Listen, I eat here several times a week - either lunch or dinner. We often get large orders for our office. All ingredients are very FRESH, including the sushi. These people who claim to have gotten sick, I call BS. One of the better Chinese restaurants in Pittsburgh. No one has ever gotten sick on what we have ordered. You never know WHAT/HOW people store food after they get the "take out". The food is excellent and definitely worth a stop if you have never been here. read more

Lin's is my go to when I want American Chinese food. I love their combination dinner boxes, you can't go wrong with any of them!! They're enough to have plenty for dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day too. I also really like their avocado spring rolls and would recommend for any vegetarians who may be missing crab rangoons!! As someone who still eats crab rangoons, they definitely satisfy the same cravings read more

I hate leaving bad reviews for businesses but I need to leave this view so I know not to order from here again. The food was both bland and oily/greasy. Overall not good. Waste of a take out order. We through most of it away. Shame. read more

though Carson st was supposed to be happening place and somehow it was but yeah it's okkkish for me. We were exploring the area, there's a nice riverside walk. we stopped here, empty it was, not sure why, as it was only 9 PM, and it had great reviews (ofcourse who goes to any restaurant without reading any reviews... wink ;) We ordered: Mongolian chicken - good. 4/5 chicken Cantonese - good. 4/5 Thai style fried rice - it was a little blunt in taste, but yeah 3/5 overall food was good. you can definitely try a few items here. ambiance and service were great. The portion size is not that big, and prices are reasonable, considering you are dining in a good area. read more

My whole family and I ate the food, it was below average. Then all four of us became violently ill and started vomiting with explosive diarrhea later that evening. Stay away, very far away! read more

This is the best Asian Cuisine in Pittsburgh's Southside by far. From traditional Chinese food dishes, to Japanese ramen dishes and other great menu items, this is a true Gem. The servers and other, Lin herself are excellent hosts and me and my partner come here once a week. I love the ramen and I have to remind myself to take more pictures. 5 stars for me. read more

Pretty tasty Chinese food from Lin's. I stood to the more classic food instead of the fusion items (there's quite a bit of 'traditional' American-Chinese food available as well). My order consisted of a chicken egg roll and pan fried pork potstickers/dumplings. The dumplings/potstickers were quite good. They had an ample amount of meat, and the meat was well-cooked. Not too doughy either. The order came with a nice serving of dumpling sauce, which was a nice balance of savory and sweet. Decent portion, and I can tell they were actually pan fried which is nice. Would recommend them. The chicken egg roll was a bit strange. The chicken inside has a very odd texture. It is minced into tiny pieces and quite dry. On the outside, the roll is crispy. It also includes the standard vegetables (mostly cabbage) on the inside. Pretty average. My order came with a variety of complimentary sauces such as soy sauce, duck sauce, and mustard sauce. The soy sauce went really well with the dry chicken egg roll. Also, they gave me a free fortune cookie as most places do. All in all, a nice spot for Chinese food. I stood to the classics and they were pretty good. I'd recommend the dumplings over the egg roll, though. read more

I was shocked to see that Lin's has such mixed reviews. I used to live directly across the street from here, needless to say I frequented it ALOT. It has always been extremely consistent! Service is always super friendly. The waitress that we had the last time that we dined in was so sweet and very present in making sure we had what we needed. Located on the southside, the front window tables are prime for people watching. Restaurant is always clean which is always a plus! We usually go for the General Tso's Chicken (with the sauce on the side because I like super crispy chicken and having control of the amount of sauce). It is always perfectly crispy; the Tso's sauce is super tasty and has ruined all other Tso's sauces for me! The egg rolls are great here too, really nice sized roll as well. The lo mien is a typical version, flavorful and a good portion size. It's exactly what you want if you're looking for lo mien. I had tried to find a new Chinese food spot since we moved further away and still haven't found one that matches up. I drive the distance to get me some Lin's. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered from here and were disappointed. However I don't want to entirely judge by takeout alone so may have to give another try. I ordered the chicken pad thai spicy. My critique is that there are maybe a few large chicken pieces then these giant curds taking up most of the entree (probably to cover the lack of much meat). Another issue I had is the largely chopped vegetables which outnumbered the noodles. There was virtually no flavor to the dish at all and it was edible, that's it. He got a beef and rice dish which was "ok." I hate to leave not-so-great reviews but perhaps their other dishes are better and I will give a benefit of a doubt but this was the worst pad thai I ever had. It was basically onions, peppers and tofu. Also like another review said, their tofu is too tough to even bite into. read more

Lin's Asian Fusion - NN2. Pad Thai - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I've dined in and ordered delivery from here a fair amount of times. I haven't had issues until this point. Myself and my partner both ordered "super spicy" L9 and L13. It came with everything at inedible levels of sweet. I had to re-cook hot and sour soup with cayenne, red pepper and vinegar to try to salvage it, but it was still gross. Same with the General Tso, tofu, and mushrooms. Service has been fine the last handful of times, but I'm super disappointed. read more

