The Place is good...fried chicken wings w/chicken fried rice my go to. Never failed .

Their beef noodle soup is so bad they should be embarrassed to serve it. The broth has no taste, as if they used the reused the water they used to boil the noodles and didn't bother to make a real broth. The beef is soggy and tasteless. The noodles are mushy, 3/4 of the way to disintegration. Can't say anything about their other food, but this soup was bad enough for me to not trust that any other dishes would be any better. read more

I finally learned my lesson with this place. I don't eat Chinese food often but when my co-workers want to grab something together, we take a walk to this place. Twice I've been ripped off. My co-workers and I went at 1pm for lunch. I ordered the boneless spare ribs lunch special. She asked if I wanted the combo, I said yes. The menu said the combo is $9.95. The staff said my total is $11.68. I was confused by the high price. After I paid, I examined the menu being confused why it was high, and what was the difference between lunch special and combo if both come with fried rice and egg roll. She couldn't give me a clear answer other than the lunch special ends at 3:30pm. Ok but it's 1pm. Then said combo is bigger and soda is NOT included. You have to pick between egg roll or soda. But my meal is the same size as my co-workers who also ordered from the lunch menu. So I'm guessing we all paid for the combo instead of lunch special. After I left, I saw on the receipt I was charged $10.95 instead of $9.95 for the "combo". My co-workers also found that they were overcharged when they looked at their receipts. They lost my business with this. read more

Out of desperation, I called in a General Tso's Combination with Pork Fried Rice for $10.50 and I never tasted such a flavorless Chinese food before in my life. I don't know what it was, lack of soy sauce/salt?? It just tasted very bland to me. The General Tso's felt like it needed more heat and more soy sauce. The fried rice might as well be white because that's what it tastes like. I should've asked for 20 soy sauce packets because that's what was missing! This is why I pay them to feed me absurd amount of sodium, I shouldn't have to do it myself! Lol read more

My boyfriend and I were looking to try a new Chinese spot and deviate from you usual. I decided to go out on a whim and try this place despite the horrible reviews. It was really hard for me to decided whether 3 or 4 stars was appropriate. I'm giving them 3 stars because while some of the food was good, it seemed to be a hit or miss with some of the items. In addition to that, one of their menu items was priced incorrectly resulting in a hire spending amount but I'll get into that later. We ordered: Half Chicken with House Special Fried Rice (Tasted A-M-A-Z-I-N-G) Half Chicken (Again....flavorful) Crispy Chicken 7 Flavor (Tasted Great!) Thai Pad Thai (Horrible - They didn't even use Pad Thai Noodles and was on the dry side) Fried Squid in Chile Sauce (Meh - Fishy taste and not as spicy and flavorful as I had hoped, I guess the fishy taste overpowered the flavor. ~~TIP: DEFINITELY DO NOT ORDER THIS IF YOU'RE EXPECTING A FRIED CALAMARI TYPE DISH!!~~) With this purchase, we received a free 2-liter soda (mwnu does not indicate what coupons they offer). They are a bit more pricey than what I'm normally used too but if you stick with the usual stuff and nothing usual chinese spots DON'T have (i.e. Fried Squid, Thai Pad Thai) this place will definitely satisfy your taste buds! Just be aware, some items on the menu may be priced differently that what it says. i ran into this issue with the Squid. The menu said $8.25 but when I double checked with them, they said it was $10.75. When I told them what the menu said, they didn't offer to change it all they could say was "No, it's $10.75, the menu is wrong." So just keep that in mind. Also, there is only street parking so it could be hard to pick up an order. The service was slightly below average but that's usually how it is with most chinese spots. Other than the minor menu issue I had, overall, I would definitely come back here for the basics, not the Gourmet food suggested in their name. read more

My family and I usually order from this restaurant by my house but no more after tonight. The lady forgot to put my rice in my bag which I didn't realize until I got home. I called she apologized and said she would bring the rice to my house but it would take 30 minutes because it's busy. Fine, we are all human we make mistakes. 80 minutes later, still no rice. I call back she tells me that she is busy and asks do I really need the rice tonight?? I guess once they got my money they didn't care about me anymore. It was more important to service the other customers than me!!!! Never ordering from here again read more

Lin's is my favorite for the Lunch Menu delivery . The food is FRESH !!!!!! and delivery is FAST. We have had the Full Menu items too, same good quality food ..especially the rice...In SOME Chinese venues , you can tell when rice has been sitting around and just re-heated for orders ...well not at Lins.. read more

