Ok. Stop the presses!!!!! As a lover for some good egg foo young, finally a place where the gravy is brown and not that deep dark soy sauce gravy. If you like egg foo young like I do and Gen X, you know the gravy is brown. For the past decade or more, the gravy has changed and became some nasty salty dark soy sauce at a lot of Chinese restaurants. You can find the brown gravy at old school restaurants but they are hard to find nowadays. But I found it at Lin's Kitchen. Not only is the gravy brown but it's the perfect brown gravy. Not over salty. Not too much corn starch thickening and it isn't dark soy sauce looking. The roast pork egg foo young I ordered was delicious and perfect. The beef and broccoli extra extra extra spicy was delicious too. Finally when asking for spicy, the food is actually spicy so thank you for this. The fried pork dumplings were delicious too. Plump and the skin thick and fried perfectly on the bottom. The dumpling sauce it came with had a nice flavor. The general tso chicken was good. It's just your typical general tso's chicken. How am I finding this place just now. Someone needs to kick me. lol read more

Heart officially broken. 10+ year faithful consumer of the steamed pork dumplings. A recent change in recipes to include something resembling/reminiscent of cilantro requires an official parting of company on this specific dish. Otherwise, all good with the garlic eggplant and wonton front. read more

I've been ordering from here for years. To be honest, they are the best in my neighborhood consistent. Clean. Great service. The food hasn't ever tasted greasy and heavy. Been going for years. read more

Best takeout I've had since I moved to Jackson Heights. I have ordered pickup twice through Grubhub and have been so please with the service and food that I am walking over at least once a week now for my Hunan chicken. The woman at the front is always very nice and will always remind me to grab extra sauces on my way out. read more

Lin's Kitchen - L4. Hunan Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Came here to get some appetizers. When I entered, the place is smaller than King Wah on Northern Blvd. The place wasn't busy when I entered as the restaurant just opened. I saw there was a take-out busboy coming in and out for orders. The tables and chairs were full of condiments and utensils. After making my order, the cooks were fast and one was making dumplings. Shortly after making my order, another customer came in. Would come in again. read more

Absolutely disgusting !!! I would give negative stars if I could . They don't even deserve 1 star . This restaurant did NOT serve fresh food !!! Chicken is discolored and Carrots are spoiled too . ..Completely tinged with dark mold spots . Please look at my pictures !!!! I just ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables in garlic sauce . And the chicken and carrots were completed tainted /spoiled . I was in horror to see the chicken was discolored and the carrots were all tinged with mold. Please see my pictures . I pray to God I don't get food poisoning, I only ate a few pieces of broccoli from my dish and threw it all away . I was reading other reviews and several others said they were hospitalized from getting food poisoning by eating tainted food from this place . Please stay clear of this place for your body's sake !!! read more

Unfortunately, while the staff is very nice and the prices are affordable. The Sichuan chicken was bland, thin and flabby. But the low mein noddles were pretty good. Some of the veggies has spots on them, not sure that was about. I didn't experience food poisoning or anything like the other reviews said. But it's certainly an interesting place. read more

I like that they have fresh choi sum when I get Chinese veggies with rice. They are great with delivery and have other tasty options. Sometimes certain dishes have a lot of oil, but the ingredients taste fresh and yummy. My family visit often for chicken and broccoli on white rice. I have also ordered on seamless and not had many issues. read more

Don't get the sesame shrimp. Oddly huge balls of dough with a tiny bit of baby shrimp in them. The other food seemed generic though! Friend got the chicken and broccoli and she really liked that. Just had my hopes up for the sesame shrimp, they're better off just subbing for baby shrimp, I'm scared to order that again anywhere :'( read more

Their Combo Chicken Lo Mein is very tasty. I order from them via delivery for lunch very frequently and am satisfied with the flavor and portion. It is like comfort food. read more

Update March 2019: No more, Lin's. The past few times have been really, really bad. The quality has really gone downhill. Last time our food arrived quickly (as always) but the General Tso's was a bit cold. Within two hours of eating, both of us got violently ill with what I can only attribute to food poisoning. This place was our go to for over 7 years - no more! read more

