Not bad for a buffet. Food tasted a little cheap, it was really hit or miss with the options. Has lots of options here and even an ice cream machine for you to operate yourself. Service was amazing with a nice waiter checking in on us. The interior is your ordinary restaurant so nothing special. read more

Some food was great others was left out to long. For the price its good but be careful what you get.....service was bad though they acted inconvenienced by having to do their jobs and serve people. Attitudes bad from the front to the tables to the people cooking food. read more

My granddaughter wanted me to take her to eat here, because the parking lot is always full, and she assumed that they have excellent food. Oh, boy. We started with the sushi and every roll tasted the same, seriously, they looked different but they all had the same taste. She went on and got a plate of hot food, while I made a salad. The ingredients didn't look fresh. She grabbed a fresh dinner roll that had a honey(?) glaze. It was the only decent bite I had. I really don't know why people flock here because the food is just meh. read more

The place is new, clean, and definitely has a nice vibe but the food just didn't live up to all the hype I've been seeing online. It wasn't bad, and the service was good just not worth the excitement everyone's been posting about. Because of that, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

The value you get out of this place is fantastic. After spending $20 for loaded fries earlier in the day, this establishment only charges $18.40 (includes tax) for all you can eat. Quite frankly, it's an awesome deal and pretty unbelievable since that's what I pay for a normal sit down restaurant. As with most of these Chinese buffets, you get a mix of different types of foods from sushi, salad, fried rice, chicken dishes, pizza, ice cream, jello, Mongolian noodles and beef, and much more. The only real foible of this place was that I wish they had signs on the food so you know what's what. Oddly enough, I found signs on top of the dessert so the workers forgot to place the signs everywhere. Most of the food we ate were fresh and hot. It must've been because it was on a crowded dinner night where the kitchen was constantly making food and putting them on the trays. My personal suggestion is to always go to the places that make the food for you right on the spot which would be the Mongolian section of the buffet; it allows you to choose from a variety of meats and vegetables and they stir fry it for you. I would say that was my favorite part of the meal. I would say my least favorite parts were the dessert items as they were either bland or average. Avoid the jello. The service was nice and friendly and despite the long line, we were able to be seated after 10 minutes of waiting. read more

Went there on Sunday night. The line was long! Had to wait 30 plus minutes. The buffet had a lot of choices of seafood. Everything was refilled even before being empty. The food was good like old pre covid days. The service was very attentive. The buffet looked very clean. read more

We've been waiting for this place to open so when I saw the grand opening banner from the freeway I knew we had to come check it out. We have been to quite a number of Chinese buffets over the years and let me tell you... this one is pretty exceptional. There was a line out the door when we got there (around 11:15 am) and there was still a line out the door when we left. The line moved quickly and we were seated right after paying. We were pleasantly surprised by the huge selection of food available. They had absolutely everything! In addition to 2 full rows of hot dishes they have a sushi station, Mongolian grill station, salad station and dessert station. Food highlights for me on this visit: fried rice rice noodles, dumplings, egg rolls, pineapple chicken, beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli. I absolutely loved the egg rolls. They were so delicious! I also tried some fruit and pudding. My husband had some of the desserts and said they were good. Our server was prompt at clearing away empty dishes. Drink refills took longer than anticipated but they were insanely busy. Despite the fact that this is a buffet and people make messes, staff stayed on top of things and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. There were 3 of us on this visit and all 3 of us had a great experience and are looking forward to coming back again! read more

Lin’s Grand Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great Buffet with reasonable prices. Lots of options. Inviting atmosphere. Strongly recommend for anyone in the Phoenix metro north.

Tiene cosas buenas pero muy pocas opciones comparado con otros buffet del mismo precio.

Lin’s Grand Buffet - Shrimp, Chicken and Shrimp, Mandarin Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The food was pretty good. Place was clean. The hot and sour soup was terrible. Not hot or sour. The soy sauce was SUPER SALTY!!! I'm not sure why. I've been eating kikkomans regular soy sauce for many year and have never had it be so salty. Either they got a bad batch or they are adding salt to stop people from eating too much sushi. I'll bring my own sauce next time. Other than that it was a pretty good experience. read more

I didn't like the selection of foods and no crab legs like the Buffet across the street

Well, we went just after 11 AM. There were three of us in the party. We paid the fee, which was not that much for three people. We went to get our food one went to the grill and to the back the other two of us went through the buffet lines to get food. The food was warm, but not hot. I did grin and chuckle as they even had cheese enchiladas. I also got the string beans the mushrooms, the small shrimp, some orange chicken and fried fish. My plate was really like a sampler. Later, I went back and got baked salmon, which was hot and very, very good. I'm also got what they called apple pie, which is nothing to write home about mines better. And some of the ice cream which was good. I can't say the food wasn't good as it was, but it could've stood a little more cooking or heating somewhere along the line as it was only warm Except for the baked salmon which was hot. The service was fair and the ambience was OK for a buffet. No big complaints that I can't give them five stars because the food was just warm. read more

