Big restaurant. We had a party of ten at 7:45pm on a Friday. The server dropped water pitchers to the table. We had a really rocky table that we had to fix by putting something underneath it. The menu was ginormous. Sadly they were out of a few things we tried to order including the pork skewers, Vietnamese pork chops, and the hot and sour soup. I got a Vietnamese iced coffee, it was good. And the won ton soup was so good too. Very hot. The fried dumplings and the steamed dumplings were delicious. The steamed dumplings were a little in the colder side but the fried dumplings were a perfect temperature. For an entree I got beef pho and also mixed vegetables with garlic. The pho portion was HUGE, omg if you order it you really don't need any other food or should definitely share it. They gave us plastic soup spoons for the hot soup, so I used my metal spoon instead. The mint leaves were kind of old but the bean sprouts, jalapeño peppers and limes were fresh. The noodles were all clumped together. But overall the soup was good. The mixed veggies were good, it had carrots, broccoli, onions, tofu, mushroom, snap peas, everything tasted really good, except the cabbage in it. Overall, good experience. read more

Just hit up Lihn's Bistro for lunch after a workout and it totally hit the spot. The Pho Ga chicken was hot and full of flavor, but still light and exactly what we wanted on a chilly day without feeling weighed down after the gym The chicken was tender, the broth was on point, and everything felt fresh. Loved all the sides to add yourself (cilantro, bean sprouts, lemon, and jalapenos) plus had friendly, fast service too We'll definitely be back especially given the very affordable prices. Wins all across the board! read more

This is first time I come here from out-of-state. I looked at multiple web site to pick this restaurant. I like the location, parking, Easy to find and plenty of parking. Inside the restaurant is very nice. Open space, not too crowded. They offer a very menu with a good price. Not too expensive. I ordered Hu Tieu My Tho and Bun Bo Hue. The broth tastes good. I would come again. Im Vietnamese and I approve this place . read more

I had lunch today at Linh's for the first time. I had beef pho and fried egg rolls. I can't say enough about how delicious it was! will definitely be going back soon!!!!! dining area was comfortable. The service was good. Highly recommend! read more

What a nice little spot. It's located across airway from the museum in the United States Air Force, so in my opinion it's got a great location. It's just in a little strip mall, it's not too ostentatious. Pretty roomy on the inside. They have some nice soft jazz going on in the background. I was just needing a snack so I popped in and asked him about those spring rolls. The lady put up with my redneck request and double check that she had the right one. Was able to get them out pretty quickly. Service was quick, courteous, and effective. I'm looking forward to bringing my family here to enjoy the place. read more

This is the best restaurant in the area. I absolutely love eating here and taking people from out of town. It is affordable for what you get! Always ask for the Hot Tea! My go to is the Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli! It is flavorful, light and refreshing. Also our 6 and 2 year old love to eat it as well, so that's a plus! My husband always gets Pho! Our kids also enjoy the crab Rangoons. The sweet and sour sauce they have has a hint of orange, so it's delicious. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, even "after the new owners" it is amazing. read more

Linh's will always be my #1 favorite Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant in the Dayton area. I travel to Dayton for work once a month and I always have to stop by or place a to-go order. Their food and portion sizes are phenomenal. Their pho and rice dishes are authentic and perfectly cooked/seasoned. Their Chinese dishes are delicious, and I can appreciate their menu having multiple languages so everyone can understand what they have to offer. I like how they always have free hot tea and the service is great. They truly treat you like family. I highly recommend the salted spicy squid- it's deep fried calamari with a little bit of spice. Their hot pots have huge portions and I can't wait to take home the leftovers each time! read more

After recently traveling to Vietnam, I was excited to try the bún thịt lụi at Linh's Bistro. Bún thịt lụi is a Vietnamese dish that combines soft, bouncy rice vermicelli noodles (bún) with smoky, tender, grilled marinated pork skewers (thịt lụi) and an array of fresh herbs, and crunchy vegetables, perfectly complemented by tangy-sweet fish-sauce based nước chấm dipping sauce. This dish is very similar to the bún chả that Anthony Bourdain and President Barack Obama enjoyed together in Hanoi, Vietnam. A surprise hit was the strangely addicting salted tofu--so good I need to learn how to make it! (caution: very salty). The casual, spacious atmosphere is excellent for a relaxed meal, and the service was fast and friendly for takeout. read more

