Hole in the wall that does an amazing business! We stopped in for lunch. Lunch specials all cooked to order. Soft drink or egg roll comes with it...two choices for soft drink-regular or diet. They don't even say what kind but it turned out to be Pepsi. Don't go asking for a diet sprite, lol. Service was great, prices reasonable, good food. read more

She does it right, everything is overfilled, fresh, you get your money's worth. She's always there with a smile. It's worth the drive. Thank you for cooking dinner for me!!! read more

Did some research on Reddit and Tik tok and it landed me here.... I haven't even finished eating and I had to post a review. The vibe is classic 90s take out- the inside is what you expect it's clean and the people are so friendly. I ordered the orange chicken and rice and the general chicken along a some egg rolls... Do yourself a favor come to Lins- just do it. Fresh- delicious- family... everything you'd want. read more

Went to Lin's House on the recommendation of a neighbor. It's a little tricky to find this, as it's not seen from the Publix side of the plaza on San Carlos. Once in the parking lot, it's on the left side of the grocery store (as you face the front). We had thought we were in the wrong area at first, so we drove around the store and found other businesses, including Lin's House. Rest assured, your GPS will take you to the San Carlos address, you will be in the right spot; you just need to go towards the Summerlin Bridge side of the building to find it. The front door and windows are colorful with inspirational drawings and food (such as a dragon, chop sticks on a bowl, some sort of blossom trees). As it's right next to a "tiki" Mexican restaurant, you don't want to get confused as to where you're about to go. Once in, the place is the size of a usual small eatery. It's mainly used as a to-go restaurant, but there are a handful of tables and chairs there so you can eat in. It was clean, well lit and didn't have any odd smells (dirty or gross), considering there are multiple restaurants not only immediately attached to this one, but also in the same parking lot. Weirdly enough, McDonalds is literally 100 feet away, so once we got back outside, we were hit with the smells from that specific fast food place. The owner greeted us, as it was rather slow at the time we were there (for lunch). We took a few minutes to look over the menu and decided what we want. One lunch order of General Tso's Chicken with pork fried rice and one lunch order of Sesame Chicken with pork fried rice, please. As this was a lunch order (for $9.95 each), you get a can of cola with the meal. I don't know if this is normal, but the owner asked us if we wanted an egg roll instead of the cola. She didn't explain the reasoning, but there was no upcharge for it either. It's a nice add on, the cola, but we didn't really think we wanted it. So when we were given the option to swap it out for the egg roll, we did. Again, I don't know if this is normal, and there was no added fee for it. One of the things the woman did mention, was that it would be a few extra minutes because she had to make the egg rolls. In season, they have an over abundance of the items prepared, but once summer arrives, they don't make as much because there's not as much foot traffic. Prior to Ian, the owner stated they were packed every day. They had so many regulars that came and ate with them. It was busy from open to close. But once the hurricane came and destroyed a lot of the city, including this location, people left. They don't get the stream of eaters they got before. If I recall correctly, there was something like 80 per cent of the revenue has been lost because there's not that many people around. It might have been a referral to the beach location. I don't remember. She said she's been doing this for over twenty years and had a location on the beach. We talked for another minute or two and our lunch went to be made. A rough wait of 15 or so minutes, the food was packaged and handed to us in a bag. There is a small 6 drawer plastic desktop cabinet of sorts on a table next to the counter. It's one of those stationary supply boxes that holds pens and such. Except this holds forks, spoons, chopsticks, soy sauce, duck sauce and mustard. Each in their own drawer. That has to be the smartest thing I've seen - it keeps everything neat and tidy and you're not reaching into a cardboard box or cup for what you need. Once we got home, we opened our hot packages and found an immense amount of food. No wonder why we were told "enjoy your lunch and dinner" when we left. There was enough chicken and rice, that we had plenty left over. The great thing was, it wasn't full of just rice. There was more protein in the box then there was starch. I feel like there was two scoops of rice and the rest chicken, compared to what other Chinese restaurants give out (more rice than anything else). That was super nice to see because you often wonder where the other part of the meal is. Both chicken dishes were crisp and very hot (oven hot, not spicy hot). The sesames were almost evenly distributed over the chicken and the General Tso's sauce was pooling enough on the bottom of the container, that each piece of chicken was able to get coated. This was when it was spicy hot as well. The General had a good kick to it but it wasn't a "too hot. Can't eat it. Must throw it out" hot. It was subtle enough that you didn't realize you might need a tissue soon. We definitely enjoyed the lunch special (which felt like a "feed a family of 4 special") and will more than likely be back to try something else. The only downside is there was no fortune cookie in the bag. Not a deal breaker, just a surprise. They must not give them out, as you're getting so much food. That's fine; we would rather know we're full and happy than have one more thing to put in our mouth. Thanks! read more

