Food is good with lots of options. I'm gluten sensitive and the food always messes me up a tiny bit, but it's worth it once a month or two. I love the pepper beef, kung pao chicken, grilled seafood, the enchiladas(funny but actually delicious), and the steaks. GF loves the salt and pepper shrimp. The brussels sprouts can be hit or miss but when they're good they're good - and the garlic green beans are buttery and awesome. Hosts and servers are always nice. Ambiance inside is nice, it's dark and the colors are easy on the eyes. Not too pricey, and you get a lot of options. read more

Variety of foods to choose from. The place, clean, waitress is nice and keeps checking in on us and filling our waters. Food was delicious. No stomach ache issues at this buffet. read more

As usual, there is alot of variety here and most dishes are good, except the American foods of course. Only two chicken dishes are white meat, but those were good, the fried shrimp, noodles, rice and spring roll were good too. For $16 for lunch, it's definitely worth the price. read more

The restaurant is nice looking as far as aesthetics, and the staff is friendly and kind. The food was just not the greatest. My brother bit into a piece of fried chicken and blood came out. The men's room was despicable in the stalls. There's baked potatoes with no butter or sour cream. Overall, for the price paid, this was a very unsatisfactory experience. I won't be back to any of these restaurants, and do not recommend this place. read more

Accidentally drove by and decided to eat here. This place was packed. It was a weekend so price was $20 for adults and I think $13 for kids. You pay first before getting seated. The interior was pretty fancy and big, almost felt like I was in Vegas. I thought they had a pretty good selection and the food was pretty good. My husband didn't feel the same but he's a lot more picky. I do wish they had crab legs since it was weekend. Overall I enjoyed it and would come back again. read more

Food Asian food . Solid 4-star experience! They have a great variety of options to satisfy any craving, whether you want sushi, noodles, or fried seafood. The hibachi station is a huge plus--you get to pick your own ingredients and watch them cook it fresh right in front of you. read more

Came here with a large group of residents from my neighborhood & it was my first time trying this place, so I wasn't sure just what to expect. One thing that impressed me is they do have a Senior Discount. They got the tables ready for the 18 of us & we were seated & situated. I was surprised to see they not only offer Chinese food but American food on the buffet as well & I even found Chicken Enchiladas on there! Everything I had tasted good but the honeydew melon was iffy. Just my two cents. Very clean restaurant & good service. I will more than likely return. read more

First thing is you pay first before eating. The person ask me if I'd like to include a tip . I was taken back at first and then laughed with my wife . I told her tips are earned. How do I tip accordingly without even being serviced ? I could tell she didn't like that comment. Then the hostess who supposed to seat us never says hi. Never ask us to follow her to our table . We sort of just figured that she was the one seating us . She never asked if the table was okay . It wasn't! We moved on our own regardless of any interaction with her. The waitress was great and we tipped her well . The food was fair . Steak is extremely tough . The Asian food was below par for most buffets. I tried 8 dishes. I'm well experienced at the Asian buffet . read more

Staff was not friendly. The food was good, but a couple things. I put some thousand island dressing on my salad. The container was very messy and dressing tasted sour. The fish was very dried out. No one came by our table at all, except to leave water. One girl was cleaning off tables off. Never took our plates. It was not busy. Lots of empty tables. Leo just kept walking back and forth without anything in his hands, except once carrying something. Unfriendly. Won't be back until winter visitors are back. Better when they are here. read more

As far as Chinese Buffets go this one is the best in the state. The layout makes sense, and you don't need to dodge little old lady's throwing elbows on your direction as you are in line. The food pans are frequently refilled, which is probably why the people in the lines are not as aggressive. The food is really fresh and flavorful, with a wide variety of dishes available. It was clean inside and the servers were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is also large inside, with plenty of seating available. I had been meaning to try this place ever since they opened a few years ago but kept forgetting it when on the search for Chinese. I only remembered it this time because the night before I saw them on the Deans List of the Dirty Dining Report on Channel 5. Which means they passed with flying colors. read more

