Noodles really salty. Used to deliver food to this restaurant. Back then gave it five stars. Food quality has gone down. Service was good prompt refills and when we asked for napkins. Would like to see manager doing walk thru on the line.
Came here around 2pm on a Monday. Food was good with wide variety to choose from. Everything was generally fresh and table service here was nice taking plates and refilling drinks. Will definitely come back.
Didn't like their buffet. Their buffet costs $14+tax and ends at 9:30 pm. We went their around 8:30 and their buffet was not warm and not fresh either. Sushi was the only thing we liked. Their steak was too dry and hard. They employees were started cleaning the floor and tables. It was really annoying and too much unprofessional. They also started closing the buffet around 9 pm though they supposed to be opened until 9:30pm. They have enough parking space and washroom was clean. I wouldn't recommend to go their after 8 pm and you'll get better food with the same money in other buffet
This is a great place to eat. They offer everything there Asian and American food. There's a sushi bar and a grill as well as a bakery where you get everything made to order in front of you. The interior design was definitely grand and there's no waiting in line but always a lot of people. Expect to pay $10+ a person, even for children.
Good buffet!! Get there early though. It gets packed fast. The prices are affordable, the food is excellent.
FANTASTIC! Lin's Grand Buffet is the best Chinese buffet in Arizona! They have an amazing selection of food. It is Pepsi products for soda. Try the little sugared doughnuts. They are so addicting! I really wish I discovered this restaurant sooner, as it is now a new favorite. Definitely worth the price and drive in traffic. The orange chicken is amazing.
A great place. I have a good experiencs.
First visit yesterday. Could not fault the food or the service. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely come back next time in Phoenix.
Good buffet, great price.
Largest and most diverse menu I've ever had. Always fresh.
The food is always ready and hot but the only down it takes a while to replace the item is missing for a while. Other than that everything is a okay
If you like a great variety of seafood and American food come here
I visit Kim's 4 times a month and food is always hot and satisfying to the taste. Customer service is always on point
There is a wide variety of different food and all of them are delicious.
First off it was very warm inside they had a giant floor fan running I'm guessing to circulate the warm air. The majority of the food I attempted to eat was cold and oily. The"sushi"was dry and tasteless. Made an attempt to create a decent salad, poured some, what was supossed to be bleu cheese dressing on top with no surprise it was a yellowish milky substance. $55 for 3 people and we really didn't eat much. We will not be returning to this restaurant. Only gave 1 Star because I had to
I was warned not to go here by a neighbor who claimed to have seen a cockroach on the buffet line. However I made the mistake and I went anyway. It was priced reasonable. It was easy to find a seat. Most of the food was slightly undercooked. Maybe, it is so it can sit on the food line longer, but it just made it soggy. Most of the food was fairly bland and didn’t taste very good. I had no interest in going back for seconds. I would not recommend this place. Try something else
Food was amazing and my kiddos loved it. It’s now when of our favorite places to go!!!
Staff were friendly, 2 stars for that. On the other hand, the overall quality of food has definitely gone down hill. It shows it’s certainly not Chinese ran.
Not a huge buffet fan, but this place was pretty great as far as buffets go. Lots of seafood. which I love. Don't eat the salmon though, it's not descaled.
I highly recommend Lin's Grand Buffet. Great food. Great price. Great service. The server's deserve a 25% tip.
The best food I've ever had 100%recommended kids and adults "steak"
Great place and good food
It was my first time coming to Lins buffet. Not sure if it was my luck, but I was very disappointed. Food was good, just like most buffets. Nothing great, nothing special, so things just went downhill for me. There was no AC. Place was so warm it was uncomfortable to be there and eat in those conditions. I was hoping to eat my favorite food from Asian buffets, and to my surprise, no coconut shrimp, no oysters. :( First time my 2 year old gets charged at a buffet, and I get charged 10% tip at the door. I was planning to leave a higher tip, but after that I just changed my mind. I will not be coming back.
Large variety. Good food. Affordable prices.
My husband me and my kids love the place, always fresh food, alot of different things to choose from, great servise, good prize
You need all day long to taste all food they have .very good food....atmosphere is great
I was in town on business and came upon this place after making the wrong turn off the hwy I am glad I did. The staff at this place is awesome and my waitress sorry I didn't get her name was absolutely amazing. I had to leave after sitting down with my plate. I asked her to put it away and she stated I will toss it and when you return prepare a fresh plate. Long story short she was outstanding and if I am ever in the area again I will return. By the way the food was also very good.
Great buffet, great selection and good that's good
One of my favorite places to eat great variety pretty good food. Has something for everyone. Good sushi as well. Even has self serve icecream.
Monday just before 2pm, no wait. Server quick and attentive, never wanted for drinks. Everything was fresh and cooked well. The lady rolling the sushi was singing while she was working, very sweet voice! Food all tasted good, well seasoned without being overpowering. Have been here many times and it is always excellent.
Great food and clean
I go here all the time, service is pretty good. The food choice is great, nothing seems to taste bad. Highly recommend going if you ever want to fill your stomach till it aches.
Good food, plentiful choices and all well maintained. Fast service as well on a busy holiday. Lobby is very grand and beautifully decorated with an eye catching chandelier. The restaurant area was almost reminiscent of a museum! Grand feeling and eye catching!
Crazy amount of food. Great selection. Very tasty. Recommended for buffet lovers.
Fast paced lots of food selection always packed with happy customers. They have a grill to order but if your looking for shrimp its fried with baked salmon. No cocktail shrimp it's more of a chicken specialty sampler
Best Chinese buffet we have found so far in our area. Huge buffet lots of choices. The food is good. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant.
Came here around 2pm on a Monday. Food was good with wide variety to choose from. Everything was generally fresh and table service here was nice taking plates and refilling drinks. Will definitely come back.
