Food is mid, service is good, ambience....definitely take it to go. Boneless spare ribs are good

Insanely overpriced slop! $11- $15 a plate for child portions. "Chow main" is NO NOODLES but rather cabbage and half boiled onions in thickened water sauce. We called about the lack of noodles and were told this was what their chow main was... that their chow main DIDN'T INCLUDE NOODLES. This was not what was advertised. We also ordered orange chicken as a whole plate (not combo) for $15 and got 8 pieces of half sauced chicken nuggets, as well as broccoli beef but received mostly half boiled broccoli and a couple paper thin slices of "beef". Will NEVER order from this place again and strongly suggest you take a drive for ANYTHING better. Even McDonald's isn't this cheap Please do not waste your money here like we did. read more

China Lin - I ordered the Beef with Broccoli that came with chicken fried rice along with 2 egg rolls. - Chinese Near Me - Phenix City, Alabama

Great Chinese food to go! I could probably eat here every day. Big portions. And a diverse menu. There is no ambiance, though. No waitstaff; just the cooks & the cashier. read more

Awful...downright gross. Meat in dumplings actually tasted rancid...same for whatever is in the eggroll. The fried rice has become some weird concoction that seems like they took old steamed rice and add some oil and yellow food coloring to make a mushy mess; it's like no other fried rice on the planet (not a compliment), it definitely has not been fried It's sad too...this place used to be very good. read more

I ordered VEGGIE spring rolls & Mongolian beef & both had shrimp in it. I'm allergic to shrimp. I didn't think ordering veggie spring rolls and beef would equal shrimp/shellfish and an allergic reaction. If I could give this place 0 stars I would read more

Customer service is awful! Ordered food and asked for plates and utensils. The young lady at the front proceeded to get them but the owner said that four plates was too much! He would charge me a dollar a plate. I ordered $60 worth of food. I won't be ordering at this establishment smh! read more

OMFG how is it that a Chinese restaurant in the middle of nowhere makes THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IVE EVER HAD!!! General tsos? FIRE! ... Egg Foo Young? FIRE... Chicken wings? F**kin FIRE...I legit will just try random stuff because they haven't missed a SINGLE TIME since I've ordered there ... meaning... food is ALWAYS piping hot... always ready when they say it is and ALWAYS good af!!! Tbh I'd give it 10 starts if I could! read more

always fresh and hot! we order here every week the owners make sure that they have your order correct

Been searching for good Chinese food since we moved here over a year ago. Finally tried China Lin and so glad we did. It's just what we were looking for. Much better than the other Chinese places around here that we've tried, but doesn't beat our favorite where we came from. So, 5 stars for the area, but maybe 4 compared to our previous favorite. read more

We ordered takeout and didn't get half of our order. When we went to call in they weren't very much help. I would recommend dining in instead of takeout. read more

I'm never eating here again, the customer service is horrible! I ordered takeout and was missing half of my food. The woman working there began to tell me I don't know what I ordered and that she actually charged me less than what she should've. My receipt showed that I paid the full amount, but doesn't show what I was charged for. She then told me there is nothing she can do about it. read more

Best chinese takeout I have had in columbus-phenix city area. You can either eat inside or takeout, the orange chicken and fried rice is one of my favorites. The price is very reasonable, you can feed a family of 4 for around $20. read more

We used to like this place because the food was fresh and hot. The last 3 times we ordered over the phone, lady taking order was rude saying "HURRY UP, WE BUSY" our order always consist of at least 5 lunch specials, or 5 dinners depending on the time we go. I ALWAYS get the HONEY chicken, no Broccoli. I quit asking because I think that when I ask they alway put extra in the dish. The last time they sent me General Tso, I can not eat spicey food. Also 1 of the lunch specials was missing and had to go back to get it, no sorry, claimed we didn't order it, but it was paid for! If you order by phone you can bet that it will be screwed up. If the wife is working , turn around and run. Rude, condescending towards you when you point out her mistake. One time the husband said that when we get back to pick up what was missing, he would give it to us for free, She threw a fit and said we were trying to steal their food. We live about 12 to 15 miles away. I will not use a food delivery service, because if it's wrong, she will probably charge a second delivery fee. I can tell of more screw ups, but I think you get my drift! read more

