    Sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and pork chow mein.
    Jim L.

    We love coming here. Great selection, good prices, and we always leave full. Highly recommend!

    Updated menu

    Just went for the first time. They've been closed for quite a while. I've got an updated menu which I will be adding which also has updated pricing. This place is seriously way over priced I mean come on really. We will not be back. the food was mediocre. Very disappointed.

    Egg flower soup

    Everything was amazing. Had a party of 18 and our server was great. It was a bit busy for a Tuesday night too. The food is always good anytime I go. One of the few places my kids agree on.

    General Tao Vegan Chicken.  It's delicious, flavorful and very crispy. Worth the price

    General Tao vegan chicken is delicious, flavorful, crunchy, and well worth the price!

    I've lived on the west side of Washington all my life until a year ago. This is the best Chinese restaurant in Moses lake! The front of the restaurant is not very inviting, but once you open that door it's very clean, nice and open. The service was fast and friendly, answered my questions and had great timing when I needed a box. The Bbq pork fried rice had the biggest chunks of pork I've ever seen in fried rice. I like that it wasn't jam packed with peas and carrots, flavor was on point. Almond chicken was my pick for the night, just how I like it! The chicken with garlic sauce had veggies, the sauce complimented the veggies very nicely. Can't wait to go back.

    Mongolian Beef? Maybe...whatever this was it was inedible
    Cameron B.

    Just awful. Reading the reviews, I set the bar pretty low for this one, and still...so disappointing. My order was pretty basic: Mongolian Beef; Egg Rolls and some steamed rice. Mongolian Beef: see the photos. Whatever they gave me sure as heck wasn't Mongolian Beef by any standard. But setting that aside, it wasn't even edible. It was a mix of over-cooked, nearly liquified vegetables, Flavorless tough beef, and a sauce flavored like vinegary dishwater. Just awful. Egg Rolls: see photos Filling was pretty good, but not very well rolled and pretty greasy. Rice: Decent....but, I mean, it's steamed rice. So, terrible food and WAY too expensive (This meal costs over $25). Absolutely not worth it. Go elsewhere.

    General Tso's Chicken from Lin's on 1/26/2010. Notice how much oil there is in the sauce.

    I awarded Lin's 1 star because there was no option to select 0 stars. First off, I normally rate restaurants solely based on the food alone, unless the service is offensive. I am in Moses Lake for work. Thankfully this is my last night. I was in the mood for General Tso's Chicken. I ordered it, along with rice for take-out. Got back to my hotel and open the containers... the chicken is bright red and tastes exactly like sweet and sour chicken. I immediately call because they mixed up my order. I called and a woman (who yelled at someone else in Mandarin) asked the chef about the order. Apparently, the food I got was correct. I don't usually like or eat American Chinese food (since I'm Chinese), but every now and again I do get a craving for it. I ended up going back to the strip mall, but this time to the Safeway, to get what I wanted. The only thing good about Lin's was there was NO wait (no one was in the restaurant), and the quality of the steamed rice was good- it was definitely fresh. I would not go back.

    Food was terrible. I have never eaten worse food. I am not picky, I'll eat anything. Tea tasted like water.

    Rare is the review from me for a take-out experience, but these folks are still stuck in scamdemic…read moremode, like it's 2020. Their choice, so I'll just shake my head and press on. Regardless, their Chin-Amer fare is absolutely fantastic, and we were RVing close by, so this was the (her) choice. One look at their fried proteins will tell the tale. Those were hand-made on the spot, Cochise. Yang Tze Pork had great char sui flavor, and sides were robust and delicious. We ordered from their 'family style' menu, and for $17 per, it was a heckuva lot of food. Wifey kept trying to order some other items, and I had to tell her we were already gonna get pounded with the amount of food we had comin'. The leftovers in my fridge will testify to that little factoid. This small town in the middle of nowhere is quite fortunate to have this family to order from...

    Without a doubt the best Teriyaki chicken I've ever eaten, made in the original Chinese tradition…read more How odd to find this in Connell WA, a small agricultural town (pop. 5,400) that's easily 25 miles from anywhere else, in Eastern Washington. It was Saturday and the lunch buffet was $10.95. The buffet had only six items, which made me snicker. But I'm eating Keto style, so only took 3 items... teriyaki chicken, mixed vegetables, and deep fried chicken meatballs. Oh my God, was I surprised with the flavor of this pairing. We've all had Chicken Teriyaki, right? (...char-grilled chicken strips on steamed rice with sauce-outa-the-squirt-bottle. Right?). Well forget that! This was chicken sauteed in a mild-sweet-soy (full of meat drippings, like gravy! It was fabulous! Man, I'm going home to re-engineer that recipe! I love it when you discover some new food-approach that no-one's doing anywhere. This was that moment. And with the medley of steamed vegetables and iced tea...wow, just wow! To the guy from "Nordakota" er "Sowdakota", what are you thinkin?!?! The food at Mei-Ling is delicious, and apparently everyone in town thinks so too! Look at the pictures!

    I'm giving them a 4-star because one of us would have given 3.5 stars but the other would give 5…read morestars. Here's how we stacked up: The food is tasty. It is. One of us would have said slightly better than average casual Chinese food. The other one of us thinks this is some of the best Chinese food in a long time. The service was good. Everyone was friendly and helpful. No disagreements there. The atmosphere - one of us found it at the lower end of casual Asian dining. The other one of us just didn't care. The value. One of us found it very overpriced. The other one didn't care and pointed to how expensive every restaurant is now, while the first one of us wanted to point out that this is priced for a much nicer dining experience (eg, atmosphere, presentation, and even the fairly tasty meal just don't support the pricing). Portions, at least on entrees (we didn't try the appetizers), are pretty good, so that helps. Also, one of us would point out that it's often described as "dim sum," but a handful of pricey appetizers is not what is expected as a "dim sum" experience. By this logic, every restaurant (or at least every Chinese restaurant) could market itself as "dim sum" if it has appetizers, which they all do. That isn't what I expect of dim sum. So, there you have it - we're split. We will return to try the appetizers (aka "dim sum"), but it won't be cheap. It seems very popular and I wish them success, with a few improvements.
