    This is the waiting area!
    Larry P.

    Wow! For the first time here it's packed! Customers are waiting for up to 1 hr at different times of the day! The food is great! More than you can eat! This is one of the largest buffet we have ever been to! We ate so fast I forgot to take some photos! The place is clean and the staff are all over moving very fast!

    I have not been to a buffet since before Covid and this place did not disappoint. Just look at my plates. They have Mongolian food ready to be cooked with your selection and steak made to order. Sushi and salad bar as well. Huge selection of food and a clean environment. Nice to see a buffet with so many selections. Will be back for sure

    Well cooked Mongolian BBQ at a fair price with salad.

    They are a relatively new buffet in Murrieta. They have a decent variety of sushi, Mongolian BBQ, and other Chinese items that you find in every Chinese restaurants. My favorite item was actually the salad which was fresh and had olives carrots, imitation crab and several other veggies I didn't want. The grilled items were ok, but didnt wow me. The staff kept the place clean (including restrooms) and were quick to pick up plates and refill drinks. If I'm hungry, I would come here again

    I don't get the low reviews??! For a buffet it is definetely a 5 star!! This is the best chinese buffet I have ever had and that includes great ones in San Diego and Las Vegas! This is the first buffet I have been to that i will even eat the salad bar. Most chinese buffets, I stay away from the salad bar. This is also the only buffet where the "soft serve" is not "icy" tasting...Very creamy. They are the only chinese buffet where they have sushi that i actually like. I know people don't go to chinese buffets for sushi, salad and Ice cream, but that was definetely worth noting. Fri-Sun dinners have whole steaks and crabs included. Now for the food, they have a HUGE selection, and i like most of them especially the beef and shrimp dishes. They also have a mongolian bbq with some of the best noodles you can find on a buffet. They are always VERY friendly. I have not had a bad waiter/waitress yet, and we go weekly! It is always clean and comfortable and nice soft music. This is my favorite newer place.

    I was going to another buffet up the street, but this one caught my attention and I'm glad it did. This is very classy very clean. Great great customer service. Everybody helps you. They have a great variety of food things that you don't normally have in regular buffets. They have deep fried zucchini. They also have the shrimp salt and pepper amazing.

    Okay, so for the price of $21, you can get basically all you can eat Chinese food, some Mongolian grill, a selection of American food, and some sushi. Like, some days, the idea of having all you can eat Chinese food sounds lovely, but if I lived closer to this buffet, I'd be coming way more often. The service was excellent. There is no complaint, she was very attentive, never left our drinks unfilled and our table with empty plates. The interior is bustling with other diners and the space is well accounted for with plenty of seating. I think that this has been one of the best buffets I've ever been for and with the best price for sure. I will be coming back soon.

    If you're looking for a clean, well stocked buffet, Lin's Chinese Buffet has you covered. Ambiance = 3 Service = 3 Food = 4 Value = 5 The food options? Plentiful! It's like the entire menu of every takeout place you've ever loved decided to move in together. Lo mein, sesame chicken, sushi, dumplings. It's a carb lover's playground. Now, let's talk about the heartbreak. I came here with dreams of cracking into some glorious crab legs... only to learn they only serve them on holidays. I'm talking Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day etc...But on a regular Tuesday? No legs for you! Still, for the price, it's an absolute steal. My wallet left just as happy as my stomach. So yes, I'll be back probably on a holiday, armed with butter sauce and a bib. Welp! On to the next!

    I found out about this place since my parents wanted to try a buffet in the area. They do have senior discount. It's a busy place with a good amount of seating inside. The food is basic Americanized Chinese food. They have a good amount of fried foods such as fried jalapeno with cream cheese, fried shrimp, sesame balls with red beans, fried zucchini. They also have various chicken and fish dishes. The soups were ok, hot and sour soup, wonton soup, and egg drop soup. Their dessert area is fine, the fruit is mostly a miss. Their salad bar is small with basic salad and chopped romaine lettuce. The Mongolian grill is busy and has alot of toppings. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Dillon was our server. So attentive and polite. Professional and courteous. Even the third hour we stayed for dinner. Always asking us if we need anything water. Soda. Coffee. Tea. Where to find what food on the buffet. Stay as long as you'd like. Such a polite young man sporting a great attitude. Loved the atmosphere too.

