    Anthony M.

    The restaurant is nice looking as far as aesthetics, and the staff is friendly and kind. The food was just not the greatest. My brother bit into a piece of fried chicken and blood came out. The men's room was despicable in the stalls. There's baked potatoes with no butter or sour cream. Overall, for the price paid, this was a very unsatisfactory experience. I won't be back to any of these restaurants, and do not recommend this place.

    Accidentally drove by and decided to eat here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a weekend so price was $20 for adults and I think $13 for kids. You pay first before getting seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was pretty fancy and big, almost felt like I was in Vegas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought they had a pretty good selection and the food was pretty good. My husband didn't feel the same but he's a lot more picky. I do wish they had crab legs since it was weekend. Overall I enjoyed it and would come back again.

    Came here with a large group of residents from my neighborhood & it was my first time trying this place, so I wasn't sure just what to expect. One thing that impressed me is they do have a Senior Discount. They got the tables ready for the 18 of us & we were seated & situated. I was surprised to see they not only offer Chinese food but American food on the buffet as well & I even found Chicken Enchiladas on there! Everything I had tasted good but the honeydew melon was iffy. Just my two cents. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean restaurant & good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will more than likely return.

    I wrote a review a couple of days ago, Beatrice from Customer Service responded, I was asked to call a phone number which turned out to be the phone number of the restaurant that we attempted to eat at, and the manager Linda got on the phone, further upsetting me over what happened! This manager is nothing more than a bully! And why I would be asked to contact her is ludicrous! I am so done with this restaurant, they have caused me more anxiety and stress, all we wanted was to go there and enjoy a meal. I'm going to be 70 years old next year, I suffer from MS, the worst thing for me is stress, and the stress that has been caused by this one manager is sickening.

    Ask the Community - Lin's Grand Buffet

    Is the $13.99 total or are drinks extra?

    Extra, and $13.99 is good. weekends are more $$$. It's clean, outfit is based in Texas, and very good if you're not expecting real Chinese food.

    What are the prices for the buffet?

    $13.99 for adult dinner

    This place is a gem!…read more Our problem is that each dish is better than the next. We think we know what we want to order when we walk in. But, we'll see something new on the menue, and it then becomes our new favorite. ANYthing we order has been outstanding. The service is very friendly and very helpful. They are very accomodating. The atmosphere is not fancy, but it is clean. While eating there, I always say. "I can't wait to come back." Just writing this review is making me yearn to eat there now, and I just ate there two days ago. If you have a favorite Asian restaurant that is different from Old Town Taste, I challenge you to try this restaurant. I am confident it will become your new favorite.

Parking was a breeze and seating was spacious. I like the interior a lot and the service was quite good (seeing that it was only one person taking down the orders and cleaning! very fast for that). For the food, we ordered chicken fried rice, fragrance tender beef, fish-flavored eggplant, boiled fish with pickled cabbage, and dry fried green beans. All of these dishes were yummy, in particular, my parents love the boiled fish with pickled cabbage and fragrance tender beef. I do think there is solid sichuan spice flavor. This is a great place to get Chinese food in Arizona :) **something to note, there might be a heightened salty flavor in some dishes so be wary haha We always visit!

    A Mesa Asian District Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Asian Cafe Express is a lovely strip mall gem near H-Mart in Mesa's Asian District, and after 21 years in business, it clearly has a loyal following for good reason. We brought in a fresh lobster from H-Mart to try their "bring your own seafood" cooking option and chose the garlic onion stir fry preparation. It's $14.99 for anything under 2 lbs and $7.50/lbs for anything over. It came out excellent, served over crispy egg noodles with classic Asian flavors and plenty of wok-fired goodness. We also enjoyed the Peking pork ribs, which were deboned, tasty, and slightly sweet; the stir-fried green beans, which were fresh and well prepared; and the garlic spicy chicken wings, which were especially flavorful and highly recommended. The red bean drinks were traditional and satisfying, with soft, nicely soaked mung beans and no milk. Service was friendly, efficient, and personal, handled by a couple of ladies who clearly know the restaurant and their customers well. While we were there, plenty of regulars came in for takeout and several tables were happily dining in. Overall, we really enjoyed Asian Cafe Express and were surprised we had not stopped in sooner. Highly recommend, especially for the "bring your own seafood" cooking option and the garlic spicy wings. We will definitely be back.

They knew I was "mom" visiting and treated me and my family like royalty! I watched as they greeted everyone with kindness and it was clear they have many regulars! My daughter is now one of those regulars, and honestly, they are so kind to her and I'm grateful they treat her like family. Four years since that first visit, we gave her a choice of any cuisine for her graduation party. She didn't hesitate and requested they cater. The food was outstanding and they surprised us with dumplings as well! The quality and quantity of food was outstanding, we had many compliments and just enough leftovers for lunch the next day! I recommend everyone stop in and give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

There was a QR code on the table that allowed you to order online or if you waited a few more minutes, server will come over and take your order. All of our food came fast... within about 10-15 min. Chow fun had the wok hay ( wok air that makes food taste good) and thick slices of velveted beef slices.

The staff was all really friendly which surprised me because I swear they never stopped! They were busy but still kind and attentive! We ordered the spicy dumplings and the Hong Kong Fried Rice! The Boas were good, but the dough was a little thicker than I'm used to. So I felt full rather quickly! The fried rice however, 10/10 NO NOTES!!! Best fried rice I think I've ever had!! Totally worth the drive. Will be back for sure!!

The excellent chili sauce helped, but I prefer my dumplings to have some seasoning on their own. Service was attentive, although the kitchen was a little slow. Don't go for the atmosphere--what do you expect from a strip mall restaurant? I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I also would try them again.
