Lina's Thai Bistro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

I was recently in Dubuque for work and a co-worker suggested Thai food. We found Lina's via Yelp and were not disappointed. We had chicken dumplings, wonton soup, drunken noodles, and I can't remember the exact noodle dish my coworker ordered. Service was excellent. The restaurant was very clean. Food was great! I've never had drunken noodles with "glass noodles" but that's now my new preference. I will return without question if back in the area. read more

Loved this place! Went here with my family on vacation! Handicap accessible and a lot of space! Good food and service and prices!

The food was really great! They are definitely short staffed as is everyone right now but they still made us feel taken care of. The dishes were very yummy and customizable and the portions were perfect. read more

My daughters and I ordered the glass and udon noodles. Both were extremely salty. My husband enjoyed his hot pot and our friends liked their drunken noodles and rocky mountain rolls. The decor is beautiful. read more

Nice little place tucked away that I think is underrated. The first time I decided to come here was because Dubuque lacks any good fast food noodles. So I had their Pad Thai and it was delicious! I was excited to learn they also have sushi, I now come here often with my family just for that as I feel it's the best sushi in town! The plating is beautiful and the food is delicious here. The last few times we've gone we have received a complimentary salad, which is pretty good. The only problem we've had once was a server was a little spacey during the busy hours, but because the food was so good I forgive him. read more

Very good food, presentation and service. Price is very affordable for such a classy and clean place. Only been a couple of times but it is hard to find such authentic ethnic food in this area. I recommend to anyone disappointed with the Chinese food in the area. read more

I generally eat only high-quality food (organic/local/etc.) and so have had a hard time of it since moving to the Dubuque area. I rarely go out to eat because most restaurant food around here is so intolerable to me. This actually is one of the better restaurants that I have been to in Dubuque and I have been here on a number of occasions. The main problem that I have with it is that the meat quality is poor. If they were to source higher-quality meat, that would improve things a lot. Mostly I try to find things on the menu that I can have prepared with just vegetables and no meat at all, because the quality of the vegetables (though I doubt they are organic) is not too bad. So at least I can find some things on the menu to eat, even though that is not an ideal solution for me. The food preparation is reasonably good. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant and the service has seemed fine. It is hard to say that I am a "fan" of the restaurant when they are using industrialized meat. That is not healthy, not kind to animals, and does not taste good. But with regard to the non-meat dishes, it is not too bad, for Dubuque. I've been to a few Asian restaurants in other towns where they have provided a choice of quality meat at an upcharge. I would eat here a lot more often if this restaurant were to do that. read more

This is probably the worst Thai food I have had! Ordered Pad Thai no sauce and what was there was sweet. Geisha roll was very loose and flavorless. And the summer roll had no plum sauce with it. Expensive and disappointing! read more

I was looking for something different than bar food or fried food off the same truck every other cookie cutter restaurant gets their food. Lina's hit the spot! There is no picture as I was very hungry and the food didn't last long. I had the Kung Pao and an order of egg rolls. The food was top notch, my only gripe was there wasn't enough, I wanted more! The portion was good, dinner size, I was just hungry. The Kung Pao was very good, not overly spicy and the egg rolls were FANTASTIC! (I shouldn't have eaten all 4, but I did!) I did order take out, so I cannot peak for service, but if it is half as good as the food it is worth every penny. I will eat from Lina's again! read more

Stopped during an ice storm for a bite to eat. Was really impressed with service! Lunch menu was comprehensive but we ordered off the full menu. Miso soup was good, egg rolls were good, too! We had a yellow curry and pad thai so they were pretty standard, simple dishes. Both were really yummy! The restaurant was very clean and staff was helpful! I was there with a wheelchair user and the staff jumped to the doors to open them for us. It's not necessary but incredibly helpful and not many restaurants with double doors have staff go out of their way to open both sets of doors. They scored points for kindness in my book! Will definitely stop back when in Dubuque. read more

Honestly, a solid place to have good Thai food in Dubuque. Sushi is amazing and the skillets are the best!

