I know I have passed this place many times but had never stopped. My parents came into town and I thought this would be a good place to go and something different. They have good prices and something for everyone to eat. The place is large with a lot of seating. I was most excited to see the squid as most of them still had heads on, and I had never had that before. They have a nice dessert selection. We all enjoyed our food. I do plan to go back. read more

Most buffets are usually mid to average but when a buffet is newly open and it's this bad it's a problem. 1 The front host ladies are super unfriendly. They can be more polite in greeting customers and responding. 2. The food choices are eh. But it does not taste good all. Either really sodium filled or really freaking sweet when it's a savory dish. Also the fruit bar almost every fruit was not ripped. The dessert bar just a bunch of frozen items left out to thaw. Sushi bar almost completely nothing in display or half cuts are served. Let's just say social media is overly filtered by what they show. 3. The ambience is just a smaller Chinese buffet set up isn't really "grand" and the restroom is disgustingly dirty. So you know if a restaurant restroom can't be kept up how can everything else. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely NOT! I feel like they need to do a lot of adjusting before serving and half a talk with the front host ladies that's the first people customers see coming I. To the restaurant and tells you a lot about the establishment as well. read more

This is a decent Chinese buffet. We needed one in the area. I went during lunch time and it was clean, the food was good for buffet food, and the waiter was good. It isn't too big, but it has the main Chinese dishes and some other items (pizza, fries, chicken nuggets, crawfish, etc). I liked the beef and broccoli and what looked like spicy chicken. The soft serve ice cream was also surprisingly good and creamy. It was busy for a random Tuesday at lunch time. It was about $15 for lunch on the weekday. If you are looking for a buffet, it is worth checking out. read more

It was clean, well lit, and the food was fresh and delicious. They also have a grill if you want them create your own dish. They have a well stocked buffet with many choices other than Chinese-American. They also have sushi. read more

After driving by this place a dozen plus times and always seeing a parking lot full of cars, we just had to give it a try. We walked in and paid our $20 to gorge ourselves. Started by surveying the offerings, three different hot lines, a salad area that I don't think anyone touched while we were there, a small sushi section, a Mongolian grill area in the corner, and then finally a little dessert area. Started with a sampling of the hot foods, most of the chickens are very average but the pepper beef was pretty good. I also enjoyed the cream cheese puffs. Most things were labeled, I wish the labeling would have been a little bit better, but they did list allergens on it which was nice. Next up was the sushi line, you could probably just skip this. Mostly rice with a little bit of fish, even when you grab some extra sashimi fish to throw on top, it's still very average. Mongolian grill was pretty good, I like that you can pick your own ratios of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp as well as some vegetables like peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and then throw in a yellow noodle when they cook it all up. The noodles a little firm but the use of garlic and oil that I put on made this one of my favorite dishes. The other thing that was really good was the ribs in some sort of sauce. I saw someone order a steak so I figured why not do that too. I asked for it medium rare, and was pleasantly surprised when despite it being only about a quarter inch thick, it was indeed medium rare. Nothing amazing, kind of like a flank steak, but decently flavored and tender. Wrapped it up with a desserts. The vanilla soft serve was good, a lot of the other stuff you could just skip including what looks like a chocolate cake ball but is pretty dry. The purple spiral thing was probably the best there I tried. Forgot to take a picture of the dessert plate, sorry for that. Overall, for 20 bucks you get quite the meal and it's really up to you how you want it to make it work. There were things we didn't even get around to trying like the crab, the crawfish, the shrimp you have to peel, and a handful of other dishes. It's solid for a Chinese buffet, but from a service standpoint I never did get my water refilled. For now it's new and clean inside, we'll see how it stays over time. I'm not in a rush to go back, but I'm open to the possibility. read more

