Excellent. We have dined in and ordered takeout multiple times. At this point, everything we've tried on the menu has been a hit. Our current favorites are the chicken fried rice, the chicken egg rolls, and the tangerine chicken. Their portions are large. My boyfriend and I have shared a plate before and been full. The staff is always friendly. Tip: look closely at the decor when you walk in at first glance, it is Asian style, but there is Bible scripture and references to Jesus everywhere which we love. read more

Amazing service! Very friendly and kind server. Lo Mein, Wonton soup and Crab Rangoon were delicious and fresh. Will definitely be back! read more

Honestly, I am super surprised that this has 4.5 stars. That was some of the most disappointing Chinese food we have ever had, both in flavor and texture. read more

I had the jalapeño beef, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The crab Rangoon was a bit flat but had a normal amount of filling and tasted good. The jalapeño beef was loaded with jalapeños and red and green bell peppers, with a flavorful sauce and tender, not-too-fatty beef, actual beef. This is the kind of Chinese food I've been looking for in Austin. The food tasted fresh, and like it was made with care, with generous portions. The customer service was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can tell they take pride in both their food and service. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and it looked nice. I'll be back when I'm in the area and have a craving for Chinese food. read more

The food here is so delicious and fresh. We ordered the egg drop soup, crab rangoon, cashew chicken & honey walnut shrimp (both with a side of brown rice). The service was so wonderful too - they even called me to double check I knew I had ordered pickup from the Leander location (since they have another location in Georgetown). It's located in a wonderful little complex that has lots of lovely small businesses and shops. We will definitely be regulars here! read more

Lin's Cafe II - Egg Drop Soup, crab Rangoon, C3. Cashew Chicken, H6. Honey Walnut Shrimp (12 Pieces) with brown rice. - Chinese Near Me - Leander, Texas

Lin's Cafe is hands down one of the best spots for Chinese food. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--everything tasted authentic and made with care. From the savory entrees to the generous portions, every dish exceeded expectations. What really stood out just as much as the food was the customer service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making sure everything was just right and that we felt appreciated as customers. It's clear they take pride in both their food and their service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Lin's Cafe to anyone looking for great Chinese food and excellent hospitality. read more

The food is fresh & delicious sauces! The egg rolls were light & large! Tasted like homemade! Service was warm & attentive! The vegetables in each dish were cooked to crispness & full flavor! The chicken tasted tender & cooked to perfection! The eggplant tasted divine! We will be back!!! Great location. Plenty of parking. read more

Food was great as usual! Service was wonderful too. Ambiance is kind of plain, but the food more than makes up for it. It's further for us than the original Lins on Williams but worth the drive! read more

Sadly was not a fan of this place. I ordered carry out/ take out vegetarian lo mein and friend rice, seasame chicken and general tso chicken. The noodles were thick, very dry and tough, not what you'd expect when eating lo mein and the veggies sizes were huge. The chicken was ok but not worth another visit in my opinion. I have not been to this location myself so maybe the experience is different. read more

OK, NOW, my husband and I finally came IN to the restaurant. So, now I can say, they have GREAT service! As soon as you walk in they direct you to a table, and waitress was right there. Even though we knew the menu from ordering thru the delivery app, we wanted to try a couple other things. The two main things we KNEW we had to order again though were the deep fried dumplings as an appitzer and the Singapore Noodles. OMG, They were both great! I am telling you, the Singapore noodles is something I have never seen at any other Asian restaurant, and it is the best item on their menu! Now, for entree, my husband tried the Szechuan Beef and Scallops. I tried it, and not as spicy, as thought it would be, by it's name, and looked like not a lot on the plate. I got the Happy Family (Shrimp, Scallops, Beef and chicken with mixed vegetables in brown sauce). Again, I like getting all the meats (like the Singapore noodles and in the past the combination fried rice). It was very good, not over sauced (like some places do). We finished our plates! (*took rice home, as noodles filled us up). The thing I love about this place is is had dishes you don't see at other places. Yes, they have your "traditional dishes"...and if you want that, fine. But, when I go to a restaurant, I look for items that are different. So, always go to their "Specialties" section! You will not be disappointed! Will keep eating (delivery and inside). Great food and great service! read more

