We just had a long day working on location with the crew and we want food fast and not complicated. A Chinese buffet fits the bill, easy in and easy out and food right away without waiting. This Lin's Fusion seemed like a huge buffet from the reviews, so we headed over here. It located right off the 41 freeway at the East Shaw exit. Go west to Blackstone and turn left and go to the first light and turn into the shopping center. There's plenty of parking. WE go in and find the price is about $30 per person for dinner. I guess it's worth it, cause the place and choices are so big. We get seated and drink orders taken. Hey, I think they have a full bar here, so one COULD order cocktails with you Chinese food. We didn't, though I think a couple of my crew wanted to. The word "fusion" in the name of the buffet kinda didn't seem like any fusion with other than a regular Chinese buffet was going on. All the regular stuff was here in the way of Chinese food as well as sushi and the Mongolian grill area. There was lots of seafood out, like crab legs and salt pepper shrimp and other shellfish. All my crew is experienced at these kinda buffets, so they just headed up to the food and filled their plates. I like taking them to buffets, cause it keeps them all happy and buffets don't take 2 hours to eat at like some sit down restaurant. We all got our fill and did the full belly waddle outta there! read more

Decided to try this place today and frankly, not very impressed. Not worth the money - $36.25 for one person left me feeling pretty ripped off. I expect perfection for that cost. I came in right at 1600 for their dinner buffet menu. Was not told that a fountain drink costs extra. Buffet has some selection, but 1. No crab rangoons. Was told "We haven't had crab in years." (As I just ate a dish wish crab a minute prior) 2. Pizza tastes like something out of a high school cafeteria. The garlic bread however was pretty good. 3. The Hot and sour soup left much to be desired. Thick, full of mushroom and not much flavor. 4. No salad dressings at the salad bar. For $36, you'd think they'd put some ranch out? Thousand island? You know, the basics 5. Pudding for dessert. No ice cream. Pretty thin pickings Will I be giving this another go? Not in a million years for the price. This should be $16 for one person, not $36 for what they offer (or don't for that matter) read more

I visited Linn Fusion, for years since it was New China. Twice this year I've visited , and unfortunately both visits were disappointing. The food quality has gone downhill, which is disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The food tastes like freezer Chinese food rewarmed. Our large party was automatically charged a 15% gratuity, yet the service didn't justify it. Our server only brought water once and never refilled drinks till we were leaving. We were seated at the only table they have for large parties, located in the back near the dessert area. The table was wobbly, appeared to have a folding table added to make room, and was cramped and uncomfortable. What I don't understand is why large parties are charged extra when the seating and service are no different from any other table in the restaurant. If you're paying more, there should be better accommodations or added service, not the same experience everyone else receives. After two disappointing visits this year, I won't be returning. It's unfortunate because I used to love this restaurant. I suggest to go to another place for large parties or for business events. just fyi it was almost $300 for 5 adults 3 children. Also on a previous visit I went two hours before closing the food quality is extremely horrible and they don't refill the food anymore. They started mopping it smelled like dirty mop. Still charge full price. They just let you eat whatever is out. Sad to say read more

Came here on a Friday for dinner. It was somewhat busy but we got seated immediately for 2 people. The host seated us a table that was wet. The waitress explained to us she just wiped that table but we had to wipe it dry ourselves. I felt like that probably just have been communicated with the host. We looked at the menu and they had a wide selection of food. This place is a buffet but they have hotpot options. We decided to do only the buffet option and get unlimited boba drink ($59.90 for both+ $5.95 boba fruit tea). Not bad $30 for a lot of food. The strawberry fruit tea with popping boba was good. It wasn't too sweet. But I got another drink and got the mango fruit tea w/ lychee jelly. That was too sweet for my liking. They had a huge selection of all types of Asian food. They had seafood, sushi, hotpot, BBQ, dim sum, Chinese food, and even hibachi which I haven't seen before at a buffet place. Pretty standard buffet, you get your plate and put food in your plate to whatever you like to eat. The coconut shrimp and the steak with the steak juice was probably my favorite. I like how the sushi bar has nigiri and sashimi with ginger and wasabi on the side. I had hard time looking for the soy sauce which I normally Think it's next to the sushi but it was at a different station. Can't expect high quality food at a buffet. Some of the food was dry like the ribs, salmon, and crawfish. I wanted more of the crawfish but they were empty and needed to wait for the refill. I didn't see any crab legs which was a bummer. This place is family friendly. Service was pretty decent. She came around and refilled our waters. You can get dessert and ice cream as well. Overall, not bad. I would come back. read more

