We have other Chinese takeout places closer, but Lin's is consistently good and the service is great so it's worth the extra mile (or so). We don't veer far from our usuals, so can't talk much about different menu options. But I can say their lo mein and chicken and broccoli always hit the spot. read more

Best to phone in your order as most customers choose carry out. I like General Two's Chicken. My wife like the vegetarian menu. Not much on decor, you save on the food prices. Located in the Cloverly Shopping Center in Montgomery County Maryland. read more

My favorite Chinese take-out place. Food is super fresh and made with love. This family-owned business is my family's neighborhood favorite. No msg in their recipes either. My weekly go-to! read more

Friendly staff and solid Chinese food. I'm a big fan of their dumplings and sesame chicken.

We've been ordering from Lin's at least 2 times a month for over a year, and we love it. There are definitely some things they do better than others, but if you're willing to give them several chances with different menu items, you are bound to find things you love. They are also VERY accommodating; every time we would try something new and would think, "This would be so good if not for x", we would get it again and ask them to leave out x, and they would. That's how we learned that their barbecued spareribs, mediocre if ordered straight, are fabulous without sauce, and their wonton soup, normally almost too salty to eat, is divine when made without soy sauce. They also have some of the best egg rolls anywhere, with no custom ordering required, and their house special Chow Mai Fun is also always a winner, with loads of chicken, pork and shrimp. They will also substitute brown rice upon request, unexpected from a "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant. So give them a chance! If you try them once and don't like them, try them again and order something completely different, and don't be afraid to make special requests, and they are bound to become one of YOUR favorite restaurants, too! read more

Best Chinese food you'll get in the area. Everything hand made, usually these places get all their chicken pre-fried and frozen but I've seen them doing it all themselves. Would highly recommend read more

Best Chinese food we have had in a long time! 4 stars because they don't have steak and cheese.

Decided to grab a few things from this place instead of our other go-to Chinese place. We picked up beef with garlic, shrimp with garlic, and lunch special of sesame chicken with fried rice. With the meal being over $20 we got a free can soda. It's just your run-of-the-mill take-out Chinese. The garlic entrees were okay but the sesame chicken had hints of ketchup - don't really recommend this dish. Friendly service, open every day, and run by a family! read more

Only visited Lin's a couple of times, the first time I ordered lo mein which was good. Second visit I ordered chicken wings and rice (simple order), I'm no chef but I could tell they re fried the wings at least 1-2 times. The wings were a little chewy and had a weird yellow coloring to them .. yuck! read more

Four starts for promptness! For those who live in the Cloverly section of Silver Spring, MD, if you place a take-out order over the phone, your food will be ready by the time you arrive read more

Sometimes the food is amazing, sometimes it's an oily mess. If you order 5 times, 3 out of 5 will be oily and taste old. The other two times you'll get amazing food. That's with most Chinese restaurants. Good price and decent amount of food. Nice people. read more

The sweet and sour chicken was delicious, more chicken than most places and the dippping sauce was nice and hot. I was most impressed with the General Tso's Chicken. It was much less breading than other places and their chicken is evenly covered in sauce. And just the right amount of vegetables (not too much, but still there). The delivery was really fast and they even threw in a 2 liter of soda for free. read more

This was my first time ordering. I called in and ordered delivery the girl was very polite too my order perfectly fine. Food was here in pretty good timing and my order was correct and as an added bonus there was a free soda coupon added with the purchase of $20 or more I didn't know about..so that was nice sometimes you have to ask other restaurants to give you their coupons. The food was delicious, clean (no too greasy like other carry-outs). I ordered a large chicken fried rice, General tso's chicken and beef with broccoli (my daughters fave she loves the broccoli lol). Came with a menu (only adding this cuz Like i said it was my first time ordering and I didn't have their menu in front of me so I just ordered basic Chinese food items) so I'll definitely be ordering different things next time menu looks very good. read more

The best pepper steak out of 5 others I have tried in the Calverton and Laurel area. Great shrimp read more

It's got all the usual stuff I like and they don't try to make it healthy, which I love. Prices are cheap and the service is ridiculously fast. They deliver, but I usually just drive to get it. I only live a mile or 2 away, but the food is always ready when I get there. The staff is great. They only have one or two small tables if you're going to wait or dine in. read more

The worst ever. They use spaghetti for their Lo Mein and accuse us of not knowing what real Lo Mein is. Everything we had, I have to say was pretty bad, except for the sweet and sour pork. It tastes like everwhere else. we tried the "fake me out lo mein, crispy beef, stir fries and soups." SAVE YOUR MONEY. Avoid this place. Their Crispy beef is very poorly made consistency. My husband, eats anything and finds everything to be ok. But even he was like ...uh this is very bad and the taste is awful. We tried it twice now. Once on purpose and the second by accident because we were new to the area and forgot that we have tried this place already. The minute we ate the food it all came back. I hope they get a new chef!The delivery guy was very nice though. Feel bad for him. read more

This is the best carry out I have had in a long time! The fried dumplings were flavorful. The hot and sour soup and mapo do fu had lots of tofu and spice. The roast pork in the lomein was sweet and tender. I will definitely be ordering from here often. read more

This is our regular Chinese carryout place. The food is always good and consistent. The owner is very friendly and they give you a free liter of soda with your order usually. read more

Good food and friendly service especially the young girl behind the counter with a politeness and a friendly smile. Get the hot and sour soup as good as any I have had. read more

I was looking forward to eating a delicious Chinese meal on this frigid winter night. I stopped at Lin's and should have followed my instinct to go somewhere else. The place was cold(no heat), poorly decorated, but the children and host were friendly. I picked up several vegetarian entrees and dumplings. When I arrived home, I realized that the dumplings were wrapped in a green dyed covering, and the other food look unappetizing and old. My family ate it, but later felt ill. I have been belching up residue of the food since dinner, Ill definitely check this takeout off my list . read more