This is probably the worst food I've ever eaten, no joke. Ordered pad Thai and subbed out egg and shrimp for tofu. It was mushy and taste nasty. I can say with sureness that I will never be a customer of theirs again. This was inedible food. When we called to complain quality we were met with rudeness and no refund or exchange. I strongly do not recommend this restaurant on a basis of terrible customer service and terrible food. AND they had the nerve to charge my card TWICE! read more

The food was good, the shrimp broccoli was good, but I don't trust this place. I got a free box of white rice with my order and thank goodness I didn't eat it. I left it in my fridge to eat it the next day. I microwaved it and it smelled like burning plastic. The consistency felt like fake snow or the contents inside the diaper that soaks up liquid. I mean I could just be paranoid with all the fake food that's been popping up but I know what melted plastic smells like. read more

There were two reviews that gave this place one star. I now know why. Let's just say the best tasting item from what I ordered was the plain white rice that came with the chicken and string beans. If you're looking for food with no taste, then for sure this is the place to go. Will not be ordering from here in the future and stick to Neptune Cafe. read more

Food is fantastic. Much higher quality then other Chinese/Asian food places in the area. Great for pick up or delivery, not so much for eat in. 1/2 a star reduction for being pricier and 1/2 star reduction for the dine-in area. Highly recommend otherwise. read more

I have unusually high expectations for Chinese food after 4 years of college and ordering from every spot within a 10 mile radius of college. So after a long shift, and a strong craving of Chinese, I found myself ordering enough food for four. So on my binge eating event, I got steamed chicken dumplings, chicken wings, veggie lo mein and shrimp and broccoli. Chicken dumplings were ok, nothing specular. Prob will try them fried next time. Wings were salty and crispy and amazing, nothing beats that. But the star was the shrimp and broccoli. Large shrimps and crunchy, al dente broccoli that wasn't too soggy or drenched in sauce. Basically my new life saving Chinese joint on my random binges. read more

I've been trying to find a decent Chinese takeout place in Jersey City since I moved here 2 years ago and after 3 failed attempts on 3 different spots I just gave up. This past weekend I decided to give Lin's gourmet a shot after reading other reviews and I WAS NOT disappointed. We ordered the steam pork bun which is really tasty! it's no Joe's Shanghai soup dumpling but it's really good for a regular kind. Beef Chow fen is as good as you can get in a takeout place and that's what won my heart. If a Chinese takeout place mess up Beef Chow Fen then you can skip everything else all together. We also ordered 2 veggies and they are on the lighter side, they are not salty nor drenched in soy sauce so you actually taste the flavor of the veggies. Maybe that's why some reviewers said it was bland. I was so mad that I just discovered this place now and I sure will be ordering more from them! read more

How has this place not been reviewed yet? I must order from here once a week at minimum. I'm seriously becoming Sandra Bullock from Two Weeks Notice. I stock up on my Chinese orders bc it's so good and I want a variety! It's quick (less than an hour.. usually like 35-40 minutes), they know where my complex is and how to access it, and they never screw up the order. Plus, the food is pretty delish. I'd highly recommend their noodle dishes, dumplings, juicy mini pork buns (i.e. soup dumplings), or combo/lunch specials. It comes neatly packed and the pricing is not outrageous. You can go online to order from them, so you don't even need to have a conversation with anyone!!! They also accept credit cards or cash. Once you've logged on and ordered, you can store your info and just reorder or build out a new order. Very convenient. Highly recommended!!! read more

One of the best take out places in all of Greenville. Prices are a little higher than some but remember, you get what you pay for. Love the boneless ribs. No fat and moist. Chicken and broccoli an all time favorite. Asked for fresh mushrooms to be added and they were without an issue. Will customize your dish anytime. I often ask to have whatever the staff had for lunch. Sometimes it was something not even on the menu. I love a culinary adventure. They introduced me to Chinese broccoli. Yum! Accurate with delivery times. Highly recommend. read more

I had the shrimp and broccoli which was great. This place is always nice over the phone and they even have online ordering. Very convenient and fast with great quality!! read more

Order there steamed chicken dumplings! You will not be disappointed. Love their food read more

My friend who gets delivery to his place at 172 culver ave regularly, turned me on to Lins gourmet few months back when he ordered the ribs. The spare ribs are outstanding and tonight I said to try the chicken wings. Well they are golden crispy and fresh also. Not your regular old Chinese chicken wings. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

They take forever. So long that I had to call and cancel the order then the woman cursed me out on the phone.

