Lin Heung Restaurant

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for years and have always really enjoyed it. However our most recent visit has left us dissatisfied and disgusted. After we ordered our food we noticed one of the workers take a leftover bowl of rice that a previous table left behind and put it BACK into the rice cooker. Secondly we found a bug in our chow mein. While they replaced the chow mein, we found these two strokes unacceptable and will not be returning.

The spring roll was pretty good, a little greasy, but then it’s rare not to have a deep fried roll swimming in fat. This one was crispy at least and filled with a mixture of bamboo shoots and mushrooms and carrots.
The main course was one big plate, with a half dozen pork balls, a ladle of the beef and broccoli and a veritable mountain of chop-​suey in the middle.
The beef was tender, not chewy and well cooked in the dark, soy-​based sauced, with bright green florets giving a nice crunch. The balls were covered in that sweet orange sauce that reminds me of British Chinese fast food. Not very authentic, but in my mind it says ‘Chinese’ food (as opposed to Cantonese, Szechuan, etc). The pork balls were crispy, with a good chunk of tender meat. I would have eaten ore of this too.
Full review:

Good, basic Chinese food. This location is much cleaner than the one they had in Chinatown. I had their wor wonton last time. The broth was simple and the dumplings were flavourful. I will be back.

Can’t comment on the food as we sat for close to a hour and watched all the people that came in after us get their food. Never did get our’s. We finally left.

If you like real Chinese food then don’t bother coming here. The food is bad, very bland. It is no way near authentic, the kitchen is dirty as hell. My friend found a fly in the fried rice. I’ve given this place many chances and only disappointment was available. Sure the people there is friendly and warm hearted, but the quality of food is not what Victoria deserves.

I have enjoyed every single meal here! I reccomend the wonton noodle soup with beef flank, I have been getting it since I was a kid! The meals for four are great too if you go with a group, and they consist of enough food for 8 people. The service is always friendly and helpful. They also are a great place for families and kids. Definitely reccomend it!

This place is great the food is fantastic, service is kind of lame considering the waiters don’t speak perfect English but then again it is a Chinese restaurant and that being said probably the best one victoria has to offer. I had the curry beef hot pot, schechuan fried rice, and deep fried spicy squid. The hot pot and rice were great the squid wasn’t too bad either although a little too salty for taste. All in all I really recommend this place, oh yea the price is right too!

This place is pretty authentic. I love their soup, especially the shrimp wonton noodle with BBQ pork, it’s delicious!