** I really appreciate the assistant manager taking the time to respond, and reminding me that there are always two sides to every story. I do apologize for jumping to conclusions, and I am adjusting my rating as well. ** Been here multiple times. Don't usually have an issue. We happened to stop in on a busy Friday evening which was expected since they have a buy one get one promotion. The night took a turn when the pregnant manager began arguing loudly with a man in the middle of the dining room about the promotion. I understand when you work in customer service and it gets busy, as a manager you can't always afford to take time repeating yourself over and over, but there was an obvious language barrier and there was no need to be aggressive with him in front of half the restaurant. Food was good as usual, waiters were very kind despite being clearly busy. read more

Wow, I've never felt more overwhelmed at a buffet before, but the hungry rush of a Mother's Day customers made it feel a little crazy in here. All that said, I'll be back! We sat in the enclosed patio and it was a little warm, but away from the noisy dining room. This buffet is loaded with a large sushi bar, dumpling section, multiple rice sections, classic chinese take out options like orange chicken, beef and broccoli, sweet n sour pork, an course chow mein. Not to mention a build your teppanyaki area! Everything here is made fresh, including the sushi, which was one of my favorite items. There's literally four sushi chefs making it constantly so as soon as the plates are empty, they can be refilled. That's basically the same strategy for all of the stations here. As soon as anything started to run out, the staff was refiling it. My kids loved it with my son trying his first raw oyster... he's not a fan, LOL. I suggest coming for lunch, you'll be saving about $10 and get primarily the same meal. read more

Surprisingly, we dined here twice last week. Party of 6 on Sunday, and our party of 13 the following Saturday. Since had not dined the stir fry in a while, I decided to make and request a plate on my 3rd or 4th trip to the buffet. Reminding myself, from this day on, partake the stir fry station every visit. Our servers on both visits were good about keeping our drinks refilled. We will gladly return. read more

It's been a long time since I'd been here, and they've added a hot pot option, so we decided to give it a go. Arrived at noon on a Saturday and it was not terribly busy. We got a hot pot with two different broths and proceded to order some meats and pick out some veggies from the buffet area. The server was delightful. Overall, the hot pot was good. When we moved onto the other regular buffet dishes, things took a downward turn. I couldn't find anything that was good, other than the sushi. Every hot dish we tried was disappointing. With other hot pot options in the area, I don't know if we'd return. read more

With a party of 28 who frequently visits, we were really disappointed in the staff this time. Servers were nice. They were accommodating. However, we love crawfish and mainly come for that. Whether we were all together or not, 28 customers are 28 customers. We noticed they stopped putting the crawfish out. Then they brought us our check not even 40 mins of us being there. It's a buffet isn't it? Why limit people on what they're allowed to eat? If I paid just like everyone else and I only want crawfish then allow me to eat just that. It's not like we were eating 10 plates at a time. Not only that, but we got bottomless Thai tea and no one was around to refill our drinks. Again, what's the whole point to bottomless? Very very disappointed that they rushed us out by bringing our check early. read more

Went in on weekend all you can eat. Shrimp sushi was good. Roast duck, usually a tricky item, wasn't quite right (skin not crackling, but this is a AYCE after all. Also found a bug in the hagao. They pulled it immediately (this was at opening and nobody else had eaten from it). read more

This is the only buffet thus far that I actually like coming to. I love that I can create my own fresh noodles with veggies and meat. It has a sushi bar for those that enjoy sushi. It can get pretty full during the weekends so be ready to wait, especially on a holiday. read more

Lin's Fusion - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Been here plenty of times. Place looks crowded but they do have plenty of seating outside. Service is always attentive when it comes to refills and cleaning off the tables for each round of food. They could use another restroom though. Front restroom is tight and small, feels like you're stuffed in a small room with no ventilation. They have a private restroom towards the back but it's just one stall and the line gets long. I like that they offer hot pot, a bar and endless boba of course for an extra fee. They do have deals on certain days and times of the week which is good. I think this buffet is one of the better ones here in Fresno. They always have everything ready to eat and freshly made. I like coming here for the seafood and you gotta bring your own sauce aka crack sauce to eat with it. Come to realize they have a whole sauce station now because of the hot pot so if I didn't have my own sauce I would be able to make the exactly same thing there! They have a wide variety of dishes, although it can be a hit or miss. The noodle/ habachi station is usually good but people can mistakingly not know how to order still. The man that usually works behind the counter doesn't communicate just gives you a blank stare and points. Kinda discouraging. Overall I still enjoy coming here when my back is feeling extra big lol read more

Had a great time celebrating my bf's dad's bday here! There was such a great variety of asian foods. i especially liked the mongolian chicken. The fam enjoyed the sushi and seafood options too. What was funny was we didn't realize they had ice cream. We were looking for the typical ice cream machine all over and it wasn't until on our way out, close to the entrance, that we saw the ice cream chest with individually packed ice cream and popsicles!!!!! lol. There's even a sign that says "Yes! We have ice cream" hahaha. So i'm sure we weren't the only ones confused. Also I wanted to shout out Josephine who brought out a little cake for our celebrant even though we were on the way out. She's so sweet and that really put the cherry on top of our visit! :) read more

