I've been eating here since it opened.. same owners there every day.. hot fresh and delicious.. fair pricing although it's gone up overtime like everything has.. I eat here at least twice a month read more

First time ordering it was perfect - maybe because I ordered before lunch. Food was fresh and tasted very well. The second time I ordered - it was around 4PM. Food was literally disgusting, the rice was sticky like it wasn't fresh and it went bad. Will not be reordering from this place again. 0/5 if I can leave a rating. read more

We Uber eats this to the home and was pleasantly surprised on how authentic and delicious the food was. Well, looking at the reviews and pictures. I got a whole different experience than what I was seeing on here. We ordered the General Chicken and were pleasantly surprised, it was a huge piece of white meat, but perfectly cooked, flavorful, and not overwhelming at all. The egg drop soup made the perfect starter, and the spring rolls were delicious. My friend ordered the egg rolls and absolutely loved them too. For takeout, the whole experience was amazing. The food arrived quickly, still warm, and tasted fresh and authentic. Nothing missed the mark. We'll definitely be ordering again, it really hit the spot! read more

Nothing exciting here. Ok, passable and nothing awry. Well maybe not the hot and sour soup which had a linger aftertaste reminiscent of dish soap. Everything else was ok but not memorable. read more

I haven't gone back in a while so I decided I would try it again. I'll order a large soup and the bowl was half full and I noticed it was mostly liquid. I asked the waitress. She said they could only fill it halfway now per the owner, the bowl of soup was around eight dollars and there was only about three dollars worth of soup in there. Then the owner started to give me a hard time her name is Linda. I did not wanna argue with her, so I walked out. Their food quality has gone down. A lot of their food taste the same I noticed and I started getting really bad. I found a restaurant down Highway 99. That's a whole lot better it's Jay's diner by Kroger's waste your time at this place in new Caney I went to this other place. I spent five dollars on a big bowl of soup and everything was great. read more

Decided to stop inside Lin's today to place a to-go order. I was greeted by a nice lady upon walking in. I asked her a million questions about the menu and she was kind to answer them all. I decided on the Kung Pao Triple Delight. It took me about 20 mins to get home and was still hot and fresh when I arrived. My meal was very delicious!! I still have some left over. I am pleased with Lin's China Diner and will be back. read more

Lin's China Diner - H12. Kung Pao Triple Delight - Cantonese Near Me - New Caney, Texas

I come here often for the lunch specials and usually have a good experience, but today was disappointing. I ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken, got home, and realized there was no sweet-and-sour sauce in my bag. I called, and they told me to bring everything back so they could give me a fresh order. When I returned the food, I expected a new meal, but instead they just reheated my original order. You could clearly tell -- some of the pieces were burnt from being reheated, and the food definitely wasn't fresh. When I asked for a refund, I was told, "your food is ready," even though nothing had been remade. I'm really disappointed in the lack of care and honesty. If a mistake is made, the least a customer should get is what was promised -- a fresh, properly prepared replacement, not reheated leftovers. I hope they improve their customer service and quality control. read more

Lin's China Diner - reheated food instead of fresh order - Cantonese Near Me - New Caney, Texas

Just went here with my husband I took one bite of the food and didn't like it (pregnant btw) I asked the girl to take the food back and take it off the ticket and she said the manager of this restaurant won't allow that. So my husband just paid for food that no one ate. I've never experienced that at a restaurant in my life . Ridiculous. read more

I ordered chicken chowmein. The chicken was so rubbery with no test. I wonder if it was even real chicken. It could not be cut with a fork. There were very few vegetables in this dish. The sauce was a gloppy mess with way too much cornstarch Flavorless - not even soy sauce could save it. I'm done with Lin's. read more

Always super attentive!! Love ordering take out or delivery! The portions are large and delicious

The service was absolutely deplorable. Young lady at the front has no understanding of customer service; she answered the phone rudely and was even worse when I walked in to pick up order. She was immersed in her phone, not acknowledging I was standing in front of her at the counter until I spoke to get eye contact. She still didn't greet or apologize for being disengaged. Customer service has gone down the drain and they expect customers to continue to patronize their establishments. I will never return and will discourage others. Businesses need to learn to change their practices to keep customers returning. No wonder it was empty in there! read more

