Just ordered Mongolian Beef and they called me back to say they were out of green onions. Why would you offer Mongolian when you do not have green onions. There are two large grocery stores within a half a mile of the restaurant so I am not sure why they did not go and get more. Needless to say I canceled the order and will not order again because of the poor customer service. Very disappointed because it is in the neighborhood and I was looking for a good Chinese restaurant

The food was over an hour late. They didn’t bother to communicate with us in any way to let us know it was going my to be late.
They were supposed to deliver the food to our room at the hotel– they didn’t even come inside the lobby.
The food tasted decent enough by the quality was not worth the awful customer service.

Steamed pot stickers were very good. Shrimp dumplings were surprisingly good. Chicken Lo Mein was ok. Delivery was on time.

Simply not that good. Sub par. I’ve ordered several times and the food is just meh. Unfortunately, there is really nothing good around the area anymore.

Super good General Tso, crab Rangoon. Both were crust and fresh. General has nice big tender meat. Large Rangoon. Fast delivery to my room at the Hampton Inn. Friendly delivery woman. Used Eat24app for delivery, fantastic!

I just tried this place based on recommendations and I will never go back. This was the worst chinese food I have ever eaten… We ordered the Orange Chicken and Beef and Broccoli along with vegetable fried rice and a few appetizers. The Orange Chicken had no flavor and was mushy and tasteless. The food in general was such a major disappointment that we threw it out… I have never done this in my life with any food…

I normally order Chicken Fried Rice and Lo mein whenever I’m in a new city and I’m unsure about the chinese food from the restuarant I order from. So I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice, the Combination Lo Mein, Hot and sour soup, String bean Szechuan style, and the Triple Delight. This was food for the entire weekend. The food turned out to be really good. The price was great, all the dishes were inexpensive and the portions were huge. The food lasted for 3 days in the hotel refrigerator. I had a microwave in my room, so it tasted good even the next day. The delivery guy was fast and he was really nice and friendly.

Consistently excellent. Perfectly sized portions and a great price. Staff is always super friendly, too. To be honest, everything tastes much better when dining in, but delivery is just so convenient. Whichever way, you can’t go wrong by choosing Lin’s.

Very nice staff. Have enjoyed quite a few lunches here. They have good lunch specials that included a fab won ton soup we always love. My co-​worker enjoys the beef and broccoli. I’ve tried almost ½ of the menu and have enjoyed most. Especially General Tso’s Chicken. I will never attempt to try their potstickers again. They were bad. Very thick and doughy. The egg rolls are good!

Placed a delivery order. Was told it would be about an hour. After an hour + 15 I called, and was told the driver was «5 minutes away»…long story short, after 2 hours I called to cancel and the rude, girl who answered the phone starts to argue with me! «I can’t control how long the driver takes!» she snaps at me. Really? I was less than 3 miles away, even if the delivery person was coming via a bicycle it wouldn’t take 2 hours! No apology, no customer service and it was probably a blessing in disguise because appears the food is terrible!

Is this the most amazing Chinese food I’ve ever had? No, to be honest. But for the price (crazy cheap), portion size (huge), delivery speed (30 minutes during the dinner rush, all the way up to the 7th floor of my hotel room), this place really can’t be beat. If you want decent delivery Chinese, fast and on a budget, you can’t do better than this. The delivery guy was super nice too!

VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Was expecting delicious food — what we got — well to me it tasted as if it were made in the microwave — and perhaps it was as it arrived at the table within minutes of ordering.
Portions were rather small — and everything was very over sauced — probably to cover the lack of chicken & beef in dishes.
From the reviews I read I was expecting WOW — but instead I was more like WHOAH —
I think some folks don’t get out much if they consider this top notch Chinese food.

Nice little restaurant in Norridge of authentic Chinese food. They have plenty of cooks and waiters and this place is popular with both Chinese and non-​Chnese in the area. The portions were more than enough and they get the food out quick and correct. The shrimp dishes were great and well serving

The food is okay. Nothing special, just an average. The only great thing is their portion. The portion is huge, and one dish is enough for two people. That includes the lunch menu.

Food was delivered hot, which was awesome. My rangoons were good. My pad thai however was not.

Placed an order for delivery to my hotel room. Friendly staff and the prices were good for someone on a budget. The dish I ordered was the sesame chicken dinner which includes an egg roll. The sesame chicken was ehhhh OK, had quite a bit of grizzle in my chicken which wasn’t appetizing. The egg roll was pretty good. I also ordered crab ragoons which were ok too. This good was just «filler» food.

My uncle told me to try this place out and to my surprise their orange chicken was pretty delicious. I really enjoyed it for lunch, however I also to tried their fried shrimp and that was a disappointment. The batter that covered the shrimp was so oily with each bite I decided to feed it to my uncle’s dog instead. In all I only tried these two things and I really like the service so I would try them again.

Just went there tonight. Not sure if they changed hands or not but the service was terrible. And i dont usually rate a resraurant for service, but it was terrible. They screwed up our order and even people around us had problems. We even heard dome takeout order that was missing… The good news is the food was still good…
Id also like to mention the place is starting to get dingy. The mirrors need to be cleaned, bathrooms remodeled. And the mens room needs soap.
Hate to do this but maybe they can turn it around…

Was in town for a few days, for business and craved some chinese food. Coming from LA, probably where the best chinese food can be found, I honestly kept my expectations realistic.
But you know what? The food was very decent. I took the food to go — Mongolian beef (the lady who took my order recommended it) and the salt & pepper shrimp. So why just an «A-​OK»? Well the main reason is because the flavors of the dishes, while good, are not what I’m used to eating. The mongolian beef doesn’t quite resemble any mongolian beef dishes I’ve had growing up. And Lin’s taken the liberty to re-​interpret the salt & pepper shrimp dish.
So, not bad. It may even be great for the midwest palate. But the food is not quite authentic. Trust this chinese gal, I’d know :)

I’ve been coming here for nearly 8 years now.
The food is excellent and tastes authentic & the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
I highly suggest you order their Kung Pao Chicken/​Crab Ragoon/​Sweet& Sour Soup/​Egg Roll/​Mongolian Beef.
