If you’re craving variety and generous portions, Lin Chinese Buffet delivers a satisfying dining experience with a wide array of options spread across six well-stocked food stations. From hearty soups to refreshing fruits and indulgent ice cream, they have something for every palate. What I particularly enjoyed was the variety of proteins and sides—think crispy, golden-battered frog legs and fried shrimp that were tender on the inside, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. Their green beans were vibrant, crisp, and coated in just the right amount of garlic, making them a fresh balance against the rich, fried options. The buffet also included plump dumplings, savory stir-fried mushrooms, and freshly steamed clams for a seafood touch. For meat lovers, there were hearty cuts of steak and pork complemented by sautéed mushrooms, offering a satisfying savory bite. One of the standout features at Lin Chinese Buffet is their fresh Mongolian-style cooking station, where you can customize your dish with a variety of meats, vegetables, and sauces, cooked right in front of you. It adds an interactive, made-to-order element that elevates the buffet experience. What sets Lin Chinese Buffet further apart is their thoughtful setup. They offer a separate section specifically designed for friends or group gatherings, making it an ideal spot for celebrating special occasions or just enjoying a meal with loved ones in a more private setting. The dessert and fruit section rounded things out nicely, with ice cream and fresh options to cleanse the palate after the indulgence. It’s clear that Lin Buffet prioritizes variety while maintaining solid quality for a buffet-style dining experience. If you’re in the mood for variety and love to mix and match dishes, this spot is worth a visit—especially for their Mongolian-style station and the dedicated space for group gatherings.
Weekday Dinner Cost: $17 Recommended: Green Beans, Hibachi grill (you can request egg). You pay upfront and then get seated immediately. The grill chef here does an awesome job, he cooked everything perfectly. I love garlic green beans and they also make the green beans very tasty. 5/5 good value Chinese buffet with fresh tasty food.
Three of us went here for Sunday night dinner. Around $50. Big buffet, a lot of options. Plenty of seats and parking. The service was great. My daughter was struggling with chopsticks so the server made her one to use. The food was good. Shrimp, noodles and rice. Tasty!
I always love the food here. You pay before you are seated, which takes the worry out of if you have enough, and you can add the tip right there at the register. You can get a lot or a little and the wait staff are attentive without being intruding. The atmosphere is lovely with cultural pictures all around, and it is always fun to see the statues in the lobby.
I'm a well known customer by the staff as I come in a lot I've known 1 of the workers since I was way younger I'm 14-15 and I've known them for awhile if you need a place to stop for somewhere to eat I definitely recommend them, the staff are very nice!! And their food is great I recommend them for sure :)
