Lin’s Asian Buffet

Have one in San Antonio. This one wasn’t as big, but friendly and the food was good. They had some kind of fried tofu strips with veggies that almost made me stay! Lol. I’m going back for sure. Love buffets and Chinese food! Sushi was super fresh as well!

To me this Chinese buffet isn’t bad at all! We have been there three times and my mom loves it, hahaha! I am not sure if I will be back by myself but not bad experience.

No no no! What are all these high reviews about? Food was NOT fresh and 85% of items were cold (when they were supposed to be hot) we paid for dinner but felt like we were still finishing the lunch buffet since everything tasted cold… The best things on the item was… Ice cream and the ice cold water. Yup

I went today because of the latest reviews. All I can say is YUCK. All the food I had was cold and had no flavor. I took a bite of chicken, soup and oyster. Could not leave soon enough.

My kids’ favorite restaurant of all time now. Mine, too!

While in DFW the Beast had a need for buffet style Chinese food. While there are chains offering similar style cuisine in the area, Lin’s is a gem with the Mongolian station. The price also is bar none the best value for food quality.

Came back the food has improved drastically, it’s delicious! Love love love this place.

Great selection and very reasonable price. This is where my family get together for at least once a month. Staffs are very friendly. They even know that I have a regular table seating at table C3. Tonight. I am inviting a party of 12 to test their wonderful food.

Dinner is $ 10.59. You can eat a lot of food. There are may choices. It is quite edible. You will be very full. In terms of Chinese AYCE buffets … I’m not sure what more you could ask for.
(1) Skip the Sushi. It’s mainly rice and imitation crab meat.
(2) Do eat as much steamed proteins. They are much healthier than their fried counterparts.
(3) If you do opt for the Honey Chicken or Sweet & Sour Chicken, grab a few pieces.
(4) Skip dessert. You might as well waste calories on real food.
(5) No idea why you’d bother with salad anyway.
(6) Vegetarians could ask for a special plate since there aren’t many vegetarians options. In fact, I don’t remember ANY tofu options.
(7) Worst case scenario … Fitness Connection, 24 Hour Fitness, and Lifetime Fitness are all next door in case you eat too much.

Wow the buffet is great and nice. Fish shrimp sushi chicken and many varieties … The best taste too. Liked it a lot
Will be back again

My family was there in the evening to try out this buffet place. The service was great but food on the other hand was awful. Everything is very sweet and not fresh at all. The worse part was we all experience tummy-​ache and diarrhea that night and the next day.
I will never go back to this place again.

I was looking for a really good Asian buffet after being spoiled by my favorite one in North Richland Hills, that is now too far away. I wanted one with a large variety of options, a Mongolian grill, sushi bar, and a good selection of desert options. I also wanted it to be clean with a decent class of patrons, i.e. people with manners, who supervise their kiddos, and don’t cough while at the buffet line, ect. I found it!!! This place is great and I will be frequenting often!!!

Lin’s is the only Chinese buffet place I will step into. I don’t like Chinese buffets for many reasons. One being it’s nasty and not worth the money. Lin’s on the other hand is actually pretty good for a buffet. They have sushi, raw seafood, hibachi and the normal buffet food. When we do come here we like to eat up on the raw seafood. I had some and it wasn’t that bad but being a buffet it wasn’t top notch. I like to eat the sushi rolls and their egg drop soup. Their egg drop soup is the best out of all egg drop soups I’ve had. The sushi rolls won’t fall apart as you try to indulge it. The sushi man does a good job in rolling them. Most of the rolls are cali roll based but there are some sushi as well. If you do eat sushi rolls make sure you eat a plenty amount of ginger to kill bacteria.
The buffet area and the seating area are clean. The cooks are constantly filling up empty trays. The servers are on alert and at your service. For $ 10.99 the price is reasonable. I mean what more can I say but to come out to Lin’s if you want to eat at a Chinese buffet.

Love this place and go here about 5 – 6 times a month! The waiters fill refill your drink as soon as its empty and are very nice about it. The price is cheap and people who come here expecting life-​changing Asian food will be disappointed. The food is good for the price and there is a lot of variety, including a wok but don’t come here expecting gourmet.