I wish I could give zero for her behavior. The woman on the phone is very rude as others have mentioned here. She has zero customer service. She will just talk over you and start talking real loud. They don't need anymore of my money. read more

I'm on a mission to find the best Chinese food in Jackson Heights; a similar mission is underway for Grandma Pizza. Staples of my life apparently. For what it is, Lin's deserves four stars. I got hot & sour soup which was standard and beef with Chinese vegetables. The vegetables could have been of better quality. I'll keep looking and will adjust this rating should I find greener pastures. IMO this fared better than Peking Kitchen solely on their meat quality. read more

The spring rolls are delicate, tasty and golden flaky crust..... the spare ribs are fresh, meaty and extremely juicy and tasty......

The Chinese food here is decent. The typical chicken broccoli was not greasy and salty. I'm trying the cheese wonton cause other places are good. The staff us friendly and fast service. Try it for yourself. read more

Easily the best thing I ate in all of 2019! I order from Lin's almost once a week and pretty much get the same thing every time (Pork Egg Roll, Crab Rangoons, and Spicy General Chicken with White Rice, and sometimes a can of Coca Cola). Tonight on New Year's Eve was their fastest delivery yet in barely over 10 minutes! As usual, the food was super hot and fresh. What more can I say? Love this place and will continue to order from them all the time in 2020! Lin's is the GOAT! I am a true believer. read more

Had been ordering from this place for years now and it was ok, but now that they just re-opened....OMG.... it was AMAZING, the food is at another level, is really, really good. My family & I enjoyed the food so much. The sesame chicken tasted so good that left me wanting more... the pork over rice was outrageously tasty, the Buddha's delight for my vegetarian daughter was delightful! I highly recommend this place! Keep up the excellent job Lin's Kitchen read more

First off : everyone at the counter is SO nice. The lady who always gives me my food is SUPERRR nice. This restaraunt is not stuck up unlike New Peking. 5/5 for service 4.5/5 for food: Kung Pao chicken, it's good. Seasame chicken is great! Chicken with Broccoli is good. Crab Rangoons are very good, chinese style a bit too oily though. Hot and Sour Soup is good. Egg rolls are okay. Fried rice is good as well. Spare tip ribs are good. Boneless ribs are a bit too sweet. read more

I love their food, but whenever I order through seem less it's always wrong. When I called to say the other was wrong, (they sent me sesame chicken instead of General Chicken) they told me it was the same thing, only difference is the sesame seeds. I told them that I didn't want sesame chicken and they were annoyed to resend the order. When the delivery man showed up he wanted the original order back. Not my fault they made the mistake. Customer service needs work! And sesame chicken is not General Chicken. Ugh so sad. read more

Lin's is open, thank God. This is our go-to place for a good, inexpensive Chinese lunch or dinner. But more than that, the owner is a great person. I'm not going to report what she did for us, but it was a generous act of solidarity in this difficult time of police over-reaction and COVID-19. She made two friends for life. read more

*sigh* Ordered a lunch special here. Pros: food was hot and came very fast. Cashew Chicken with white rice - the chicken was not diced, like cashew chicken usually is. Also there were probably 10 cashews in the whole container. They filled it with CELERY. It was literally just a ton of celery and some chicken. WTHeck? Rice is rice. Cheese wontons were ok but overpriced for the quality. Wonton soup - sub par. I have had better from various other Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Lin's is a classic hole in the wall Chinese takeout/delivery place with the lurid photos of entrees above the counter. HOWEVER, they put together very good Chinese food and Cantonese noodle soups. This place delivers (both literally and metaphorically). Also, a free soda with deliveries over $12 is a nice touch. read more

Was looking for a place that served roast duck over rice for delivery. Generally i will go to shun wang on broadway in elmhurst. This place had it! It's not the best but it did the job. The duck here wasn't crispy on the skin. And the pieces were cut very thick. But it hit the spot cause it was exactly what i wanted. As for the delivery it came fast! A+ read more