Decent sushi and a wide selection of Asian and Thai dishes - from larb to stir fry, Lina's has a good selection and friendly staff- excellent for carry out too read more

Great food, always delicious and the staff is great too! Dine in or take out, food is freshly prepared and piping hot!

This place has Thai tea with coconut milk. So for all you non dairy drinkers this drink is for you. All my friends I've introduced it too has loved it so don't be afraid. Spicy basil= yum Curry fried rice no egg= super yum Chicken satay= thumbs down. Did not taste good Thai lettuce wrap = yum Waitress-friendly and attentive Bathrooms= super clean. Will check this place out again whenever I'm in Dubuque. read more

Server was very attentive and friendly. However the food missed the mark. My Pad Thai was tasteless and plain. Very disappointed. My appetizer was summer rolls. I have had many spring rolls and all were fried. These summer rolls were uncooked and had horrible texture and were difficult to eat gracefully. May try it again, but will not order the same items as I did tonight. read more

My husband found this place with good reviews on Yelp, so we decided to give it a shot. We are not big eaters, so we ordered just one lunch meal to share. We got the Kung Pao noodles with chicken at spice level 3 (they had 1 to 5). It was very good. Spice was just right for our taste. If you are not the kind that likes spicy food, you may want to stick to 1 or 2. The tang was perfect, veggies were done well, chicken was also good. It came with a side of white rice. It was quite filling for us. My husband later ordered chicken dumplings also, just to give it a shot and they turned out quite yummy too. The dumplings came with vinegared and grated carrot and lettuce, and soy sauce for dip. All in all, a very satistctory meal. If you're in the area, you should give it a shot! read more

Very happy with having such a place here in Dubuque. The owners are very friendly and the building is comfortable and appealing. The menu is large and varied, from Thai curry to a variety of Sushi. Both are done very well. The only complaint i have about this place is the somewhat slow service. The staff is all very friendly, but sometimes takes a bit longer than to be expected. Overall i recommend this place to visitors and locals. read more

I've been here a couple of times, and each time the food takes forever to come out to you. A couple weeks ago we waited 15ish minutes for a server to even approach us in a rude manner. 40 minutes for food to come out, and just last night waited probably 25-30 minutes. It wasn't even busy, so I don't understand why it takes so long. Their menu's aren't clear as to how a dish is prepared. I wanted a nice sushi roll. I asked about the Las Vegas roll which said "Tempura salmon, tuna and yellowtail fired to a delicious golden brown, topped with chef's secret sauce" I asked the waitress if each piece of fish was tempura to which she assured me yes. I've attached a photo of how it came out. It doesn't even look like a sushi roll. The fish itself is not "tempura'd" the entire piece is deep fried in batter. Which was not clear in the description, as I assumed just the pieces of tempura fish were "fried" not the entire roll. It's not even served or prepared like a "sushi roll" very disappointed in the lack of description and expectations. I had told the waitress I wanted to send it back and I was not paying for it. She had said I could get another roll, but that she'd have to charge me because "her boss isn't going to let her take it off". Absolutely not..you can go talk to your boss and tell them to come out. However, the waitress WAS super kind the entire time and she did get it corrected. We didn't take anything out on her and we think she did a fabulous job at correcting the situation. read more

Lina's Thai Bistro - Las Vegas Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

The menu isn't so much about Thai food as it is various Asian-inspired dishes that will appeal to the tastes of middle America. I had a curry dish, and it was fine. Nothing spectacular, and despite being listed as "spicy" it wasn't really spicy at all. More flavorful than spicy. I was impressed by the sheer number of vegetables used in the dish. Usually you order a curry and it's more sauce than substance. Not here. Good-sized portion of fresh veggies. Lina's is the only place I know of where you can get decent Asian cuisine in the Tri-state portion of the Driftless. It's just not the Thai I know and love. If I could get really good Thai food in Charleston IL and Dothan AL, I should be able to get it in Dubuque too. read more