Meh.
Best way to sum it up. Not great, by no means bad, you can’t expect anything great out of a Chinese buffet for $ 9 (lunch, after taxes).
Usual fare, nothing stood out, orange chicken was ok, a pretty good spread. Sushi looked pale and stale, I wouldn’t trust it necessarily… if it didn’t look good to eat, as other reviewers have said, not necessarily worth trying?
Didn’t try the Mongolian grill, though it looked standard like some others. Overall, it was «meh»…wasn’t «wow» or «ick» and as with all Chinese buffets, you leave feeling «ugh». :)

Sometimes, the value proposition really helps a place out. Lin’s Asian Buffet exceeds in value, for sure. The lunch buffet with water is less than $ 9, and the buffet itself is HUGE, clean and is kept well stocked. Are you likely to find the finest in Chinese cuisine here? Maybe not, but the dishes I tried were all certainly respectable from the flavor, texture and overall quality standpoints.
A spicy chicken dish had a nice heat and crunchy vegetables. The broccoli in the broccoli beef wasn’t mushy and had a nice crunch. Seafood bake, a bit of a guilty pleasure, featured «krab» and shrimp in a rich sauce, topped with cheddar cheese. What’s that? Didn’t have that during your last trip to Beijing? No matter, this is America, and it was tasty.
Tempura vegetables are usually something I’ll pick up one or two pieces of, and I liked my sweet potato. Crisp coating, tender sweet potato and overall good quality. My favorite overall dish, though, was the spicy beef, which, like the chicken, had a nice heat.
Service was very good, with the servers keeping the glasses full and the plates cleared for our group that was over 20 in size.
Bottom line, maybe any one food item is in the 3 – 3.5 star range, but the variety, price, cleanliness/​décor and service make this a definite four star experience within the Chinese buffet domain.

First time coming by with friends just because we were craving easy Chinese food. Lin’s Asian Buffet is a really nice and clean looking Chinese place when you walk in. It’s a buffet. You need to have expectations that you’re not eating at Capital Grilled Steak House. The food looked fresh and had good amount of items. The sushi was low quality, I would avoid that. Did not do the Hibachi. Rice and noodle offerings, decent dumplings, the egg rolls were tough, fabulous green beans, lots of broccoli and protein dishes that we tasty. Fried blue crabs in ginger sauce on Friday were delish! This place was well worth it.
Reasonable price after all. Staffs were friendly. if I was in the area I would probably visit again.

Came here on Saturday with my gf. The place is nice and all and they have a decent amount of selections (typical).
Why I am giving this place one star is because I found a chicken bone in their teriyaki chicken. I just broke part of my back left molar on a bone.
Obviously I am done eating once I found the bone.
Now I wasn’t going to say anything but when I got my bill they took it back. I thought they were going to comp it.
Instead they gave me a 1.92 off (10 percent)
I was just informed that they only give 10% off for finding bones in your food and that they have an insurance company FOR WHEN YOU CHIP YOUR TOOTH!!!
DO NOT GO HERE!

Sometimes quantity is desired over quality.
I broke down, okay? Don’t judge me. I don’t even give a care that it’s not authentic and that my grandmother (RIP) would cry seeing me eat the super awesome almond cookie with the froyo. For a Chinese buffet, I considered it decent actually. What I had was semi-​fresh and that made me happy because I was starving. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the one Chinese buffet classic that is one of the few things that I actually enjoy, the chicken and vegetables in white sauce. It’s one of the few things that’s lighter and not drenched in syrup. I seriously don’t taste or know the difference between, general tso’s chicken, orange chicken, honey chicken and sesame chicken. I don’t care that’s it’s not authentic, but they seriously all taste the same to me.
The best thing for someone’s who’s not going straight towards the french fries and apple pie (just like back in the old country) is the steamed fish. I was hawk-​eyeing the employee refilling it because it’s easily the best thing there. It has sliced ginger and green scallions on top. Yum.

Pretty well designed inside even for a Chinese buffet. The place is huge and spread out. They had a good selection of food including sushi and the made to order grill (whatever it’s called). They could do well by adding just a few more meat selection but at the same time for $ 10.95 dinner it’s a solid selection. They have cookies and soft serve, fruits, and pudding for dessert.
The waitresses were friendly and quick to clean up the dishes and refill water. It’s BYOB/​W, which I thought was unique for a Chinese buffett. It’s worth the price and trip.
