Lin’s Grill

This was my second time ordering the hibachi chicken (all white meat) with brown rice. It was fabulous both times! Huge portion and so good! Highly recommend it. Also got the orange chicken extra spicy with brown rice for my son. He liked it and the portion was huge!

I’m knocking my review for this place down a review. Too much onion, the food is bland, and wonton soup aside, nothing I ate was really good.
There was one dish I had that had WAY too much flavor. I got a roast pork mei fun dish, and it just looked terrible, by the way they prepared it and the way it was served. The pork did not look cooked, and the noodles had way too much salt and pepper on them (so it appeared, and it made it very uneasy to eat). Not to mention the entire dish was coagulating from one part of the tupperware to the other. Very unappealing.
I don’t think I will be ordering here again after these bad experiences, but that’s why you have to try something, so you know for the better.

You will never go wrong with the chicken lo mein! Flavorful and so yummy. I’ve ordered it about five times now and the quality has always been excellent. Lins is my fave Chinese joint in Manassas.

Some good, some bad, Sesame Beef is on point (they raised the price though.), don’t order the mongolian beef, its literally 99% onions 1% beef.

It was good… the general Tso’s was not crispy enough, or even spicy… at all. It took 50 mins to get here and I live literally right behind the shopping center. Might try again.

Ordered shrimp chow mein, got shrimp with rice, and a small pocket of fried noodles (for soup) on the side (why?), thought chow mein should come with noodles. This wasn’t the first time it’s happened, highly suspect they gave us someone else’s canceled order, again. The dish was salty, full of msg. Our other order, steak with veggie and rice can’t compare to the quality from a couple of weeks ago, the steak was chewy and lacked flavor. Another one bites the dust…

If you are looking for fresh cooked chinese, this is the place to go. I would suggest getting any of the Hibachi grilled plates. The veggies are fresh, the portions are huge, and when you order the shrimp, you get 3 skewers! The shrimp is a large medium size, cooked on the grill so it has that flavor that you want in a hibachi style meal. I will go out of my way to eat here. All of the other chinese places really dont compare to this one. Trust me, give this place a try!

Food is good enough to fill your hibachi cravings, and won’t give you a migraine. I saw a customer put their special yum-​yum sauce (the pinkish sauce) plus siracha sauce over the lomein and I tried it myself — wow! it’s actually good. My mom was craving for mami (noodles with soup and meat), so we tried their noodle soup — it was good too — it tasted like Hototay. I usually get the chicken bowl, hubby likes the one with steak and shrimp. I recommended this place to my officemates and they liked it too. I can also depend on them for potluck take-​outs

Just ordered take out from here. Finally found our go to Chinese food place!!! They use fresh ingredients and No MSG! Which is very important to us. Everything was amazing and huge portions! Other reviews keep saying that take out portions are smaller, but I can’t imagine them being any bigger…
We ordered General Tso’s chicken and General Tso’s tofu, Veggie lo-​mean, crab Rangoon and veggie spring rolls. Everything was perfect and tasted delicious. The only some what negative would be the spring rolls were a little greasy but still good.
If you are searching for a great Chinese food restaurant look no further! We especially love that it’s healthier for you and tastes amazing! And the restaurant itself was very clean.

Food is good but my order is always missing something and I always remind them and they still do the same thing. Every time you want to speak to someone you can barely understand them. Im aggravated and I don’t think I will be ordering from them anymore.
THEY NEED CUSTOMER SERVICE ASAP

No matter where I live I have to find a good Asian style take out. In Manassas I have found two that are pretty good. Lin’s is the best of the two.
The food itself is very clean, very rich in flavor, and always cooked correct. Out of the many times I have ordered from this business I have not once been disappointed.
If there was a down side it would be that the store itself is quite small. However it is always clean.
Try out their hibachi bowls. My favorite is steak and veggie.

Well the search for a good Chinese place in Manassas continues. This place isn’t horrible, but not great either. I guess I’ll keep driving to Empire in Woodbridge.

Second time eating here, first time was okay got the combination lo mein and the szechuan beef.
This is the second time and got pork lo mein which is good and fine but i am extremely disappointed with the lemon chicken (very disappointed in the way it was presented/​value).
All they did was put 3 little chicken strips cut up over lettuce. That is the dish. The whole container is filled with lettuce with 3 little strips of chicken on top for $ 11.50. Has me seriously annoyed like cmon now. Definitely will never order it again. Probably will not be back to lins after this either. If you want to go to a great place that does every dish good visit golden king in sterling.

The place is so clean and visually appealing for a carryout. Everything I’ve had has been really good and fresh. The price is right and the service is tight!
You really can’t get much better for chinese carryout. I wish it was closer to my house.

The food is very good quality and fresh. For a small restaurant, it’s clean and spacious but there’s nothing about this place that really makes it different from any other hibatchi/​Japanese food place.

This little Chinese takeout is kind of hidden. Menu has all the regular items/​plates you’d see anywhere else. Not much different than any other place you’d go to. Food is definitely in bigger portions if you dine in. This location is very clean compared to most places which is a plus.
BTW there is a $ 10 min charge for credit, so bring cash if your order is not going to be over $ 10.

I really like consistency and this place is just that, not to mention you get free spring rolls w/​a $ 20 purchase. The general tso’s chicken w/​fried rice has always been my go to. They’re timely and the portions are good too. They’re cream cheese wontons aren’t the sweet tasting ones either (for which I’m pleased) like other restaurants serve. They offer brown rice as an option if you’re health conscious as well.

I had the chicken and steak rice bowl and it was great! A lot of rice and I preferred the steak over the chicken.

Ok this is my update/​edit to my original review. I had to deduct a star.
Going to the hibachi steakhouse can be expensive. This place is sort of the in-​between.
On my first trip, I tried the hibachi shrimp, and my friend ordered the chicken and steak. Overall, $ 9 or so in change was not a bad price for the servings they gave us plus a drink. No complaints on value for sure.
The shrimp was tasty (#22), no complaints there. You can tell the shrimp has either been frozen, or defrosted and got a little mucky, but thats just texture I guess. The steak (#20) was also decent meat. Its no filet mignon, but for the value, its impressive quality. The chicken was meh, some fatty pieces, some good pieces, but the steak and shrimp were really better quality. The menu is pretty big for a small place so there’s plenty else to try. I am sure some items will be hit or miss, but from what I tried, I am satisfied. I tried the Mongolian Beef today and I was VERY disappointed. I posted a picture. Essentially for $ 10 I got 90% onions (to which I am allergic… I realize that it is in a lot of food, and cooked onion I can bear since the acid content has been cooked out thoroughly and I can pick them away from most dishes without incident) and 10% shredded beef. I can’t believe we paid for that. At least the sauce was good and I just dumped it over my rice and ate it that way instead.
Still, its no Panda Express, thank god, whose food is dry and under heat lamps. You can see them cooking it. I was not blown away but I was also more impressed than I expected to be. This is a good lunch option, or budget option for hibachi. Its in between the sort of higher end Pei Wei and lower end Panda Express. A good median, I would recommend giving it a try but just realize some items will taste like run-​of-​the-​mill food court food.

Yeah! I’m a. fan, seriously. I love the chicken and steak combo bowl and then I get that red/​pink sauce they have off to the side no drizzle that all over it and find myself in my own sort of heaven.
All orders are cooked as they come in so expect a 10 minute wait at least but At least you know it is completely fresh and piping hot even after you drive it home and sit to chomp down on it.
I should probably try something else but I am so in love with their take on teriyaki and the fact they are one of the only places around doing them
