1. Great food and selection. (For a buffet). 2. South Phoenix (my negative point) 3. Awesome looking dessert (was too full to try) read more

Just an ordinary chinese buffet restaurant. The ingredients used are not that fresh. The buns and soups are one of the better dishes.

I had a group of 17 family and friends and we went to this Buffet, This buffet is one of the cleanest I have seen. The food selection was great and very good. Our waiter was awesome he was friendly and kept our drinks filled through out of lunh. We decided that we will be meeting here once a month to eat and visit. read more

Best Chinese food I've tried in the valley!! I won't eat anywhere else. I am very very picky when it comes to Chinese food, and this place exceeded my expectations! The drive is a way from where I live but it's always worth it. read more

It's generally true that the larger the selection, the lower the quality. That's absolutely true here. Lower quality food than Panda Express by a long shot. My friends said the steak was good, but there was a lot of cartilage in it. I tried a few types of chicken, all of them were pretty bad. Ended up filling up on noodles which, again, lower quality than Panda Express. Everything I tried was wildly under-seasoned and I just felt kind of sick after. I can normally put away an embarrassing number of cream puffs, but I only got one bite into one here before being overcome with disappointment. I love a good buffet, this just isn't a good buffet. read more

Very unorganized from the get-go. When you walk in, there's a line to the door (on busy nights) that you have to wait in to pay. Then you go to another line at the host station and wait to be seated. I'm not a big fan of buffets in general, but if you are, you'll surely love this one. They have every kind of Chinese dish you can imagine: General Tao's chicken, beef and broccoli, veggie delight, fried rice....... You'll even find a few non-Chinese selections, like a salad station, baked potatoes and French fries. The dessert station was pretty weak. Carrot cake, brownies, white cake and pudding. There's also a vanilla frozen yogurt machine, although they don't offer any toppings. Who doesn't have chocolate sauce for frozen yogurt? I really have no desire to go back again. read more

Many selections. I went on Monday for lunch buffet. It is $10.49 per person. Of course, it wasn't crowded at all. Great food for a price!

Beyond disgusting. Food was cold. And old. If you like eating bad leftovers that have been reheated time and time again, you will love this place. Restaurant was filthy. And while we were there the manager actually turned away a party of 5 because they wanted to sit at an 8 top. The restaurant was 3/4 empty and this was Friday night at 6:30. Save yourself and never come here. Can I give it less than 1 star? read more

I have been back 4 times. This is a nice place, the food is fresh, there is a great variety. I like that they have a Mongolian grill, fresh bakery, a small sushi bar and a large variety of dishes. They were quick to get us in and seated. We were served drinks immediately and our waitress kept them full. I was never thirsty. The dining area is nicely decorated and clean, when they get busy, which is daily due to good food and varity of food , it does get a bit noisy, but is well worth it! read more

I was sure to come here a couple of times and give it a fair shot before reviewing. Service is polite but negligent. The pretty girls at the front are very polite but often won't look you in the eye. The servers are similarly polite but often will be running past your table while they drop off your drink. After all, this is a buffet place and you can't expect service much better than that. The food is extremely inconsistent but even on its best days is just okay and never really all that good. I tried the Mongolian Grill and found it to be very good comparatively and thought I had found a reason to actually come here. However, just today I went to put together a plate and found the pork all mixed up with the chicken. The beef is a very strange unnaturally beet red while the pork is pink. There was no doubt that there was pork mixed with the chicken. Unfortunately, for Jews and Muslims or others who refrain from pork, this is a show-stopper. So with the Mongolian Grill (which I acutally liked) now forever off limits, I was forced to try their other offerings. Out of everything, the only things I could stomach were Teriyaki chicken sticks, the chicken and broccoli and the beef and broccoli. The other standard "Chinese restaurant" fare like Kung Pao beef tasted like detergent on one day. The next day I tried it, it was a little more palatable but still not very good. After seeing the pork so carelessly mixed up with the chicken at the Mongolian Grill counter and with the overwhelming majority of the buffet items unpalatable, I will probably not come here again. read more

This is one of the better Chinese buffet restaurants out there. The food was very good and very fresh and they do a pretty good job of keeping everything clean. Even during the Friday night rush. My only complaint is that they need to lower the temperature. It's way too hot with all of the people there. By the way, if you're looking to try something a little out of the ordinary, try the baby octopus. I thought it was quite good. read more