Food excellent & SO MANY CHOICES!! Very good service. Not too loud. Nicely decorated. We have been here at least six times & always enjoy!! read more

Delicious food atmosphere was amazing (I did drop my icecream) 5/5 stars this is the best buffet I've been to in some time read more

Lin's Grand Buffet - Food - Buffets Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I wrote a review a couple of days ago, Beatrice from Customer Service responded, I was asked to call a phone number which turned out to be the phone number of the restaurant that we attempted to eat at, and the manager Linda got on the phone, further upsetting me over what happened! This manager is nothing more than a bully! And why I would be asked to contact her is ludicrous! I am so done with this restaurant, they have caused me more anxiety and stress, all we wanted was to go there and enjoy a meal. I'm going to be 70 years old next year, I suffer from MS, the worst thing for me is stress, and the stress that has been caused by this one manager is sickening. read more

Well, I tried Linns again and to my Surprise, it really has not gotten much better than the first time that I went in here. Basically, everything tastes the same. I really wanted to like it but, it is just not that good. Please get better. I will try in another couple of years! read more

I came to this East Mesa Lin's only once, when there was a square dance festival about 1 mile away. But I have been to the Tucson Marketplace Lin's probably about 50 times, when I attend the gem show and other times for square dance festival. This Lin's isn't any different from any other LIns's The food items are all the same. My favorite items are the fried zucchini, the fried fish fillets, clams in black bean sauce, blue crabs, the Chinese donuts, the steamed whitefish, and the charbroiled steak. The steak is poor quality in that it has lotsa gristle and oingy boingies that you have to spit out, but the charbroiled flavor is intense, and they have A1 sauce. I really enjoy it. You have to ask for rare, otherwise your jaw will be sore and tired in just 4 chews. read more

The whole experience was very good. I'm very apprehensive about buffets because I've seen some things but this place was very good. We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. The drinks were refilled in a timely manner. We were checked on a few times regarding the service and food which was nice. All the food I tried was very good and the food area was maintained very well. The prices are reasonable for sure. The eating area and bathroom was kept clean too. We'll definitely return. read more

Service was terrible not one word from the girl picking up our plates but pointing at what she wants us to hand her ? We just got back from here and the food was alright but having a rude person come by just made the experience a generous 2. read more

When you first pay they ask for a tip, tip for what I get my own food and why would you give a tip on a soda when you paid for it. You in ability to get your own water or drink is by design read more

Food was ok. Went on a very busy night. Did not have to wait too long What seems to be an issue is letting young children help themselves to the buffet. We saw too many under 10 yrs children touching the food and piling alot on plates and never eating any of it. It's wasteful. The kids carry too many germs. Not sure I'll go back. read more

This was our go-to Chinese Buffet, (was). We were happy to see this stores grand opening. It was new, nicely decorated and great dining area. A welcomed improvement over the 19th Ave & Bethany restaurant we've visited in the past. Food was good and fresh due the restaurant's location and community patronage. It's a very busy restaurant. It has a large selection of buffet options and includes a Sushi bar and cook to order grill. Something changed and could have been one employee. Due to (two) health inspection violations we have placed this Resturant on time out until we see additional inspections with passing scores. The Public's health must be a priority of every business serving food because the result of not following health standards is not acceptable. I miss this restaurant and truly hope to visit again in the future. read more

The food is always the best. Always the place to go it's a little busy at times but it's so worth it. The staff could use a little bit of help like being told to smile. Be more attentive. Not being twined in other conversations while your customer is trying to pay for their buffet. Which pays your bills.Bring the drinks to the table before you start eating not halfway through the meal when you're ready to pay your check. why do you ask for tips when we pay for the buffet? Tips are normally given after the service. That's kind of Unprofessional very rude. I'm sorry but I only took $2 and the rest of your tip depends on service. Keep that in mind. read more