We order regularly from Lin's Cafe II in Leander. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious! The service is excellent, and the folks who own the cafe are very nice folks, very accommodating. The cafe is always very clean and the environment is very nice. The only suggestion I would give to the owners is to add more mushrooms to their Healthy Option Chicken dish. The mushrooms are delicious, but there's never enough. I highly recommend Lin's Cafe II to my neighbors and friends!! read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night 7:30. We were sat right away, very clean restaurant and super friendly staff. We ordered orange chicken based on the amount of reviews that mentioned it. It did not disappoint-very fresh, great flavor and generous portion sizes. We also tried the sesame chicken, served with steamed rice. I found the flavor to be really good, and the chicken was cooked well. I will definitely come back for this alone. For starters we tried the egg rolls, won ton soup and egg drop soup--all wonderful. The iced tea was so good I got some to go! Definitely give this location a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Food is really good! I'd definitely go back. Was it mind blowing? No, but very tasty and flavorful

Enjoy the pad thai, vegetable soup, and shrimp rolls. Tried a few other items - tofu dishes were good, the walnut/honey shrimp has too much of the Mayo/sweetened condensed milk. Customer service is the absolute best every single time. I'll continue to keep going. read more

My food was good as always My son was disappointed with his He was also disappointed with the service as the server only addressed me and not him as well. He was quite offended and won't be returning He believes that all patrons should be looked at adresssed and recognized read more

I feel like we struggle to find good chinese food in this area. This place was a little out of the way from where we were, but it had good reviews so we thought we would give it a shot. We did an order to go. We ordered about 30 minutes in advance and it was ready when we got there. Everything was really fresh and cooked perfectly. Our order consisted of Singapore noodles, tofu with garlic sauce, Mongolian beef, orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The Singapore Noodles were a group favorite. They have a curry flavor and a little kick. I'm not a tofu girl but the veggies and sauce in the tofu dish were really good. The Mongolian beef was tender and the onions were nicely grilled. The orange chicken was my second favorite. Even after a 30 minute drive home, it was still nice and crunchy with a thick coating of orange sauce. The chunks of chicken are quite large with all white meat chicken. If we are back in the area, we will definitely stop in here again! read more

Our service was unbeatable. Our server offered water and a choice of meal beverages as soon as we sat at the table of our choice. She brought our beverages immediately with menus. She checked back and asked if we were ready as soon as we played our menus on the table. ( 2 other customers there whom she also served. The food came promptly and was piping hot. The Sweet n Sour soup was delicious and had a very pleasant milt bite. Both the fried and steamed rice were served as a baseballs-sized ball and were easy to stop with chopsticks. My wife enjoyed her Shrimp with Lobster sauce and my moogoo Gi Pan was perfect. The chicken was so tender I could take a bite off a strip while holding the rest in the chopsticks. The Jasmine tea came hot and was delicious after it steeped a minute. . Our server checked on us a couple of times. My Fortune Cookie predicted my best wish as i am publishing my first Book "Gringo on the Rio". We will definitely be going back. 5 stars are just not enough! What a pleasant dining experience! read more

Lin's Cafe II - Min's Cafe ii - Chinese Near Me - Leander, Texas

I came here with my family after driving home from college after spring break. For the appetizer I got to try one of their Egg Rolls which came out hot, fast (~5-7 min), and crispy. It was filled with what tasted like pork, cabbage, and carrots and was very well-seasoned so I recommend trying it out. The Steamed Vegetables with Shrimp has a side of Brown Sauce and your choice of white, brown, or fried rice. I opted for the brown rice which was soft, fluffy, and moist so no complaints there. The shrimp was cooked beautifully and was surprisingly tender and the brown sauce was sweet and garlicky. So if you enjoy garlic like me it's a win. However, I do think the vegetables could have been cooked more as they were a bit too crunchy for my liking, but overall not bad! Service and ambience were phenomenal. The staff was very quick in bringing out our food and were very kind and sociable. In addition, the place was very clean and the bathroom was spotless! Overall, if you're driving through Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Leander, I would check this place out. read more

Lin's Cafe II - Steamed Vegetables with Shrimp (H06), comes with Brown Sauce and a I opted for Brown Rice - Chinese Near Me - Leander, Texas