To all...beware! We ordered Empress Chicken and they charged us $2.00 to put vegetables in it. They put chicken in a bowl resulting in a very mushy/soupy mess. Again, a very soggy mess. Took the first bite and was disgusted with some kind of fishy taste. Took a couple more small bites to make sure and verified how bad it tasted. My wife ordered Pho and she said it was very watery instead of a broth-like consistency as Pho is supposed to be. Ordered fried rice and got white rice. I threw 95% of the Empress Chicken in the garbage disposal although it was more suited for the toilet. I called Linh's and was told the manager was not in and there was NOTHING she could do about it. We weren't offered any kind of remedy so we will just move on. read more

The service was great, pho came out super fast! I ordered it the pork pho and the veggies were fresh and the soup was hot. I jazzed it up because it was a bit flavorless but still really good. The place is clean and cheery, we will definitely be back! read more

The shrimp and meat both tasted freezer burnt. We used to love this place. Not sure what happened to their food.

Food was delicious, not a large place but clean and bright. We came for an early dinner so were seated immediately, served quickly and with a smile. read more

Had a quick bite after visiting US Air Force around 5 pm. The place was quite packed, and there were only 2 waitstaffs. They got some Chinese dishes as well. Friendly service and our appetizers came shortly afterwards. Spring rolls were fresh but the dipping sauce was a bit too watery, IMO. Reasonable price and will be back when in area. read more

Seriously the best Pho in town. Every time I visit Dayton, I make a point to get some yummy Pho. It's always fresh, hot and delicious!! The crispy spring are ok. Not the greatest but not the worst either. The Pho is my main focus when I'm there. I absolutely enjoy every spoonful. read more

I've gotten two things here, the Pho and the salted stir fry pork. The Pho was OK. Everything about it was typical and expected but the one thing that fell short was the beef slices. I think the slices were somewhat overcooked and the slices were too thick or something. The flavor ended up being slightly too bland and also too chewy. The rest of this pho was not too memorable. Service was very slow, as is typical for restaurants these days. Pho District is slightly better, and What the Pho is the best in terms of Pho rankings. The salted fried pork had a good flavor, but was extremely overseasoned with salt. It was so salty even with some rice on the side. I had to "fix" this by bringing it home and stir frying it among other vegetables to try to cut the salt down. read more

The crab Rangoon was nothing but fried wontons! There was no filling it was bad! My chicken was very dry Just read another review how they changed owners this makes sense as I have always had good food! I haven't ordered for a while and this was just bad all around read more

Came here for lunch with a group of 5 around 1pm on a Wednesday. We were able to get seated right away but it was pretty busy in there. Lots of nice free parking in front of the building. Enjoyed my experience here! The menu is very large with many options to choose from. I would have liked more pictures and descriptions on the menu to help me decide. But was very happy with what I ordered and would love to come back and try something else. I got the chicken with noodles and really liked it. The portions were a very good size for the price of ~$10. My meal also came with a rangoon and a soup side! A nice surprise. Loved the flavors and taste of everything! Waitress was kind and helpful. Everyone else really enjoyed their meal as well! read more

Ordered some takeout and I absolutely would again. I love pho and their beef pho was tasty and heavy on the noodles which I appreciated. I do wish they had more hoisin sauce in their takeout but I survived. Next time I will make sure and ask for extra. The crab rangoons were good, nothing super exciting but still tasty. I would stop in here again for sure. read more

Lihns food has really gotten bad! My son and his wife always want to go there when they come, Not anymore!! Everything we ordered didn't taste like it used to. The food was just yuck! Which really is a shame. Won't go again and certainly won't recommend the place. The. last time I was there it was the same way, but then the service was bad too! read more

