This was my first visit to Chi Lin. I heard it was a good place to go for tasty Chinese food. The service was nice and quick. I ordered two combos, one Chicken and Cashews and one Mongolian Beef. The meals came with soup and an egg roll. Everything tasted really good. I'll be going back. read more

The moo goo gai pan was ok, but the chicken tasteless. The chicken looked like very thin little slices, like lunch meat strips. The egg foo young was horrible. It was very dark brown, burnt in many places, and it was hard to see much egg. I've had egg foo young many times, I've never seen or tasted anything like this. The spring rolls were cooked in oil that was way too hot. The were very dark with a little taste of being burnt. However, the inside piece of the dough wrap was soft and mushy. I'm sure It couldn't be left in long enough to cook because the outside was seconds away from be burnt. The fried rice was good. I order from here because the ratings were higher than other places. read more

Got Chinese to go and it was all very hot and good. Took it home as the restaurant is not a sit down place.

We have eaten at many Chinese food take out but they are the best and always good with plenty of flavor and the staff is friendly.

Beef in garlic with vegetables & chicken in orange sauce spicy both tasted exactly the same - bland? Handmade dumplings are too doughy and chicken filling tasted sour - rice vinegar, maybe? Advice: Read ALL the comments before ordering. I stopped at "best Chinese food in Florida!" Hint: if articles and tense are missing, usually means written by a Mandarin/Chinese speaker. People say the takeout on Courteney next to Publix is best on the island, which we haven't tried yet, because even when we moved to CB for a few years, we'd go to Joy Luck on 520. I got sick almost immediately after I ate from this order, and was sick to my stomach all night. Even tiny mom, who can actually eat 8 dumplings, couldn't finish one! We were so disappointed! I stopped by when we first moved to BBN Courteney area because the door was wide open, but they were closed till 4:00 and an older lady was making dumplings, do we couldn't wait for mom to try them. We really hoped to love them! Nice people, and they seem to have long-time regulars. read more

Just tried Chi Lin. Dont let the crowded parking keep you away! This is a friendly little neighborhood Chinese take out spot! No MSG either! Looking forward to trying all the dishes. read more

Food was amazing, been looking for a good Chinese resturant and im seriously satisfied.

Some of the best Chinese takeout I've had!! Unlike most Chinese joints, Chi Lin uses real chunks of chicken breast, fried very nicely to a crisp. The meat is juicy and the sauce flavorful. Lo Mein and fried rice both very solid. Had crab Rangoons as well, which honestly could have had a little more krab in them for my liking, but were nevertheless very tasty and crispy with a side of sweet and sour sauce. Pricing is exceptionally fair at around $10 for a large meal. Takeout service was friendly. Doesn't seem like any room to sit inside, but I'll be getting it to go anyway. Overall it was very satisfying and I can't wait to go back! read more

Everything was slightly above average and hot which I liked. I enjoyed the sesame chicken and all the other dishes were great a bit on the greasy side. I think the owner was very personable and nice, which goes along way. read more

I have always enjoyed their takeout but I have been very disappointed this last year. I understand they are all raising prices and Chi Lin has had a few increases, but the recent price increase was accompanied with a large reduction in all their portions. Even the crispy noodles that come with the soup were about half and now they have been stale. My husband and I think since the soup portion remains the same it tastes water down. Very said to see the places we love having to resort to this. read more

I stopped by Chin Lin a very small modest Mamasan and Papasan Chinese/Taiwanese take out place in Merritt Island. Ordered the crispy tangy beef, fried rice, and beef and scallion dumplings. Was told food would be ready in 20 mins, which indicates to me that food is cooked to order, and I was right because food was super hot. Service was good, Crispy beef and rice was good, but was not a fan of the dumplings, they were gluey although very meaty inside. Overall not bad for Merritt Island. read more

The food came out fast. My bf's chicken with cashews was flavorful. My king pao chicken was a bit over done.