I haven't dined in at the restaurant yet; I've only placed online orders for takeout. The online ordering system is pretty straightforward, although the text message validation can be hit or miss for me. My order is typically ready to go when I arrive, and I always choose to pay at the restaurant when I pick it up. The portion sizes are decent for the area and similar to other Chinese restaurants. I ordered the Mongolian Beef (Lunch) with Hot & Sour Soup and Fried Rice. The food arrived piping hot and bursting with flavor. My only wish is that there was an option to make it spicier. There are plenty of tables inside the restaurant when I came into to pick up my food. Everything looked clean and nice. Also tons of parking spaces in this plaza. read more

Lin's Cafe II - Mongolian Beef lunch - Chinese Near Me - Leander, Texas

This is a Chinese restaurant that I found after looking for a good place to get some generic Chinese food in the Leander area. The restaurant is average looking in terms of ambiance and employees are friendly and provide adequate service. Portions pretty big here. Voices are very reasonable. The fried rice is tasty and Mongolian Beef is definitely worth trying. I am looking forward to trying more items from this restaurant and I recommend giving this place a try. read more

A SOLID and TRUE GEM! Highlight - the Singapore noodle, hands down is the best Singapore noodle I've had in Texas! My confidence in making this strong statement comes not just from living in Singapore for a few years but from the perfect burst of curry + wok aroma going on with my first bite. Starter - best dang eggrolls ever Soups - tried the egg drop and wonton, both were phenomenal, the wonton soup personally is going to be my "'must over" every single time now. Shrimp Lobster - mild yet full of flavour Shrimp Lo mein - not overpowering, heavier on the noodle Shrimp Kung Pao - heavier on the gravy side, slight sweetness Pro tips - they have pictures on the wall of the actual dishes/entrees you can reference. Portions are generous! The service is kind and prompt, the place is clean - I'm a fan of this unexpected find! read more

As for as American Chinese food goes -- this place is pretty great! The atmosphere is bright and clean, although not very Chinese feeling, more of a café feel .... But I guess that fits the name well. Food was very good, and the Walnut Prawns were fantastic! Lastly, the staff here is amazing, friendly, and a pleasure all around. I took my mom, who lives close by, and she loved it and will definitely be back! read more

It's hard to find good Chinese cuisine in my general area but here at Lin's Cafe 2 the food was fresh and delicious! You can tell the quality is different and the food is cooked with care. Everything was nice and fresh. The dumpling and edamame as appetizers hit the spot. The dining area is cozy and small but nice and quiet. We y attended to right away and the server took their time to explain parts of the menu we had questions about. This was our first visit and it will be the first of many. The parking was sufficient for a dinner trip. They serve Coke products and iced tea. I would highly recommend Lin's! read more

I came in this evening to pick up a little bit of this and that for Things and I for dinner and to show the new kids on the block some love! Let's do this! Deep Fried Potsticker This twist on a classic Asian appetizer is deep fried, not steamed, as pot stickers are traditionally made. But they are equally as delicious! The potstickers served here are stuffed with flavorful, juicy pork, cabbage, ginger and garlic. They are steamed then pan fried to create an irresistible contrast between the top tender wrapper, golden crispy underside and rich, juicy filling. Well done! Hot & Sour Soup (Bowl) Hot and sour soup is a popular example of Sichuan cuisine. Similar versions are found in Henan province, near Beijing. The version served here was savory, spicy and tangy. Thai Chicken & Shrimp This dish was comprised of shrimp, chicken, green beans and a supposed Thai sauce. The jury is out on this one. The flavor profile for this dish was off and not balanced. It was as if someone decided "hey, I am gonna put some shrimp and chicken in a dish and put some sauce on it--then I will serve it". This wasn't for me. Orange Chicken Orange Chicken is one of the most popular dishes found in Chinese restaurants. It is not, however, a traditional Chinese recipe; it was invented and popularized by American-Chinese restaurants. This orange chicken recipe is sticky, spicy, and delicious. Lemon Chicken This chicken dish is a fan favorite with the Things. With simple flavor additions that don't overpower the dish, the natural flavor of the chicken is allowed to shine. The breaded lemon chicken was the best (yes, I said the best) lemon chicken in TX I have ever had. The lemon sauce that accompanied the chicken wasn't required as the chicken itself had enough zing to carry the dish. Bravo! Total for this take-out meal for three- $55.52 read more

