I really was hoping for a good experience but unfortunately that didn't happen. The minute we walked in it reminded me of the American buffet that was previously there that was messy and unorganized. The table spacing was a bit tight which was a bit frustrating cause it was hard to get in and out with my mom's wheelchair. The service was good and everyone was nice but the food was not very impressive. I was expecting the food to be tastier but it was kind of ok. The blue crab entree, seafood boil/e, pork ribs, CA rolls, Kimchi, hot n sour soup, vermicelli stir fry was the only dishes that tasted good to us. The Mongolian stir fry station was disappointing as it wasn't very flavorful at all once it was all put together but no big deal. We wanted to check this place out and we did but I doubt we will return. read more

This place is by far the worst asian buffet in Riverside county.. food is flavorless, mostly cold 80% time.. the don't refill the food trays until the last speck of COLD food is gone ... the variety of food is pathetic.. the only thing that kind of keep this place busy .. is the Mongolian section .. but 90% of the time is overcooked because they have a single guy cooking for 6-7 plates at the same time, on the same grill.. that's kind of gross.. the " salad " section is a JOKE .. and the " fresh ??? " sushi is laughable.. you are way better of driving 3 minutes into the next parking lot to the ASIA BUFFET .. 100 times better quality !! read more

Came for the second time and the food was just as good as the first. Service had improved came around on a regular basis to refill our drinks and clear the plates. Had the Mongolian station this time and it was really good! Was too full to have it last time. Line was kinda long to have Mongolian, but it was worth it. Went Saturday night was very busy, but the wait went fast may 20-25 minutes and there was a lot of people. New HOT spot to go to and can't beat the price read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - REVIEWS ON THEIR FB - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

So my son and his wife said lets go try this place i was like hell yes i live asian food and its a buffet. Honest truth the sushi was off the hook. I had salad.wontons. eggrolls. And the mongolian like you chose your ingredients and they grill it up so yummy good no bs and its 20 dollars for real. Best buffet experience in my life read more

The food and service is great. Even though they are pretty packed the service is fast. Also clean.

No CRAB LEGS!!!! Buffet price doesn't include drinks! I don't know why people are giving this place 5 stars lol...they must not know anything about good food. The drinks are small so you have to constantly ask for refills, the soup bowls and plates are small forcing you to keep going back...First and last time here, and guarantee they will go out of business after a year or two. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Someone explain to me wtf is this? Guess they were too lazy not to bread the whole thing - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

The food was good but they claimed New years eve was a Holiday. With a little 3x5 card the no lunch prices and charged us dinner prices for lunch. $20.99 $6.00 more than the posted l for Lunch. then I realized that's why no one was there. New years eve is not a holiday i worked a normal shift and I didn't get overtime but Lin's charged me overtime. Will have to think about going back. Bad policy taking advantage of a me taking my family to a normal lunch day. read more

Nice, clean m, price is reason & very good service. We had a good family lunch here on a Sunday.

What a great experience! The food was great! So much food! The price is great too!! It was clean and the people were friendly! I will be back! read more

Great selection all of it would look very fresh great tasting fun place to host a party

I had a great experience! We went on a Tuesday at about 6 pm. The place was packed but we only waited about 5-10 minutes at the max. Our server was extremely polite and helpful picking up our plates in a timely manner and always asking if we need anything else. Their buffet basically plans the length of the restaurant so there's plenty of space even if it's busy. Their food went so fast but they did a great job keeping up. It was tasty and fresh, with a lot a good options. I'm a very picky person who doesn't like fish and I felt like I had lots of choices. My partner has a more diverse palate so he was very happy! Overall great experience, we will be back! read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - This is a part of their hot items section, it included fried rice, orange chicken, and they even had some "American" options. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

$45 + tax & tip for (2) people for lunch. This place was smoky, unbelievably crowded and very loud & hectic!!!! Literally, people milling aound in all directions. There is no line uniformity. People cutting in and out of lines in both directions. People were standing in lines while eating food. Kids were hovering over the ice cream machine and touching the only few cones on the tray. Thr service...what service! My husband had to go get our drinks because the wait staff was non-existent. The food. Meh!! Tasteless and wasn't good at all and selections were low or empty. The sushi roll station stayed empty our time here except when they put out two tiny rolls for a line of people. I have NO idea why this place is so crowded. They are MUCH, MUCH better places to eat. I call this place a one & done. read more

