Just ordered take-out for the first time after living in Greenbrier for 8 years. Excellent service, impeccable preparation time, and tastes absolutely delicious. Oversized portion sizes to boot. 5 stars, will definitely return soon. Simply amazing.

Gia Marie

I very highly reccomend this place! The food is very good and the portions are huge! Plenty of leftovers went home with me tonight. I love that with the entrees you get endless white rice refills, it really makes the meals go farther. The servers were very nice and helpful, amd made me feel very welcome. I only wish that they had dessert options but other than that it was a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely be coming back again!

Michael Blackshire

The food is amazing. They are so friendly. It is a little pricy. They change $7 to substitute fried rice. Atmosphere is very nice.

hiley carpenter

Great food and great service! I didn't catch our servers name but he was fantastic. Will be back portion sizes are large. We ordered 4 entrees and passed them around the table and fed 5 people and had left overs. Amazing place to eat!

Julia Alfonso

Food and service is always great!!!

Robert Winstead

Friendly people and outstanding food . Priced reasonable

Dylan Mitchell

Wonderful people, authentic Taiwanese flavors and food (IF you order from the secret, traditional menu, which you definitely should). Have been here many times over the years, and will continue visiting this place as long as it remains open.

Jeffrey Williamson

Just like China Town in Chicago! Excellent food, excellent service at a great price. Try their home-made sauces!

John Reedy

Service is a little slow, but to the food is very, very good....

Dakota Rorick

Anthony, the waiter, definitely goes above and beyond by providing the best customer service. They also give a pretty generous amount of (great) food for what you pay. Our new favorite place for sure

joseph fong

Who knew that you could get authentic Chinese food in central Arkansas.... Well you can. Awesome place. Period

Sam Ivy

Absolutely wonderful people! Awesome food with service second to none! The food is awesome because they truly care about their product and service! They often follow up with a call or text to make sure we were satisfied. Thank you Anthony! Tell your parents hi and thanks for wonderful food!

Great food and service! Very authentic.

Justin Young

Loved everything about this place, the food, the people, the environment, it may not be southern food, but this place is the epitome of southern hospitality.

Timber Moneagle

Man, this is the best food. Sooo much food for not a lot of money. It all tastes homemade, which I'm sure it is, unlike other restaurants like this. Atmosphere is really calm, and although the music is really old it is cozy.

Seth

It may not look like much on the outside, but inside are some very friendly people serving some very good food!

Joe Fredericks

The best food and service

Katt Fryer

After visiting Greenbrier for two weeks, my fiance and I decided to eat at Chef Lin's restaurant. We ordered from the secret menu and was glad that we did. This was the best Chinese food we have ever had and the service was outstanding! The servings were plentiful and the prices were reasonable. Before we leave Arkansas we will definitely be returning for another delicious experience.

Donna Newton

Great food...the dumplings were very good!!! Gracious owners!!

Fred Stayrook

Great discovery! Moderate prices, generous portions of very delightful food. Pleasant service in a comfortable atmosphere. Will revisit!!

Jason P

Amazing food. Wonderful service. This place excels at every food I have eaten there. In addition they are incredibly accommodating and very family friendly.

Heather Guerrieri

I absolutely love their food every time. Patience is key. It is the best Chinese food I've EVER had and I've had it quote a few times since living near by. I have never been disappointed!

Dustin Wilson

Amazing service and food at a great price.

Phillip Warren

Delicious Chinese food, satisfying portions and satisfying. You must try they're egg drop soup it's the best ! Nice place to have a quiet lunch or dinner .

Tasha DeShazo

This place has fantastic service and delicious food. It is a very relaxing environment, everything is fresh, and the portions are very generous. Dine in wasn't busy at all so my family had the whole place to ourselves. If you haven't gone in to eat, you should. If you don't want to dine in, order carryout and pick it up in the drive through. If your order crab rangoon, ABSOLUTELY eat the pink sauce he gives you. They make it fresh in house and it is awesome.

L Wood

Very friendly establishment with great tasting food and average pricing. Had pork lo mien, Beef with mixed veggies, chicken fried rice, and general tso chicken. All food was delicious.

Amy Meurer

One of my favorite restaurants PERIOD!! The food is always delicious & the service is incredibly friendly!!!! I have never tried anything I don’t like!! The family remembers their customers very well. They know our favorite dishes & even the booth we like the best!!

amanda condry

Great food and the staff is super friendly! Their house lo mein calls to me like a noodley siren. It is absolutely amazing. Free rice refills when you dine in, generous portions, everything that I've tried there has been really good.

Emma Sikes

The staff was amazing and the food was great! Been to a lot of Chinese restaurants and this one is one of the top ones on my list. Highly recommend to eat at!

Good food, good service and good prices. Orange chicken has a sauce worth a trip to eat. Chicken soup with sizzling rice is different and awesome.

Cari Sikes

Excellent service and food! Great prices and plenty of food. This was our first time, we will be going back.

