Have eaten here once every few months for a few years. Tonight I paid over forty dollars for two adults and two small children (not including drinks) only to find over half the food items stale and cold. I had quit coming here as often due to crab on the weekend driving the cost even higher considering I dont want to eat it or compete with the inconsiderate people that wait and take all of the next batch that comes out. Tonight was the final straw. I dont demand cheap, but I at least expect fresh food. They may do better to reduce the number of different food items, reduce the price slightly, and focus on keeping it clean and fresh. The people that come here to eat 50 dollars of crab for 15 dollars are not the customers they should be designing their weekend menu around. Put the crab behind the counter and allow people to buy an add on portion and simplify and improve what remains.

Food was good.. My only concern is visually this place has seen better days, Im not from the area but I ate there about 6 years ago and it looks like the place has just gone down hill.. The floors, carpet, are nasty just nasty brown stained... Very unappealing.. The tables and walls seemed dirty as well.. The place is in dire need of some loving, I only hope the food prep areas arent in the same conditions.. I am only giving it 3 out 5 because the food was actually very good.. I didnt get sick lol.. If the place was to get cleaned up and carpets either replaced or shampoo them if that even would help then Id easily place it as a 5.

It was probably the worst buffet I have ever had. Im not a picky person because I love food, but this place was horrible. Please trust me and dont spend your money here. The food was very bland like the other person on the review posted. The food looked old, like it had been sitting there. Had to eat a salad because the food was bad. The dishes were dirty, the service was bad for the type of service you get at buffets, and the waitress was not so good. The only plus part was that it looks nice inside. Will never go there again...

I use to love this place they use to have really good food and it was always filling.. but Im sad to say on my recent visit the food was not so great there was no taste in the rice and lo mein. The food quantity was low they brought out new low mein and it was only a lol bit 3 ppl pretty much took it all right when it came out... pretty sad this place is dying down dnt know how much longer it gonna last.. oh the service was not the same they only came one time and never came back to pick the plates or offer a refill...

I usually come for lunch and get a to go box, which is charged by the pound. Be careful And make sure they measure your order. I watched the gentleman pretend to weigh my box today by waving it in the general direction of the scale (didnt even put it down on the scale) than just make of a price "$4.85". I know i usually spend $3 so i asked him to remeasure, new cost was $3.20. Dont let them swindle you! Im probably not coming back, who knows how many times theyve lied and I just wasnt paying attention.

Advertised crab legs but they only brought out enough for 3 ppl every 15 minutes. So they have ppl waiting for it and by the time its your turn in line there is none left so you end up having to wait. Dont come to Lins grand buffet for crab legs because more then likely youll end up fighting to the death for some. And the variety of food there is minimal. Definitely not worth the money and trouble. Server was unattentive had to get up and get own refill. Soup was sour like it was spoiled.

This place forgot to close 10 years ago with the rest of the out dated -funny smelling- sketchy buffets.A black guy is your host with all mexican cooks- and one asian girl who looks like she is going to kill herself.When the shrimp is next to the pudding we have a problem .I got there at 5pm and everything was stale or cold or strange smelling. The bathrooms were so bad I held my breath while I was I there. The place is huge but only 4 others tables were occupied. I wonder why

Meh. Lins used to be good (9 years ago). My family returned today to a 1/2 full buffet. Some of the dishes that should have been warm/hot werent (shrimp stir fry was cool- not cold like salad shrimp, and not warm like stir fry; hope I dont get sick.), and the fried zucchini burned my tongue. We discovered that the safest food was the prepackaged food (I.e. Cookies). 1/3 of the ice cream machine was working. Plus side- service was good.

I like the variety! However there should be signs warning people that some of the dishes are "hot spicy"! Like they do it at other eateries! I was unpleasantly surprised when I bit into a supposedly bell pepper tempura, but it turned out to be jalapeño!! Ouch...same thing with some sushi pieces. On the bright side they finally started serving Kikkoman Japanese soy sauce instead of bitter tasting Korean or Chinese Kimlan!

Oops! My last review was about Chinawok! Line is actually really good. I know they have a huge selection of food and sometimes it has been sitting there a little long it gets stail. But they have a live chef to cook your food right then and there. Great food. Sometimes sail tho. Customer service isnt there attraction. Thats for sure. But would rather go here then Chinawok. Ewww... Chinawok..

I dont really have any complaints about this restaurant except for one. When this place serves crab legs, they need to put a strict limit on how many each customer can have at a time. There are always these few people who hog all the crab legs and stack them a mile high for themselves, and its not fair to everybody else. This needs to stop. Everybody pays for them.

The WORST Chinese buffet I have ever visited. I went during lunch time, so youd think the food would be fresh. Yet, it was dry and overcooked and seemed like it had been sitting out for days. Everything was lacking in flavor. The buffet consisted of several varieties of chicken (of course, the cheapest meat) and a few dried up shrimp. This was such a waste of money.

If I can, I will put 0, this place is nasty and food is not fresh, and I hope soon the Commission will check them and then shut down this place forever, cause yesterday I strongly poisoned, and today it is 5 times burp, but I dont have health insurance to go to hospital, but remember what I say, dont go there they not good not fresh and not friendly owner cashier.
