" Lin's Express was just okay for me. I've had better Chinese food elsewhere. The lemon chicken was very stingy on the lemon flavor, which was disappointing because I love lemon! The service was friendly though, and it’s a nice-looking restaurant. Not sure if I'd return. " (*Curated Review*)

" An awful experience overall. The fried rice felt like it had been reheated multiple times, and I definitely ordered soy sauce but didn’t get it. The service was inattentive even though the restaurant was empty. For the price, I expected better quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant before going because of mixed reviews, but I had a good experience. The staff were friendly and got our orders out quickly. I ordered the fried shrimp and loved it! Will definitely come back to try more items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience! The flavors in the Mongolian beef were outstanding, and I felt like I had enough food for four people. Their staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience of the restaurant made it a very pleasant evening! Definitely coming back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lin's Express is a decent option for casual dining. The sweet and sour chicken was decent, though I wish there'd been more vegetables in the dish. The atmosphere is casual, and the portion size is generous for the price. Overall, it's a fair choice for a quick meal but not the best. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (277)

" An ordinary experience at Lin's Express. The portions are large, but the food themselves didn’t impress me. The beef was chewy and the broccoli had a slightly weird taste. Staff were polite, but I wouldn't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must express my discontent with my last visit to Lin's Express. My sweet and sour chicken tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long; very rubbery. The service was quick but felt a bit indifferent. The place was clean, which was nice. I don't think I will be back since my experience was not pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)
