With the lack of quality Chinese takeout in Blue Springs, Lin's is absolutely worth the short drive. Online ordering makes it easy, and the owners are always so kind and welcoming. Our favorites: pu pu platter, Mongolian beef, egg drop wonton, and hot & sour soup. If you're in Blue Springs, do yourself a favor and make the 10-15 minute trip...you won't regret it! 谢谢 (siâ-siâ AKA thank you)

This is one of the only places I can get honey sesame chicken though, so I continued to go here to order that from the menu. I hadn't been for quite a while due to a medical issue, and it turns out, I should have stayed away. From the moment I parked, it was a hot mess express. There were not enough handicapped spots for the # of businesses in the strip mall for starters, but that isn't really the restaurant's fault. On the plus side, they have redone the seating since I was last here and it was decently comfortable, but that's where the positive comments will end. The smell that hit me when I walked inside was horrendous, not a great start. I asked for a menu and the young women appeared VERY put out that I wanted to order from the menu; she kept saying "buffet" over and over, and I kept saying, "no, I need the menu please." I wanted to see if there was a combo for the honey sesame chicken. She finally brought over the menu and there was in fact a combo for the HSC, but all of the prices had been marked out with a sharpie. I pointed to the combo I wanted and asked how much and she gave me an odd look and raised her shoulders like she didn't understand me. I figure I was getting it anyway so I went ahead and ordered a coke and the HSC with fried rice; they have also always switched out the crab rangoon for an extra scoop of rice so I asked for that. The young lady took my order and left. A few minutes later, a young man brought me my drink and said. "no fried rice." I asked if he meant I could not sub it and he said "no fried rice, only white in combo." Me: "So let me get this straight, if I order the combo, I can't get fried rice?" Him: "no fried rice, only white rice. No 2 scoop." Me: "So I can't get rice instead of crab rangoon either?" Him: "no no no. No change, no fried rice." At this point I was super annoyed and just said fine, whatever. Just bring me the HSC for as cheap as you can. I'm hungry. The waitress came back with a gigantic plate, overflowing with HSC, and a teeny tiny little bowl of steamed rice, Not even enough for me to get full while sitting there in the restaurant, let alone enough to take home with the 2+ portions of HSC that were left over when I ran out of rice. You can't tell me it is less expensive to give a ridiculously large portion of chicken and minimal rice! I ate until I ran out of rice, never got a refill on my coke (they all ignored our table after dropping off the food), and left (still hungry) with 3/4 of the chicken in a take-out box, knowing I wouldn't eat it unless I bought rice to make. All of this, for the bargain price of almost $30, just for ONE PERSON! Never again.

The lobby area is very outdated and could definitely use some renovations. On a positive note, the lady at the front desk was very nice and informative, which I appreciated. We ordered the kids' teriyaki chicken meals with zucchini only, and I got the teriyaki shrimp and chicken combo with zucchini only as well. The shrimp were the small baby shrimp, and I was expecting regular-sized shrimp, so that was disappointing. Overall, the food was pretty bland. I had to take it home and add my own seasoning to make it better. My grandma did enjoy her meal, though. One thing I liked was that they serve bottled water instead of faucet water that was a nice touch. Unfortunately, between the bland food and the outdated atmosphere, I don't see myself returning

Cash price total for 2 with 8.725% tax was $38.05 whereas it would be 4% additional at $39.58 if using a credit card. The cashier Adolfo was friendly as usual. The food items were filled and fresh which was a nice change from what we had the previous few times we arrived about 3:00 pm when items are basically refilled with newer product and mixed around so not as fresh. The fried chicken and chicken soup are chopped pieces of chicken, not full pieces, like wings or thighs chopped in half or thirds. The fajita mix was good and had a nice complement of vegetables with the chicken bits. Taquitos and chicken on the stick were good as were the fresh green beans and dumplings. Everything selected was tasty though some had seemingly extra salt, but did not detract from the taste. The restrooms continue to be a downside to the restaurant. Many people we have heard and talked to say they always go to a restroom prior to arriving at the restaurant, or go across the street to QT or elsewhere. They do have two sinks in each restroom and bottled hand soap. The restroom stall doors do not close very well, and usually do not lock, and the restrooms overall definitely have an odor. We enjoyed our visit to China City on this day and recommend it if you can arrive close to the opening time in order to assure fresh items. When they are fresh they are excellent and delicious.