Lin's House is the best Chinese food we've had in Fort Myers. We always get the egg drop soup, crab wontons, lo mein, and shrimp fried rice. Their fried rice is absolutely divine. The service is always prompt! It's also a clean place with traditional ambiance. We love ordering online and you can get it delivered. Prices are good, too! read more

Food was good. Exactly what you'd expect. Great service. It was hot and prepared quickly

DELICIOUS and plentiful! You will not go wrong by stoping here, and you definitely won't be hungry afterwards. Very pleasant and friendly service. Very accommodating! My husband always says no veggies with everything he orders. So she made the fried rice without veggies. Egg rolls were so good! I might have to stop and get some for my flight home. We'll be back every time we return to Ft Myers Beach. See you in November! read more

Best place to eat in town. Fresh food at good prices. The owner and employees are so nice and attentive. The place is 5 * clean.

Food is always good and they prepare to order for those with allergies this place get that and will accommodate you. We love this place because once we arrived as they were about to close and they went back inside and cooked us our meals. That was astronomical in these days where some places act that we are the lucky ones to have them there. Whereas Lin's House felt like family welcoming us and presenting us with our favorites vegan dishes. read more

First time here, as an ex Chicagoan we are always on the hunt for good pizza & Chinese because it barely exists in SWFL. We tried a place in Naples that people said was great & it was meh, this place has great reviews & we ate there, just a couple tables it's mostly pick up but the people were non stop coming in. We had egg foo young, egg rolls, pork fried rice & shrimp chop suey. The big test was the egg foo young because no one seems to do it right, they did, it was amazing! The woman that took care of us was great, forgive me you told us your name! We will definitely be back when we get a Chinese food urge & we will not go anywhere else! read more

Service was fast & courteous. I ordered chicken lo mein, General So's, Egg Rolls & Rangoons. I did not care for the egg roll, all the other was good, I am not used to the darker sauce in the lo mein or General So's. What we call red sauce was pretty dark, I am used to it being lighter at the Chinese places in Ohio. It was good just not as good as our local place. read more

This is the best Chinese food in SWFL!!! Not only is the food amazing but the customer service was phenomenal! The restaurant has such a welcoming atmosphere. So if you are looking for a great dinner choice this is the spot! read more

The people are nice the food is okay nothing great! Just average food. Nothing special

Small Chinese place in a strip mall that is low on ambience but scores high on food quality and service. The owner lady is so kind and cheerful! We ate on site and she gave us free bottles of water and checked on us multiple times. Most people coming in were takeouts and that's what I would do next time. Definitely recommend the food. read more

Have been a customer at Lin's Garden and Lin's House for twenty years, at the beach location and current location. The food has always been of a great quality level and plentiful. The service is outstanding for both in house and to go orders. Today I drove 45 minutes one way to enjoy an excellent meal with my out of town friends. Worth every minute. read more

First time trying this restaurant with 41 five star reviews. We ordered for delivery, the PuPu platter to try most of the appetizers; the eggroll was OK; the fried shrimp had so much breading it was hard to know what it was; the crab Rangoon were deep-fried (?!) and tough. The rib tasted old, reheated. We ordered a couple "can't go wrongs", but the Egg Foo Yong was tasteless and mostly egg, and the General Tsao's Chicken - ordered extra-extra hot, was just sweet; one piece of chicken had no chicken. Lastly, the free pork fried rice looked like it would be good but had no flavor ... tasted like fried. We will not return. read more

I first tried this place right after they opened and I was not impressed. I'm so happy I gave it another chance! Chinese takeout in Ft Myers is limited and usually disappointing... but this will be my go to in the future! Wonton soup and lo mein are both amazing. read more