We've been ordering delivery from here for over three and a half years now, but we called tonight and were told they don't deliver anymore. Half the time the delivery guy was late and not friendly, but the food was good. Now that we can't fall back on that for nights that we just want to be lazy and stay in, we'll likely not order again. Hopefully it's only temporary. I imagine there's a lot of business they'll lose. Side note, the crab rangoon is on point. read more

We ordered deliver from China Lin to our hotel (Hampton Inn), and had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Kung Pao was very good, as was their pork fried rice, crab rangoon, fried dumplings, and I even liked their egg rolls, which weren't overloaded with sour cabbage. I would definately recommend them and order again. read more

Best Chinese food for take out or delivery in the area. They even have healthy steamed options!

I took a shot and it was a hit. Good food and fast service. Will not disappoint!!!!

The flavor is a bit off on some of the more authentic dishes. The people that work there are nice. I just had the hot and sour soup and Singapore noodles. The Singapore noodles had too much five spice. The hot and sour soup didn't really have the hot or sour. I might go back and try something else. My usual is King House. read more

Well, I thought I found my favorite spit well here goes the story. So I was discussing this restaurant with my teenage niece, she advised me to not eat here again due to the fact one of her friends found a roach in here rice. Then I was telling her uncle (my bf) about this story and he was like yea don't order there no more bc I went one day on my lunch to pick up food and a mouse ran across the floor. I walked out of course. read more

I have gotten delivery twice now. Both times, it has taken OVER AN HOUR to arrive. The first time, the food was really good and still hot, but the second time the food was luke warm and no good! I absolutely do NOT recommend this place for delivery. read more

We ordered from China Lin after finding it here on Yelp - and we weren't disappointed! All Chinese places are priced about the same - and we ordered for our family of 3 with appetizers for under 35 dollars. Their hot and sour soup was probably the spiciest I've had - which was a pleasant surprise! Another huge plus for me is their children's menu. Most of the places we've ordered from in the past only have "American" type meals for children, so I have to order my son an adult sized meal which ends up going to waste. China Lin offered his favorite has a child size - and it was just big enough for him. That in itself is worth 5 stars for me. My husband ordered the hot and spicy shrimp, and he while he said it was good; he was upset it was literally all shrimp and onions with no other mixed vegetables. He wasn't upset enough to change his mind about the service here though. read more

we love this place! we normally do delivery and it always takes less time than they estimate. the food is still VERY hot when it gets to you. this is definitely our go to Chinese place. read more

Very disappointed. Went here with my family based on the 5 star rating. I got the Orange Beef and it was terrible. The beef was paper thin and all breading. Gave up trying to scrap it all off and left more than half my plate. My wife had Teriyaki Chicken and she said it tasted like pork and the fried rice was very oily. Sweet and Sour Chicken was also all beading. The only saving graces were the Steamed Dumplings and the service to earn 2 stars. read more

Great Chinese food. Hot wings are really good. On the healthy side the steamed dishes are a great option. Ive tried the Steamed veggies with shrimp and the shrimp were gigantic, some of the largest ive seen at a chinese restaurant. I've been in Phenix City for 2 years now and have tried a lot of different take out spots and China Lin is reasonable and has tasty food and are pretty fast if you call ahead. I keep going back there all the time. read more

Food is good. If you get it delivered it is usually correct. Employees could be a little friendlier.

The food is okay but the service is horrible. They act like they are doing you a favor for coming into the restaurant, impatient when taking orders and barely say thank you picking up orders. It would also be nice if they offered a military discount. read more
