The good: We ordered delivery, arrived on time and warm; The veggies in my dish were generous proportion and cooked just right, mushrooms were great, those little shiatake ones....we received both almond cookes & fortune cookies and the spring/egg roll was really, really good. The bad: My husband ordered fried rice, (his favorite) it was awful, not fried at all, not even "brown" from sauce, it was white and not even that yummy, slightly oily taste...the sparse veggies included were like the little frozen ones, not even the usual chopped veggies mixed in like onion, scallions or cabbage...and my rice, also white, was bad...not the usual steamy, sticky kind expected. when we called to ask about the rice, like how could they even call it fried rice, they basically shrugged it off, like they could have cared less. Also, I had requested my veggies w/ sauce be "hot" and it wasnt , no peppers visable either.

I have to add our review. We tried this place because of all the positive reviews, and we didnt find it to be any better than any other Chinese takeout, actually my husband thought it was worse. The chicken was not tender and the fried rice was bland. We also tried the crab rangoon, they were okay, nothing spectacular, kind of greasy. The egg drop soup was nasty slimy, nothing like any other Ive had, I couldnt even stomach it. I really wanted to like this place because its so close to our house, but I dont know if Ill try it again.

Not fancy but who cares when the food is this good. I spent 2 weeks in China when I was younger and it put me off from "Chinese" food in the U. S. The seasonings are authentic and the preparation spot-on. The sauces arent artificially bright colors, the rice isnt contaminated by cubed carrots and the chicken tastes like chicken. The woman working the counter is delightful if you take the time to talk to her and they thrive on the return business of regular customers.

Chi Lin is our "GO TO" restaurant for chinese! Even our company asks for Chi Lin after having it once. I grew up visiting chinese restaurants in downtown Washington, DC and for me...Chi Lin is as close as it gets. The restaurant owner is absolutely wonderful and has always prepared our dishes according to our tastes, when she can. They are always good to us and make us feel special! Something alot of restaurants today forget. *thumbs up*

This place is awesome. Every time we go there we absolutely love it, just wish it wasnt 40 minutes from where we live. I highly recommend the juice/tea with tapioca (particularly the mango with tapioca). If you have any diet concerns you can just mention them to her when you go in and she will either point you to items on the menu that fit what you want or custom make the other items to conform to your diet.

Phone was busy for two hours could not even get threw, so I go in and they have their one phone laying their off the hook so they dont have to take calls.what resturant only has one line with delivery. Didnt even order just walked out after they were rued from asking why their phone is off the hook. Wouldnt recommend this place

Chi Lins vegetable fried rice is exceptionally good. Ive ordered it many times for myself and my husband, as well as by the pan for my clients. And I would not serve it to my clients, if I didnt think it was the best fried rice around. I highly recommend their food to everyone. Mandy Merritt For Any Occasion Catering

This place is unbelievable. If you go in and watch them cook the food, you will see why. Very authentic. I have ordered the Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Beef, spicy and it was fantastic. This is most definitely the best Chinese restaurant on the Island.

Just go here, now! But seriously this is the best take out Chinese place I have ever been too (you have to understand I am obsessed with Chinese take out places), no less the best in all of Brevard county. Please just come and eat here immediately.

Hands down! Decent prices, wide selection. They have delivery sometimes, usually after 5:30. Sometimes when you call for takeout there is a slight language barrier, but not with this place, they understand every word and give great reccomendations.

Best Chinese food in Brevard County. Dont let the strip mall/no frills location scare you. Take it home and enjoy. The only negative is that it took me two years to find and try it. It is now a weekly staple around our house.

They have a great lunch deal. I really enjoy just about everything on the menu and how they always use fresh vegetables and quality cuts of meat. Without question the best Chinese carry-out in Merritt Island.

Best take out on Merritt island! I have never had a bad experience with them. Give it a shot! The older woman who works there is also so friendly when you walk in to pick up your order :)

OMG the best lunch take out and you get SOOO much! No lunch over $6.65 and with the meal you get a soup, spring roll and crispy noodles and fried or white rice. WHAT A DEAL!!

Great food for a great price! I absolutely adore their spring rolls! The box lunch is probably the greatest deal. So much food for around $6!

It is what it is, my family and I just moved to the island and are becoming regular customers. People who complain should pay more.