We were really excited to try based on yelp reviews. Ordered take out and waited as it was prepared. The employee, owner?, who took our order was very friendly and included 2 spring rolls with our order. We ordered 3 dinner combos which included fried rice and an egg roll. As we were waiting for our order, we overheard the employee tell a customer they didn't have any white rice currently. Ok. Odd. The food looked great and was plentiful. The spring rolls and egg rolls were completely fine. That's where it ended for us. My husband loves fried rice. The fried rice was like nothing we've tasted before. Very hard, very dark, and odd tasting. Inedible. The General Tso chicken had plenty of sauce. Unfortunately the chicken had so many layers of breading on it and hardly any chicken. The Beef Pepper Steak again looked nice but the beef had a very odd, spongy, consistency which was not good. The Kung Pao Chicken again looked nice but the flavor of the sauce was not good. I have never thrown away Chinese food but I knew there was no way I could eat any of it again. So disappointed. It all went in the trash. read more

Fast service and Nice sized portions and a wide variety I would eat here everyday if I could She is so kind and very organized Will definitely be returning and telling others read more

Amazing service and food! Definitely the best Chinese food in fort myers, if not Florida!

We had the special fried rice and BBQ ribs I was given two spring rolls as my perk for being a new customer. This is a small place but was very impressed with the food! Will return as all the food was fresh, down to the rolls! read more

Just ordered the sesame chicken lunch combo and a chicken chow mein lunch combo and was very pleased. Food was fresh, hot and there was lots of it. Menu says lunch is $6.95 for the entrée and it comes with pork fried rice and a can of soda. Didn't get a soda but instead was given a very tasty homemade egg roll. The sesame chicken was very tasty as well with meaty chicken chunks tossed in a slightly sweet/savory sauce. The pork fried rice could've used a bit more veggies and pork, but it wasn't bad. My husband said that the chow mein was "clean" tasting, and delicious. Plus, there's enough for two meals in each lunch. All in all we had a pretty good lunch here. We'd definitely go back again. (BTW, I didn't get a pic of the chow mein because he had already dived in before I got to the table.) read more

Lin's House - Sesame Chicken with Pork Fried Rice lunch (L7). Enough for two people! - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Egg rolls they were tough as though they had been sitting for awhile or frozen and thawed a few times the flavor was odd but that just our opinion. As for the main dish we had chicken Chow Mein and Shrimp fried rice. The chicken chow mein had small strips of chicken, bok choy and celery in a chicken broth, wasn't a fan expected more vegetables but this must be the way they Lin's make it, it was fresh though! Chow Mein noodles were different puffed french fry looking noodles? The Shrimp fried rice was the best part of meal the quart had about 7 medium size shrimp. read more

We have only gotten carry out from Lins once but I was super impressed with the quality. Really great shrimp fried rice.

I'm perplexed by the ratings of this place. The spring rolls were bad. The general tsos had zero flavor and wasn't spicy in the least. The pork dumplings were bad. The beef and chicken were mediocre. When the best thing we had was fried rice and crab rangoon, that's not a good sign. Avoid. Find other options. read more

Tried this place recently for carry out. Ordered online w/simple menu choices. No sit-down recommended. Portions are large & quality is good. Egg foo Yung is excellent in 5 varieties. very good - 3 patties instead of two & plenty of gravy. Fried rice is best in the area. Tried both pork & shrimp varieties. The pu pu platter is expensive but has nice variety. Prices for most items are low to moderate. Flavor and value are excellent. Recommended! Wish they delivered to Lexington. Will be back to try white chicken dishes and soup. Diana is very friendly and appreciates the business. read more

We always get our Chinese from here. They are so friendly, the food is always hot and delicious.

This place USED to be good. The fried rice is mushy and over soy sauced. The entree was meh and the white rice was a big clump mush. They changed cooks and it shows. read more

Like this place very much! I've been coming for about four years! First, they adapted well to Covid, which I greatly appreciated. They stayed open, but clearly were concerned about safety. It's easy to find something great. We typically order the same things,and they are always ready on time, flavorful, and Lynn herself is a very warm nice person. read more