Today was the first time I tried Lin's Grand Buffet. My first impression of the sushi section was that there was only a few morsels of sushi present. I tried a couple of pieces and it was underwhelming. I also realized that it's not a sushi restaurant. The remaining selection of the other courses was the same I found that the best thing I sample were the fried shrimp. The salmon was overcooked the fried zucchini tasted like it was fried in the same oil as the fish. The desserts were prepackaged and mostly tasteless. The best thing on the menu was the coke . The lunch price was 15.99 and 3.99 for the free refill soft drinks. In conclusion, if you want to fill your belly for cheap without any expectations of quality then by all means. I probably should have spent the 15.99 for a Jersey Mike's' hoagie . read more

Only thing edible was the fruit and water maybe not the water. Overall my experience was god awful and never want to go back again.

Food was delicious. Nice and hot. Service was great. Overall fantastic. There was only one thing that was disappointing there were no toppings for ice cream. We will definitely go back. read more

Recommend: This place is average. If you want something that won't break your wallet but want a variety food then I would recommend this. You don't come here to expect much or high class or anything above average here. Food: Decent, wasn't horrible. There are a lot of different food and station. Price: not too bad. Was around $15 for dinner (Lunch is around $12). Around $3 for soft drinks. Service: Surprisingly they were very attentive and picked up our plates pretty quickly and checked in on us a couple times if we needed something and filled our water. Ambience: the building still looks clean, new, and fresh. However some of the booths are ripped or have holes. It would be nice if they repair or replace them. I would recommend going between 6-8pm when they bring out the food more often. This is an average buffet. You can't expect much but it does satisfy your stomach and wallet. Honestly it isn't too bad. For some reason it seems like they had the AC on inside so by the time I get my food and sat down, I take a few bites and then everything else was cold by then. I'm not sure why a heater wouldn't be on since it is winder and it's cold outside. Most of the food they were restocking but it seems like some items they don't restock until it is completely out. Overall it was still a good experience. I was surprised they didn't have crab legs on Saturday night which most places have it on the weekends. read more

So many variety of food even for the lunch special. They even have crawfish. Inside the restaurant they had Mongolian beef is a must try. Sushi was fresh. We have been there 4xs in a 2 month period. read more

food was not that great. the best thing i had there was the steak that was cooked to order, it was perfect, the baked potato, it would of been nice to have some sour cream though. the wontons with cream cheese. i did not care for anything else i tried. My husband did not like anything he tried either. the 3n stars were for our server and the guy making the steaks. read more

So we came here for date night. It's just down the street from my dad's house so we made a trip of it. There are 2 locations that I know of and I'll only comeback to this location. I don't think it was quite as big but it felt cozier. The place was clean, our waitress was awesome, so we'll definitely be back. read more

We have gone many times after church and enjoy the food every time. Husband especially likes the egg drop soup.

Great selection of salads,entrees and deserts. There is also a stir fry chef on hand to cook your hand chosen fixings. Nothing overly fancy, just all around good eats. read more

The staff was friendly and the service was really good. They were definitely on top of making sure the drinks were filled and taking away the empty plates. The buffet food was fairly fresh they had a pretty wide selection of food as well as a habachi area where they can cook the food for you. The ambiance was alright some of the seats were torn. But aside from that everything seemed clean and well maintained. read more

First of all, the service was very good this time, but the food was subpar. The wonton soup didn't have wontons in it and the broth was on the cold side. The person in charge of the Won Ton Soup put hot Won Tons in the cold broth. The Won Tons were not totally cooked and my husband & I got sick later in the night. The rest of the food was good, but still don't have the Sao Mei that I wanted. So I give this two stars this time and possibly won't be back again. So Long Lin's! For $16.99 each person and $3.49 drinks, it's not worth it! Thank you! 3 strikes and you are out! read more

Good variety and clean atmosphere with good lighting. I enjoyed the Mongolian barbecue.

This good food but it's not great food.... You have to remember it's a buffet, All the food taste like it was frozen and heated up... I recommend this for a large family or group that's hungry read more
