Lins

Note restaurant closed for remodeling as of 5.7.16
Yay for more dim sum in Memphis! Lins is clean and modern with friendly servers and hot dim sum. The chef changes it up weekly and you can special order items not on the cart. The congee is especially flavorful with pork scallions and duck egg. My favs are the sesame balls the shrimp hagow and shu Mai. The prices are very reasonable and they also have a full Chinese menu available if you want more than dim sum.
Note they take reservations for large groups and for next Sunday which is Chinese New Year. Happy New Year!

My mouth is watering just thinking about the delicious food at Lins. Crab Rangoons that are light and crisp and taste like more than just a hunk of cream cheese… I’m sold! I got lemon chicken and fried rice for dinner. The lemon chicken was bursting with lemon flavor and the fried rice tasted like it was fresh off a hibachi grill. I was very impressed with the flavors. The service was very friendly, and the amount of food was worth the money, too! I think this is my new go-​to Asian restaurant!

This is actually not a strong three star rating. Maybe more like 2.5 or so. Service was fine. The place was empty at 1230 on a Wednesday. The food generally was hot and seemed pretty fresh but nothing was good enough that we would come back. Asian palace and New Asia are better on everything we tried. Plain and simple. Egg roll, not great. West Lake soup, bland. Dim sum, just ok. The dim sum is priced a bit higher than other places and was actually skimpy on fillings. Overall it just didn’t do it for us. Unlikely we would go back but it wasn’t the worst food I’ve had either.

Great restaurant, great foods, and great services. We had dim sums (they provide all-​day dimsum) and several traditional Cantonese dishes, like roasted duck, and lobster with ginger and green onion. Love this place

Hit this place after church on Sunday. I was impressed by the atmosphere — clean and modern.
We were greeted on arrival and immediately seated. Plenty of booths in this restaurant which I like. My wife noticed that of the 50 plus guests, we were the only non-​Asian guest. I took this as a good sign and probably raised my expectations some — I was not disappointed.
I had the Mongolian Beef with sticky rice. The beef was tender and full of favor. It had just enough spice for me — would probably be too spicy for my wife. The lunch came with a Spring Roll which arrived after our entrée — it was hot and crispy on the outside and came with a sweet dipping sauce.
My wife had Roasted Noodles with Chicken — the chicken was moist and tender. She really liked the flavor although I wanted to add some «heat» to the dish. The presentation was interesting — it came in a Pyrex style glass baking dish. The noodles under the chicken were soft and moist while the noodles near the edge were crisp and crunchy. She did not care for the crunchy ones but I liked them.
Upon leaving I noticed they had a water feature by the entry — nice touch that I missed on our arrival. We will be back and next time we will spilt an entrée — portions here are sizable.

The food was alright. I ordered the steamed pork buns, shrimp dim sum, stuffed fried tofu (the best out of everything), and fried sesame balls. My boyfriend got general tso’s chicken with a side of fried rice. The waitress was wonderful, and kind. The food just wasn’t that great, but good. I wouldn’t go again though.

I used to go get dimsum at New Nam King on Summer. Then I went to the overwhelming dimsum at Asian Palace. Although all were very good, they pale in comparison to Lin’s. The food was delicious, very fresh, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming! I was impressed to find this gem! Try the pork congee! It’s wonderful!

Services extremely slow and disordered! Dim sum tastes like 3 days ago! Get out of there before you get sick eating the leftover reheated food!!! Disappointed!!!

Love the food it is authentic and the flavors are great. My husband is Chinese and he say this is almost as good as his mothers. Great service and nice and clean place. The food is awesome.

The dim sum very good. I like the shrimp dumplings and chicken feet

Update: they have improved service quite a bit, so I have adjusted my rating accordingly.

I was hoping for a great chinese take-​out place that is definitely lacking here in the area, but I was disappointed once again. The space is cool (though this is the 3^rd restaurant in this spot within a 18 months), the service was out of this world. They were super friendly and accommodating, but the food was not good! The fried rice was bad… it tasted like old rice, that was reheated and maybe they re-​seasoned it with the wrong seasoning?! It was bizarre. And the sauce for the General Tsos chicken wasn’t good – neither spicy, sweet or anything like the taste of General Tsos. Maybe their authentic dishes are better, but not sure I will return.

Wow! This was a great place to eat. We had a great experience. We brought our 2 kids, 3yr and 6 month and they were very friendly to us and even gave my daughter stickers. The food was great! Very fresh! We had shu Mai, sesame balls, Chinese broccoli, stuffed eggplant and stuffed tofu, fried shrimp balls and coconut jelly (they call it cake). They were very attentive and went above and beyond. We will definitely be returning!!!