Pretty good Chinese takeout place in the Jackson Heights area. Recently with new ownership. I always get their Cantonese style dishes - Roast Pork over Rice with $1 extra veggies. It's not as good as getting it in Chinatown... but gets the job done when I'm in the mood for it in the neighborhood. read more

Wontons were particularly good. Decent general chicken. The only fa was the egg roll which did not seem fresh and was discarded. Hopefully this place is consistent on future deliveries. I did not realize it was in huh or I would have tipped more for coming to Astoria. read more

Ling Kitchen is the best Chinese restaurant, The food is tasty and well prepared. I love the vegetable Lo mein, they are so friendly.

Good, quality, local Chinese take out. I have tried a couple of others around JH, but Lin's Kitchen is consistent, which is really what you need. The place is not fancy, and has the standard take out menu w/ your standard lunch specials. I recommend you try it out. read more

Always my go-to place for a quick fix. Really fast and tasty. Mostly never have to wait for my order. Friendly neighborhood shack.

I have always ordered from Lin's Kitchen for delivery. The person taking the orders is always very attentive to any changes I request for the meals I want to purchase. The delivery time is amazingly fast! If I place an order at 5pm the food is at my door by 5:15 latest. The food is always very hot and very tasty! The food is very well seasoned and cooked. It is a pleasure to eat food from Lin's Kitchen. read more

DO. NOT EAT HERE!!! Do not order from this Petri dish of a restaurant. I was hospitalized for food poisoning eating here. I am 100% this place hospitalized me!! Really bad food poisoning STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!! read more

Order for del. a lot. Went to store on 12/30/20. I noticed the cook and the helper NO masks to be worn! Why??????? Lady taking orders was wearing a mask. My opinion she looks like the boss; let her employees that handle food wear NO masks? Food very good. This is a major health issue in the world! I was a Health Inspector major fine or close store? Sure the owners would not be happy? Boss make sure all employees wear masks handle food and cook the food. Very good coustomer. Thank you. read more

Best Chinese food in Jackson Heights. I've tried lots of things off of their menu and they have all been delicious. I've never had any one there be rude to me, they're actually all very nice. My only complaint is that they don't take credit cards! And they make decent bubble tea which is always a plus :) read more

I live in the neighborhood and Lin's Kitchen is my go to! Its hard to find a really good General Tso's chicken but my search is over! They have it in mild, medium and spicy and I'm Thai so i go with spicy! Its delicious and saucy and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! The shrimp version is good too but the chicken is my jam! They have a huge menu so I'll try to branch out and see what else is good another day. read more

They're food is okay. It could be a whole lot better and fresher. The woman on the phone is rude and short tempered. She doesn't know how to describe the food there. So dissatisfied with the customer service. read more

Don't bother. 1 hr 25 min. No food. They keep saying 5 more min. This will be the lAst time I order from this pLace.

Terrible . My chicken and broccoli w. garlic sauce that I orded didnt even look edible. The chick was extremely soggy, the broccoli tasted raw, and it looked like they gave me scraps of the sauce. NOT TO MEITION , the deliverly guy said he was infront of my house so me not taking my time rushed to my front door. NO ONE IS THERE. Call the guy back ad he claimed he was here at the moment he arrived. -___- read more

A solid Chinese fast food place. Food is consistent and quite good. It's kind of awkward eating in because the place is pretty small, so majority of their customers are from pick up or delivery. They also have an online ordering website which I think is pretty neat. Everyone there is working very hard to make this place stand out from all the other Chinese fast food places. They are doing very well, especially on a place like 35th Avenue where shops come and go every few months. (Trust me I know - I live a block away.) It's also open quite late. All in all, this is a decent fast food place. I recommend it when you're craving some cheap take-out. read more

Service is always fast and courteous. Food is pretty good too. My go to Chinese delivery spot.

Finally some good Chinese food around here. Just when I was about to give up I found this place. Amazing food the general tso's chicken is one of the best (I ask them to make it extra crispy). Scallion pancakes are great too. This place is a must try. read more
