Description

Lin's buffet offers a mixed dining experience, with notable strengths and weaknesses. While several diners praise the extensive selection of authentic Chinese dishes and attentive staff, there are recurring complaints about food quality and availability, particularly as closing time approaches. Some guests express disappointment with tasteless options and limited variety, especially in the sushi area. However, excellent service, such as from dedicated waitstaff, garnered appreciation. Despite concerns over pricing and food consistency, families are drawn to the wide range of offerings, including kid-friendly choices. Ultimately, the buffet holds potential for satisfying meals, but improvements are needed for a consistent experience.

The stir-fry at the grill was not prepared well; it only tasted like garlic. Overall, the buffet was disappointing. The other Lin's buffet has a better selection, and the cook there knows how to incorporate the right flavors like soy sauce, garlic, and teriyaki. I left feeling let down. However, I will say that the waitstaff was very attentive.

There is no variety, many single trays and tasteless.

The cooks now leave at 7 PM. We arrived, paid our bill, but when we went to serve ourselves, there was no food available in the serving area. I asked a staff member for assistance, and she explained, “Our cooks are leaving at 7 PM because we’re preparing to close the restaurant in three weeks at 7 PM.” I asked if the lady at the front had informed us about this, but it turns out she hadn’t. No one communicated anything, so I had to request a refund and leave the restaurant.

I saw an ad of this place on Facebook and decided I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately I saw the post kind of late and I arrived 1.5 hours before closing. The staff was really nice and they even continued to bring out new food even though it was almost closing time. The food was pretty good if you are looking for Chinese, they don't really have a large selection of other type of food though.
