January 2026, This bufet is no longer available…read more it was a nice buffet , the they increased the price and man stopped going.

My observations: 1…read more The food we tried is not like any Chinese Food I have tried in several places in the US. The flavor is very different and I'm not a big fan. 2. The restaurant's decor feels dated. Glassware, plates, etc could be updatable to give a more modern feel. 3. The staff was courteous and attentive. 4. There is no fried rice with any of the dishes. I was very surprised since it's one of my favorite things with Chinese food!

First visit to Lin's Buffet, I was so hungry for Chinese food. As with any buffet you grab a clean…read moredish each time you return for another plate. Well, that would be great if the dishes were clean, I passed on the soup I wanted to much because the bowls were not clean. The dessert options were very few, sushi was dry but what I did eat was not bad. The price was reasonable, go during the week and over 59 ask for the senior discount. The highlight had to be our server, a ver nice attentive older woman. It was busy but there was still plenty of seating available. I'm sure we will return at some time, whenever I'm craving a variety and not sure what I want.

Very Disappointed. Had absolutely no taste. Even the hot and sour soup wasn't spicy. No juice in…read morethe entree's. Cost us almost $45 for lunch with tip. Never again. They have out priced themselves. Place was almost empty. Not good!

. I may dine here…read moreagain, but it is nothing so special as to warrant a "recommendation" from me. The service is peculiar; one is given a paper "ballot" and bowl w/ utensils. One must select a type of noodles or rice; the server then sends the diner to a "cafeteria" kind of selection to choose anything in terms of meats, veggies, condiments, etc. which fit into the bowl. Each order is cooked separately on an Oriental steel griddle; the cooking smells similar to a wok. One re-seats oneself, the waitstaff then take the concoction to table to be eaten. This is not bad, and results in a typical USA "Chinese" restaurant offering. Seems an overly-complicated, "cutesy" type of cooking procedure. Parking in large unshaded center lot. Restrooms were clean, staff nice. Amounts are more than adequate. Rick .

Hadn't been to Luby's in years and I was reminded that I used to love this place when I was a kid…read more I have the country-fried steak combo which came with two sides and bread. This cafeteria style place still has a variety of things in the menu that fall into the bucket of home-cooked meals and I really appreciate the nostalgia and the tastes. Mashed potatoes with cream gravy for the win!

Love the food and great service. You get to choose from a variety of entrees to choose from and…read moreit's made from scratch. They also have a variety of desserts as well.

Didn't even have a chef flipping any steaks, no wonder the tip jar was empty.. Very disappointing. Not even the dessert section seemed appetizing everything was low!The slushie machines weren't working either. Overall terrible experience. The bathrooms? Pffft! Horrid!!! They should have at least one employee on bathroom duty especially since it is a buffet. Why would they put lids on the trash can in the br? They're all smeared with SHIT. Kids can't hold it so I really didn't have a choice but I absolutely do NOT use public bathrooms, for this same reason. Should've drove further for better food. There's always a first and last time for everything!

Ordered delivery through Favor App. No issues. The portions are huge. I think they're around…read more$13/per entree. The presentation of the food looks really good. Everything tastes freshly made. I do however prefer the orange chicken from the mall and Panda Express more over this one. Something about the flavor of this one just is a little unusual and the texture is.... spongey. Personal preference. The Mongolian beef is garlicky and not chewy which is great.

Christmas Morning, 2024, around 12:45 PM, we were on our way back to Brownsville from Harlingen,…read morenot much was open as far as restaurants, so remembering on our way to Harlingen that day, we noticed that this place was open, so we thought, it Christmas Day, few establishments are open and we're hungry, so we pulled in and walked to the door, there were only a few people in front of us, but noticed the self service drink area was a mess and a turnoff, unorganized, only 1 ice dispenser was working, which took longer to get our teas, which should have only taken seconds, we make it the cashier, she only says "$48.76", very impolite & impersonal, not very welcoming. My first though was WOW! I though this was kind of pricey for a self service buffet, even if it is all you can eat. But, we were there and were hungry. I pulled out my debt card and she indicated, "its cash only today, the machine is not working". There were no signs on the door or at the cashier indicating as such. we didn't have enough cash to pay, I commented you should tell people at the door about this, she said nothing like sorry or anything, we left our teas at the cashier and walked out. My though is this, as a previous restaurant owner, these credit card readers rarely go down, if they do, the process is simple to reset them, they have 24 hour help lines to assist you, so that was total BS. I leave it up to you as to speculate why it was only cash on a day they were less than a handful of places to eat. NO Brainer! BAD EXPERIENCE. Never got to see or try the food so I can't comment on that, but I assure we will never try again... We ended up at Taco Palenque, we had good food, excellent service at more than half the price.
