    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chen's Chinese Bistro at 3281 N Hunt Hwy, Florence, AZ 85132 (Right Side of Safeway) has been at…read morethis location for 18 years. Some negative reviews talk about the high prices. I found pricing to be fair and the luncheon specials are really reasonably priced. I ordered the sweet and sour pork with white rice, egg drop soup, won ton chips, and Chen's special ice tea. I got to give the meal 5 Stars. The pieces of pork had been individually battered then perfectly fried. A perfect medley of pineapple, onions, and green bell peppers really complimented it. The rice was perfectly steamed and the soup and won ton chips were great! I looked at some of the other dishes being served which looked excellent. My server was all alone taking care of lots of take outs and customers eating. I was very impressed how friendly and kind she was. The service was excellent, considering how busy she was. The ambience was really nice with booths and tables for families. The restaurant was very clean and odor free. The meal I had was excellent and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant.

    The Thai rice noodles were so good!!!! Everything we got was good except the beef stick and ribs…read more The meat of those 2 items were way too tough. I couldn't. But if you want an old school yummy Chinese spot this place is it. I liked it and will definitely order from here again. The crab rangood, Mongolian beef and general Taos were really good. You get a lot of food with each order. You choice of side and the dish.