Larry Lyons

This it's the best Chinese food that the wife and I, have eaten in Arkansas! Nice little place, clean, with huge portions. We split an entree and a single order of fried rice and it was more than enough for two. We will be back, I just wish they would move to Heber Springs.........

Caleb DeCoux

Their house udon is the best I've had!!

Gilbert Navarro

Service was slow but the food was excellent. Recommended by some friends and the food did not disappoint. Delicious!

Austin Clagett

This place is absolutely fantastic. Such sweet and nice people. And not to mention the food is great! Really glad we have this in our small town. For sure the best Chinese place in the county.

Stephanie Krehl

Cleanliness: 5 stars Food: 5 stars Price: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars We really enjoyed our dinner at Chef Lin's. The food was made to order and was high quality with fresh ingredients. The Egg Drop and Hot and Sour Soups were outstanding. My request to prepare my beef meal with additional types of Asian vegetables was received most graciously and the result was dynamite! My wife likes fried rice, but we saw that it did not come with the meal though it can be added for an additional charge or ordered as an entree. She decided to order the entree and make that her meal, and wow!, was she glad she did because it was amazing!! Based on the size of that serving, they must be making it from scratch as it is ordered. It was a mountain of fried rice stuffed with eggs, shrimp, and vegetables, seasoned to perfection - easily enough for three people! It was probably the best fried rice she's ever had! To top it off, they make their own spicy mustard and I loved it, so much so, that on our way back through, we plan to stop and buy some to take home with us. None of that would necessarily have prompted us to write about on its own since we don't generally take the time to write reviews just for good food, but the service was so exceptional that it really should be recognized. When we say service, we never had to ask for anything. I started out with two napkins and put one in my lap. At some point during the meal, I used the extra one to wipe up some of the mustard I'd spilled and a few minutes later, I looked over and he had come and gone without me noticing as my wife and I talked, picked up our appetizer plates and the used napkin, and replaced it with a new napkin. (It may seem a small thing, but the napkins weren't thin, cheap napkins, but high quality, thick, dinner napkins and I really appreciate the fact that I never had to interrupt our meal and conversation to catch someone's attention to ask for something I should have already had - like you do at so many restaurants.) He never allowed our teacups or water glasses to become empty, cleared everything away as we finished with it, and did not lay the check on the table until we said we were finished (as some restaurants do which always makes me feel like they're ready for me to leave). I am particular about how I like things, and instead of acting as if my requests were a burden, they attentively sought out exactly what I wanted, demonstrating that customer service was their sole purpose. One final request we had was a paper cup to put some water in for our dog, but in line with surpassing all expectations, he brought out a to-go soup container already filled and sealed with a lid, and asked if we would also like some tea or a drink to go. We highly recommend Chef Lin's for anyone who appreciates quality and service at a reasonable price!

Kari Byrd

This is the first time my Husband and I have eaten here and we really enjoyed the food! It was great!!! The portions are huge but if you want more rice then you have to pay almost 3$ for another plate of just rice but the restaurant was clean, the music reminded us of our younger days and the woman waiting on us was very sweet and prompt. Overall a very good place to eat in Greenbrier.

JD Edwards

If you want to be treated like family and have an absolutely amazing dining experience this is the place to dine !!! You'll not find better food or better people !!!! My favorite place to eat !

Matthew Grider

The food is wonderful here with generous portion sizes. The prices are very reasonable. Service here is incredible as well whether you dine in or so take out. I would highly recommend eating here.

Stacy

I have only ordered to go from this restaurant, but their service is exemplary. They are so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you're pleased and comfortable. I was offered complementary drinks for myself and my son while we waited for our order. Then, because one egg roll was shorter than the other, they gave me 3 instead of two, no extra charge. Very sweet people.

Gary Sui

Some very good authentic Chinese food are served here.

Deb Probst

Good food. Decent price.

Strob Light

Excellent staff. Very kind and polite. Treated great when i went to dine there. Other customers were very entitled and rude however the server handled it very respectfully. Honestly i wouldnt have handled it different maybe with a slap upside their head. But the server did an awesome job of diffusing the rudeness and still being a great server. I have been to tons of chinese cuisine places and i can honestly say they have the best house fried rice hands down that i have every ate. Taste was great. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. A very nice place to eat if you are looking for a nice place in the area. I have read that some said their prices are high. I did not see that they were reasonable, especially considering the great tasting food.

Calli Sullinger

Friendly staff and great food!!!

Darrell Taylor

Excellent food! We always have a great dining experience here.

Michele Johnson

Debbie Hermansen

I stop here on my way home to Fox Arkansas from work (Little Rock) and would highly recommend this to EVERYONE. The remaining 50 mile drive to home and the food is still hot when I get there. Food is fresh and delicious. Family run and most awesome!

Index Insanity

Before I moved away from here, i would eat here almost every Saturday for lunch and omg it is the greatest Chinese food i have ever had!

