The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients, and it doesn't have that heavy MSG aftertaste that many places do. One thing I really like is that the dishes are served in smaller portions. It makes it easy to order a variety of dishes and try different flavors without over-ordering. Even after ordering several dishes, the total bill was still very reasonable and offered excellent value for the quality. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can say that's one of the best service among most Chinese restaurants in LA. Pretty recommended for a decent dining

It's a good idea to order the chrysanthemum tea alongside your meal to help soothe your palate.

Finding the place can be a little tricky at first, as the entrance is tucked away at the back of the building right by the parking lot. It's a fantastic, authentic find once you know where to look.

Mild Sauerkraut Fish Soup with tofu skin. Very large portion. Came with some dried red chili peppers on top but the soup was mild and had great flavor. Plenty of thin sliced fish and tofu skin noodles. Chopped fermented mustard green mixed in provided the sour "sauerkraut taste". Very very good Mapo tofu, simply prepared tofu in a sweat inducing chili sauce. Great over hot rice Sweet and Sour Pork Spare ribs, super moist and fall off the bone tender Spicy Boneless Chicken feet, REALLY served boneless! There were a few small bone fragments in there but 99% boneless. Numbing chili sauce with crunchy texture cartilage goodness. Cucumber chunks provided a cooling crunch with each bite. Crispy Fried pork strips, crispy pork strips served with ketchup? and chopped crushed red pepper Garlic Shrimp Vermicelli , good size shrimp topped with garlic puree sauce over vermicelli noodles. Firm texture shrimp with a good garlic pinch. Soft and tender noodles with a nicely seasoned sauce. A few pieces of steamed broccoli as garnish. Very healthy tasting dish Fried green beans, deep fried with just a touch of charring to add to the flavor. Perfectly cooked to yield a crisp skin but soft inside texture They have lots of spicy options but they also offer mild versions of many dishes as well. If you are not keen on "spicy numbing hot" food then get the mild version. Great sichuan pepper flavor and scalp sweating heat. Sapporo beer to cool the palette. All Really good.
