The tea was perfectly made, hot, delicious, and had a good tea color. The egg rolls came with a sweet dipping sauce and a spicy mustard sauce. They were perfectly crunchy and filled with a tasty vegetable filling. The shrimp and vegetables was perfectly cooked tender and delicious in all three dishes. When we are hungry for Chinese, this will be the Chinese restaurant we return to.

The worst food I ever has no meat I the Mongolian beef and no shrimp In the shrimp fried rice. Called the restaurant and they told me that the Mongolian beef is mostly onions.

I have ordered Hunan three Delightore then several times snd it's never consistent. Ordered it again last night and just got vegetables with 1 pc of shrimp, chicken and beef. The vegetables were cut huge. I paid 15.99 for vegetables. This isn't the food item that is disappointing. It just gets worse. When I called the owner just said he couldn't believe do I said after 30 years of going to this place, that's it you've just lost my business. His comment was OK!

Been meaning to write this review for a while because I've been going to this place with my mother since I was a child, and this place used to have the best Chinese food closest us. But it says a lot when they can't even get the potstickers right thesedays. Was STARVING when I called here after a long drive. Was told to wait 20 minutes for an order of potstickers. Okay, no biggie. But after opening the container, I saw crust COMPLETELY covering the bottom of each potsticker, as if I ordered the remnants of greasy leftovers from the pan! Lukewarm. And they put the soy sauce in a small rice container, my God! If I didn't hold it in my lap on the way home it would have been a disaster for the backseat as they nearly filled it to the brim! No napkins. Just grease and grime all over, signs of a poorly maintained kitchen ... kind of a sad experience for me seeing what used to be a go to place turn into a place I probably won't go to again since it doesn't really compare to other places that now exist...

Super cool vibe, honestly feels like a hidden gem. I asked how long they were going and they said 33 years! The food and service was really great!