The simplest way I could say about my experience was that it was just straight up disappointing. I remember coming here when I was younger the food was delicious and there was a variety of different food to choose from, but this time there just wasn't any goodchoices of food to get ,and this is beside the fact that my family paid $122 for just 7 people (me included). It was also very packed with kids running everywhere with no parents in sight. To sum it up there was no variety in food, the food was alright, and it was kinda expensive.
Great not a bad area really good price largest buffet in the city
The food and service are great, and the menu has something for everyone. One of the best buffets I've experienced.
Great food recommend good place
Not as good as what I expected. Plates were wet and not cleaned. I won't go there again.
The food was good. This is one of those nicer Chinese buffets with the higher quality food items and I think it was around $16 per person. I didn't have to dig through the stack of plates to find a clean one. Their Sushi bar was less than exciting and I didn't try the Mongolian stir fry but it looked decent enough. Also worth noting is enchiladas, corn, wings, and a few other American southwest style entries were available. Graffiti was noticeable in several spots and the mens bathroom floor was very sticky.
For our first time here, it was overwhelming with all of the massive selections. Most of the food was great, but a few of the options that we tried were a little on the cool side. The desert selection was awesome as well as the sushi selection. My only issue is the drink service was very slow. We always had to get the attention of the server to get a refill. They also never came by to check on how the service was. All in all though, for our first time here, it was a good experience and we will definately be coming back again.
The AC was not working properly and was really hard to enjoy a nice meal there. They need to fix that. Food was bomb tho.
I always go to this place and never have I experienced anythis so bad as what I have today. If you're bringing a kid of 10 /11 years the resteraunt will charge you for an adult. The problem isnt the money, its that they confuse kids into thinking they are adults when they're obviously not.
Food is subpar. Even their best wishes are mediocre at best.
We absolutely love this place. Huge selection of food. Prices aren’t bad either.
Hot place, suchi is plastic, options are limited. Few decent shrimp options. Super dry food .
Not bad food and the service is great.
Pretty good Buffet... Open space,nice service
Food is great, service not so much. Then again this is a buffet, I just wish I didn’t have to wait an eternity for my drinks. Also the tend to close early. So 20-30 minutes before close they will only do takeout. It doesn’t make sense but again customer service is not their forte
Didn't like their buffet. Their buffet costs $14+tax and ends at 9:30 pm. We went their around 8:30 and their buffet was not warm and not fresh either. Sushi was the only thing we liked. Their steak was too dry and hard. They employees were started cleaning the floor and tables. It was really annoying and too much unprofessional. They also started closing the buffet around 9 pm though they supposed to be opened until 9:30pm. They have enough parking space and washroom was clean. I wouldn't recommend to go their after 8 pm and you'll get better food with the same money in other buffet
Not all that food ok fatacy restaurant waiters lazy bring water next time skip place.
This place is super amazing. It's very well organized and clean. They even had a place where you can pick some type of meat and vegetables and tv bey grill it right there. Also they have sushi. Only thing was that the restrooms were really hot for some reason and since the place is big, your waiter takes a bit.
Selection is good, but I use to go there for the salt and pepper shrimp and now they changed it so it's a butterfly cut which affects the taste and texture. I won't go back after being a regular customer.
Good variety. Good value for money spent.
The food taste old and its way over priced. Sushi had been sitting out for sometime. For 72 dollars the food should have been fresher. I will not return to this place.
The manager was awesomevhebshowed around the store and was just awesome.
I
The wait time was good and the inside was beautifully decorated, but at noon all the food was either overcooked, undercooked, or cold. I felt sick after eating it.
First time eating here, good food and service.
So good the food was awsome
It is a great place to go!There is SOOO much delicious foods to choose from.And its really cold so make sure to bring a small jacket or sweater
Perfect place to eat when you want some pizza, chicken, hot wings, etc etc
We always eat in here. Our son Aiden Loves this place. Highly recommended
Some of the food tasted like the pan it was sitting in meaning it had a weird almost soapy after taste. So much too choose from and the service was great.
The food was okay but could of been better
Food was ok. But it was so hot inside. I finally asked and someone told me one of their ACs broke. Hope they can fix it soon.
Fresh food. clean bathrooms. nice waitress. reasonable prices.
All you can eat Asian buffet with a cozy, spacious ambience enough for the whole family to sit down and enjoy. Comes with decent food and decent prices.
awesome food, good service
My cousin came here to visit from Oregon and we told his family to eat here. He was charged as an adult evn though hes 11. You tell me is 11 years the legal adult age in the United States.
They have a good selection as well as good flavors. Didn't enjoy the sushi bar that much and didn't get to the bakery or grill. I love spicy food as well as seafood and found a reasonable selection. Deserts were not my favorite but there is a whole island to choose from plus the favorite icecream cones. Servers were great and prompt with refills. Would definitely go back soon. Ambiance is family oriented and decor is pleasant to the eye.
If you enjoy Chinese buffets I'm guessing Lin's Grand buffet might be the place to go. It's definitely the biggest Chinese buffet in the Phoenix area that I know of. If American Chinese buffets are your sort of jam, then this is the place for you to be. Unfortunately this type of establishment might not be for everyone. So why the three stars instead of either four or five? Well there's a few reasons but I'll try to keep it short. First of all on one of the days I was here they seem to be having an issue with one of the warming tables leaking water everywhere. I know the staff is busy it took him quite a bit of time before anyone bothered to start cleaning up the water. Probably my biggest gripe is more with me, not particularly caring for American Chinese food or buffets, then with the restaurant. But therein lies the big prong, this is American Chinese food. Almost every other Chinese buffet restaurant is going to taste the exact same as this place. There's no standout dish that drives you to come here and try the food. It's only purpose is to allow you the opportunity to gorge yourself food.
Always a great place to take family Food is fresh and tasty
Always fresh food and great atmosphere.
