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. read more

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 read more

I had to try this place out after seeing all the great reviews about how large the portions were at Lin's Express. I'm a big fan of orange chicken and the orange chicken meal that they had seemed like a good deal. Based on the menu pics I saw on Yelp, I expected the meal to be $9.99, but recently their prices have increased towards $12 (most likely due to inflation). That didn't bother me too much because the meal included an egg roll, 2 crab rangoons, and your choice of either fried/steamed rice or lo mein. I placed a take-out order inside and the interior was pretty nice with lots of plush booths. It was well lit and clean. I was shocked to see no other customers when I went. The service is efficient and friendly, but the food is another story. On the surface, the orange chicken looked very appetizing and fresh. However, once you bite into it, the chicken tastes a bit rubbery and there was no crispiness at all to the chicken. It also came with a handful of broccoli that was tough to chew. The fried rice didn't fare much better as it was on the greasier side and didn't have much flavor or seasoning at all. However, the egg roll had a decently crispy skin and the vegetable filling was well seasoned and flavorful. One of my favorite fried items is crab rangoons and once I saw the crab rangoon, I had a feeling they wouldn't taste that good. The crab rangoons that I received were severely overcooked and the skin was burnt. I was disappointed that I couldn't even eat them because they were so tough and charred. Overall, Lin's Express does give out huge portions of food, but they need to improve on their food quality and consistency. read more

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 read more

Lin’s Express - Sesame Chicken w/ Crab Rangoons - Fast Food Near Me - McAllen, Texas

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! read more

Bro I found a caterpillar in my food like hell nah I order the house mad tofu I've been there before with no problem but Im not going to come back again cuz WTH read more

I had read a lot of mixed reviews but finally decided to try it. The lo-mein was okay, and the general tso chicken isn't something I would recommend. They serve a generous amount of chicken which is a steal. The egg roll was delicious and (not pictured cause we ate them immediately) are the crab rangoons which were super good! Would I go back? Maybe. But I don't think it's likely. read more

I ordered Kung Pao chicken because that is my favorite Chinese dish. I will say that this was one of the best. It had a bit of spice. Could have been a bit spicier, but it was hot and fresh and the portion size was huge!! I ate some, then...you know how a little while after eating Chinese food you get hungry again, we'll that happened, so I had some more. Then I ate more (cold) for breakfast - weird I know, what can I say!! The order came with these wonton things, fried rice and an egg roll. I also ordered a side of hot and sour soup. It was all amazing. If I'm ever in McAllen again that's going to be my first stop!! read more

This was a pleasant surprise and we'll definitely be back. Yaki Soba was excellent.. They have a good munu, friendly staff, and good atmospheric read more

This is our new go-to for Chinese food. Just so you know, they are NOT connected to the Lin's Grand Buffet nearby, they are their own business and just happen to have the same last name in Chinese. We have eaten in and done the drive through and let me tell you this is the best Chinese in town these days. The food is good and cooked hot right when you order. The owners are actually Chinese, which I think makes a difference. Anyway, the portions are freaking huge. And man is the food good. Forget the other places and give these people your business. You'll be glad you did. read more

I never tried the food. I attempted an online order for pickup. The total was $179.00. When I was checking out, Lin's tried to charge me a $27.00 TIP and a $1.00 service fee. A $27.00 mandatory TIP when I had to drive and pick up the food!!!! These guys are crazy!!! read more

Great fresh flavor. Got Kung pao chicken. Huge portions with egg rolls and Rangoon. And noodles. Food good. Service not so much. read more

Second time having ordered from her, food was okay, but the drive thru worker was rude. Not in a rush to go back, especially when you spend $70 on Asian takeout food. read more

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.

Great food and the portions are.... plentiful!! Everything was freshly made (Combination Fried Rice and Orange Chicken). Highly recommend the fried rice, it's really good. Be ready to have lunch and have lots leftovers for dinner. read more

The Hot & Sour Soup and Kung Pao Chicken are delicious. Huge portions with Egg Roll and Crab Rangoon. Do not order the Orange Chicken or the Sesame Chicken. They are chewy and dry. Absolutely horrible and inedible. Do not recommend that place. read more

Chicken they use has a lot of nerves. Employees are eating chips as they take orders and serve them as well .

Great food, good price. Pleasant surprise. Food was cooked well and had excellent flavor. Delivery was prompt, will definitely order from here again read more

An amazing restaurant with amazing food. We have never been here and had cold food. Always fresh and delicious. Customer service is outstanding as well. Definitely a 10/10 place to eat. read more

Disappointing. Who eats crab Rangoon loaded with powdered sugar. Everything subpar and far from Chinese.

Extremely tasty and very generous portions. We had be a weekly regular at a nearby Chinese restaurant but now we have made Lin's our weekly regular!! read more

Food is fresh but takes way to long to get your food. Really should have second guessed the name because there is nothing express about it.

Great food, very fresh and excellent portions. Two people can easily share a meal. My favorite is the Happy Family plate with beef, chicken and shrimp. Been there several times and have always had a great experience. read more

Not sure why it's rated four stars. I've gone a couple of times and the first time it was solid but it really messed up my stomach. The second time I went it was just flat out not good at all. Both times I got General Tso chicken and both times the chicken was not crispy at all just mushy. read more

A LOT OF FOOD!!!!!!! BIG PORTIONS!!!! Enough to feed 2 maybe 3 people. Food over all was good but not great. Would eat again, size comparison!! read more

I have had delivery from Lin's Express several times. I only get appetizers so can't address the meals. But I love their hot and sour soup, their pork filled dumplings and their crab Rangoon. Give it a try! read more

Loved the idea of meal kits, but didn't love the idea of not being able to add meals/sides separately. Flavor was good except for sweet n sour chicken, which seemed to have a lot of breading/batter, more than chicken I would say. We had to order another meal kit in order for us to have a decent amount of food for 3. Service was quick though. I'd say overall, it's okay. read more

Excellent menu Huge portions, easily 2 meals or split with someone. Egg rolls and crab Rangoon are delicious. Large portion of fried or steamed rice, egg roll, and 2 crab rangoons with each entré. Came 2 times in a row and ordered different plates. Didn't disappoint read more

Made me sick 2x. The first time I thought it could have been something else but when I ate it and it made me sick again I knew for certain it was this place. read more

If you like Lin's buffet, you'll like this place, but you can go any other good Chinese restaurant and get food that's ten times better for less. Doesn't matter if they make it to order. This is just overpriced buffet food. read more

Food is delicious. Kinda pricey but it's worth it because the portions are pretty big even when you take it to go. Staff are friendly and the boba is yummy read more