Went a few days ago only stayed for 30 mins. The food was under cooked or super dry with no flavor. I don't know what they're doing in the back but the cooks need to step their game up. The ambience is nice the service is nice but the food is a 0/10 for me. read more

Second time we went, they were even busier!! The food was amazing again and fresh! I had Mongolian grill, and lots of fun fresh veggies. The veggies were fresh and not over cooked. So tasty I can't wait to take my family again. They had a line out the door. We must have waited 15 minutes for a table. They were really efficient in getting people seated in a timely manner. read more

My sister, her husband and I checked out this place on Friday for dinner. I'd seen their IG post and it looked very good. We're foodies and enjoy trying new places. This place has less the usual Chinese or Asian vibe since it was originally built to be Golden Corral before the pandemic. It's nice, huge, open spread and very bright. The food was okay. The best part was the Mongolian cook-to-order area. Disappointed with their sushi selection and no sashimi offering whatsoever, or dim sum. The steak they mentioned on their insta ad was pepper steak, not American steak. The omission was intentional, I'm guessing. This is a good place for larger groups with kids. There's a good selection of non-Asian foods to choose from to satisfy everyone's palate. read more

Mongolian Grill part is very good. The rest of the buffet is okay, quality of items not great. Taste is average.

Went to this place around 1:30 expecting it to be busy,and it was. Waited about 10 min to get our seats but then we were eating our food within a min or two!!! Great Food,nice people .only part I did t like was not being able to add my own sauces for the Mongolian part of my meal. I asked for very spicey and it was just ok spiced ! Still good little spot read more

3 & .5 service was okay , but what turned us off was that the plates and silverware were dirty upon receiving them. Definitely a turn off. Food was decent didn't care for my usual favorite wontons or the fish. Dessert bar was underwhelming Pros : you'll get full, good price read more

I believe this is a new place that just open In Murrieta and is just the place to go if you want variety of food. From seafood, Cajun, Chinese, sushi different types of soups, fruits and desserts. Just delicious! The place is so big and well ventilated. All the staff from behind the lines to the servers making sure you're doing good and refilling your beverage, to the people making sure the lines are clean and replenish and picking up after the parties leaving the restaurant. For sure our new all you can eat buffet. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Spring roll, egg roll, shrimp some noodles. A little bit of everything. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

This place was such a let down, not a grand buffet to me. I did not enjoy this buffet at all. Salt & Pepper Shrimp: they used easy peel shrimp. Other buffets use the whole shrimp with head. Cream Cheese Wontons: way undercooked, the wonton wrapper was doughy in the middle. They put out a full fresh batch of it too. It was all undercooked. Dessert section: it was a mess, they do not refill or upkeep it, not enough serving utensils Sautéed octopus: very tough, hard to eat Mei Fun: bland, very dry, I just couldn't eat Wonton: dry, it looked like it was sitting there for awhile. Orange Chicken & Sesame Chicken: they both taste the same. I saw the worker mixing some of the sesame chicken into the orange chicken. Also, some of the items were mislabeled. For example butterfly shrimp and salt & pepper shrimp were switched. read more

Food was good! Everything was hot. It was really busy (Sunday night- holiday weekend) but everything was pretty clean and easy to get to, pretty good buffet! Would come again read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Sautéed mushrooms Garlic bread Fried rice Orange chicken Sesame chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

Delicious and lots of variety of food. It was delicious. It was better than most I've been through.

Mediocre at best. I prefer buffets with fresh food. This all tasted like it was reheated, bland and old.