The food is good but the music or surrond sound is terrible, who ever is in charge of music has the morals of a goat , some of the music is vulgar, and if this place is for families I don't believe that that music is proper. Thanks. Frank
Always great fast service friendly staff and the best food
Very nice place a lot of different food
I love chinise buffet so when I got chance I go to eat there
Really good place just rude server
I thought the service and the food was excellent. Thank you!
Good variety of food & also "tasty". Nice & clean. Lunch is a good deal. But steaks are not till 4pm.
I love this place ❤️ it good food and the service is great. And the people are always so nice
Food is not what I expected
My friend and I had the pleasure of dining here recently. It wasn't busy, so we were seated quickly. There was a wonderful selection of food available and it all tasted amazing. Our waiter was prompt and checked in regularly. I definitely plan to dine here again.
Best Chinese I've had in Arizona so far! Highly recommend it
Good place to eat for a buffet!! Once in a while stuff will be cold and dishes look like they ain't washed all the way but other than that it's good
Somebody was bitting the fruits and putting it back and the deserts.... THATS JUST STRAIGHT DISGUSTING
Dirty place but good food
This is the best Buffett, fresh food, compare to the one on 40th street and baseline.
Food was great. Waitress not so good.
We went there on Monday, and it was not even remotely close to how it is on a Friday , Saturday or Sunday. The food was greasy, fish tasted mediocre etc., etc., - In short: over all it was just a sad experience . During the week , nahw !
The food and service can be a bit hit or miss. Try to avoid busy weekends.
Great food I've been coming here for years I've never been disappointed keep it up
Food is good. Fresh and hot. Great customer service!
Good food but 90% fried and greasy. Only thing that is not sweet or greasy is the salad buffet.
Variety of alot of good stuff even mongolian bbq.
Definitely one of the better buffets in town, could use a make over, but food was very good, and service was great.
They have a good selection as well as good flavors. Didn't enjoy the sushi bar that much and didn't get to the bakery or grill. I love spicy food as well as seafood and found a reasonable selection. Deserts were not my favorite but there is a whole island to choose from plus the favorite icecream cones. Servers were great and prompt with refills. Would definitely go back soon. Ambiance is family oriented and decor is pleasant to the eye.
I have been going to Lins for years now and will continue to do so. This a place that you should check out next time you are in the neighborhood and want to grab a bite to eat.
Good food, good prices and a large selection of food.
Anything you want you going to find here pretty good food
After our experience yesterday it is fair to say Lin's "used" to be good. The place is in desperate need of an upgrade. The floor/carpet is nasty and stunk, the bathroom was worse. The restuarant definitely smells like sewer!Maybe the health department needs to give a surprise visit. The food? Downright disappointing! Almost every dish was dried out, the fried foods were overcooked to a crisp way beyond golden brown. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp was very, very salty. When The staff was notified, the manager rudely said "that's how it is, you no need shrimp, you don't know how eat shrimp." My suggestion? Take your money elsewhere!
I'm a fan of Lin's, when you want to taste multiple dishes or have a hard time deciding on one dish, this is the place for you. For one low price, you have the choice of Chinese, with some American food for the kids and they Mongolian and steaks to order.
Really good food specially on sundays when they cook those steaks. I think that it is a good place because they have different types of food.
This has got to be one of the hands down best Chinese buffet I've eaten in a long while I recommended highly they have a wide variety of different options I don't eat seafood so I can't judge them there but they do have a huge option for seafood now as far as the sushi don't really eat sushi either and their Mongolian Grill sucks but the buffets really good really great value free money
Its good for what you pay for. Lots of stuff to chose from.
Great buffet, lots of choices, and fresh. Good for big groups. My only complaint is there is no Glutin-free section.
Lima used to be one of my favorite restaurants to dine. Maybe my tastebuds have changed, but the quality seemed to lack from it's former deliciousness I'm accustomed to. Sad to say, I have to add it to my list of don't patron. Hopefully it improves in the future.
Service was great. Food was delish.
Staff was attentive with assistance on drinks. Large variety including child friendly foods.
Cool aesthetic and fantastic food with wide variety of choices to meet all the tastebuds in the family❤
Very good food, Mongolian is my new favorite! Sushi bar was also very good
Great food and the service was at it's best.
If you want good food, I mean if you really want good food...this is the place!
Best one I have tasted in Very long time, I was at opening of the day. Very hot waitress!
Hit or miss. Pretty standard fair. Lunch prices are fine but for the quality dinner is a bit expensive.
Food is great. A little pricey though.
I came with a large party and I was pleasantly surprised. They have Really good food and great service. Its clean and food was fresh and hot! Definitely a place to bring family or just the homies.
eat till you cant walk lol
I have eaten here a few times over the years. Took the in-laws since they like buffet. Best service ever. Tables cleared as we finished eating. Drinks refreshed when they were low. Food was outstanding. Mongolian BBQ was great. The table service person went the extra mile.
All you can eat for $12/adult! Its definitely one of the best chinese buffets in the city. Grill and sushi options avaiable as well as the standard offerings
The food was good, bathroom not so good.
Nice atmosphere and food is very fresh
Service was good, and food somewhat decent but......All went south when we stopped eating in the middle of our meal as we noticed 3 roaches crawling on floor right outside the bathroom on their way to the dining room next to where they make the Sushi!!! We immediately stopped eating, and asked for a refund. The manager became rude at that point, and spoke to my wife like she was an idiot saying, " well we do spray I don't why or where you say they came from. When all of a sudden the cashier next to him was like, " yeah they come out when we spray!" At that point the manager went silent and refunded our money, and probably fired the cashier.... Another Valley restaurant off the list...so sad... I wouldnt make such a big deal but as an Executive Chef myself they need a better source of sanitation! Also according to my wife when she took our 4year old to use the ladies room each stall had a trash container smothered in fecal matter and toilet paper all over the rims of the baskets to top off the review, best wishes to all who venture there....