Lihn's was our go to place for many years starting at the old location up the hill. Once the moved to the present location the food stayed the same but the service became so unbelievably bad and rude that we stopped going. When we ran into one of the rude waitresses at another restaurant, we tried Lihn's again and it was still bad. Recently, about two years since our last visit, we gave it another go and we're happy we did. Even thought it was within an hour of closing, we were greeted, seated and eating in less than 5 minutes. The food was as good as before. This weekend we went again but earlier in the evening. They had signs saying they were short staffed and asking visitors to to be patient. Again we were greeted,seated and eating in less than 5 minutes. Today's short handed Linh's is better than it ever was a few years ago when they were fully staffed. read more

Super fast and friendly service. There was a lot to pick from on the menu which was a tad bit overwhelming. They also do not sell banh mi's. Overall was a good experience. The pho was super tasty. There was a lot of meat in each bowl (3) which was surprising. I would come by again the next time I am in town. read more

While the service was good the food was fair at best. The portion was skimpy and contained more onions and scallions than anything else, cheap filler in my opinion. The shrimp were dime size and kind of off tasting, the dish was suppose to contain carrot but I really did not see any. The rest of the dish was noodles. Doubt I will return for noodles, onions, and a couple small shrimp for $16 including tip. read more

I don't know if this place has new management or what but the food is not as good as it used to be for the last year. We always get the spicy vegetable soup and have been so disappointed in how it tastes now. Not the same at all. Can also tell they are cutting corners. No longer our favorite place. read more

By Terri Schenck I thought the food was very good.I'm a vegetarian.My friend who had the Pho,And nothing too impressed.Meat in Pho was without flavor and just not too much to write home about.Wanted some wine or Sake and had to go to liquor store next door. The staff was not very attentive,and took awhile to get waited on.One of the only things that would bring me back is that they allow ur dogs on the patio.My friend is borderline about returning.I would definitely give it another shot."The ambiance was good.Not a bunch of screaming kids,was clean and people were older and not partying and what not. read more

Consistently good Vietnamese food I always get the fried spring rolls. They are delish

Great Asian food. While they specialize in Vietnamese, their Chinese cuisine is also great.

We ordered for pickup through DoorDash. We usually order from another local place but wanted to try something new. All of the food was tasty, even if some was not quite as good as other places we've tried. We ordered pho, bun bo hue, chicken and garlic, goi cuon, ga toi, and pork and shrimp stir fried rice noodles. The pho was decent, plenty of add-ins with a generous about of broth. The flavor was a little underwhelming, but it still hit the spot. The chicken and garlic was tasty, as was the stir fried noodle dish. The best part of the meal was the Bun Bo Hue, I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually somewhat spicy even though they didn't request a spice preferred. I like when a good that is supposed to be spicy actually comes that way. Very good. read more

I have been coming here for close to 14 years! Over half my life ! When the restaurant was smaller I was known for being very frequent customer, but then I moved away. Each time I came home to visit family, this was always my first stop as long as it wasn't a Monday LOL. Mondays seem to be the only day in which I go "I have to have linh's today". (they are closed on Mondays!) This place is classic and Authentic. Pho Just get it. Unless you move away you are loyal to this place for the rest of your life. read more

Not fancy but great food friendly staff. A bit noisy. Will return. Good size portion.

It's been a while since I've been to this restaurant as I've moved away. As I've always loved this place, I obviously had to visit again. When I entered, I notice that there are many new faces. Turns out they're under new ownership. First off, these are some of the rudest servers I've ever seen. Seems like none of the servers wanted to be there. Not a single "hello". We were taken to our table where the guy drops off the menu and leaves without saying a word. This guy seemed like he was more preoccupied flirting with the waitstaff rather than working with the customers. Clearly everyone had a dish in front of them except 1 person and the server has the audacity to ask if all our orders have come out (they forgot). He never asked if we needed a refill until after the bill came. Food wise, the pho broth was mediocre at best. This is strange as it looks like the restaurant still has the same kitchen staff. The flavor and quality was much better in the past (probably new owners cutting costs). My family had the beef broth and the beef was sliced thick and had the texture of imitation beef. The amount of noodles in the pho has been lessened as well. I'm a 140lb guy and if this bowl doesn't fill me up, I doubt it'll be enough to be fulfilling to most. The only saving grace for this "new" restaurant is that they kept the same sauce for their spring rolls. 2/5 stars. I would not recommend. read more