I've never been a fan of Chinese buffets and this place did little to change my mind on that. I was hoping to be wrong as we were greeted by a 30 minute wait for a table. Heck, this many people can't be wrong? Ummmmm... Standard Chinese buffet food but nothing imaginative or inspiring about this one. It was a nice touch to see a steak cooking station but I had to order it 3 times before I actually got mine and it still wasn't cooked right. All in all, I guess it's what I expected for a cheap Chinese food buffet but I won't be going back again. read more

i prefer buffets to a la carte restaurants, and i love lin's! their price is out of this world given the variety of food. and the locals know it's a bargain, because every time i come, the entire parking lot is packed around noon, and you see cars circling for a space. because of the amount of patrons, the food is fresh. (i think lin's usually opens at 11:00, so if you come then, you can avoid the parking hassle). i usually just skip the rice and load my plates with fresh salad and the meat dishes. everything's is yummy, and the taste of each dish, while not top notch, is distinct from each other. my favorite is the sweet bbq pork ribs. and i usually leave some room for their fresh baked cookies and ice cream. the staff is also very friendly and respectful. thanks lin's! don't change! read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been wanting to try Lin's since they built this location on Baseline. It was always busy, so I assumed that it must be good! Wrong. The food was mediocre at best. While it was fresh and hot, it was also bland. The only decent thing I tried was the veggie spring rolls. Everything else tasted like paste. The atmosphere if you want to call it that was terrible. It was extremely loud and there were children running everywhere. I almost lost several plates of food due to some kid charging to the ice cream machine. The price was outrageous for the quality. Next time i'm in the mood for some Chinese food, i'll go to Pan Asia down the street! At least there I can have a tasty meal with flavor and there won't be kids knocking food out of my hands! read more

My favorite buffet! Best selection and frequently replenished

Today I'm eating at Lin's my sister in-law suggested it to me. And right off the back I can say it looks beautiful inside. The service is good not great. It's really busy today. And I was still setted almost instantly. My waiter is so patient and kind. Shows real respect. Even though my 2 little ones made a mess. She still showed compassion and patience with us. The food is fantastic. I would come here again hands down. Such a lovely restaurant. Definitely can say family friendly. Highly recommend read more

Soooo, we are travelling cross country and stopped in Phoenix for the night and want a good buffet. Well, we both left dissapointed with this place. Here's the rundown: -variety=8 -ambiance=5 -cleanliness=5 -quality of food=2 The food was leftover from lunchtime so it was very dry except for the perpetually wet stuff. The sushi was horrible and dry until they made fresh Cali rolls but they were below average at best. Enchiladas looked dry, ribs look like "ehh". Just a lot of sub-par quality food. Oh yeah, raw shrimp were medium shrimp with poop vein and shells still on. This place will fill you but its not a eat here again type of place. Dinner was $12.99 with drinks costing extra. ps, their website photos are fake, thats what sold me on going there. read more

customer service was great. food was terrible. overcooked weird textures. I usually eat anything. this place is terrible though. the food was so bad. never again read more

Best Buffet i have ever been to. I normally hate buffets but a friend took me here and i was not let down.

Look. I hate to admit I even go to buffets from time to time but this is actually a pretty decent Chinese buffet. The employees were all very friendly and they were very attentive, the food was actually very flavorful and very good, it has Mongolian barbecue and a sushi station. The upside to this buffet is that you can eat as healthy or as bad as you would like. For a Chinese buffet in a marginal area of town is actually remarkably very clean. It is definitely worth checking out. There's no way to give a buffet five stars so this will get a solid four star from me. When you take into consideration the price you really can't beat it. Sidenote; I went there at 3 PM on a weekday. read more

This is my go to Chinese buffet. Atmosphere, selection, quality. Mongolian grill, sushi, it's all fresh and the place seems very sanitary to me. My kids like it and they are picky about where I take them to eat. read more

Pretty cheap option to eat endless food that's of both good selection and quality from appetizers, through entree, and even onto dessert. Gorgeous vaulted main dining room with plenty of seating; even on a Saturday at dinner time the wait was less than 10 minutes. Sushi bar accommodated extra seaweed salad that was not on Buffett line due to vegetarian dietary restrictions limiting selection. Overall good experience! read more

I am giving Lin's 4 stars as a 4 star buffet, not a 4 star restaurant because I think there is a big difference. It's not cheap but a decent value. We paid $52 for 4 adults for Sunday dinner, including 3 fountain drinks. Although it was busy when we got there around 5:30, there was no wait. When we left at 6:15 the lobby was full of people waiting to be seated. The place is very pretty and feels a bit like a Vegas buffet. We were seated upstairs, which was nice as we were further from the noise and chaos from the lower level where the food is. The selection of foods is huge. I had a small piece of steak cooked to order and it was very thin but tender and had good flavor. The boys had several different pieces of sushi and said they were "alright." My favorite surprise was the fried sweet bananas. I am sure we will be back and make this a regular go-to place when we can't agree on what we want. read more