My favorite Chinese buffet! A huge assortment of dishes to choose from. Courteous staff. There is also a Mongolian BBQ and a sushi bar.
To hot in there to eat my cold food was hot my cold drink was warm . Not enough air in the place for that many people
I won’t be back. For instance, it’s Aug 1st, 2019 and it’s 105 degrees outside.... And inside Lins it’s 105 degrees... In their lobby just before you walk in or out, it’s a cool 73 degrees !
The food here for the most part was good not over cooked like most buffets. My gf did find some undercooked breaded shrimp.
It used to be good now food is barley warm shrimp tastless
It was really good will be back
As buffets go, Lin's is the best. The food tastes great and the selection is large; ribs, chicken, Chinese selections, dessert, Mongolian grill, sushi. The price is fair if you have a large appetite. For me, I was on a diet so I wish they had some type of "single plate" pricing structure. I can understand that this would be hard to implement. They have a take away box sold by the pound, but this means I cannot eat at the resturant with my friends.
I left this buffet about an hour ago today 11.20.18. My best friend and I were enjoying our food when I saw a roach on the table. I quickly got up and went to the cashier up front. I asked to speak to the manager and to get a refund. No …
The food is so so, the staff has no cheerfulness and the furniture needs to be repaired
Probably one of the best Chinese Buffets around
Lots to choose from. Good food. Went with my kids and grandaughter. Fun
Service good food was not hot hot but over all lots of different dishes
It was a little pricey for a buffet than what I'm use to but it was good. It had a little of everything and had a grill in the back. I didn't have the opportunity to try it since I got full trying everything else before I reached the back wall of food, but is thay really a bad thing? Haha.
The food is alright could be better, but the service here is great just the quality of food has gone down over the years; As I remember a few years ago the food didn't seem that it came from the fridge.
Good Food. Good service. The only thing i didn't like was how they had air movers and portable fans all over to cool off the buliding because the ac couldn't handle it alone...some of th w blowers were pointed right at the tables...so hi powerded air blowing on you and your food...not too comfortable...other than this it was ok.
$6+ per pound is alot (take out) good tasting food though
It was so hot in there n the bathroom was very hot plz fix the air conditioner ...
Terrible. Cold food. Filthy restroom. Bland taste. Never will we go back. The server was very nice.
Best Chinese buffet around. So many options!! Food was amazing. I definitely will try the Mongolian area next time I go in, I was so full by the time I realized it was there. Service was good, but I couldn't find people to ask questions at times. But that was okay! It's a little pricey but worth it!! Will be back again.
Very, very disappointed with the food here. It took an hour for them to put out a majority of the food including the beef and broccoli or orange chicken. The beef to beef and broccoli can out as one fat bonded lump of meet. They never even put out any fresh sweet and sour chicken. They didnt put out the wonton soup until after an hour and a half, the broth was a dark brown and the wontons were undercooked and tasted awful. The service was horrible, the waiter did not pick up plates or refill drinks unless called over which he was very rarely near the table. It was definitely not worth the money paid. I will never come back to this one, the one on baseline is much better!
Great variety Plenty of food Good price
Delicious, fast seating on a huge holiday... Father's Day! Service was great!!!
I'm getting hungry writing this review! Delicious! Well worth the money
Their AC is not working. It was hot and humid inside. We had to leave not good eating conditions
Same ol same ol...the yuma one is way better
Really good buffet and sushi is fresh. Mongolian grille as well. Service was great and the food was fresh and tasty. A real value for the money, wish I could have ate more!!
Our waiter and the staff were great. The food was decent. It was a nice place for the family to get together. They accommodated our 8 person party on the spot, without problem.
It was O.K. I had been here before and the food quality was better. This trip the spring rolls were soggy and the fried rice was over done. The chicken dishes were good. Service was adequate but nothing to write home about. All in all a lack luster experience.
Waitres was great. Dishes Wasn’t washed right food on it Some of the food was very salty Could be better
This is a good place to eat. It's large with plenty of seating. The buffet is huge. There's a lot to choose from and is always fresh. There's a Mongolian grill, steak grill, sushi bar, bakery section and so much good food. The price is very reasonable.
Is very nice place yummy
Nice variety for all ages and tastes
The sushi is really good, great service, and great price... Really clean.. We're definitely going back..
Great food & variety @ great prices
Price was right and the food was HOT & FRESH ! Definitely going back soon !
My son got sick after eating here and not even 5 minutes of driving he threw up three times in a church parking lot
Pretty good place to eat. For a buffet they have food and a wide variety of food that's not Chinese like pizza. If I remember correctly they also have a fresh sushi bar.
Wider selection than the average, Nicer setting.
Tried this place for the first time, and it was pretty good! I went for the lunch buffet and it was sooooo many food options. It was quite busy, but not once did the food run low, which was awesome. I definitely will be back to this location!
Always great food and good service, one of my favorite places.
It's a very beautiful establishment very Grand. The restrooms are clean. As for being accessible for the disabled the restaurant area is fine where there is plenty of room for wheelchairs and Walkers and such., however the bathroom doors are very heavy and I'm talking about the doors when you enter the restroom area there's two doors that you walk through to get into the ladies restroom area, they are extremely heavy and hard to push or pull open. I took my mom in there and my mom is disabled and she pushes a walker and every time she wanted to go to the restroom I had to escourt her because the bathroom doors are very tall and extremely heavy. So she really couldn't open the door by herself and every time she needed to use the restroom I'd have to go with her. Not that I mind. The food is slightly different whereas the flavor is not like most Chinese restaurants I have eaten at. The food seems to have a, well I would say under taste or flavor within the food and I'm talking about the salty food not the desserts. But it has a flavor as if everything fried has been fried all in the same oil or cooked all in the same pan without using a clean pan to prepare other various foods. So it all has a little Trace flavor of all the other food slightly mixed together. My husband ate enchiladas and he could still taste something different in the ingredients of the enchiladas. And so I took a sample of it and I know what he was talking about. Don't get me wrong it's a wonderful place to eat at. And the food is plentiful however, if you're really really hungry for Chinese it's a good place to go to if you're really really hungry. Ask for the deserts the peaches were not ripen so they were a little hard and this is the peaches it is in the sweetened syrup . The fruit salad was wonderful. They also have a soft serve ice cream machine there which is very nice . However they did keep on running out of the cones which is understandable considering how many people were there . They do offer a senior discount and the servers are very cordial and keep your drinks topped off. And pick up the dirty dishes as you finish finish. Plenty of disabled parking. All in all I gave it at 3 because of the bathroom doors and the under taste in the food.
