I had an order for pick up. The young girl at the counter was super nice. Food was piping hot and yummy. I had the sour soup and the wanton.

I've never been here before. I was visiting the valley for a few days, and my buddy told me that the Chinese food here was good. Decided to give it a chance. Walked in the place was empty but smelled good. Ordered a Broccoli and beef and a combo fried rice. Costco bout 25buks. Waited for about 10 minutes, and the food was out. Got the bag, and it was heavy. Got to Mt buddies house opened the bag and both to go orders were packed to the top. Broccoli and beef 8 out 10 Combo Fried rice 9 out 10 Service 8 out 10 Only reason beef and Broccoli got an 8 was because it seemed like it had a lot of sauce, but it was still good. I'd def come back good bang for your buck

My first time here and we will be back! As you can see in the picture the portions were great even had leftovers so managed to bring that home to ready the next day. Service was great, we were the only ones there which I couldn't understand because the food was delicious. Tables were a great height for me and my wheelchair.

Great Chinese food, probably my favorite in the area. Plenty of chicken and rice to last you for leftovers. Delicious savory sauce on the sesame chicken. The crab Rangoons didn't taste that fresh but were good. Will be back

My family and I have ordered to go from Lin's Express now several times, and we have always had a good experience. The food is cooked fresh when you order. So plan on being there for a few minutes while they prepare it; it's worth the wait to get fresh hot delicious food. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are very generous. We are six adults, and we ordered four entrees, and had plenty of leftovers, almost enough for another entire meal. I have not been inside to be able to comment on cleanliness, but I can say the outside drive through is very well maintained, and what we receive is neatly packaged. If you want sauces such as soy sauce (I always want more) you need to request them. Our family is a fan of the "crab rangoon", little fried pouches with mostly a cream cheese filling that is slightly sweet. We have tried them at various other places and in the past, and Lin's Express has some of the best. The service is friendly, and I send kudos to the lady who took our order for her patience. I was getting updated texts from my family, and had to correct something halfway through. They didn't miss a beat. Thank you, Lin's Express!