Decent enough food for a buffet. It's about average. I would have said it was top notch except that I found another buffet in town that has the same offerings at a higher quality. read more

This is probably the worst buffet I've ever been to. The food was horrible. The service wasn't too bad the waiters were actually pretty good at bringing us drinks. The sushi selection was bad and the rice on the sushi rolls was hard. Hardly any good meat selections, the food entrees weren't tasty and had weird combinations. Definitely wouldn't recommend eating here. read more

I love this buffet. It is very clean and there is a great selection. I love this place for a team lunch during work time. It's close to the office, quick, and easy. They are very accommodating for a big group. I have 10 people on my team. They all loved it and had a blast. I think the best part of coming here is that you don't have to wait. You get your food right away and there is more time to socialize. I will definitely bring my team here again for lunch. read more

Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of buffets. However, we were excited to try this place when it opened. We went on a Sunday night before 5pm. When you walk in you must pay for your food right away. Then you wait to be seated. We waited over 20 minutes. The restaurant is busy with a high turnover and the carpets were dirty with food scraps. The food is all sub par. Not good at all. For sushi I tried a roll with cream cheese and a sliver of green pepper. Yuck! I tried the chow mein noodles- Yuck! Panda Express is about 100% better. Tried the sweet sugar roll and it was stale- Yuck! The cream cheese wanton had an old grease taste.- Yuck! In fact the only thing edible was the broccolli and the bananas in a red sauce. A total waste of $45 for our family to eat there. My husband and I agreed to never go back. That being said my 12 year old son loved it.... go figure. read more

Have been here several times, good food several choices, good for lunch and dinner. Soups, slats, sides, main dishes, desserts and sushi. I always go for sticky buns, hot wings, sour soup. Waitress always nice. read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Good - Buffets Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

This place never disappoints me. Always super busy, but the food is some of the best buffet food I have personally experienced. The Baseline and 34th street location has such a wide variety of Chinese and American cuisine along with salads, fruits desserts a Mongolion BBQ and a bakery. The staff are attentive of course keep in mind it does get packed. The only reason I gave it a 4.0 is because my companion had the oysters, but not up to standard. If you don't like oyster everything else is on top especially when you consider dinner is $12.95 a person. read more

This eating place had a wide variety of foods to choose from. Scrumptious and delicious. Many types of chicken, seafood, veggies....not bad. If you're hungry and like seconds or even thirds then this is da place! read more

I used to like this place. Quality of food is not good and not much variety anymore. Very limited desserts. There were no Crab legs! I will not come back. It's sad because this is very close to my house. I might just take a nice long drive in search for better food! read more

friendly wait staff clean facilities high ceiling make the place feel more spacious decent selection will be back read more

My boyfriend went to here and threw up a few hours later because of the salmon sushi that he ate. He said that a piece had black on it, which is a sign of already rotten blood. This was probably the result of toxins in the fish, time-temperature abuse, or cross contamination. read more

Not bad for Az! The price is cheap, the food is pretty good and the best buffet I had so far in Az. Service was nice and on point cleaning up our plates and refills. It was very packed and felt cool being the only asians there lol. I would probably go there again with friends and family or parties. read more

We really like the selection and different choices of food. They have sushi,stir fry as well...the only real issue I have is the temperature in the restaurant is always very warm so it ends up being uncomfortable to stay for very long...also alot of their food items that are supposed to be hot are mostly Luke warm to cold at times. The cold bar seems to be quite messy most of the time with some of the salads having a really bland or lack of flavor. The price is rather high so if your on a budget probably not a good choice. Overall it is a decent place to eat every once in a while. read more

Lots of food made fresh. Hate the cattle herd feeling to get seated and the general feeling of being overwhelmed with boards of people eating like there's no tomorrow (myself included). Prices are good and the place is very large, so the waits are pretty short, if you like this kind of vibe. I don't think I'll be back. Going to stick to Panda Express or my favorite authentic Chinese restaurant, Great Wall. Sometimes, less is more! read more

If I could give no stars I would. The service was fine and we were seated in a decent amount of time. But when it came to the food, it was so disgusting and the only good thing on the menu is the chicken that's on the skewer because it actually tasted fresh. Tried to give everything a fair chance with the salad to the fried rice and even pizza. The pizza itself was doughy and not even cooked all the way through. I ended up sick once I got home due to the under cooked and under whelming food. We were really hoping for a solid review because it's a close place that would be convenient but this is clearly not a place to go to for solid, food especially food that is edible. read more

Better than an average Chinese buffet for sure. I like that the chicken was crispy and everything had great flavor. Sushi not so good though. read more