I absolutely love the food at this restaurant. We always get it as takeout and they do a great job on packaging and the serving size is always good. I know the ad says outdoor seating, but I am not sure where that is at unless you eat it in your car. It's in a small strip mall and unless something has changed I don't remember any tables and chairs. I will edit this review if I am wrong. Give these folks your to go business you won't be disappointed. read more

Been going here since 2002. I've lived in Philadelphia, been to Chinatown regularly and other parts of the US. Chi Lin is on par with all them. Always amazing service by the owners and always great food. Best Chinese in the area far and away. read more

Day before thanksgiving and we are doing the Chinese food thing. Haven't been here in a while. Great service and very sweet lady who took my order. Went next door for cupcakes and fudge. Came back and everything was packed perfectly. The order was fresh and delicious I had the beef special and the. Ordered shrimp chow mein and General Tao Chicken. Good size orders and all were delicious. read more

Chi Lin always tastes so good. The owner is so sweet and always has my order ready on time.

The food looks, smells; and tastes bad. It looks like a zero wait time kind of fast food place. Fried rice took over an hour; the first time I tried to eat there. There's also no indoor seating to sit and eat there. It's to go only and they prefer cash over cards. I won't chance it again there. read more

Our dinner was very good. My family was happy with the taste of the dishes; hot and sour soup, house fried rice, chicken loMein, General Tso's spicy chicken and Buddha's Delight. The only negative was the broccoli wasn't quite cooked. I like it crunchy but this was a little too raw. Sauces were good and the spicy mustard in the little cup was ultra hot.... Which I loved. We'll definitely try some other dishes next time. read more

I only ordered once from this restaurant many years ago To be honest with everyone Food is awful Never want to order again from this Restaurant read more

We have lived near here for 3 years and had never tried it! Now it'll be a norm! It was quick. They asked what spice level we wanted. Nailed it! Food was great, reasonably priced and owner/workers were super polite! We'll be back! read more

Great takeout. Quality ingredients and good flavor. Happy Family, crab Rangoon, chow mein are easy choices.

They are back! We have tried about 10 other Chinese restaurants since they left for a family emergency about 1 1/2 years ago, and every one was awful. We finally gave up and crossed our fingers that Chi Lin would return, and they have! This place has the best Chinese food in Florida, and some of the best Chinese food I've ever had, and I used to work in Chinatown in Boston- so I've had a lot of Chinese food over the years, both authentic and Americanized. This place is authentic with wonderful flavors or ginger, garlic and spices in every bite and you can taste the pride and care in their food. We are so happy they have returned! We haven't had Chinese in a year, and it's been a long year! read more

Egg rolls and Krab Rangoon had been reheated more than once...they were hard and burned-like on the outside and the veggies inside the egg rolls were so soggy they were unrecognizable and had no flavor. Likewise, the lo mien had only shriveled peas and the noodles were all stuck together. The orange chicken was hard and the fried rice was flavorless! I'm very surprised since we used to get really good food there. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! read more

If you want great Chinese food like the best you'll ever have eat here. The service is quick only took like 35 minutes for all of my food I ordered. The bbq chicken on a stick is my favorite. read more

The food here is amazing. My favorite dish is the sweet-and-sour chicken. We probably visit twice a month.

Ordered for cyber monday for our employees, 60 people were fed. We did not have one complaint. BEST FOOD EVER!

Out of the three chinese restaurants that we have tried on Merritt island this one is by far the best. We love that the chicken is actual chicken meat and not processed meat. read more

Delicious food. I highly recommend all of their food. They happily will make it spicier or custom to your taste. They are fast, efficient and always exceeds my expectations. You will be a regular before you know it! read more

This is really a nice place, tasty food! My favorite is GT chicken, it's the best one in Merritt Island!

I don't eat Chinese on the east coast of FL. But if I lived would be my favorite!! The Yelp reviews were on the button!!! If the lady was any more friendly I would think I was eating at my Mom's!! Food was exceptionally good as well!! I will be back next rocket launch :) read more

Ordered the General's chicken lunch special, and it was the best General's chicken I've ever had. Big pieces of white meat chicken and a rich, sweet sauce. Wow, so good. The fried rice was also great, with egg and peas in it. Spring roll was very good, and the wonton soup was killer. They also gave us a couple of fortune cookies. Me and my wife divided this lunch special, and we left some rice in the container. It was that much food. EXCELLENT! read more

Don't believe the 5* reviews. I got take out based on those reviews and was very disappointed. The Egg Drop soup was weak and the steamed dumplings were under cooked and the sauce was very mild. The lo mein had very little meat in it and the again the sauce was very mild. The fried rice had lots of crunchy rice and again the meat content was almost non existant and it tasted like it had been fried in old oil. We will not order from them again. read more

We have always loved Chi Lin. Not quite the same since they got back from China, but still the best on Merritt Island.
