I really like this place, but today's combination fried rice and low main was an absolute disaster. The rice had so much soy sauce that it looked burned of how dark it was, same thing for the low main. If we didn't live so far away i would've returnedthe food. Will not be ordering that again. The broccoli beef was pretty good with the white rice. That said this place ispreforming at a 33%. It's just disappointing.

Doesn’t taste right. It’s like someone who doesn’t know how to cook Chinese food made this. The beef and broccoli was the best thing I ordered and it wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. The fried rice and the egg drop soup were both very weird. Theyput onions and scallions in the egg drop soup which I’ve never had in 37 year of eating Chinese food and it totally changedthe flavor of the soup and not in a good way. The “ Fried rice“ had big chunks of onion and it was not good. It had noflavor. I definitely won’t be back but was hoping the bad reviews were just an off day.

The location is in a busy area, need to be careful. I ordered chicken fried rice for $10.99 and well ehh the fried rice was ok I’ll give it a 6/10 …the chicken though. It tasted very rubberish ruined the rice. I honestly would give it a secondchance but without the chicken… uhh the restaurant is pretty clean inside and out. The restrooms are clean and for single use.I came around 4PM-5PM and it was dead I only saw one couple there but I feel like every time I pass by it’s emptyhonestly… Customer service 8/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Accuracy 8/10 Food 6/10 Overall experience 7/10

We ordered online at Lin’s Express on the app from their website (Mealkeyway to pick up at 3:30-3:45pm on a Sunday. We ordered four plates: sweet and sour chicken, lo mein beef, orange chicken, and sesame chicken. It was a ton of food that camewith 4 crab ragoons and 2 egg rolls, 2 fried rice and two lo mein noodles. We are a family of six and it was a LOT of food. Wehave leftover’s. The food was warm, not hot, but today is a cold day outside. They were prompt in having our food ready, andwe picked up at the drive thru. I will order for pick up from here again! Yummy food :

Wow, where to start? We ordered online. The website was easy to navigate. I ordered the generals chicken $11+ . Spicy is an understatement. The spice is supposed to enhance the flavor of the meal not overwhelm it. My butt will be bleeding later. ThanksLin's Express. Had two bites and couldn't finish it. I can do spicy hot but this was unreal. Not good. Maybe it was just thisone time. My drink $5 was the classic milk tea the puke orange drink pic I posted below. Not sure what this drink was but Ipoured myself a drink at home instead. My husband ordered the seaseme chicken. More like rubber bland chicken. His purple drinkwas supposed to be a Thai Tea but it's not. Idk if there's a Hispanic twist to it but it's not Thai. The egg rolls were awful.Absolutely disgusting. The lo mein noodle were bland cold. Overall $43 spent. Can't say wasted because every meal is aculinary adventure. We, our family friends will not be eating at this establishment. Best of luck and hopefully improvementswill be put in place. When we arrived to pick up our meal a cook was sitting outside smoking a cigarette. Just a friendlyFYI. Don't recommend this place. ????????????????