Lin's is a destination every year when we visit for our annual golf weekend. It's perfect way to end the day after a full day at one of Phoenix's great courses. We have never had a bad experience, and the value for the cost is fantastic. Service has been good and overall it's what you expect from a buffet. read more

thought everything was great, until it wasn't. on the way home i didn't know whether i was going to shit my pants or projectile vomit on the windshield. i had to pull over at walmart. cried in the bathroom as my crawfish poured out of me. will not be returning read more

Its nice Inside so far because it's new, they didn't have some ok food, some was bland n some were tasty. The fruits weren't sweet, the trays weren't filled in a timely manner, there were at least 7 empty hot trays that needed to be filled only scraps on the trays. Service was kinda slow, it's just ok for me nothing really stood out for me that was impressive. I may try it another time n hopefully it'll be fully stocked with fresh hot food. For now they get a 3.5 stars from me. read more

Very clean, staff friendly. Food was excellent, good variety as well. Very reasonably priced.

So I arrived at the Metro parkway location just across the street from harbor Seafood Grand buffet. The area and layout is clean yet maze like depending upon where you park and enter if you are walking. The entrance is nice and clean and there are two greeters and a host busy and at work to get you paid in and seated. on the inside The area is a l smaller than Harbour and no wide inviting space which is standard to the lin decor and seating Format Everybody is tight and cozy yet comfortable. Standard and long-standing to Chinese and Asian buffet style you'll have someone greet you at your table asking you what you would like to drink. This never fails and it's always excellent because they are tidy and prompt. For Lins (like all the other locations )there is a sushi,Mongolian and a dessert area next to the sushi is the fruit salad and pudding area. As stated in my last Asian buffet review I told you that both of these locations would be fighting for supremacy. But upon entering the parking areaI saw a Mongolian cook worker having a cigarette and I politely greeted him and I said "hello wonderful place you have here.". he kindly spoke back "welcome enjoy yourself" Due to it being Asian I don't think either of the two groups (harbor or Lins) are prodding themselves one over the other. me saying that would the case was just an opinion. as for the options distinctions Harbor offers Televisions and conversion so that you can connect with your friends family and loved ones co-workers etc . Harbor has a lot more rare options and unique food options Such as raw oysters chicken feet crawfish Lins has pork ribs baked and fried chicken wings Poke Mongolian grill and all other regulars you're used to seeing at Lins Lins has no televisions but wants you to eat and have a good time. Harbor has Large tables and a spacious banquet room for large gatherings.. Lins does as well just not as grand When you enter the building at Lins you just see the greeters and the host When you enter the building at Harbor buffet you see the Koi Pool and it's fish for aesthetic read more

I thought the staff was exceptional. I feel when you check in and use Apple Pay they should give you more time to add tip as I think that deprived the service staff of some tips for those that don't carry cash. The food was pretty good and I would definitely recommend this place to others looking for an affordable meal with respectable quality. Again staff was great! read more

Disgusting. One on the servers in black shirt dropped a rag on the floor picked it up and started cleaning the table with it and sat a family on the same table. When I told a different server about what happened. They said they were going to get the manager. They never did. Family still sat on the table. And the server still is walking around with that same rag cleaning tables. Negotiate stars. read more

So many choices. The food was really good. The baby squid was really tough and chewy so I wasn't wild about it. I ate small portions on my first plate, so I could see what I enjoyed the most. The service was great and the atmosphere was family welcoming. Very clean and lots if seating. A must visit buffet. It's worth the price and more. read more

Lin’s Grand Buffet - A variety of the Buffet. - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Horrible experience . I became ill after a few sushi pieces. my stomach was hurting and giving me nausea. I asked the manager for a refund so I could leave at least not feeling ripped off but she treated me like I was trying to scam them for the 20 dollars I paid. I explained the situation and she acted like a medical expert insisting that I could not feel sick in such short time . Basically calling me a liar. I left the place embarrassed , feeling ripped off and with a stomach ache. Worst 20 dollars I have spent in a while. that manager was very nasty and condescending. read more

Lin's is my favorite Chinese buffet; all locations are great. The food is never cold, a very big variety, and IF they run out of a dish, it's refilled quickly. The servers are great too. Love this place ALOT. read more

Pretty busy! Food is great for now. We will see how they hold up in 3 years. Quality always seems to fall after a while.

