DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE !! Egg Rolls were like plastic. The General Tso Chicken should be renamed General Jerk Chicken Fried Rice must have been around for a day or more. my son ordered Beef and Broccoli and it contained Shrimp. if he was had a seafood allergy it would have landed him in the Emergency Room. All three meals were substandard and tasted nothing like Chinese food but more like leather and plastic soaked in Sweet Soy Sauce. read more

Great value. Stopped while driving down I-95. Took less than 15 mins - got gas while we waited down the road. Great prices and portion sizes. Food was decent. Sure beats fast food when on a road trip. Will definitely be stopping here as we travel this route often. read more

Nice owners, delicious food, would recommend stopping by to get some takeout again. Some seating inside but plan to take out

Passing by this place twice and both eating here. The food is good and the place is clean. You need to ask to eat inside. Obviously there is no table service since you don't pay tips. I will stop by again if I drive by in future. read more

China Lin - Take out only - Chinese Near Me - Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina

Food was great. Not too far from my hotel. Broccoli seemed over cooked but other than that no issues. Veggies were plentiful to include snow peas, carrot, water chestnuts, onion, mushrooms, and what looked like tofu. Pork Fried rice also had carrots and peas. Not usually a fan of peas in my rice but they were not overpowering. Rice was flavorful no sauces needed. Egg roll was delicious plain. Again no sauce needed Fast service less than 10 min. And great prices. If from out of town... . They are in the Plaza by Walmart right between Papa John's and Subway Will visit again when I'm in the area read more

The food is always fresh and hot. They are consistent in providing tasty dinners. I've tried 2 other locations in the area and China Lin has a better selection and definitely better tasting. read more

I ordered my food 5 minutes away by the time I arrived and paid the food was ready. I ordered the pork rib tips combo w/shrimp fried rice. With an extra egg roll aroun 13.50$. I returned home opened up the order and was immediately impressed by the size and fresh smell hitting my nose. First up was the egg roll best egg roll I've ever had the size of two fingers stuffed with veggies and meat just right. Next bite was the shrimp fried rice the shrimp tasted so fresh and perfectly cooked I was in awe. The pork tips tasted as if they were hand selected and fat trimmed. Every bite of this meal down to the damn soda was wonderful. This is what food made from love and care taste like. Thank You .. read more

Stopped off I-95 in Roanoke Rapids for a lunch break. I decided on China Lin, which is located at Premier Landing (next to Subway & Papa John's), across the street from Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks (visible from I-95). The place is your standard strip plaza Chinese takeout place which is order at the counter with open kitchen and self serve table seating from the front entrance to the counter area. China Lin offers the standard Chinese menu with Cantonese, Szechuan, and Hunan dishes and house specialty dishes. The prices here seem reasonable, menu items are priced under $10. 39 Special Lunch Plates ($4.35 each until 3:30 PM) served with pork fried rice or white rice and 23 Combination Plates ($6.50 each) served with pork fried rice or white rice and egg roll. I got the L27 Shrimp Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice ($4.35 plus tax), which was ready to go in under 10 minutes. The portion of hot food was good sized for lunch. The Shrimp Lo Mein had tender shrimp (deveined) with a mix of carrots, green onions, cabbage, tossed with soft noodles, tasted good on the oily side. The fried rice had a firm texture a mix of carrot, peas, onions, & scallions and mostly tender roast pork cubes. This was more than enough food, which I managed to finish for lunch and a snack on the road. The food overall tasted pretty good and was cooked fresh, better than many Chinese places near my NH home. Glad I stopped here! 3.7/5.0 read more

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Happened to be very peaceful when I was there after the lunch rush. Highly recommend.

I should have listened to the other review but trying to give this place a shot....was greeted with a hello....I ask is if it's a carryout she rudely says no....I ask do you serve food....she rudely says no.....asks if they deliver....(I'm new to the area and in a hotel) she rudely says no....ok three strikes....will never get my business ...sheesh! read more

Outstanding! Excellent food, huge portions good price!! Very pleased with our choice of dinner restaurant!! Definitely should considet going here!! read more

My wife and I have been eating there for many years since the family opened China Lin and I don't know WHO you were talking about being rude because I KNOW for a fact the entire family is pleasantly courteous to EVERYONE who calls in or walks in for their food!!!! read more

This is truly a hidden gem in an area full of fast food establishments. For $5 plus change, I had a very flavorful garlic chicken/pork fried rice lunch. Veggies were fresh and crisp, chicken was firm (not too soft like at other Chinese places), and the sauce was a nice balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. If you're in the area (driving up or down I-95) and looking for an inexpensive lunch, be sure to check this place out. read more

The food is okay, it may be good compared to other takeout places but can anyone sound nastier answering and taking orders at a cheap Chinese restaurant? If you are nasty and talk to others with disrespect, you bring down your family name. I hope this place hires someone who is pleasant to take orders and sooner the better. And, the hot and sour soup was garbage. read more

China Lin is unassuming but the food is quite good and very reasonably priced. They have become my preferred Chinese restaurant in town as most of the other Chinese places have gone upscale with a grill and buffet (and have raised their prices where it's near-impossible to have lunch for under $10). While grills are nice enough, buffets invite health concerns with questionable sneeze guards and food that sits out for too long. With China Lin, you know that your food is freshly-cooked and no one else has been poking through it. read more

They over charge, and their food is horrible. You're better off just going to a buffet .

We where on our way home and decide stop by for some coffee Starbucks and saw Chinese food China Lin we stop by. It was very good I enjoy it I'm a vegan so had fried rice with vegetables , vegetable Lomein. Was so good for being far from home. The only thing it's a little but greasy, but the flavor is really good and they where very fast and they have Starbucks , papa John , and other stores near even gas so great rest spot. I'm sastified and price was great not bad !!! read more

Honestly the best Chinese food you can get around here. The food isn't too sugary, greasy or bland like at most of the others. They may all have similar items on the menu and even have the same printed menu, but China Lin has found the way to make the dishes the right way and very flavorful. read more

They have some really good food and they have a good Customer service and they have a lot of different types of two choose from.

we ordered rice noodle and they are pretty decent for a Chinese fastfood place at a small town. Good choice for us on the way home through I-95. read more

They Food are really good and I eat there all the time and they stay pack all the time

I had the worst Chinese food ever! The house rice was old and cold, the sea food plate was horrible, the pice of lobster was chewy, hard , had to throw it out, the crab was fake , the vegetables were over cook , broccoli was old ,overly done the sauce was flavorless and terrible, the crab ragun the worst. I read the reviews and they have 4 stars, please don't bother I wouldn't give them any and we payed $30.00 read more

Very unfriendly people. No greeting when I entered when I arrived 3 minutes past their "lunch special" time and the lady who was busy with her cellphone just said "no, it's over" without a smile. Attitude = no business from me. read more