Really good buffet and sushi is fresh. Mongolian grille as well. Service was great and the food was fresh and tasty. A real value for the money, wish I could have ate more!!
Dinner price for 2 w/drinks was just over $30. Great deal! Tons of variety. Quickly seated during dinner rush. American, Asian and Mexican food choices. Lots of seafood. Sushi, Mongolian grill. Salad and desert bars. Pizza, fried chicken, enchiladas, spare ribs and couple other options for those that might not want Chinese.
Not much variety but it's good food. The usual as any other buffet. Great customer service.
Lots of things to choose from and at a good price
Front desk not friendly slow on replacing drinks but food was keephot and full
Good selection of items and very fresh. One of the better buffets I've visited in the area.
So far the best buffet that we have ever been too!! The best food and the octopus was delicious!!!
Nice staff, family good buffet.... sushi wasn't really worth it but the rest really good. Also they kept out table happy and stocked with drinks.
Fresh buffet food and good service
Eh, not bad. I watched a Male manager chew out a female employee in Chinese in front of the whole restaurant. Super rude. Told him some things b4 I left... the same way he told her. I dont think he understood what I said but he got the message.
The food was so delish & flavorful and the price was reasonable. Gr8 family restaurant
Perfect restaurant to go to if you want to eat some real Chinese food, great staff, family oriented atmosphere. Very clean and cozy. We're definitely coming back.
The food and service was good, but the bathroom was insanely filthy. Other reviewers also said the same and I should have believed them. I wish I could unsee this, but can’t and I won’t be going back.
Not sure why they do not take dirty plates away when you’re done. Food was very average tasting. There’s a large selection but I really couldn’t find a single thing that I wanted to eat more than once.
Food was good. Can't truly complain not exactly what I was hoping for,for it being a Chinese food buffet. I have been to a few Lin's Buffets from AZ to Texas this one I would say is the best. Their crab ragoons were tasty. The Mongolian Grill was flavorable. The server was on top of everything clearong our plates getting drinks when needed and always asking. She made the experience for me thank you.
It had decent chinese food and sushi! Love sushi with a steak bar and Mongolian but I didnt try either. Really liked the sushi bar. Had some good pork ribs. The sweet n sour ( I think that was what it was called) ribs was too dry to eat though. Enchilandas were meh but ita a Chinese buffet so yeah. Goos chinese food. I recommend.
Everyone was great but the food could be a lil better. I tried the nuggets and crab puffs they werent to great nuggets tasted lil weird and crab puffs tasted as if they reheated them.
An abundance of food. The selections I had were delicious! I'm ready for more, yum, yum!
Early arrival is key. Good food nice clean atmosphere
Best Chinese Buffet EVER! HUGE variety to choose from! My favorites, super green fresh crisp broccoli, lightly breaded white fish, sweet red glazed ribs, sweet plantain, sweet potatoes, butterfly shrimp, baked salmon, SWEET CORN ON THE COB! YUMMY!!! Senior menu with a drink less than $15
Really good food! The sushi was amazing and the different variety of entrees exceeded my expectations.
It was O.K. I had been here before and the food quality was better. This trip the spring rolls were soggy and the fried rice was over done. The chicken dishes were good. Service was adequate but nothing to write home about. All in all a lack luster experience.
I don't get it I was starving when I went there and I couldn't even finish one plate I was full. The food was great full of flavor and so many different choices. I guess my eye are hungrier then my stomach. Look for the coupon in the mail, I think it's a little pricey
Lil pricey but good food I would definitely go again
No ac working, not much dessert options, bad service and dry sushi not worth.
Ng much variety, and food tastes very bland and unseasoned...
I thought it was pretty good. Great selection and presentation. Taste was mostly okay. Priced a tad bit high for weekends but weekday pricing seems a good value. I only went on a weekend so will try weekday to see if selection is different.
Great customer service, food is very good.
Hot as hell inside, apparently a/c still out - and it was 112 today! Soups (Hot n Sour, Wonton) disgusting - Maybe the water was bad. Most of the chicken dishes were covered in a cloyingly sweet, sticky sauce that resembled the goo that covered the creature that Sigourney Weaver gave birth to in Alien. I pressed my fork into a pork egg roll and it deflated like a South Phoenix rented tire, plus the cabbage/pork filling had a gross, sour taste.This buffet also serves enchiladas - they were all gone, though. The cream cheese in the crab/cheese puffs was rancid. I have no clue how this place has 4 stars.
Good prices, but kind of dinky. The chow mein tasted weird, and we specifically grabbed it since it was fresh so it definitely wasn't old. The wait staff wasn't friendly but that hardly matters, especially since they were really on top of refills. They're generous with the takeaway boxes too, it's 6 dollars a "pound" but they don't weigh it, they just let you walk with a styrofoam box stuffed with food.
Quick service , great variety
Great selection and servers are all polite. Food was hot and fresh with a good selection of dishes. Very busy but you never feel forgotten about and the steaks to order are great and cook perfectly.