I've had a few friends say this is their favorite restaurant in all of Southside. So when helping a friend move I suggested that we go here. Or maybe she's just suggested that we go there either or it was a good choice. We walked in and we got seated right away and we just missed the lunch special. While slightly disappointed the full menu was still available and it looked very good. My friend knew right away what she wanted since she has lived in the south side and comes here lot. I need the little bit more time to look through all the pages. I was pretty impressed with the different options that Lin's had. And I put it on my list to come again to try different options from the menu, after the food was tasted of course. I went with the eggplant tofu with a side of noodles and she went with one of the Bento boxes. All I know from her bento box is that she got some Sesame crispy tofu and it was delicious and I will be getting that the next time that I come. My dish came on a plate kind of like a fajita. It was very steamy and sizzling for a lot longer than I would have liked because it was so hot I couldn't eat it. And then I also felt bad because the steam was just blowing into my friend's face. She was a good sport and said that she liked it and she said it was like a steam bath with delicious flavors. But it still made me feel a little bit bad. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and all the vegetables were delicious. The sauce was light and did not overtake everything and didn't give me that sticky feeling of heaviness that some Asian sauces do. I think that I would have liked crispy tofu instead of just the regular tofu because it probably would have stayed together easier. But all in all the meal was very good. I look forward to trying more things on the menu especially their sushi and their bento box. And a little taste of that Sesame tofu has had me hooked and waiting to go back soon to get some of that. If you're in the Southside try it out. read more

We love Lin's!! We get the dinner combinations and they are so yummy and such a good price for such a good amount of food. My favorite is the D3! We also have gotten the pot stickers and wontons before, both of which were delicious. Sometimes ordering over the phone can be a little tricky, but any mistakes that were made have been correctly politely for us! read more

It was the first snow this year and what is better than Hot and Sour soup? I stopped in and ordered a big bowl. The server was very efficient and fast. I then ordered the basil shrimp and chicken sizzler. Very tasty! It was not spicy enough for me but I really like to sweat when I eat. So I requested a side of hot sauce! It was a healthy dish, very nice portion and presentation. read more

The sesame chicken was so terrible- the texture was way too rough and the food look nasty right when I opened it.

This is one of my go to Chinese spots because it's so affordable. Look for the combination plates on the menu! The dinner price is 8.75 for a ton of really good food. The honey chicken is to die for because it's so crunchy and sweet. The general tso chicken is also really delicious. They usually aren't super busy, but tonight my friends and I caught them at a pretty busy time, so it took a while to get service. I've never had this problem before though. We went around 6 on a Saturday night, so that's prime time. Everything else was great about our meal. Update: came here again the other day with my boyfriend and we had a great experience. Our server Melanie was awesome and happy to take care of us! Our food was so tasty, and the mixed drinks were great too. read more

We get Lin's fairly frequently. It's one of our go-to Chinese takeout spots! They are reliable, and the food is good for the amount charged. We usually go for the veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice, and some kind of meat dish (for the boyf, as I am vegetarian). Good place, and I am a fan, but I don't do backflips over the food. Essentially, I'd recommend Lin's for situations like when you've had a late day at work and don't have time to cook or feel like going out. read more

***JUST FOR THE BUBBLE TEA*** We saw the sign advertising their bubble tea outside. Got the chai bubble tea wanting to try something new. I asked the woman at the counter if the chai tea was good, she said it was. The tapioca pearls literally tasted like water, and the taste itself was watery, bland, and didn't even taste anything like tea. We put honey and more milk in it later to make it "bearable" read more

I adore Lin's Asian Fusion! My favorite thing on the menu is the wonton soup. The wontons are meaty and not soggy in the soup. The delivery is fast and usually much quicker than the Grubhub application says. I usually order the chicken and broccoli/General Tso's bento box with a shrimp egg roll. Unfortunately, the delivery minimum is $20 and I end up having to order food for three meals because the prices are so reasonable. I've also dined in-house a few times during the day. The service is relaxed and the atmosphere is comfortable. Overall, Lin's is a go-to if you love Asian food and live in the Flats. read more

To me this is one of the best places in Pittsburgh for Chinese food. I'm always telling people about or asking people if they have ever had it before. I've honestly come here around twenty times and still it's always so darn good. They have amazing lunch specials and they always have a lot of open seats. Even in the summer they set up tables outside and the windows even open up in front of the building. The service here is quick and I think there's something for everyone on here from sushi to soups to rice dishes and noodles. My personal favorite is the general tso and Kong pow chicken. This place is also always clean and well organized and they even make the sushi right in front of you if you sit in the front at the bar area. This place might look and feel very Americanized but the food is outstanding. Overall I'll continue to come here when I'm craving Chinese or in the area for lunch. read more

