Lin Garden Restaurant

I AGREE THAT THIS PLACE HAS FALLEN OFF OVER THE YEARS. STILL THEY MAKE WICKED GREEN BEANS SAUTEED IN PEPPERS AND SPICES AND ONIONS. THE CHILLI CHICKEN IS HIT OR MISS. WE NORMALLY ORDER IT TO OUR OFFICE FOR BIG MEETINGS AND IT IS ALWAYS PRETTY OKAY.

Disgusted

Disgusting service - don't bother calling in an order. They don't start until they have your money. The Asian lady who owns the place is incredibly rude and the old guy behind the cash is worse. The food is cheap and coated with flour to bulk it up. Everything is oily and the oil was probably recycled from another restaurant who used it for ten years. The place is filthy. Stay away.

Adulterated fish

This is Indian hakka food and although they look chinese, the food served is an adulterated fish. The chicken on the menu is loaded with fat and the most unhealthy place to eat food. I agree with the other reviewer, the food is very oily and use very low quality unhealthy oil. Top it, this is the worst customer service restaurant I have ever seen in my life.

Never going back

I was there with my girlfriend and a friend not too long ago and enjoyed a really nice dinner. We ordered our usual, accompanied with a couple heinekens. The moment we finished our meal, the waiter throws the bill onto our table. We ordered another round of heinekens, they'd take the bill back, add the beers on the bill and throws it back on the table. They never asked us if we were finished and wanted the bill. Anyways, this running around and readjusting the bill happened many times that night. When we were ordering our 4th, maybe 5th round, the waiter tells us that they've sold out of heinekens. So we decided to order a couple of Blue's instead. When the waiter came to our table, he grudgingly places 3 heinekens on the table and had the entire staff kept watching our every move the rest of the night. When we finally decided to pay, we all agreed that with the bad service, the lying and watching us they didn't deserve a tip. I tip according to service, not the 15% everyone expects. Anyways, the waitress came to take the money, saw we left no tip, scoffed and stormed off. Honestly, with service like that, did they really expect a big tip? A separate incident when my parents went for the first time after coworkers kept insisting they try it, they didn't have a good experience either. The second my parents sat down, one of the servers says to them in chinese, "you're not going to like the food." They ignored the comment since everyone kept telling them how good the food is. The servers were all rude to my parents, the food came cold like they just took it out of the fridge, and ignored my parents when they complained about the cold food. Needless to say we've all decided to never return.

Rude Owners lose many customers

After being a loyal customer for several years and making multiple hundred dollar+ orders for parties over the years, I went in to place and pay for a $200.00 order in advance for a party I was throwing. I went in on a Friday and emphasized several times that the order was for Sunday, as the owner seemed distracted and not listening to me. The male owner repeatedly talked over me saying "I'll take care of it." I was ordering and paying for it in advance, as I was going to be out of town for a wedding on the Saturday, which I explained to him. I arrived home Sunday morning to some very angry voicemails (left on Saturday by the owners) saying my food was ready and why wasn't I picking it up. I went right over to Lin Garden, where I was snubbed and yelled at by the male owner. He said that he had to waste all that food and insisted I ordered it for Saturday. He yelled at me and dismissed me when I told him I'd paid him in advance. He insisted that he NEVER makes mistakes and walked away. (first person I've ever met who doesn't make mistakes) I left the restaurant that Sunday...out $200.00, with no food for my party, and in tears. Also, every order I ever made with them was called in the day before and they were told that it had to be ready for pickup at a certain time. Every time, I would arrive to pick it up and they hadn't even started it yet. Last order, I waited almost an hour while they prepared it, even though I'd called it in the day before. Silly me for going back time and time again. (it was good food) These pompous owners really don't care about their customers. Since then, I have told numerous people about this incident and I know several customers who will never return there, myself among them.