Food is good. Clean restaurant and friendly service.
The place was beautiful
Good buffet. Lots of options. They have a Mongolian bbq, sushi bar, grill, desert bar and lots of buffet foods including enchiladas, roast beef, steak, fries, fish, chicken nuggets, bread as well as the Asian food. I like this place. Great for lunch but note it gets really busy.
Absolutely the best buffet we've ever had. Wife loves Chinese me not so much. So much variety here makes a huge difference.
A fairly typical Asian buffet with some good offerings, especially the seafood, but some other items miss the mark on quality and freshness. The decor looks nice, if a bit overstated, but they could probably benefit from an appointment with an exterminator.
I wanted to try this place when it first opened but I moved out of state. Now I am back and finally went last night. It was very good, reasonably priced and waitress for drinks was very nice and pleasant. I will definitely go back soon!
Food is excellent, place is clean and service is really good
The food and service was amazing
Love this place food always fresh customer service is allways great
4 stars for veriety, freshness and available seating. 2 stars for quality. I liked the baked fish (no idea what kind? ... no tarter sauce), savory vegetables - mostly broccoli, buckwheat noodles and the 2 salads with fruit in them. Lemonade or deserts were not great, but the kids loved the loads of cut fruit. The sushi bar looked good. There were a lot of people but the isles in the serving area are wide keeping it from feeling too congested. This is a good venue if you have a large group of big eaters.
The food was way better but it was hard to enjoy with the sweltering heat. Maybe next time they can get it right.
Great food and service!
Beautiful restaurant, well maintained, good food that is nice and hot unlike most buffets.
Lot's to choose from. Good food nice staff
When paying for dinner we asked to split the cost of the check. We had a party of seven and quite chatty. The next day I looked at my Online bank details and noticed that I was charged for the entire check $122.16. and my sons bank account was charged for half of the split bill also. I tried to call the restaurant and dtsti no answer.
Myself personally I go for the pork ribs their tender moist and I like mine with some fat on them lol, The only problem with Lin's food is that it's almost cold if they would just heat the temperature up so you could eat your meal hot but it's already warm so when you get to the table you're eating basically cold food and that's OK if you like salad but not when you wanna hot meal
They do not even deserve a star. The entrance is very cold so as soon as you walk in, the very rude girl demands money & insults your party. After paying, you walk into an 82 degree mess where you find more rude employees. We tried many dishes & deserts, most ended up in napkins because it's not edible. I'm embarrassed that I took my mom here for her birthday, it looked like a nice place. Wish someone could have warned me. The food is horrible, the atmosphere is worse & the employees should be ashamed of themselves.
Our service was great! Burned my hand on the steam, but I'll survive! Had a great Pre Father's Day dinner
Great food and even greater customer service
Good selection we were there late food wasnt as fresh as normal good service
Weekend is always packed but Monday through Friday is pretty good, No waiting. Delicious food and friendly waiters.
The service was terrible, the waitress seemed to forget we were there. We had to get up and get the water pitcher ourselves to refill our water glass, she was not very friendly and customer service didn't appear to be at the top of her list. The food was ok.
The food was not good today! It ALL tastes as if it had been sitting there for a while. The corn was dry, the orange chicken was stiff and the sauce was hard. They are down grading with the food.
Good variety, they keep fresh food coming out and, you can even get a steak cooked to order.
Love this place lots of variaty of food, good service and the employees are nice...kudos!
I came here awhile back. I was surprised that this restaurant has another location in this area. This place does have great selection of items to choose from. Establishment is clean, employees are nice and professional, and food is tasty. I don’t live in this area anymore but I’m craving Chinese food and I’m in the area, I stop by.
Worst Chinese Buffet we have ever had. The food was bland and unappealing. Little to no air conditioning and the restrooms were utterly disgusting. I dont think this place will pass a food inspection.
Food was good but it was HOT inside. Either the A/C was not working properly or the owner was trying to save electricity. A/C hardly turned on.
It was a great place. Good was fresh and flavorful. I was visiting Phoenix and decided to go there. My brother is a vegetarian and he was hesitant to go there but once he was there, he agreed it was very good, even for a vegetarian. Lots of choices.
The food tasted very good. It was pretty busy at dinner time so the food was always hot. The Mongolian grill was great!
The food is always really good. The buffet is fully stocked and regularly maintained. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Considering how many people go here, it's amazing the staff keeps up on the cleaning including floors and tables. We've been there many times, but the last time we went, their air conditioner was broken. They'd brought in coolers and tons of fans. It's summer in Phoenix, so it was a little warm with just coolers, but still a great experience and the staff was just as friendly as always even though they were working in a warmer environment than they were used to.
This place is ok. I find the food fairly generic and bland. And they don't switch out the trays often enough so it comes out a little stale. The ingredients don't taste the freshest either. It's a good place to go for simple Chinese food for a crowd but It could stand to improve. The waitstaff are very polite and prompt though. The clean up quickly and thoroughly.
Very clean. Always good hot food from steaming tables. I love to see the steam tables smoking. That means hot food. The food is more than delicious ,and such a great variety. The staff is friendly and helpful. They constantly clean the food area. Nice invironment. And the Sushi bar is amazing. There is also a Grill. Try to go as often as possible. Twice a month at least. Love it
Coming to Lin's Grand Buffet is ALWAYS great! They have such an awesome variety of food choices, the staff is always nice and helpful. It's great to go after Sunday services. There is usually a line to get in, it moves fairly quickly. I recommend you visit and enjoy their wide selection of authentic to local cuisine.
This place was really interesting! They had tons of different Chinese food options that are traditional, as well as a few different things such as enchiladas, hot wings, and a pretty decent solid bar!. Well all of the food I had was pretty good, the only thing I was disappointed with was the hot and sour soup. Seem like it's been sitting there too long and had it overpowering flavor that was strange. Overall the experience was excellent, and the food was fresh. The service was great.