Just ate here tonight and honestly, the food was pretty mid. To start off, all the sodas were flat, so our waitress even recommended not to order any. The wonton soups came out lukewarm--almost cold--which was disappointing. I ordered two dinner plates that weren't too bad and edible, but I also got my son a kids' chicken lo mein. He refused to eat it, which was odd because he loves lo mein. I tried it myself and it had a weird gritty texture and bad taste. I even had my sister-in-law try a small bite, and she agreed something was off. When the waitress came back, I told her the lo mein didn't taste right. Her response was, "Do you want me to just throw it away?"--and this was with about 98% of the food still on the plate. She asked what was wrong, and when I explained, she said, "Does it taste like sand?" Like... what? Why would she say that unless other people have complained about the same thing? I tried not to let that ruin dinner, but when the check came, we were still charged for the lo mein. I waved the waitress over, and she said her manager told her it couldn't be refunded since it was "touched" and they couldn't give it to anyone in the back. I explained it was practically untouched--less than two bites were taken. She went back to talk to the manager, and when she returned, she repeated that it couldn't be refunded. At that point, we asked to speak with a manager, but no one came out. We actually heard yelling in the back, and eventually our waitress returned, apologized, and said they'd take it off the bill. This was me and my family's first time trying this place, and sadly, it'll be our last. read more

Lin's is always the best. I ordered delivery and it was excellent and super hot when I got it. I have eaten there at least 20 times and it is always exceptional!!! Best Chinese food in New Caney!!! read more

From the flavorful food to the friendly service and relaxing ambiance, this place never disappoints!

Watch your bill. Just ordered from here and the total mysteriously increased from what was shown in the cart after I ordered. I paid it, but it will be the last time. read more

Horrible service today. Linda is normally there but she was not today! We left so angry and upset at the people "running" this establishment today! Ridiculous and the servers and cashiers were straight up rude!!! We won't be back!! Sorry Linda, we will miss you!! read more

Waitress was very polite. But, personally I could not hack the food. The taste was a bit ‍ weird-- not like the Chinese food I'm used to eating. We didn't eat the food at all. read more

Food is good but the service is TERRIBLE! Asked a question about the ordering process because the online ordering process asks you twice about getting rice. Tried explaining and even showed her pictures but she became irate. Even one of the other workers even tried explaining to the owner what we meant, and she would not even let him speak. Based on reviews they just need to close and go elsewhere. read more

The food was just okay. Rangoons were thick and chewy. Lo mein was overcooked and swollen. Flavor was lacking with General Chicken. Felt like an inconvenience being there to pick up a to go order. Plus side is it was ready when it was supposed to be. Lins is close to home but I think I'll make the drive a few min up the road somewhere else next time for a more enjoyable meal and where my business feels appreciated. read more

we will never come back to this place! i have never in my life been treated so horribly at a restaurant all for simply asking for RICE! we have been here 3 times and the first 2 times were okay, the waitress asked us both times if we wanted white or brown rice. this time was not the case, when we received our food and asked for rice we were told it doesn't come with rice and it's extra, we told them multiple times we don't care if it's extra just bring the rice and the two wait staff just kept arguing with us and saying it doesn't come with rice over and over which turned into a huge screaming fest between us and the owner because she couldn't even get off the phone long enough to hear our concerns! she should not be anywhere near customers!! Sorry excuse for an owner!!! absolutely the worst experience of my LIFE NEVER EVER AGAIN read more

We're visiting friends here and they brought us to this restaurant. We entered into a well arranged clean and nice looking establishment. The service was fast and friendly. The food was very good. Our server anticipated all of our needs before we could mention them. To top it all off the bathroom was amazingly clean. I don't think I've ever been in a restaurant bathroom as clean as this one. The whole experience was very impressive and our server Linda made us feel very welcomed. She treated us as if she had known us forever. If we lived here we would be back. But even though we don't we will be back the next time we are here. read more

Ijust moved to the area and wanted to try this place out but I wanted to inform others not to come to this place. i asked for chicken and I received pork. I am allergic to pork but To top it off lady in the front said she couldn't refund me or exchange my food for a different dish or remake my food she said oh well it wasn't her fault and that the kitchen made it already and I would have to eat it like this. I left the food there and let her keep the money because obviously the sale was more important than someone allergies . Other than that place was clean but never coming back here again read more

Do NOT recommend. The rice was so blend and so were the other dishes. Tried to switch our dishes but management didn't help. Our chicken wasn't tasty nor seemed appetizing. Just really hated my experience here overall read more