It was okay. Nothing memorable. The sushi pieces were small and limited. I took one star off because you're forced to add gratuity if you're a family of 7. I get it if we were a huge party and weren't related to each other, but we were a family of two adults and five kids. We always tip anyways. I just don't like being forced to do it just because we have kids. It's almost like we're being punished because we decided to support your business. That was our first and last time there. read more

Went for dinner on Saturday. So crowded but that's expected. Food was pretty good for the price. The service was so so. Mongolian grill was good as well. Overall we would go back. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Salad bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

Had lunch here on May 2nd.we arrived at 11:30 to a room 3/4 full. Here are the pros and cons: Pro. Food was overall tasty but was lacking in some of the entrees needing salt and spices, thin lo mein noodles were very bland for example. The food pans were kept full with the exception of the sushi bar and some of the seafood dishes, salmon was empty for quite sometime. Many chicken dishes were offered, some were grissly and hard. Our favorite was the pork ribs and the salt and pepper shrimp! con: very little seafood items at lunch. Fried fish, didn't say what kind, salt and pepper shrimp, salmon which I never saw as pan was empty, fried shrimp , baby octopus and artificial krab. No oysters, crab , clams etc. I was told that they only have oysters and crab legs on holidays! Service was a bit slow in refilling drinks, but being new it is expected. The cocktail sauce and tartar sauce were at the opposite end of the hot buffet. I was told that they are there as they need to be kept cold. Maybe they haven't heard of a bowl of ice put next to the fish items. We won't be running back soon as the usual items they offer are not much different than other buffets in the area! Ambiance is ok for being so crowded. It would be nice to have young crying kids seated in your glass covered room in the back area. read more

The food was very bland. Weird that it was since Chinese food usually has great flavors. I couldn't believe that even the mussels had zero flavor. You get what you pay for! read more

The Food Here Was Delicious And the Price Was Very Good...The Service From Both Waiters Was Awesome...I Will Not Only Recommend to a Friend I Will Come Back...The Food Selections Was Fabulous...!! read more

The food was great a lot of variety !! Really good service, just didn't come around too often to clear our table and refill drinks but totally understandable when extremely busy.. will definitely come back read more

This place lowkey shocked me. Buffets can be a hit or miss, but Lin's is so clean it almost felt illegal. Plates stacked, floors spotless, everything fresh like they just made it for me personally. The food? Actually delicious like I went in expecting "meh" and walked out in a full-on food coma, no regrets. Definitely the kind of buffet you brag about finding. read more

to be the biggest in the country was shocking. it was not big at all. although with a low price point and having sushi (although a LOT of rice), it didn't compare to any other asian buffet or golden corral. cream cheese wonton & plantains were good though. read more

Although I will say the layout of the restaurant and the interior style is very up-to-date and clean, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place for their food if you are a very discerning eater and have high standards. Basically their quality is very mid level so if you're not a picky eater, then you probably would enjoy this place. read more

Overall, this place was okay it's not better than Hibachi at Temecula or Asia seafood buffet. The service with Cassie was way better than the food. Service was great, very friendly and positive attitude. But the food needs to be cooked more fresh. Orange chicken tasted old. Need to some baked mussels. This buffet is the only buffet that did not have baked mussels. The ambiance was okay. The front people need to speak to customers about cash back because not a lot of people will read the fine print about gratuity. So please have cashier talk to customers and suggest for cash back because not a lot of people carry cash. It was an okay experience. read more

I read the reviews before going today and although there was a lot of negative feedback, I decided to try & judge it myself. They were right. The food is poor quality and either too salty or very bland. It also tasted as if had been frozen for a while. I would not recommend this place. read more

There's a reason its $20 a person. Food taste like a buffet charging $20. Nothing stood out to me and most of the seafood was there just to make it seem like they have good food. Once you try the seafood you know you aren't getting quality. As for the sushi you can just look at it and see how low quality the items are. I guess this is a good Chinese buffet when you don't know any better. Maybe its good for the area and the cliental in the are things its amazing, but for someone who drove almost two hours to try this place its a hard pass for me. Locals seem to like the place based on the reviews but for someone that is from OC or LA area don't waste the time driving over. read more

Came here twice already and every time we've been it's super hectic and busy. The service is good, the staff are always so nice. The food itself if okay, not the best.. probably the last time we will be back here. It's just too busy and the wait time is so long and the food is mid... not worth it. read more

Great new place to eat Lin h or dinner . Very clean , always good fresh food . I always see the team cleaning things up and keeping everything from the food area to the floors all clean . I respect this place a lot . Fare prices and tons to choose from . Second time coming in and it's still holding up nicely. Will recommend coming in and giving them a try .. read more