James Toller

Great food and great people eat there all the time

Shela Sturgeon

Service was really bad. After taking our order and bring it out she never returned to check to see if we needed anything. We had to ask for our check. And then had to find someone to check us out. The food tasted like it came from the frozen food section at the grocery store. Now I know why there was only one other table occupied on a Friday night.

Cowboy Cook

Great food good people great music!

Randy

Amazing tofu and vegetables! Very friendly service!

Fawn Wathen

Not the best Chinese food

James Winkler

Food has always been very good here. Sometimes it takes a bit to get it but it's worth the wait.

Jonathan Kwee

Out of all the Chinese restaurants I have visited in Arkansas, Chef Lin provides the most authentic Chinese food. The portions are generous and the staff are kind and sweet!

Barbara

Beautiful dining room, excellent service & “happy plates” from 3 of the 4 in our party (there was just too much rice for her to finish!) Will absolutely go back

Terecy Fowler

We were in the mood for Chinese food and wanted to try a new place. Started reading the reviews and thought THIS is the place we needed to go. They did not disappoint, y'all. By far the best Chinese food we've had out of Conway and Russellville, by far the BEST in all of Arkansas. They were very welcoming, nice, generous, amazing people. Very accommodating, and Very professional. Tony is such a wonderful man and I want to Thank him for being so helpful and amazing to us. Clean Restaurant, and AMAZING FOOD! The Red Thai Curry was Phenomenal! The spices were perfect, I could eat it everyday! The Honey Garlic Chicken was mouth watering and the perfect mixture of honey and garlic. The Sweet and Sour sauce is homemade and DELICIOUS! make sure you try it! The Fried Rice, y'all, is PERFECT, seriously. I try fried rice where ever I can and this beats them all. Thank you again Tony and Sophie for making our experience so wonderful, We will be back!

michael smith

Hidden gem!! Great prices and huge portions! Good service as well

Helen Gregory

Just came from a friend's birthday dinner at Chef Lin's and had a terrific meal and wonderful time. Would highly recommend this little place as it is well worth the short drive to get there. Great food and good service. I'll be going back very soon!

Michelle Kennedy

This is honestly some of the most homely experiences concerning Asian food for me. It's run by two of the sweetest people. Any problems we had they were happy to fix and even the wait isn't that big of a deal when the food is so good. I loved the old music and it was a great atmosphere for me and my friend to spend time together. It's one of my top picks now. I wish I was closer than I am so I can come more.

ashley hall

Absolutely amazing service! They were very accommodating to my picky 8 yo. Their food is very fresh and delicious! Will be back very soon!

Mel

We finally stopped for dinner after 8 years and loved it. The soups, eggrolls, moo shu and sweet sour chicken were so tasty. We will go back again and again.

William Martinez

Service and food is decent but for the price it's not worth it. Better off going tonan excellent steak house

Paula Stapleton

The food is cooked fresh for you and their sauce must be homemade. Its all amazing. My favorite is the orange chicken. I recommend it to everyone. It isn't your normal orange chicken. It has an amazing brown sauce with charred orange peel that is an amazing addition with the sweet and spicy flavor. It's the best Asian food I've ever eaten.

Nick Palangio

Great Food. Large portions. Definitely worth a stop.

Candy Farnsworth

Food always great. Friendly, welcoming, family atmosphere. Love it!

Kate Pollard

Excellent food, especially the hot and sour soup. Super friendly service

Jessie Fu

Love the authentic Chinese food. It’s my third time visit in a week. So good. Ask for the secret Chinese menu if you are really craving for Chinese food. It is the best Chinese restaurant in the area in my opinion.

Jessica Bell Tucker

Not just another American Chinese frozen dumpling buffet, excellent and reasonably priced regional favorites and house specialities, an authentic flare and made from scratch taste, great personable professional service and a nice quiet atmosphere.

Glenda Hoyt

Good food, very polite staff.

B G

Best Chinese Food in Arkansas, don't look for a warmed over buffet, they cook everything FRESH! They even grow their own veggies, look at the garden in the front and the one in the back, Chef Lins is the last name in Chinese food, try their Tai menu as well!

Douglas Max Young II

This is easily the best Asian food in Faulkner county. The service here is the friendliest and they always have great portions. I love the family that owns this place. Just an update after a year of posting...still amazing.

Brian Litton

Visiting Fairfield Bay from California and since my wife is Asian we looked for the closest place with authentic food, which happened to be Chef Lin’s Chinese Restaurant. The family is super friendly and the food was very tasty with large portions. I had pork with vegetables, my wife had the beef hunan, my mother in law had the shrimp hunan. Additionally we purchased pork intestines with vegetables and fried rice to take back to our room so we don’t have to drive back tomorrow. In addition to the excellent food, the service was very fast and someone even stopped by the table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Definitely worth the 50 minute drive each way, we will go back again later this week.

Nenette Schell

Really delicious food. Plenty of menu to choose from. I had Hunan shrimp. My husband had Moo goo gai chicken. Our son had a Tangy spicy chicken. Service was really good. We enjoyed our food.Nice people.

Jenni Crouch

Great food, great service. Will be back!