Lin's Fusion - Me and dad at lins - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Hands down to Lin's Fusion for being the best buffet in Fresno. Everytime I come here, they never disappoint me. Today, I came here to try their new Hot Pot selections and Boba Drinks. Sadly, they don't have Boba Drinks today; I don't know what was their reason for not having it. HOT POT :: You get to pick 2 base. SPICY MALA PORK (M SPICE) : Our server recommend us these two flavors. Boy their buffet was phenomenal already and this base is not bad. It's pretty awesome. Very flavorful, herby and light spice. You don't need a lot of additives or condiments. It's already perfect. RATE : 5/5 TOM YUM : The Tom Yum is whatever to me. It's not my favorite... It's ok... But, more on the sourness side. Be aware, the sourness is pretty potent; which will wake up every of your taste buds. RATE : 3/5 BUFFET :: They never disappoint their flavoring on all of their dishes. There's no dishes here that does not taste good. They always refilling low dishes. So some food might have sit a little bit longer than usual. RATE : 5/5 PROS : Supper flavorful food. All dishes are bomb. CONS : Small selections. BARS :: HOT POT : Condiments (fish sauce, siracha, chili sauce, seaseme bean oil paste, chili oil, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cilantro, green onions, etc.), veggies (bean sprout, bok choy, mushroom, etc.), noodles (ramen, etc.), and little sides of meat selection for the hot pot (shrimp, fried tofu, quil eggs, squid, chinese bread, etc.). FRUIT : Fresh fruits ( orange, grapes, etc.), canned fruits(peach), korean marrinated seaweed, kimichi, jello, chocolate/vanilla pudding, etc. SUSHI : variety of sushi here. Most of them are the same fillings but just places/design differently. So when you eat it, it taste the same. Some have unagi sauce on it. Eel, mango with rice. Etc. DESSERTS : Varieties of cookies and cakes. FRESH SOUP/NOODLE : There's a bar where you can make something fresh here. First you have to grab your cold stuff first. Choice of noodles, meat and veggies. You hand it to them and it's either stir fry noodles or soup base noodle. There are a few different type of soup base. I usually like the beef broth base. It reminds me of Pho! It's not the best but it's actually pretty good. MEAT : duck and sausage. (This morning @ 11am) besides the chopping board, there's a pizza box to keep the pizza hot. DUMPLINGS/BREAD/POSTICKER/SIDE SOUPS : Lastly, don't forget this area. It's a but hidden to the side. Not a lot of people go here. But they do have asians buns, pot stickers, dumplings, sweet and sour soup etc. SERVER : Did a great job today. She's very attentive and help us manage our hot pot while we were not paying attention/eating. She got us in and out quick. LUNCH MENU : There's not a lot of dishes difference comparing to dinner time. $18.95 per person is a steal. Dinner rate is at $26.95. We also had hot pot on top of our tab; $7.95 per person. INTERRIOR :: Nicely renovated to classy high gloss tiles on walls. They did great on interrior designing. It's a buffet but it feels so classy inside. Even the bathrooms are really nice! OVERALL :: Once again, they never dissapoint on making those dishes! Hands down! Lin's is the best buffet in Fresno! I'll say their hot pot is actually the best hot pot base in town. If I were to compare with other locations, Lin's hot pot is more flavorful than anywhere else. The only down side about Lin's dishes selection and location is small. But, I still rather have them focusing on making us quality food rather than quantity. Thanks Lin's! read more

This was my first time at Lin's Fusion and it will definitely be my last. Firstly they sat us at a wet dirty damp table , that had crumbs. I ended up cleaning it off myself because the attention span from staff was nonexistent. The food was honestly gross, and there was a bone in my salmon that stabbed my mouth ..something I've never experienced anywhere else. Which was really disappointing because I LOVE Salmon everywhere I go. They offer Mil discount but you will not get it if you come to eat close to 8pm because you were seated at a certain time "so they can't apply it" (they will not tell you that though until the end ) On top of that, the service was terrible. Our waiter kept taking our plates before we were even finished, and at one point we were left sitting there without forks. Just confused . Never offered another set, not ONCE. I'm also concerned on the working labor here. Some people seem to not understand/speak English at all (which is fine) however they seem very exhausted , confused and I'm genuinely concerned . When I went to the bar to order a drink, the lady clearly standing at the bar tells me, "Sorry, she went home no alcohol." At 8 PM. Absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant. But I will say there was ONE sweet staff there, super young with so much potential and sweet energy. She is too pretty to be working in that environment, I would not want anyone to associate me with that place! Girl leave read more

