Chef Lin

This review is for the lunch buffet. (I’ve never eaten here at night) I love this buffet. It has a wide variety of Chinese dishes with only a few non Chinese entrees. The dumplings are good and the spicy dishes are very good. Also have sushi for those so inclined.

Very good array of Chinese food. Items are fresh and tasty. Plenty of sushi rolls but no Nigeri
Service is good and the place is clean. I would return again.

My family and I all enjoyed the wide range of food here. Service was excellent and prompt, but the person preparing the sushi seemed slightly annoyed when asked what each contained. I would recommend labels for ALL the food. Other than that we had a great dining experience and we will be going here more often.

Here is the deal.
They jack prices on the weekend by 2 – 3 bucks on the buffet.
Prices go up after 3 or so for dinner menu. This adds ribs and crablegs. both taste good.
The stir fry grill is HORRIBLE. They only have non-​English speaking Mexicans and they basically overcook the food so much it is not edible… skip the stir fry.
The primary reason I go to the restaurant here is for the chicken Buffalo wings. I will load up 3 dozen or so and drink my iced tea. If still hungry load up the shrimp. Very easy to get your 10 dollars worth (lunch price with tea) if you are semi hungry. Good Soft Serve. Good Sweet and Sour chicken. The beef and broccoli and other «Chinese» dishes have little flavor… they have no idea what chicken powder is or starch.
Not as good bang for the buck as Emperor of China but they have the best wings on a buffet in the city.

Chef Lin is just your average cheap Chinese buffet. A few of the foods were just simply bland or tasteless, and seemed to be a bit inconsistent… One piece of chicken felt as hard as a rock, and I think something jabbed my throat on the way down as I was eating fried rice. As far as the inside, there were two flies that kept bugging the life out of me, and they have a few Christmas lights up all year. Other than that, on the inside is your standard Asian patterns and statues, fairly clean it would appear. They were pretty packed out when I went, but it still would have been nice to get a refill on my drink. Not much else to say, you get what you pay for!
Also, I’m not much for sushi, but a few of my friends loved their sushi and kept going back just for more of it.

This is where I go for Chinese buffet. It’s really good and great price.

Eh, there isn’t much to say about Chef lin. It’s a pretty big Chinese buffet with a lot of choices. The main problem is that the food they serve is not very palatable. For some reason, the food just tastes old… a lot of the time it isn’t cooked all of they way through. I also don’t like the price… I feel that it isn’t suited to the quality of the food. You’d be better off going somewhere else.

we drove an hour from blue ridge to eat here, we had moved up here 2 months prior and were shocked at how few chinese places they were… we decided to go here and were amazed HUGE buffet DELICIOUS food and SUPER cheap. LOVED it.
…until about 3 o’clock in the morning when I threw it all up…
so disappointing I was really hoping that this place would be the ONE.

My boyfriend and I have been here before to eat in, which in my opinion still is overpriced, but last nite went in and got it to go. First of all I didn’t see any prices anywhere and the guy handed us a divided styrofoam box to fill up. I had to ask for soup cups and he told us if we put anything else in them he’d charge extra. So I could barely close my box, got my soup and then we checked out and our total was $ 21.30! I couldn’t believe it. No drinks or anything. Then when we got home, my boyfriend found a hair in his food! Disgusting! I don’t think we will be going back here anytime soon.

Great buffet place where you can get a great bang for your buck
lots of sushi and crab legs
very reasonably priced