Okay. This is our second visit to Lin's China Diner. Both visits were for a late lunch, and both times the dining area had plenty of other customers. Lin greeted us, and took our orders. In general I order the same food when I visit a Chinese restaurant for the first time. It's almost inevitably beef with broccoli. It's not exciting, but when it's done right it's extremely tasty, hot, and delicious. It's a metric of quality for me. I have to say that Lin's China Diner did an amazing job. The food was fast, and served piping hot and fresh. Nothing was overcooked. The beef was tender and nicely flavored. The sauce, a classic Chinese brown sauce, was not too syrupy, nor too thin. The broccoli was crisp and fresh, crisp and green. The steaming sauce clung to the florets, giving them a temperature jolt. Great flavors and consistency. My wife had the Clay Pot, which was served in a volcanic bubbling metal cauldron. It was screaming hot filled with chicken, shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, cabbage, etc. It's brown sauce was different containing more ginger and none of the beefy flavor that mine had. It was Smokey and savory. Awesome. I finished her meal ... LOL! Lin's is now our go-to place for Chinese food. Kudos Warning! The food is temperature hot here. The spice level is moderate. read more

Our second visit to Lin's. This time I had the hot pot. Wow, what a combo of food. Chicken, beef, shrimp, scallops, cabbage, baby corn and mushrooms in a cast iron bowl. It comes with sticky white rice or you can get friend rice for an additional 1.50 A tip, take the food out of the bowl before you eat it, it will burn your mouth from sheer heat. It is served in a brown sauce. Each of the meats was cooked as it should have been, nothing was overcooked or under cooked. It was more than I could eat so my husband obligingly finished it for me after he finished his beef and broccoli. The food here is good, the prices are reasonable, the restaurant is clean and the location is perfect. You can shop until you drop and come here to regroup and get some tasty nourishment. read more

Asian here and i've tried this place twice. The food was bland both times. Won't be back.

Food is always great! Clean and friendly atmosphere. Food is fresh and cooked when you order.

At 6:55 on Wednesday night I ordered combination pad Thai;beef, shrimp, pork and 6 piece wings for delivery. I live 10 minutes from there. I called three times to ask where my food was and the first time she called him for his whereabouts and she said he was 3 minutes away. Called two more times and she's telling me he's at my house while I'm telling her he's not. At 8:10 he finally arrives. I had one flat out of 6 pieces. She smarts off and say she's not the cook. The pad Thai had one piece of beef and I got chicken instead of pork. Too top it off, none of it was good. I spend a lot of money in that place. The first time I tried both of these. I wish I could give 0 stars. I'll never eat there again. read more

This is one of those hole in the walls you find and don't wanna give up. The lunch specials are great and include so much food ! The food is definitely different from when we first started coming, in a really good way ! Fantastic wonton soup and true orange chicken. Linda was our server and she is very sweet and good service. The ambiance is laid back. The spot is perfect for a laid back lunch with my Nana. read more

I had the almond chicken by recommendation from Amy the super great server. It was delish a great referral I walked in for the first time and was greeted by Amy who's warm smile and happy voice instantly made me feel welcome. I noticed she had 5 tables by herself and I thought service was likely to be slow but was I wrong. She was right a my table asked about something to drink and served that super fast. She got my order promptly, the food was as tasty as she promised. One thing the egg drop soup was very orangery yellow in color but the taste was very nice. I will be back and with the whole family next time. read more

Very good local Chinese restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere, good service and variety of menu dishes.

There good is ok. Typical take out but I live less than 5 miles from them and when he got here, there was a $10 delivery charge

The food is always good. Same with the service. The booths can be a bit cleaner. I don't know that you can get better sweet and sour chicken. The price is hard to beat as well. read more

I've never been disappointed at Lin's China Diner. Try the combination clay pot, it's amazing. The owner is awesome.

came in late 9:30 and still had great service with Linda. always came here with fa and always had a great service

If you haven't tried this place out, you're definitely missing out. The food is so good. Me and my kids love going here for a quick lunch when we're out and about handling errands and the service is even better they have the sweetest people working there I atmosphere could be a little bit better. It's very quiet and very boring in there but other than that I have nothing but great things to say. read more

Ordered door dash. Sweet and sour chicken and a spring roll. It was good and fresh. The spring roll had a lot of pork in it. The only thing I didn't like was the onions and peppers and carrots that were with my chicken. I picked them out. I will order again. $20 with delivery and tip for everything. read more

RAW CHICKEN. I ordered food to go and when I got home, I realized my chicken was raw. The restaurant was closed so I called in the morning. She was upset that it was the next day... I kindly asked for fresh chicken or a refund but LINDA was rude and so badly wanted me to drive home and bring the pink chicken back to her. So here is a picture for you Linda. Merry Christmas read more