Happy this time we came to eat here! The steaks were finally seasoned! The last time we came they were tasteless! I did leave a review about it. read more

First of all, $14.99 for good Chinese food is an amazing price. The barbecue ribs we're delicious. The Mongolian barbecue that you can create is spectacular. The sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, and all things in between were done very well. Not only was it good, I can't wait to go back. read more

I was expecting it to be somewhat mediocre, given the other reviews, but, as always, many Yelpers just have absurdly high standards. Very delicious food, hot, all the waiters were very kind. For a Tuesday at noon, fairly busy, but not completely packed, I would say it was about 40-50% full. read more

Lin’s Grand Buffet - Plate of food from the buffet - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Good spot wait wasn't to long and staff kept our drinks full at all times. Cant ask for much more then that

I love it! It's so nice and clean inside! It's also huge! Decorated nicely and doesn't look shabby like so many buffets. Employees were friendly and refills quick. Lot of great food, all hot and never empty. Everything was available and filled up quick when it got low. All the different chicken, the noodle bar, the dessert donuts. All for 20 bucks or so! The jalapeno chicken was top for me. Even went here for my birthday, nice cheap outing for everyone and lots of food. read more

Hot food that is fresh and very attentive servers who keep your table clean and drinks refilled. Pleasantly decorated and well laid out.

Went there at months ago . The parking lot was full . This was a Sunday evening. The variety was huge . The sushi was a little dry .fruits was not sweet but expected. The fried shrimp was good and I especially liked their Mongolian barbecue. They were out of the Wantons but the waitress was over often , for a quick meal reminding seniors get a 10 % discount food was not overly salty like most buffets read more

The restaurant itself looked clean on the surface. Ok. However, my wife loves this place and for the likes of me I don't know why other than the fact that she rants and raves over their jalapeño chicken which I found to be very sub par. At the front desk my wife informed the cashier that we wanted dining for two. They did not have coke zero so I opted to drink water. You see, these places try to sell one something even if they don't want it. Since they didn't have what I wanted I was fine with drinking water. However, the cashier said that she had already charged us for 2 drinks, as if she could not reverse or cancel the order and redo the order. She heard me tell my wife to take the charge off and when we received our receipt, we found that she charged us for 2 drinks anyway! My wife filled up about 3 plates for herself and she did not "stop at Go!" I fixed 3 plates in hopes of finding some culinary treasures. Not! Quite frankly I was wary of the food once I reached my table. I had put a large piece of fish on one of my plates and it was supposed to be salmon. But at further examination I found that the salmon meat/flesh was completely brown , the entire piece. I've never seen brown salmon before so I would not even attempt to taste it. I had tried all the types of shrimp and if one just looks at it's appearance, it's old. Reheated old shrimp, so I did not touch it. The terriyaki beef, nope. The rice noodles, suspect. So the remainder of the meal I sat quietly and watched my wife devour her food as if there was no tomorrow and tried not to display my dislike for the food. However, she could plainly see that I did not enjoy of the food at this buffet restaurant. I am just glad that she enjoyed her meal because she will not come to this buffet without me accompanying her. I probably will return only because she enjoys the food so much. I've been trying to point out to her when eating out, all food is not good and all food is not fresh and what to look for but I guess she will have to learn to make better choices over time. Or not. I just know that when we come back which I hope will be a very long time from now. She can just order for 1. I'll sit it out and eat when we get back home. read more

We are visiting Phoenix and wanted to try a Chinese buffet in the area. From what I gather, this buffet has been opened for a month. The price and the amount of fresh food was awesome! There were so many selections of various foods and the workers kept bringing out fresh ones constantly. The service was excellent!! Our servicer kept picking up finished plates and refilling our water. We highly recommend this place. We paid $17 plus tax for dinner on a weekday and is worth it. We would come here again. read more

If I could give you guys a zero, I would due to the manager not working with us and being very very ignorant and we felt very ignored be the fact the MEAT WAS RED ! "He states if anything it's over cooked there chief's cook the meat 3 times " we asked for a refund because my husband lost his appetite and me being pregnant I was scared to eat that ! He was very uncooperative and made us never want to eat there again !!! He's is the main manager that's short and Vietnamese read more

If I could give it a ZERO, I would!! DON'T GO HERE!!! Food cold and taste awful!! We paid $30 and went to the front for a refund and the manager said he couldn't give us a refund because we were there for 30 minutes. It took us 30 minutes to look at all the food and get the food!! It was the middle of lunch time and it was almost empty in there, that should've been a sign for us to turn around and walk out! He didn't care, he was very RIDE!! STAY AWAY FROM HERE, go to Number 1 Buffet in Avondale!' They have the best food, it's hot, fresh and great food!! read more