There is a reason this joint is always jumping!! We passed by this place the other day & it looked busy. My food antennae popped up... busy generally is good. When we passed by at a more "dinner" time of day & it was even more packed? Well, Lin's, "you had my curiosity- now you have my attention!" This place is HUGE. They have ample parking, a large waiting area, and 2 friendly people taking money & getting people seated off to the side. The dining room is massive, with a good combination of booths and tables with chairs. Some of the booths are a tad tight though- ours was close to a wall & needed about 3 inches shaved off the table for is to get in & out more easily. The food was SO MUCH BETTER than most buffets! Very wide variety of items- my favorite was the salmon. But, out of everything I tried, which was about 20 items, I really was only blah on one. For me that's like a record. I think I probably could have tried a little of everything and still been thrilled. If only I'd had more room in my tummy! Only caution I'd give is if you can't have salt? Don't come here. But that's pretty much every buffet ever!! A word about the staff- this has got to be some of the hardest working bunch of folks I've seen in a while! To a person, no one stopped moving while I was there. There was no fooling around, these folks were flat GETTING IT 100% of the time. Very impressive!
Overall the food was okay, the staff had great attitude and served with a smile. For the cost of a whole buffet it's well worth it. The reason I'm giving Lins a four star and not a five is due to one item on the menu not meeting my standards, but that's just my personal opinion. Bon Appetite
Very bland and basic. Greasy food, kitchen staff sound like they have a night club going on in the back. Not worth the price.
Wide variety of selections to choose from. A very nice environment. Every thing I have tasted or eaten has been Delicious !!. Lin's has never disappointed me. Always a pleasure to eat at Lin's the service is Great !!
Food was great but it was super hot
Price was good, the food was ok, but the restrooms could really use some more attention.
This is my husbands favorite place to eat. I really don’t like buffet, but will eat here. Hot food keep coming, so it’s fresh.
Worth a stop if you like buffet dining. Large variety and the mongolian bbq was on point. Theres even steak and ribs if youre not huge on asian cuisine. I would have liked a little more variety in the sushi. But when appealing to the masses I understand that anything more wild than a cali roll of tuna roll might not be popular. Price was what I expect for the type of dining. $30 for 2 adults with drinks. Plus a tip for the waiter. Will be hitting up again next time Im in that part of town.
Had a wonderful lunch, both my niece and I enjoyed it. I've been there several/many times never had a bad experience always very good. (Keep up the good work!)
Excellent, i was very impressed. I am a chef and the food was seasoned just right. Highly recommended
food is awesome. A bit pricey for a family more than 3. we have 6 and is about $75. The staff is polite and frequents the table. They keep it clean. The sushi is good. Usually no raw stuff. They have a grill that you can add your own ingredients and they will cook it. On your way out grab as many fortune cookies as you like. Only 4 stars because of the cost.
It's been good everytime we go
We usually enjoy coming but today the AC was not working and I was not advised of the issue at the time of purchase. It was so hot that my son's ice cream did not make from the serving area to our table. After reading some of the reviews, it sounds like Lin's Buffet needs to invest on a new AC unit as it seem that it has been hot for a while. I was very disappointed today!
Overall the food was good but the sushi bar needs a better variety the cost was reasonable
If you have to go to a buffet, you better go to Lin's. It's really quite good and fresh.
It was pretty good for your standard Chinese American buffet. Decent price and food was on average ok to good. Nothing super remarkable. My only disappointment was that they didn't make an effort to grab up empty plates during the meal, so the table got crowded.
Not bad service could be a lot better great selection and variety of food. Price fair kind of high fir young kids under 13.
Polite people amazing food
Okay this was a cool place for a family gathering we enjoyed ourselves I didn't see too many good desserts for though but I guess that's a good thing when you were supposed to been on a diet anyway LOL
Great quality
Nothing stood out as being special. Everything very average, and for the price, I expected more. While in the middle of the meal, I got up for a new plate and when I got back, no more than 2 minutes later, they had already cleaned my table and sat new people! Wow. I asked the waitress to at least get me a new knife and fork and she said I'd have to go get it myself! What??
They always have great service the only thing they should change is bringing the check to you so that way you can pay with a debit tip because I never carry cash on me
The dining experience wasn't bad, but the bathroom floors were sticky with each step and there were no baby changing stations
The majority of the food was really good, and nothing I ate was bad. While the Mexican music playing in the Mongolian grill messed with the atmosphere, it can be chalked down to personal preference. However, the steak was not a good experience, because when I asked for a medium rare piece, I was given a well done piece of skirt steak. Overall still good though. Also, the waiter we had was really nice and attentive. Too bad I cant remember his name.
Average quality, relatively cheap. Visited with my brother because we wanted some Chinese food and was not impressed. Food was still edible and not the worst Chinese in the world, but I would honestly rather eat at Panda which is not even close what I would call Chinese food, but at least it has more flavor.
Great Chinese food big selection the ribs are my husband favorites
Please Please don't go on the weekends! You pay around 13 for chicken and little seafood. If you like chicken and beff by no means, go there. Did I get my money worth of food? No...
Food was terrible, plain, high in fat. The A/C was not working. Never got a refill nor straw. Wont be coming back. Don't see how people could give this 5 stars.
Lin's is always crowded. But it is well worth the wait. The food selection is always delicious and so much to pick from. The hibachi grill is my personal favorite.
Wow! This is one of the biggest buffets I've ever seen. There's a huge variety of food here. Even their vegetables taste amazing, i.e. their stir fry broccoli. My only gripes: Last time, I came here though, it appears they added a little too much salt tot their food. Also, the servers don't really check on your water as often as they should, so if you need a refill (after getting thirsty from all the eating), be sure to wave them over or call them out or you might keep getting passed over. On the whole, it was a great dining experience. Since it is popular, just know that you might run into some lines on a Friday or weekend night. I myself will definitely be back soon.
