    What I ate for the main

    I ate the crab puff, sushi, sweet and sour chicken, vanilla ice cream, a piece of cake. The crab puff was good the sweet and sour chicken wa good, the vanilla ice cream was good but... The suchi was disappointing because the crab was so dry it made me gag and the cake was like super dry almost like a desert in my mouth and the cup I for my water was dirty and the there was a dirty spot on the wall. The service was good other then I had to wait 5 minutes for my water, and the people were nice.

    Meh.. it's aiiiiiight. Lin's Grand Buffet isn't so "grand." It is clean, and the staff is nice, but I feel like it needs an upgrade. The choices are very limited. You have to pay before you are seated, and include the tip, or leave cash on the table. I guess if you're feeling extra generous, you can tip additional at the Mongolian Grill or the Sushi Bar (I saw tip jars by the sauces). The one thing I liked about it was the Mongolian Grill. You could pick whatever veggies and meats you wanted, add your sauces of choice, and noodles if you want. I didn't choose the noods, as they were too thick for my liking. I got an assortment of bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and a mix of chopped beef and pork. They also had chicken. I topped it with soy sauce, Mongolian sauce, and the teriyaki sauce. When the guy behind the counter finished cooking it for me, I added a little fried rice to complete my plate. It was good, but I would like the pieces of meat a bit bigger. The sushi station left much to be desired. I think they put cream cheese in almost every roll. I didn't know what I was getting because I didn't see labels. They didn't have sashimi, nor did they have any nigiri. They didn't even have the basics like salmon, tuna, or yellowtail. =( I got a few pieces, but I didn't know what they were. The rice seemed a little hard, but it wasn't crunchy. It was edible, and the rolls (whatever they were) tasted okay. I didn't realize until my 3rd trip up that the labels of the dishes are ON TOP of the plexiglass. Most buffets I've been to have them ON the plexiglass, so if you're short (or under 5',) I would say tiptoe or just ask someone what the dish is. That was weird. They have a small section of desserts and a salad bar. The potato salad tasted good! I didn't get dessert because there wasn't anything that tickled my fancy. They also have vanilla and chocolate soft serve. The prices here are cheap, at around $14 for lunch, it's awesome! However, the selection is very limited, and I saw a fly land on one of the soup ladles. I realize that's something they may not be able to control, but it was gross nonetheless. The review with the hair in the broccoli almost kept me from coming in, but I wanted to give Lon's a chance.I hope they can upgrade the buffet one day, and maybe I'll come back to check it out. =/

    Hot & sour soup
    Jeremy S.

    Our experience the day before yesterday wasn't all bad, but not very pleasant either. The food was decent for a buffet. Most items we tried we thought were fine. First thing I did was head to the Mongolian/Grill section. The steak was overcooked simply because the guy grilling it didn't understand basic English which is annoying. If your Spanish speaking staff interact with the public its up to the employer to make sure they understand common requests like "medium rare, please". It did have decent taste however. Hot & sour soup was barely luke warm. Not having immediate access to napkins in a buffet is idiotic. Waiting for your server to bring them during a busy service is frustrating. Put them EVERYWHERE Lin's!!!! It's one thing to save $, but that is NOT the right way. Not enough spicy protein options. Something other than a bunch of chicken options would be nice. No hot mustard?!? Dumb!!! Their garlic chili paste was bad. Service was just ok. Restrooms were clean. Can't see any reason to return.

    Hello All, Beware this is the Worst chinese place in casa grande. I paid for a meal and clearly ate Nothing, I'm really not sure how they made it past a 1 star....the staff are either not elinglish speaking or rude. The Food! Was Horrible they have Nothing compared to the Lin's in Phoenix off Baseline. The selection is limited to nothing cold dry old food and just overall poor service with no night supervisor as requested to speak to about this location and refund. I'm truly disappointed and discussed at this locations service, food and overall performance they need to be Closed.

    Plenty of seating on Sun morning.

    Most buffets are a free for all, guests stampeding each other on the way to the food like starving cattle, elbows flying with a complete disregard for civilized manners. I've even seen a waitress fight a customer once in another buffet over a cheating boyfriend while my wife yelled "fight, fight, fight!" in the background like a teenager. So let's just say I haven't been a huge fan of buffets. Having said that Lin's knocked it out of the park with great food, a wide variety of dishes and a friendly staff that don't walk around looking like they hate their jobs. The price was reasonable and it was very clean inside. It is probably the best buffet I've ever been in including Vegas so I'll be back for sure.

    This is my first time at Lin's. I was in the area visiting family. I am glad we can to Lin's. I like the ambience of the place. It is also very clean and the buffet line is stocked with a lot of different options. Lin's offers not only great food but great prices. I did not have enough room to have the Mongolian. I had too many other things on the buffet line to go with the Mongolian, but it looked so good seeing what other people ordered. The sushi bar was just ok. I still grabbed a couple of sushi roles. When you are getting your food do not forget about the desert bar. There are several good choices.

    The prices are so reasonable and the food is fresh. They have a lot of options to choose from as well. The baby octopus was made just perfect and not too chewy. I can't wait to go back if I am ever in AZ again.

    Hair in broccoli
    Alexis G.

    Absolutely disgusting but most of all the manager never came to apologize for the hair intertwined in broccoli. The food was highly salted and old. Overall a sincere apology from a manager would have prevented a horrible review. Would not go here again.

    Most definitely not worth what you pay. Food is not that good at all. Luckily, you had several choices of mediocre fare to choose from.

    My main issue here is the price discrepancies. I've taken several screenshots to show the various…read moreprice differences AND my receipt from when I walked in to order. It's a bit frustrating to see all the false advertisement of pricing and nothing being done about it The service was pretty decent for a carry out order, you have to walk to the back when you walk in which may be intimidating for some people. You are literally the center of attention when walking to the back. The shrimp fried rice is good, I asked for water chestnuts and I guess that upset the cook because that's ALL that was in there honestly. I don't care for the shrimp egg foo young here because it's on the OUTSIDE of the foo young patty instead of INSIDE. Decent parking but it is across the street from the park the homeless people hang out at so beware of that as well I ordered again through uber eats! As you can clearly see from the walk in , shrimp is 3.00, not sure how my price jumped so high. It's like they change the price whenever they want to. I may contact the attorney general tbh

    This is still our favorite place for hot and sour soup. The family special is the classic meal with…read moresoup, appetizers, fried rice and two entrees. This is an old-fashioned but reliable place and service is always good. They do a very robust to go business and I see a sign advertising DoorDash delivery. This remains our go-to for classic Chinese dishes.