Nothing particularly terrible but not worth repeating. Nice atmosphere. Waitress was pleasant and attentive but (mildly) inaccurate. I asked if I could get only half an order of spring rolls, she said yes, but kitchen staff came out to say no. No big deal at all but the guy that came out from the kitchen was mildly rude about it--Bad day? Lost a star for food being blah--and kinda a blah menu selection: really the most boring Thai food all around that I've ever had--and another for the kitchen staff that missed the lesson on manners. I'd agree to go back but wouldn't suggest it. read more

Food was very good. Server hurried me way too much!! Turns out the owners are from Chicago, does not make a difference why we were hurried though! If anything, Dubuque should have "slowed things down!" We talked to the owners, very nice people. Give this place a try! Again, food was very good. Service made me stressed!:) You tell me and enjoy! read more

I was in town looking for some easy thai take out and happened upon this place. I decided to order some Pad see ew for take out. She asked me to order on a scale of 1-5 heat.I said 5, but it wasn't a 5 at all. Maybe it was a 5 for Dubuque taste buds? :) In any case, the noodles were okay. Kind of limited to what vegetables you can get there. They used broccoli, and it is normally, chinese broccoli or something of that ilk. Either way, it was ok, and the the waitstaff was friendly and it looked like a good atmosphere for dining in. read more

After reading the reviews, was really excited to give this place a try. Didn't start well, with an unmanned hostess station where we stood for over 5 minutes before someone ushered us to a table. We then had another wait for our waitress and another much longer wait for the food. The restaurant was not filled to capacity yet it felt very understaffed. So, maybe we didn't order the best dishes available, but while our sushi (spider roll) was attractively presented, it was bland. The mango coconut fried rice was similarly bland. Not the worst Thai food, but the service was definitely substandard. read more

We had a group of six who were comfortable seated immediately as we came in. Our server was attentive and accommodating (answering all our questions). The food was outstanding. We ordered Memories of a Geosha, lettuce wraps, and various meals from drunken noodles to seafood sampler. I think our favorite was doing saki bombs. We left completely satisfied. read more

This place never disappoints! My family and I have been coming here for years and have probably tired half of the menu. With that said, you can't go wrong with anything you order. The service is great and the food is ready extremely fast. read more

Waited at least 15 minutes before the waitress even acknowledged us. Took our orders and then we watched as people who came in after us got their food. Waitress was extremely rude. Took 45 minutes to get apps and over an hour for entrees. No apology from the staff. Extremely unorganized and we watched other customers have the same experience as us. The food was definitely not worth the wait. They blamed the slow service on a lot of take out orders and the fact that they opened another location a few doors down and had to run food orders to that place as well!! This used to be one of our favorites, but sadly we will not be returning. read more

Lovely little Thai restaurant with a variety of Chinese and sushi options available. Their Kung Pao chicken was well flavored, as was my friend's curry. Even respected social distancing and masks. Would definitely have again, especially since their sesame fortune cookie was the best I'd ever had read more

My friend and I decided to come eat here one of our first weeks here in Dubuque, and we loved the food. We've come back another time for dinner and two more times for lunch with our coworkers. The food is always good, the service is good, and I will come back again soon for sure. read more

Once again, we decided to try someplace different and we were happy we came here! Atmosphere: the restaurant has an open, yet intimate feel to it. The lighting is just perfect in giving that effect. The entire restaurant was clean and comfortable. We liked the look of the restaurant as soon as we stepped through the doors. Staff: we were seated promptly and brought our drinks in very short order. They were very polite and attentive the entire time. Food: We ordered a California roll appetizer which came out quickly. My girlfriend ordered the glass noodles with chicken and I ordered Pad Thai with beef. The California roll was good. My girlfriend absolutely loved her meal! The Pad Thai was very good, though not the same as I'd had in several different Thai restaurants. I am used to staff bringing out a variety of hot sauces when I go to Thai restaurants and yet none were offered. It's definitely a restaurant worth frequenting. read more