Went here during grand opening weekend (crazy I know) - while crowded they still were able to handle it accordingly with fresh food! A lot of options , but I judge a Chinese buffet if they have good basic food: beef & broccoli at the Mongolian grill, basic chicken & broccoli, and good Chinese fried chicken wings. The chicken & broccoli at this buffet was one of the best I had. So was the beef and broccoli at the grill. The fried chicken wings were unfortunately lacking. They only had buffalo wings - not what I would expect at a Chinese buffet. Service was great for a busy night. The lion dance while eating (two shows within 1hr) - could've been a shorter show or outside. All in all.. not sure if I'll be back, unless fried chicken wings get on the menu. read more

We decided to visit Lins for a family birthday and they had your standard Chinese buffet options. Good and clean establishment, a bit on the smaller side. Daniella was our server and did a great job anticipating our needs and making sure our table was cleared in a timely manner. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Mongolian/Hibachi Grill - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Worth a try if you're close or in the area (located in Cypress)! The buffet wasn't anything special, to be honest. It's good if you're local to it but definitely not worth the drive. The foods were definitely fresh and had sushi and even grill options. I will say, their crawfish wasn't that good. Very bland. The service was decent and buffet was very new and clean. read more

My experience at Lin's Grand Buffet was good overall, mainly because of the food, but the service at check in took away from the experience. When I arrived, the girl at the front named Zaniya was very rude and had an attitude from the start. I told her I needed a table for two. She then mumbled something about drinks, and when I replied yes, she responded with an attitude saying "Yes what? Water or soda?" I was confused because she never clearly asked that question to begin with. After that, the girl with red hair also gave my wife and I attitude, which made the entire check in process feel very unwelcoming. Despite that, we did not let the service ruin our visit. The food itself was delicious. I especially loved the pineapple chicken, which was easily my favorite dish. The buffet had a good variety and most of the food was well prepared. The dessert section was disappointing. The quality was not great overall, with only a couple of items being decent. The ice cream tasted very artificial and was not enjoyable. Overall, I would definitely come back for the food, but I would not expect welcoming service. Hopefully this is something management can improve, because the food deserves a better first impression. read more

I don't think anything here is good. It didn't feel fresh. Some things I just literally couldn't chew through. And it's not that big. U also have to pay first and then wait for your number to be called and that could be a while. I do not recommend. I would not be shocked if I get a tummy ache later today... this is a very small buffet... I'm not sure why it's advertising largest. Is it largest chain maybe?? I do know but I'm never coming back. Also there was like no air flow and it was incredibly hot and muggy. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went during their grand opening and got to watch the lion dance. It was so fun and I think everyone had a great time. Price is affordable and the place is clean and honestly it doesn't look like a Chinese buffet at all. Food selection could be better and most of the items were a little bit on the saltier end of the spectrum. My favorite had to be the cajun seafood-- the seasoning was PERFECT. For a buffet, you can't beat it. I died when I saw the soft serve ice cream at the dessert station. I think it's been well over 20 something years since I've last seen a buffet having soft serve. It's usually those ice cream cups that don't really taste like ice cream at your typical buffets so I was quite excited. The point I deducted was after coming back with my ice cream, I saw my entire table cleared out. And so did my Touchland hand sanitizer I had left...All was gone. Waiter apologized and everything so it's a learning experience. read more

This is a typical Chinese buffet. Nothing super unique but everything is done correctly and cleanly. The food is fresh and hot and nothing seems to sit out long. The service is very attentive and kind. The space is large and plenty of seating. I would definitely come back again for those nights I don't want to cook. read more

Heard about this online so stopped by. It looks new and was clean inside but was definitely way smaller than I had expected. Went on a weekday for dinner and there weren't any seafood options like crab legs. Typical Chinese buffet options but still a good option. Service was nice. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Interior - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place was horrible. We arrived at 11:30 am. The food was cold. The rice was dry with no flavor. People started coming in around noon so I waited to see if the food would be hot. Was only warmer. We decided to go to the grill to get special made grilled food so it would be hot. We got noodles wif chicken pork and beef. Something was spoiled. Worst buffet ever! read more

