What Joel K likes about Lin Chinese Cuisine and Tea House:
We ordered the Veggie Buns, 4 giant ones. We took 2 of these tasty buns home. We also had the PF Cake with Beef and other fillings. Yummy and delicious and full of beef and tastiness. The last was the Peking Duck two ways. One with smoked duck with hoisin and thin wraps. The 2nd duck chopped in small diced pieces with peas, corn, carrots, celery and other veggies and spices served with lettuce wraps and hoisin sauce... View all feedback. What AlmondCroissant doesn't like about Lin Chinese Cuisine and Tea House:
This restaurant has a canteeny feel to it. The food was nothing special and the toilets were miles away out the back. We were visiting relatives in Vancouver and were not impressed. I can't understand why this place is rated so highly on TripAdvisor View all feedback.

Must try Shao Long Bao. They are juicy, rich in favour but not oil at all. Love they pea shoot vegetables too. New favour is pan fire bum, super delicious.

The reviews for this restaurant paint a mixed picture. While some customers were thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the food, others found it delicious and flavorful. Complaints ranged from greasy and old dishes to slow service and expired condiment packets. However, on the positive side, many customers praised the delicious veggie buns, Peking Duck two ways, and diverse selection of foods. The attentive service provided by Simon was also noted as a highlight. Overall, experiences at this restaurant seem to vary greatly, with some customers vowing never to return while others are eager to come back for more mouth-watering dishes.