I'm so glad I stopped in and tried this location. The food was delicious. I had the convo fried rice and it was the best fried rice I've ever had, there was a hint of sweetness that really made it stand out. I also had curry chicken, I asked for my servers recommendation of curry style and he said the Pad? Sorry I can't remember the spelling but it was the only one with mushrooms. I ordered spiciness of 3/5 it was spicy and delicious. I also ordered a mango mojito, nice flavor and yummy mint leaves. read more

Love love love Lina's! Our fourth visit and the food and service were both excellent. We start with the spicy basil mussels, heat level two was just right for My Goddess. We may have to order separately next time so I can have them a little more spicy. Mussels were cooked perfectly every visit. This time we tried the sushi and Lena's Bistro roll was beautiful and delicious. Texas Cowboy roll also was great. Joe, the man who has served us each visit, is attentive without being obtrusive and very helpful. At his suggestion next visit we will try the Hot Pot, after our Spicy Basil Mussels, of course! read more

My favorite place in dbq. So delicious and fresh. I will be back often. I had the drunkin noodles with a spice of 3. It was so good but I may go down to a 2 spice next time. Staff go out of their way to make your decision to dine there over the top. read more

Excellent food and great service. This was some good eatin'. I had the drunken noodles and a rainbow roll. Delicious! I will definitely return of I'm out this way again. read more

Atmosphere at Lina's in on point! The booth is cozy, comfortable and chic. We started with a shrimp tempura roll. Each piece was larger than the average sushi & in my opinion it was rather bland. For our entrees we had Garlic Giant Prawn something like a beef salad. The shrimp dish had excellent flavor & the beef salad was served similar to the lettuce wraps. It was on the spicy side and very filling for $8.95! Our server was so sweet but a little inattentive which she was apologetic for. It's a secret gem in Dubuque & worth checking out for sure. read more

Service and food were excellent. The decor was beautiful and gave it a charming dinning atmosphere. We will be back for a return visit. read more

Was recommended to me by the hotel front desk I was not disappointed. I had Sushi and combination fried rice. The Roll would have been plenty but I wanted to also try the rice. Everything was great. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they have no small portion of Fried Rice so you have to order a full order which is plenty for even 2. On the upside I had plenty for next Morning for breakfast in my hotel room. read more

Finding a place to sit for a nice meal is getting harder. Found this place while in Dubuque this past weekend. Service was not good. Ordered sushi rolls. Had to wait for dipping dishes since they weren't provided prior to our order arriving. Besides a variety of regular sushi roll ingredients, the roll we ordered (it was named after the establishment) listed that it also contained avocado and lettuce. And wow did it contain lettuce! ewww. And there was no avocado to be found. The amount of lettuce was similar in size as an entire California roll, yeah THAT much. It was like eating a salad, not a sushi roll. We spoke with our server and checked the menu to be sure what it listed as ingredients. She was unconcerned and not apologetic. She said "well, I'll just have to trust you that there was no avocado". We were done eating by then and I had picked the "salad" out. She never came to check on us at any time or refill our water (my #1 pet peeve with servers). Keep in mind this was 3:00 pm and there was only one other table with customers and they were being served by another waitress. We will not be back. Hopefully our usual restaurant will be open for dine-in next time we're in town. Ichiban's is always an enjoyable experience. read more

I've only had the sushi rolls but there are so many different ones to pick from that many will be pleasing. Sundown Roll is my favorite. Quiet place to meet with some friends and be able to talk. read more

I don't know what the hype is about this place. I'd choose Ichiban or Little Tokyo in Galena over this given the chance. The service here is awful and the food is okay. Always disappointed when I come here. read more