Lin's Cafe II - Walnut shrimp,edamame - Chinese Near Me - Leander, Texas

Immediately when you walk through the door, the servers are at attention. And this theme continues through the meal as they make sure you have everything you need. We ordered: Szechuan style eggplant - so yummy with the eggplant cooked perfectly, not too dense and uncooked, and not too mushy that everything falls apart. I loved how saucy it was too because you could mix the extra with your rice. And don't be afraid of the spicy symbol! It just has enough to add a little kick to your bite. China town stir fry - the sauce in this dish was also so good! The vegetables all tasted really fresh and the meat was all pretty substantial. Especially the shrimp, they were bigger than I thought they would be. Honey walnut shrimp - this dish was one of our servers' personal favorites! And you can tell the restaurant really cares about the quality of the dishes they present because they told us that something wasn't right with the first dish they made so they were gonna remake it. We weren't even in a rush or upset but for the extra time it took to come out, they ended up giving us another bowl of rice. A+ service!! And when the dish came out, it was awesome. So creamy, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the broccoli was a nice break from the heaviness. I do wish the serving sizes were bigger but will definitely be coming back again! read more

My husband and I moved from Kyle last summer and Lin's was one of the first places we tried out here. Our first visit we were the only people in the whole restaurant. Last night the place was packed! And rightfully so! The food is ALWAYS hot and fresh and sooo flavorful. I wish you could see the steam in the attached photos. Andy and his wife are always so friendly and accommodating! No matter how busy it has gotten or if we go a couple weeks between visits, Andy always remembers my husbands order! Right down to any upgrades he gets. Everything is so flavorful, I have not ran into a dish I haven't enjoyed. Keep up the great service and food, the Yeverinos will always be back for more! read more

If you think a Chinese buffet is a sad representation of the food originating in one of the biggest and oldest cultures in the world, try this place instead. No buffet, praise Buddha! Everything is made to order, just for you (I mean, not the rice, but you know what I mean). Orange chicken, which to be honest is probably more American than Chinese, is a refreshing delight here. The chicken is quality chunks of chicken breast (not the less appealing bits), and it comes with orange rind in the sauce (my husband found the rind chewy but I thought it was evidence of REAL orange flavor). The artfully cut orange section was the perfect accent. Did I give you the impression there's only Chinese food here? My apologies. There is Thai, too! I enjoyed Thai shrimp and chicken. It was spicy (but not too hot although I'm sure you get get Thai hot if that's your torture) and a tiny bit sweet. Generous portion. Need something a little more decadent? Our crab rangoons were super fast and just the right amount of crispy. We dined in, but they looked to be doing a healthy amount of carry-out. For dine-in, we enjoyed real ceramic plates and real silverware. There's plenty of seating in a room with lots of front windows. read more

2nd visit - good food and service. Parking was good but we came at an off hour. The cold had us wanting soup and good Asian food - we were not disappointed! We tried to stay away from the front door - it was cold outside, but the room dynamics made it flow in just the same. We snuggled up against a wall and focused on food. Ordered soup and it was spot on Eggdrop and hot and sour. Pepper content in the hot and sour was a bit high but not unusual. I had the three meat King Pow - a large order and ate it all was really good. If your in the area suggest a visit or take out (very active take out) Eat well, be happy! read more

I loved that they had brown rice as an option. The edamame was crisp. The hot and sour soup has a great flavor. The Rangoon's were great. I don't have any complaints.

As big fans of China Cafe, following so many recommendations, last night we tried Lin II Cafe. We are from the West Coast, and Lin II's flavors and style were very similar to what we are used to. We enjoyed our meal and will go back. Best WonTon soup I've had in Texas. We went with friends and here is what we ordered: WonTon Soup - very good, only complaint, it was lukewarm, it needed a boost in temperature Pot Stickers - Fried. Tasty but the sauce lacked zing, it was boring. Singapore Noodle - Very good but needed more heat (spice). Was supposed to be rice noodle but appeared to be a thin egg noodle of some sort, which changed the texture. Combo fried rice - excellent MuShu Pork - Excellent Sweet & Sour Chicken - boring with no pineapple and only a few chunks of bell peppers, we had to request additional sauce. Mongolian Beef - Very tasty, super tender beef, variety of onions. General Tsoa' chicken - This was our one disappointment. The chicken itself was all breast meat, large pieces, cooked perfectly, but the thin sauce lacked tang, heat & depth of flavor, and was very sparse on the meat. All in all, good meal, friendly service, reasonably priced with good portion sizes. read more