People waiting for it and tray is not refilled . read more

Today we went to Lin's Fusion and we were very surprised. We received the best service we have ever received from a server there. Savannah was excellent and was so amazing. She let us know about the app, came around constantly to see how we were doing, and did not hesitate in answering or fulfilling any request we had. Savanah has delivered and also given us a very good reason to visit in the future. Thank you Savannah for all your assistance and for going above and beyond. If you visit ask for Savanah she will blow you away with her excellent service. Thank you read more

The food is better than the last time I was there, but that was a decade ago, so I don't think that counts. It is relatively affordable for the buffet and the $5.95 bottomless boba + gratuity to make it justifiable and the food really is a plus. I would just say that the desserts could be better, especially the egg tarts and the slice of cake that they had. The crust of the egg tarts were stale and the custard rubbery, while the slice of cake (I think was cheesecake or something similar?) was straight up like a form prop. It was very hard and dense and just did not taste good. The service was great, though, and our server let us know upfront that we did not need to tip and even selected the no tip option when we were paying. I know some people like not tipping, but I tend to do it even if services is less than stellar. The other servers and wait staff were very nice as well and our original server even came back to check on us when we requested a new table with better accommodations. Both the inside and patio sections were nice and clean, but I do think the patio area could've been lit up. The only light coming in was from the emergency exit facing the front door and from the dining area. Aside from that, it was nice and clean the entire time. All in all, I would go again and definitely do recommend the bottomless boba as it's now cheaper than other boba places, albeit with less selections and only 4 toppings to choose from. read more

Disappointed and won't be coming back. It's been a while since our last visit because the previous experience wasn't great. My sons were hesitant to come again--they actually wanted Chinese food--but we decided to give this place another try. Unfortunately, we regret it. The prices have gone up to $27 per adult not including drinks, and the food quality just isn't worth it. Everything lacked flavor, and the food sat out for long periods without being refreshed unless it was completely gone. I was hoping for some salmon, but the one that was out had clearly been sitting there for over 40 minutes. When I asked for a fresh piece because it looked dry and old, the staff told me they wouldn't bring out a new one until the current one was finished. The only thing I enjoyed was the fruit bar--fresh watermelon and pineapple. Honestly, I do not recommend this place. For the price, you can get much better food and service elsewhere. read more

Lins fusion is a great place for lunch or dinner. It is responsibly priced and they always have a great selection. I love this place.

I want to update my review. I returned to dinner and the food tasted fresh this time, our server was there to get our drink order timely. Good selection of food for dinner menu. read more

I'm sorry I have to leave this review. But why the heck does this place have a line out the door every time I drive by? Went in last night. And the little I tried, was enough for me to be done. Half the sushi rolls had hard rice on top. Like they had been sitting there all damn day! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, tasted so strongly of sesame oil.. I couldn't even find the flavors of what I was eating over that. Some of the veggies were overcooked. Some were apparently "cooked" yet they were raw in drowning in sauce basically. Went to get a salad hoping they couldn't screw that up. Yet there was no salad. Bar was completely picked over and gross. And every corner I turned.. someone was coughing in the food. I requested my check, paid and left the food we had on the table. I already paid too much for what I had eaten and what was on our plates. No way in hell I'd let them charge me for the extra food I literally couldn't eat. All I have to say is.. most of you all leaving these reviews must have mediocre taste buds at best. This place is AWFUL! SO awful I'm considering disputing with my bank, especially after my hubby got sick last night. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I got a bunch of different delicious looking items. Everything in 2, to share. Even got sugar biscuits. Then went to checkout and the worker weighed it. I paid for it And it was Really inexpensive! Especially with all that I got! Wished well & left! Also, they were constantly trading in the food so you know everything is fresh! Lunchtime! My half was REALLY FRESH & DELICIOUS! Getting to try a little bit of everything and it was all Great is awesome! Mother said her half was Great & that it had a lot of flavor! Plus, sugar biscuit for dinner! Great service, Great price & Great, Delicious lunch! Highly recommended! read more

Food wasn't too bad, they offered a decent selection. Desserts was very limited in that area since there's only a few option to choose from. A bit disappointed that they didn't offered any crabs beside oysters that sat out there especially during mothers day weekend. Service wise was great, the staff were attentive and quick. Ambiance is not the best. It's very dingy in there, perhaps they can upgrade some seatings and changes to the interior. It's just doable, but could be better for the eyes. If you are going on a busy day & have more than 4 parties, it is best to make your reservation on here (yelp). We went on a Fri before mothers day Sunday and there wasn't a lot of people waiting outside, even with our reservation - parry of 6, it took an hr before we were called in. read more