For the prices this is one of the best Chinese places in the city. It's excellent. Haven't had their sushi yet but I'm sure it's good at least if not great. Their Schezuan sauce is amazingly good. Waitress very friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu! read more

Lin's is a couple of blocks from my home so the location is very convenient. I have eaten there several times in the past but have never been overly impressed (positively or negatively) with their food but tonight my opinion changed for the worst. My friend and I placed a carry-out order and had a pleasant interaction with the hostess when picking it up. When we arrived home, however, we realized that none of the order was correct. We noticed the name on the receipt was correct but the phone number was not and concluded that it was an honest mistake (the price was very similar too). We returned to Lin's with the food and explained that it was not what we ordered. They confirmed that there were two orders with similar names and went to get our food. The folks who had ordered the food we were given were also waiting. To our surprise, the worker took the food we brought back and simply HANDED IT TO THE OTHER CUSTOMER! (Keep in mind we carried this food home, unpacked it, repacked it and returned it to the restaurant!) They were charged the full amount for that food. Our order came out quickly and the hostess stated the amount due ($1 or so more than what we were originally charged). She proceeded to refund our previous charge and then collected the full charge for our food. It was frustrating to wait for our credit card to be refunded only to be recharged considering the hassle of returning the food, but we thought "whatever." The order was now correct, but notably cold. There was also no side of sauce provided with the crab rangoon. I ran back to the restaurant to ask for a side of sauce and the hostess explained that crab rangoon was only served with sauce when dining in. I said I would like a side of sweet-and-sour sauce and she said it was $2. I was annoyed but was willing to pay it. I handed her $2 to which she said it is $2.12 with tax. I only had $2 in cash so I pulled out my credit card to which she replied: we have a minimum charge on credit cards. At this point, I was very annoyed and asked for some consideration restating the fact that we had just returned an erroneous order. She replied "I'm sorry." I will not be returning to Lin's Asian fusion any time in the near future. The service tonight was less than considerate, seemingly petty, and the food was mediocre at best. I encourage everyone to consider other options in the city. read more

Lin's is our go to take-out/delivery spot, our order is always fast and correct. It's not amazing, but consistent and not sketchy - exactly what I want in my Chinese takeout. I'll be honest, it took us a few trial and error moments and a brief hiatus for us to get our order right, but now we have it down. Here it is: - Triple delight w/ fried rice - Mixed meat udon - Honey chicken w/ steamed rice Sometimes if we're feeling crazy we'll add: - Singapore Mai Fun - Crab Rangoons - Soup of any kind We've also eaten in the restaurant and have never had a bad experience. read more

I had horrendous sushi there tonight. When I complained, politely mind you, it's not the servers fault. The manager straight up refused to talk to me, refused to refund me and had the nerve to call my friend back to the kitchen (she worked there previously) rather than talking to me. Now I'm horribly sick. I've puked all night. Because of a sushi roll I payed $14 for. I will never dine here or recommend this restaurant ever again. read more

Love the food here the presentation is always great, it is always fresh, and the food is always fast! I love that the windows open, there is usually a nice breeze. I have taken my grandma here a few times she loves the General Tso's shrimp, its not on the menu but they make it by request. They are open until 10! Which i just found out and that is great news lol i ordered a drink, heard the blender, and for some reason said drink was sitting on the counter until it melted while the servers were talking, but I wasn't gonna be a b!tch i drank it and it was good. Needless to say it's a great little hidden gem that everyone just walks by. STOP in and try the General Tso's it's one of the best! Now once you add Egg Foo Yung, you will get 5 stars! lol read more

I stopped by with a few friends for lunch,and we were not disappointed with the overall quality of food! Overall laid back ambience, enjoyed my casual lunch here!

Together they were great for the price! - friends ordered sushi,which they were very pleased with Things I didn't like: -minimum $10 order for credit cards. I fortunately had cash on hand otherwise I would've had to gingerly ease my way out of this pickle (with puns intended!) read more

It's disappointing to walk into a restaurant as a business traveler, place an order, and have them refuse your corporate card because there is a minimum charge. This is contrary to their agreement with card providers, and resulted in me walking out. I won't be returning. read more

If I could give zero stars - I would. Beyond AWFUL customer service skills. My order was delivered without two items. When I called for a credit towards my meal that I couldn't eat bc it wasn't delivered with everything, they only wanted to credit me for what was missing, not the entire meal that I cannot eat now. Ridiculous, go get schooled on how to manage your mistakes, it's okay we are all human and make them, try to learn from them. Not sure how you will succeed without customer service skills? Never again. Waste of money. Here's to eating duck sauce for dinner. read more
