Decent place. Scratches the itch for Chinese food. You definitely get a very good bang for the buck. Is it going to blow you into next week? No. But are you going to leave satisfied, full and happy? Yep.Plus, they have a robot with cat ears deliver your food. It's adorable.

I had the orange chicken. If that dish could play basketball, it would average a quintuple double. Points, assists, blocks, steals and rebounds.

This is our favorite place to go for Chinese and Thai food. We have been going here for years. I typically get carry out and it’s always ready quickly even when it’s really busy. My daughter and her boyfriend usually try to eat at the restaurant when able it’s always been great ! The service and staff are very friendly!!! When restaurants had issues in 2020 Lin’s did not skip a beat. Even on busy nights it went smoothly for pick ups. If you haven’t given them a try you really should !

Haven't stopped by here for years. I have tried their Chinese food several times before, which I would give a 4 out of 5. They do well with the basic dishes but I judge most places based on their Hunan Chicken and I did not like their version of it.This new review is mainly a rating of the Pad See Ew. Given I think this place is primarily an Americanized Chinese restaurant first and Thai second, I did not have high expectations for the Pad See Ew but wanted to give it a try anyway.The sauce was actually not bad. Of course it can't compare to other good Thai restaurants over in West End, Carytown or Mechanicsville but for what it is, it was tasty. I also asked for spicy and I really appreciated that the sauce was decently spicy. Probably on the level of a medium at a legit Thai restaurant, which is actually spicier than so many Thai joints in the area that serve such mild "Thai Hots."The main gripe I had with this dish was the beef. It was not cooked well. It had the flavor of beef that was not seasoned properly before being cooked or was not cooked with the dish but added after everything else in the dish had been done. It had a flavor that did not blend in with the rest of the dish and it was cut in chunks and had a slightly chewy texture. I sensed that had this beef been in a Chinese Beef and Broccoli dish, it would have been just fine bit in this dish, it was not properly prepared.The size of the dish and the quantity of meat was generous. I think for 14.83 with tax, they gave a very good amount of food.In the future, I wouldn't order the Pad See Ew with beef but might be willing to try it with chicken, just to see if the meat blends in better. Probably not though. I'd recommend just stick to the Chinese dishes.

I love the fact you can get Japanese, Chinese and Thai food in one location. I had the Panang Curry and it was wonderful, a perfect blend of spice and coconut milk. I finally found my Thai restaurant and am anxious to try their Japanese and Chinese dishes. They also do a brisk takeout business as well.

Went there for lunch and hands down the worst Chinese food we have ever had. Chicken in the dish tasted old. It was chopped in cubes and tasteless. Tons of large chunks of lightly sautéed celery and green peppers for vegetables. Friend rice was not fried at all. Just soaked in soy sauce with some egg thrown in. Ordered “sushi appetizer” which was supposed to be rolls (maki) but got nigiri instead. Waiter didn’t even ask why we weren’t touching our food. Do not recommend at all.