Such a nice atmosphere and great food options
As far as Chinese buffets go, this is one of my favorite places for a HUGE variety of different dishes and priced appropriately.
Not as good as the east valley location when it comes to the food but the service is far better! Did not have to wait for a table, or drinks or refill service either despite peak supper time. Staff was friendly and gave prompt service.
Very good personal, and the food
Very clean. Always good hot food from steaming tables. I love to see the steam tables smoking. That means hot food. The food is more than delicious ,and such a great variety. The staff is friendly and helpful. They constantly clean the food area. Nice invironment. And the Sushi bar is amazing. There is also a Grill. Try to go as often as possible. Twice a month at least. Love it
Swift seating. Fair prices. Good choice of all you can eat food items.
The food was old and cold the manager refunded our money. On top of that this was my daughters 12th birthday and she ended up sick and is now staying home from school for the few things she did eat..
Coming to Lin's Grand Buffet is ALWAYS great! They have such an awesome variety of food choices, the staff is always nice and helpful. It's great to go after Sunday services.

Clean and food is fresh. The variety is great, down to the veggies. Love the whole cooked mushrooms.
Some days are better than others. Weekends are usually very busy and it takes awhile to refill the empty items on the buffet. Go during the week, its better.
There nice and food tatses good but my snd my friends got sick. There was also lots of trash and diapers outside.
Always fresh options for great food.
So buffets really freak me out and I don't trust them and I frantically read reviews when I ended up here and saw some crazy stuff! So I felt like I had to post that the food was steaming hot (and the cold stuff cold), we were here until 915PM and they still had all the food out and available, I thought it was super affordable and the bathroom was clean! So not everything you read is true. But also, tbh, I only ate jalapeño poppers, veggies and baked potatoes.
The food was disgusting so is the dining room dirty stained carpets with rips and tears everywhere dirty dishes and tables. I like trying a bit of everything at buffets to my horror it was so bad every bite was worse than the last most horrible buffet.
Love love this place the food an employees are very nice an bring your drink before your finished with the first one
Environmentally friendly. Good selection. Nice service
Even though it had a 4 star rating I still had low expectations. Much to my surprise very delicious. Really enjoyed the sushi. Had a little sample of everything. Really enjoyed it. Next time go easy on the sodium with your foods that have sauces . The price is perfect. Will return
Clean, friendly, great selection....
Their buffet is great. I wish they had tags on their sushi bar. Overall Amazing A+
Great food great prices
Food was very good. Staff was friendly. Fast service even though they were busy.
Pretty standard Chinese buffet. Good food and lots of it.
Best time to eat there is as soon as it opens.
Best chinese buffet i have been to and i was in the company of a very nice lady.
Definatrly an above average experience for a buffet. Had a great varriety of things to choose from. They even have s fee types of sushi rolls included in the buffet also. Very happy with what i got for my money.
fresh food awesome atmosphere
Any other day the food is great. Today it wasn't good at all and not good selection
The chicken and broccoli is good. I also like the fried dumplings. The jalapenos with cream cheese were very spicy. My favorite dessert was the donuts. The salt and pepper potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste.
Selection of food is great even though some of the items are little bit salty like fried fish,shrimp,hope they don’t put lots of salt food losses it’s goodness when all you taste is salty
Love it here. Deserts are so good!
Food was good. Sushi selection was a bit low. Nothing special, so a little high priced for what you get. Otherwise pretty good
For less than $30 for two people it was a pretty good price for this place . The buffet was good. The layout and atmosphere of the building was upscale. Plenty of parking and seating in the inside. It had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling a grill area ,salad bar ,dessert table ,Chinese food, pizza , sushi bar , and refills on drinks. The floors were clean the grill area was not being used at the time but I can tell that they keep it clean by the smell of the cleaner.
Great food but the ranch sucks here they need hidden valley for sure
Consistently good food, the dessert menu leaves something to be desired. Overall really nice buffet.
Good food. Good customer service

Brócoli beef was sour everything else was good especially vanilla ice cream
Hot, fresh food. They have everything from steak, seafood, soups, to sushi, as well as a variety of desserts. Seating is a bit tight, as tables are close together.
Great food & service!!
For $15 all you can eat buffet I can't really complain. Okay variety of food options. Sushi bar, Mongolian stir fry bar, and of course the buffet. Seemed like half of the buffet was some sort of fried food.
Pretty good buffet. Food was yummy and service was good. Only concerning thing about my visit was watching staff move tables and looking for some sort of critter for 20-30 minutes. I have no idea if it was a spider or what, but I'm sure it was something I wouldn't want to meet in a restaurant.
The food was absolutely fabulous and beyond compare. This is not typical buffet food here! Everything that I ate was fabulous. They have a grill with steak and beef ribs that were tremendous. There is a Mongolian grill as well for designing your own custom dishes!
Love this place. Great selection of food and always steaming hot and fresh.
Love this place! Food selection is great and the food is delicious. I go there once a month and never had a bad experience.
Visited twice the service was pretty good and the food was great.
The food was great, I really loved pretty much everything I put on my plate. The crab puffs were a little bland and some of the sushi was as well, but the other food items made up for it. Waiter was a little slow to clear plates, I came alone and had 3 plates stacked up before they were cleared. A little over expensive but worth the price. I will be coming back
Kind of expensive for dinner but worth it at the same time clean and very friendly
The location off Baseline is better by a landslide. I got through my 1st plate of food before they even took my drink order and I was in the restaurant for 40 minutes and not once was the soup I wanted restocked. The quality of food wasn't terrible, but definitely not as good as the Baseline location. I will likely not return to this location again.
Great place if you are very hungry and/or you have a big family. The food was good. Great staff. And very friendly waitress.
