About Hua Lin
Hua Lin is a Chinese restaurant located at 245 Hope St in Stamford, CT. Customer reviews present a mixed picture of this establishment.
One reviewer had a significantly negative experience, citing rude phone service when inquiring about lunch specials and claiming the food was terrible and tasteless. They also mentioned that the restaurant was better under previous ownership.
In contrast, another customer who had always wanted to try the place found it to be "decent." They particularly enjoyed the dumplings, noting that you get a generous portion (7/8) for a good price and described them as big, juicy, and delicious. Their experience with the chicken wings was less consistent; while usually crispy, a recent order was overcooked and dry. They also had mixed opinions on the sauces, liking the dumpling sauce but not the BBQ sauce.
Despite some inconsistencies, another reviewer found Hua Lin to be "a good takeout restaurant that serves better than average food with good portions." They also noted that it "seems to be family ran which I find endearing!" and indicated they would return.

I’m not one to usually write reviews… called in to ask if there was lunch special and he goes “no” hang ups on me. Kid I was ready to order something else. Unfortunately I will take my money somewhere else, teach your cashier not to be rude and hanging up on people come on? Food is terrible here anyways and has no taste go somewhere Chinese food here is terrible. This spot use to be good when it was owned by other families
I always wanted to try this place after passing by it when getting gas. It’s a decent place. I love that I get 7/8 dumplings for a decent price here. The dumplings are big, juicy and delicious. The chicken wings are crispy but the latest time we had the chicken it was fried too hard, so it was dry. As for their sauces, dumpling sauce is great but their bbq sauce I’m not a fan of. Overall, a good takeout restaurant that serves better than average food with good portions. It also seems to be family ran which I find endearing! I’ll definitely come back.
This first time I went there, seemed like forever before they acknowledged me. When I started to give my order, the worker taking it seemed to be annoyed by my presence/complexion. I swore I wouldn't patronize this establishment and haven't, however tonight I was craving a shrimp roll. I get out my car approaching the restaurant, I noticed the worker, jump up quickly & move from by the door, strange. I went to open the door & it was locked, strange. None of the workers inside, looked up from what they were doing, so I just left. I went to the website to check closing time, to find out it's 10pm. Never ever again, which based on my experience wouldn't matter to them.
I was a old customer I used to live on the area couple years ago so I used to go A lot there I went today I ordered the same thing. I used to order first tables that were dirty. The heat wasn’t even on. It was cold in there. I ordered the wonton soup before they used to give it to you on actual bowl they give it to me on a to go container they used to come with green onions. Nothing now second plate order was the general tost Chicken with pork fried rice combo that comes with a spring roll. Price was super blend no flavors at all so I finish eating I stand up. I was about to leave and I told the lady your food has changed a lot. She answered me straight back. No I don’t. We use the same thing the same recipe. I’m like OK but something has changed. She started talking back to me saying I am the one that doesn’t have the taste for her food.
Our go-to place for Chinese takeout, everyone is super friendly and the food is always delicious!