This spot is legit. Good Chinese food and not too far from my place. Food always comes hot when delivered. Sauces used for different dishes are on point. If you buy enough food you get some extra stuff on the side like sodas. Chicken dumplings and shrimp rolls can never go wrong. Chicken and broccoli is my fave. read more

We had the below: Good: Dumplings House lo mien Beef and broccoli Below average: Fried half chicken - dry and overcooked Vegetable fried rice read more

I would give 7 stars if I could. Never judge a book by its cover because by the look of this place on it's outside appearance you would probably pass it up. Once inside, it's a different experience. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I still keep coming back. Don't matter if it's the same week or the next day! Even though now I order the same thing all the time now.! Food is very fresh and always hot!!! read more

I tried the wonton soup only - I found it to be sub par - there was no pork to be found. It tasted ok but I have had better wonton soup.

Lin's has great food. They cook it the way you ask them too. I first learned about Lin's on grub hub, because I was new to jersey city from NY so I was looking for a place that had chinese food like I'm use to when I lived in NY and I must say Lin's has not disappointed me yet. I have tried different foods and every one I have tried was great. So if you want excellent chinese food try Lin's read more

Their food was bland. My roommate and I ordered from this place two days ago and let's just say...NEVER Again! Their fried rices barely had any vegetables, or beef or shrimp, it tasted like just cooked rice mixed in oil. The fried chicken wings was their only saving grace. read more

I have always found their food good. One day i ordered delivery and was short about $0.80 to meet the delivery minimum and they refused to accommodate. I had never had that issue with them before...they lost a customer for that. read more

NEVER AGAIN! this place is terrible. I ordered fried cheese wontons and they gave me enough sauce for at least 1 wonton. I called to ask about this portion and all he explain to me was that no one ever complained. That's what you say when a customer has a question?! Then he hung up on me when I asked for the specific name of the restaurant, since my boyfriend was the one who ordered. I won't order from this place at all. It's not even the fact that their portion sucked. Just his attitude was enough for me. read more

Been ordering from lin' s for 4 years....i love them...the only place I order from....as a matter a fact I just placed an order....shrimp egg foo young is the bomb and they use real rice....as long as I live in this hood...they are my go to Chinese food.... read more

Consistently good food, and I've ordered numerous times. I always order on-line then pick-up; never had any problems. One thing though--some of the on-line prices are not the same as what's on the current menu, but only by cents. It might be significant on some items where you place more than one order; a good example is the fried chicken wings which has a 50-cent difference, so that's already an additional dollar on 2 orders. Oh, and brown rice is an addition; not a substitute. Overall, a pleasant experience so far; and the owner's kids have been very helpful lately so definitely no language issue. I'm glad this place is around for when I have the craving . . . read more

My wife is a huge chinese food fan where as I am not. I usually protest chinese for dinner but every once in a while I have to give in...but I've gotta say, I haven't had anything for Lin's that I haven't enjoyed. Their General T'so's Chicken is great and its crispy when it arrives which is a huge plus for me. I love their fried wontons as well and my wife is in love with their pork fried rice. You can't go wrong with this place, their delivery service is super fast too. read more

Like the people love the food. Ordered from Lin's since last year . This is the only place for Chinese food in Jersey City. Owner's daughter seems to provide some help for parents after school . i hope mine does the same for me. Thank u for making me good food guys ! Keep up the good work! read more

The worst Chinese food and service ever, don't believe the "gourmet" name. Its easter Sunday and my family and I were busy doing easter stuff. We come home late and had to order out which we dread in my area. Only thing open was this place with the name "gourmet" Chinese food so we decided to gave it a try . We saw beautiful pictures on Yelp" which are fake" and thought it must be great we ordered everything vegeterian and didn't get vegetables .No vegetables!!!!! None in the vegatable Lo mien, non in the vegetables fried rice and non in the egg rolls they sold us fried bull crap... Straight garbage and my family being that they was so hungry and late we ate it. Its now got us sick from all the oil. This was the most nasty food I have ever ate from a delivery place, can't believe they would sell this crap . PS: the same person on here posted the fake food and are posting fake reviews don't support this crap, we don't need places like this in our neighborhood. read more

Just ordered here for the first time but not the last! By far the healthiest, freshest tasting Chinese food I've ever had. Glad we found them. read more

Lady on the phone was very rude and would not deliver to Exchange Place which is a 10-15 drive from the restaurant. Don't know how they expect do to do business in Jersey City. read more