    We visited tonight on a Saturday at 6pm with a party of 10 and were seated almost immediately despite the crowd. The price is $21 per adult, which is a great value, though keep in mind you pay upfront and there is an automatic 12% service charge. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. The food selection is huge, featuring everything from sushi and a Mongolian noodle station to ribs and pizza. The salted pepper shrimp was a personal favorite with excellent flavor, and the kitchen did a great job of keeping the fresh food coming out hot. The waitress was friendly and we had no complaints. After a long break from buffets, this was a great experience and we will definitely be back.

    The food / the service was great. Super clean and service is fast as well as so may selections your belly just won't have space to fit it all ! The price was very reasonable we went on a weekend so higher but it was all good. Highly recommend and grateful something gonna come into that space .

    A friend and I had lunch at Lin's in Murrieta recently. It was Fantastic. The restaurant has filled a building with long cool tables of freshly prepared foods served buffet style. The restaurant is very open and spacious, with tables seating up to 400 or more. It is well lit, very clean, and not loud or noisy. Seating is in booths or at tables. Parking is plentiful. Service at your table is fast, offering drinks and removing used plates and utensils quickly. The food offerings are delicious and incredible. There is a large grill where you pick the ingredients you want cooked. On either side are stations of food offering numerous Asian cuisine. Sushi, vegetables, appetizers, fish, salads, desserts, meats, on and on. Go hungry, because it is a buffet. There is lunch special pricing, and senior pricing. You pay at the front door, and go eat! It's all great food and a comfortable atmosphere. We are absolutely returning soon. So many items we didn't try yet! Lin's Grand Buffet in Murrieta is Highly Recommended.

    Do they have crab legs?

    How is the sushi?

    Amazing food, the staff are very friendly and helpful Price…read moreperformance is very good I highly recommend this restaurant

    I came here with my family and we ordered the Beach Box, which comes with 12 fish tacos and fries…read more They also offer shrimp tacos with fries, and their Wednesday special was $28.99 (before tax). Another Wednesday deal is their OG fish tacos for $2.59 each, also before tax. We split the Beach Box, so each of us had about three tacos with fries. I do want to be honest though--I have celiac disease, which means I cannot have gluten. I haven't had gluten since I was diagnosed about a year ago, but this time I gave in. Seeing everyone else eating made it really hard to resist. I know it wasn't the best decision, but I ended up having some anyway. That said, if you're celiac like me, I wouldn't recommend this place. They do offer some options like mariscos, and you can replace flour tortillas with corn, but keep in mind there is always a chance of cross-contamination. It's definitely an "at your own risk" situation. I will say, when I came before and told them I have celiac disease while ordering their tacos, they did try to accommodate me as best as they could. It wasn't busy at the time, and they offered to clean the area and take extra precautions to avoid cross-contamination, which I found very thoughtful. But like I said, there's always a chance, so it's still at your own risk. As for the food itself, everything was very flavorful. The fish was crispy, well-seasoned, and tasted fresh. The fries were good, and the portions were solid. The salsa bar is self-serve and has bold, spicy flavors. If you like a lot of salsa with your tacos, you'll enjoy it. Customer service was great. We were greeted right away and given helpful recommendations. The restaurant is clean and has a nice vibe, with a really pretty mural inside. It does get busy, so expect a bit of a wait, but the food is worth it. They also have specials throughout the week, like potato tacos on Thursdays and Tijuana-style tacos on Tuesdays, which I've had before and really liked. Those are made with corn tortillas, but again, if you're celiac, just be mindful of cross-contamination. Overall, the food and experience were great. Just be cautious if you have dietary restrictions like I do.
