China Lin

I picked up my food Friday night. It was so bad. I didn’t finish nor touch the rest. Really sucks. Hoping for good Chinese food. My dogs didn’t even touch it. That’s sucks.

My family and I often call in pick up orders to go from China Lin. It is consistently delicious. The food is always freshly prepared and appealing. This small "mom and pop" restaurant is one of our frequent go to places to pick up supper. My husband and I always order off the menu, but our son likes to pick out various choices from the hot bar that is available at the counter. From the hot bar, you can choose a side of rice or lo mein along with three different entrées out of about 10-12 options for around $10 per plate. No matter which entrées we choose from the menu or hot bar, the food portions are very large. We always have plenty to eat for supper and enough left over for lunch the next day. Most of the entrees from the menu are around $10-11 each. An egg roll costs around $1.59.

I wouldn't even give a star if I didn't have to . The wontonsoup smelled like dog food and noodles were plastic / kids slime texture. The hot a sour soup wasn't even anything. Beef and broccoli playdoh texture. We took one bite and threw it away immediately.

So, I have been in the area for three years but never tried this because I have to be in a certain mood for takeout Chinese food (I don't get drunk, but this is perfect hangover food for most people). After checking for authentic food items like Mapo Tofu or house made dumplings to test my theory of this being Amerinese food or not (standard Chinese food in America - check out the documentary, "Searching for General Tso's Chicken" to find out more about why most Chinese takeout restaurants have the same menu), I decided on a dish that tests sugar content and ingredient freshness and how plentiful. As expected, the sauce was very sweet (to satisfy the American palate), and they didn't have more authentic Chinese dishes. You get a good portion which is what people want, sometimes more than

This place is great! Whenever my family goes they always give great service! And the food is amazing!
