Customer reviews for Lin Garden Restaurant present contrasting experiences. One reviewer found the $11 buffet to be a "cheap way to fill up quickly," noting the availability of small batches with a variety of choices and particularly enjoying the coconut chicken.
However, another customer expressed significant dissatisfaction with their takeout order. They described the crab rangoon as overcooked and runny inside. The chicken and cashews dish was criticized for containing an excessive amount of celery, with the reviewer stating that after removing the chicken and cashews, they were left with over two cups of celery, which they found "gross." Additionally, their lo mein was described as "terrible" and loaded with mushrooms despite a specific instruction to omit them, leading to the dish being inedible and a waste of money. This reviewer concluded that there is better Chinese food available in Peru.
As a Chinese restaurant in Ottawa, IL, Lin Garden Restaurant offers both a buffet and takeout service. While the buffet was seen as an affordable option with some enjoyable dishes like the coconut chicken, the takeout experience described in another review highlighted issues with food quality (overcooked crab rangoon), ingredient proportions (excessive celery), and order accuracy (mushrooms in lo mein despite a request to exclude them). Potential customers may want to consider these differing recent experiences when making a decision.

This little restaurant is a cheap way to fill up quickly. We stopped in for the $11 buffet, and small batches were available with a variety of choices. My favorite was the coconut chicken!!
We were not impressed. The crab Rangoon is over cooked and runny inside. The chicken and cashews would have been okay if it wasn't all celery. The picture I took is after I picked out all of the chicken and cashews and was left with like more than 2 cups of celery. That is gross. They need to cut that down to like 1 stalk maybe. Then the lo mein is just terrible. It was loaded down with mushrooms and we put in the instructions that we didn't want mushrooms in it. It was way too many to pick out and had to be thrown out. What a waste of $30. There is better Chinese over in Peru.
I just had my order delivered that was almost $60 for Large Pork rice, small beef fried rice. 4 eggs rolls, 1 order of fried pot stickers and general sols chicken ( I know that's spelled incorrect) lol. I never leave reviews on orders even if they are bad. However, the disappointment with this order is past terrible. Small beef fried rice, literally had 2 pieces of beef. Eggrolls 4 of them, they were really mushy inside and tasted fishy. Terrible terrible Fried Pot sticker were soggy but would have been great if they were mad how ordered fried. Large pork fried rice no complaints it was decent. General so chicken was good. Duck sauce is not sweet and sour sauce I requested sweet n sour sauce and didn't get it. All in all very verry disappointed in the food that was very expensive. If I am paying that amount of money I expect atleast good food. I'm sorry for the review but this was just all in all bad. Oooo but delivery was fast
Trash! Dark meat peanut butter chicken that is chewy and stringy when not chewy, pissed I wasted $40 just to throw it away no plain rice plain fired rice!?!? I want my money back!
Came out here Chicago to camp 🏕 & I approve this place 👌