We heard about the grand opening of Lin's on a FB group and had to stop in! We made it in for the lunch price ($14.99, however dinner and weekend price is very reasonable as well $17.99) and it's such a great value and the food is wonderful! We started off with some Mongolian bbq, which was fresh made and delicious. Their sushi and sashimi selection makes the price worth it alone! So delicious! And all the hot dishes - Chinese food and some "American" staples were all very delicious and fresh as well. The restaurant is bright and clean and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We can't wait to come back, the value is unbeatable and better than other Asian buffets we have been to in the area! Service is great as well, plates are cleared timely and water refills are timely too! read more

Crawfish and shrimp had no flavor ! Fried rice was a bit hard .. sweet and sour chicken was HARD! Everything else I had was average ... only thing that I had that was amazing was the Lomein . read more

Lin's on 6 is open. Expectations at buffets are lowered for myself. The food was good I enjoyed the sashimi, salmon and hibachi grill. The place was incredibly clean and the service was on point. If they can keep this level of service and cleanliness, they will become the talk of bear creek. read more

Excellent selection and excellent value Very clean fresh food and service perfect always I visited 5 times and looking forward for the 6th . Thank you read more

Lins is good for its price my parents in law took me for my birthday and is apparently their go to spot and you really can find some exotic foods I'll cut my review short but all in all can't complain. read more

We had DD delivery which was great, arrived hot. I had such high hopes for Lin's but most likely won't order it again. Portions in the large dinner were very good, and I immediately thought the S&S chicken was fried way too long. It was so over fried that the chicken inside literally looked like over dried jerky. I couldn't even try it, it snapped apart when I folded it in half. Beef broccoli had a good flavor but had a bit of slimy texture. My husband thought his chicken and broccoli and white rice was good. I don't like to make an opinion only after 1 try, would maybe try it again - maybe read more

Lin's Grand Buffet is a solid choice when you're looking for good food at a great price. The location is convenient, and parking is easy, which already makes the visit stress-free. The food quality is fresh and delicious, and one thing I really appreciate is that the buffet items are always hot and constantly replenished. You never walk up to empty trays--they do a great job keeping everything full and presentable. There's a wide variety of options, so everyone can find something they like, and the hibachi grill is a nice bonus. Being able to choose your ingredients and have them cooked fresh adds extra value to the experience. The service is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is welcoming--perfect for families, but also great if you're just stopping by for a quick lunch with friends or loved ones. Overall, Lin's Grand Buffet offers great value, consistency, and variety. Definitely a place I'd return to when I'm in the mood for a reliable buffet experience. read more

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food at Lin's on N Hwy 6. There is a huge selection of salads, fruit, entrees and desserts. Everything was fresh and delicious. In addition, the restaurant was very clean and I am very particular. Service was impeccable and all the personnel were friendly as well as efficient. We most definitely will be returning. BTW, we went for lunch on a Saturday and it was already packed at 11:30am. read more

Food was good. I normally don't do buffets but this one is new and food was fresh; Location is clean!

The food here is good and the service and ambiance. I haven't done a Chinese buffet in a long time thought I would try it . I was impressed a lot of choices to pick from the food is rotated out because it's so popular so you're not getting food that's been sitting out all day . A little pricey at night but the quality is there and after 7pm there could be a wait . I've been here twice now over ate that last time lol . I still haven't tried everything I've wanted to yet. It's worth a try read more

Quantity is there with unlimited food access, as far as quality now that is not. Food is mediocre if that, nothing tasted hot and fresh. Service for drinks was slow and not friendly staff. Inside looked clean. Not our favorite and would prefer quality vs. quantity. read more

The food was delicious for liking, the owner always check on you to make sure everything is okay

Went there around 12:50, big mistake. The line of people was out the front door and just a mess of humanity. Once you get to a register to pay, they give you a ticket number that you have to bring to the station calling numbers or it's my understanding you're not in line. Lots of food on the menu. Not bad but nothing blew me away. Great sushi options and a grill station no one seemed to be using. The servers were polite and constantly working their areas. I did see some dirty cutlery in a few of the holders so managers need to literally clean that up. read more
