First time visiting this restaurant and they were very quick and kind. The staff checked on me multiple times and the food was great. The Mongolian beef was nice and tender and not cooked too long. Overall very impressed and happy. read more

Mr. Lin - Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Helena, Alabama

We recently moved here and have been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. We had two orders to eat at the restaurant. The food was amazing and a huge amount so we had to take it all home when we left. The atmosphere is pretty much takeout only with a few tables and table service but everything is either plastic or Styrofoam not exactly authentic Chinese. Will definitely be back for takeout again, but probably not dine in. read more

It's consistent. You know what you're going to get every visit. We always order takeout.

This barely qualifies as Chinese food. Used to be more authentic but new owners and staff are not as committed to giving good customer service. Quick service but food quality has declined. read more

Great location with the most helpful staff. They have a nice variety of items on the menu. They give you huge portion sizes. The restaurant is well-lit. Also, they provide carryout, so if you need to call and pick up your order, they will accommodate it. read more

I've had Lo Mein from Mr Lin's several times. It is Very good. Usually call ahead and order to go.

Ordered pick up. House fried rice, steamed dumplings, and egg rolls. All were very tasty and filling. There was plenty leftover fried rice for the next day too. Order was ready when picking up. read more

Mr. Lin's lives up to the hype. The inside isn't the prettiest or most welcoming but it gets the job done. The star here is simply the food. The taste, the portion size, and the price are unbeatable. They have hands down the BEST hot and sour soup in Jefferson County. Period. It comes with your lunch if you dine in. I've only eaten the General Tso's chicken, and I must say that the last time I went I had to ask them to toss it again because it had a lack of sauce and it wasn't spicy like I asked. However, they had no problem fixing the mistake and I left a happy customer with a massive amount of chicken. read more

Food was so good! Best I've had in the area! I go there often for lunch! Definitely try it out!

What a pleasant surprise and experience! My niece and I came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was extremely crowded inside but we found a table without any issues. It's small inside but comfortable. Service was so fast and outstanding! We ordered and immediately our hot and sour soup was pippin hot at the table. The soup was amazing! Shortly after our entrees arrived. I ordered house lo Mein(Asian hot). The flavor of the chicken , shrimp and beef was so tasty and satisfying. My niece had the sesame chicken and she said she enjoyed it. Lots of food in the lunch portion which included soup , fried rice and egg roll. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Great food and service!!!! Definitely a top Chinese food spot worth checking out and very reasonable! read more

Really good quality food. Service is wonderful and the workers are kind. Have never gotten my order wrong in 3 years.

I don't know how this restaurant has such good reviews. We ordered the following for takeout: - Mongolian Beef - Sesame Chicken - Chicken lo mein - Kung Pao Combination special - cream cheese ragoons Nothing was worth eating. We were so looking forward to finding a great Chinese Restaurant but no luck. Our quest continues. read more

We love Mr. Lin! Our go-to Chinese restaurant. The food is great and the portion sizes are huge. We can eat on our food for 2-3 meals. The workers are always so kind and they prepare everything super quick. Highly recommend! read more

Ooooooppppssss.......Mr Lin sold to a new owner group and quality has dropped significantly. The beef in Mongolian Beef was not good. The Hot n Sour soup which USED TO BE fantastic is mediocre at best. My wife would get Kung Pao but found the new version sub par. Used to love the little lady who ran this establishment but I understand she sold and moved back to China. Tai Wan I hope! All in all things have changed and not for the better. read more

Nothing too exciting on the menu but a really good selection nonetheless. I'm always excited to see rice noodles on a Chinese menu. The egg drop soup warmed my soul and was perfect for a chilly afternoon. The general tsos was good but needed more heat. Our waitress was efficient and polite. Food came out fast and hot. The establishment was clean. This will probably be our go to spot for quick Chinese! read more

No very good food...everything we ordered tasted the same. Too bad, we had hoped we had found a convenient restaurant.

Such a good comfort food spot when craving Chinese food! Solid lo mein, chicken with broccoli, Mongolian beef, shrimp with snow peas, and crab rangoon (our favorite place to get them!). Highly recommended!! read more

Ok Chinese food. It is what it is nothing special but if you want Chinese close by it will work.

Great food fast accurate n friendly service. Love this place . Ambience is great for the family to dine in.

Always so darn good! We drive 25 minutes to eat here, because it's awesome. Their hot and sour soup is the best in the county, and stays HOT if you want to travel home with it. Large portions, reasonable price. Delicious! Crab Rangoon are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Steamed dumplings are tender and flavorful Kung Pao chicken was spicy and yum! read more

With the change of ownership recently, the cook must've lost all of the recipes. Flavors are bland.

Recently discovered Mr. Lin in the past few months. Since then, they've been our go to Chinese takeout spot. Really happy with the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Beef with Broccoli. Their Wonton Soup is very good and on the spicy side, at least it was this time. I'll be re-ordering that. We order through the website and pick up at the restaurant, and each time our food has been ready when I showed up. Good quality food, IMO. read more

We decided to come eat in on our anniversary after the movies (Woman King)!! I'm so glad we did!!! The food was excellent! Hot, delicious, and plentiful. You won't be disappointed. They even have pick up read more

Great food & great people! We haven't been residents of Helena for long but so glad we discovered this gem

My favorite chicken fried rice around Helena. Not the bland white rice with a little soy sauce. Not the yellow rice. The egg drop soup is good the crispy noodles are fresh. read more

Delicious food that meets a lot of people's expectations. The service is good. I haven't dined in a while but the ambiance is nice and the place is clean. read more

Large servings. Food is very good and hot. Try the family Lo mein. Fried rice (it includes vegetables) and try chicken with vegetables extra mushrooms. Very nice staff. read more

Great food and service. Three dishes garlic chicken, sesame chicken and king pau chicken was all good. Great sweet and sour soup.

The food is consistently good, but not spectacular. Egg Rolls are good. Hot 'n Sour soup is a bit spicy. House Lo Mein is quite good and worth repeat ordering. The Moo Goo Gai Pan is probably one of our favorites. read more

They have the best Chinese in two counties!! Always friendly and accommodating, give ya as many bags of crispy noodles as you want for the soup (I like extra) and don't try to nickel and dime you for extras like so many do. Would like the Mongolian beef or general chicken to be spicier- maybe I just need to ask for that when ordering, but always good and always exactly what you ordered!!! Been a patron since the early 2000's when they were in bluff park. read more

Ordered sesame chicken. Not as good as inexpensive frozen from publix. No sauce. Plain instant rice. Dry and odd tasting egg rolls. I am very disappointed and I'm not real pickey. read more

Very good luncheon special: Mongolian Beef. Came with fried rice, and egg roll. Since I was eating in the restaurant it also came with choice of soup. Loved the hot & sour soup with crunchy noodles. I will visit here again soon. read more

The food was absolutely supreme! Truly delicious, the people at Mr.Lin nailed everything I ordered from the dumplings to the fried rice. The service was fast and friendly the lady who took my order was on top of her game! Truly a marvelous experience. The portion sizes are perfect also, not too much and not too little, I'm amazed. I would rate this restaurant a 5/5 will be retuning here again in the future for sure. read more

The service was good and the portions for the prices are good as well. The food was cooked well and pretty much your standard Chinese restaurant food. The fried rice was better than what I'm used to at restaurants like this though. Clean establishment. Friendly service. I'd recommend it to my friends. read more
