I ordered this food for delivery. This is the best Chinese food I have had since returning to the mid-south. Most of the time I will eat the egg roll that comes with the meal, but only because it was included. I ordered a shrimp egg roll to meet a minimum delivery value. It was delicious! The shrimp egg foo young was also great, and the gravy was wonderful. I look forward to an in-person visit where the food is fresh from kitchen to table. read more

Probably the worst customer service I've ever received in Memphis. I was literally yelled at, if she could've thrown my food at me she would've. You cant dine in, decor won't allow you anyway. Won't be back. The lady up front needs some sort of hospitality training. read more

New Lin's Garden - Sweet and sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I no longer live in Memphis but visit often. My go to Chinese was Shang Hai on Poplar but they closed down. I was staying downtown and came across New Lin's and decided to order from here. I was surprised at how good and flavorful the food was. We got combination fried rice, house special egg fu young, and orange chicken. I've never had egg fu young gravy this good. Everything was yummy and they give you a lot. Those three dishes lasted my family two night as well. I'd recommend them for sure. read more

Great for the price. Ordered over the phone and they took their time with me to get my order down, no issues. Food was ready in 10 minutes and hot. Specialty wings have to be my favorite because they're big and the pork fried rice is yum. Lots of beef in my beef lomein and I would like to try their soups. read more

I had delivery sweet and sour chicken and pork fried rice and it was very good. The chicken was very tender and fresh tasting and the pork fried rice was actually FRIED rice. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was and will have to go in and order something Sichuan. read more

We ordered for the first time last night through DoorDash. It was delivered super fast, the portions were huge and the food was very hot. Unfortunately it tasted like it was yesterday's food. The orange chicken was more bread than chicken and was overcooked. The chicken in the chicken and broccoli was dried out. The chicken in Kung pao chicken tasted like it was made yesterday. Vegetables were good in that dish, especially the mushrooms! But overall we will not be ordering from them again. Mulan Bistro is way better. read more

My favorite Chinese food in memphis. Extremely quick service and delicious food. I love the general tso's chicken, extra spicy. Affordable.

My husband and I wanted to try a new Chinese food restaurant so we found New Lin's on Yelp and called in an order. We used gps to get us there and it directed us down an alley behind the restaurant. But we still found it. It's a small place with great prices and they also had other food choices as well. (Like wings) I had Lo mein and my husband had Kung pow chicken. They were both very good. We will definitely go back. read more

New Lin's Garden - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

New Lin's Garden - Beef fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I ordered via doordash. At first, I didn't have too many expectations. However, their food and portion are beyond my imagination. They deserve a 5-star! Make me have homesickness after having their food! read more

Not good. Clearly using yesterday's chicken. Egg roll was decent. There are alot better take out places to try, don't go here.

This American-Chinese restaurant is one of my favorites. The location may seem sketch at first but the inside is quite clean & comfortable. I usually carry out anyway. I've been here quite a few times over the past couple of years & the quality of the food has always been consistently hot, tasty, & fresh. Very good for a Chinese take-out place so I'm hoping the negative reviews are just a fluke. The portions are all massive for a very good price. So if you're looking for quantity, this is your place. 100% recommend if you're in the area & craving Chinese take out. read more

Ok I am writing this is as I eat the best Chinese food I've ever had. It's also hot and fresh. Despite it's appearance, it is so so so good. The General Tao's chicken is always crunch and spicy. The vegetables also seem like someone just cut them. Don't judge this book by it's cover. Just get take out. read more

Was charge for a large but received a small and wasn't even good!! Terrible place and would not recommend!!

I've been going here for years every since a teen. My food is always correct and hot. Wait time is not too high. One of my favorite food places. read more

This place is great! The employees were very nice and the food was really good. You definitely get a lot of food for the price. Items we'd recommend: Wonton Soup, Crab Rangoon's, and Chicken Lo Mein. read more

One of the best Chinese take-outs near downtown, located in a strip mall 'behind' (just south of) the Walgreen's at Union and Pauline. The Chicken with Broccoli is a personal favorite, order with the pot stickers. General Tso's chicken is also worth a try. Crispy egg rolls. On the hand-made menu in the window they offer chicken wings and hamburgers. Can't really testify to the strength of these strange dishes, though I seem to see a lot of customers ordering the wings. Friendly service. read more

This is a great, inexpensive take out place for American Chinese food. If you have the budget, want to sit down with ambience and are looking for more authentic Chinese, go to Mulan or New Asia instead. But if it is late at night and you just want to grab some quick tasty dinner, this is the place. Greatly enjoyed the basic/classic fried rice with shrimp. Better yet, the fried rice noodles with pork (and vegetables) were not greasy! That sounds like nothing much, but other places unnecessarily coat/drench their noodles in oil. Not here, wonderful. Surprisingly good the next day, go for the large portion if interested. Communication can be tricky, so double check your order and speak clearly, especially when ordering over the phone. read more

Very friendly staff! Food was absolutely delicious! Served hot and fresh with plenty of flavor! Love supporting locally owned businesses! Keep up the great work! read more

Greasy, non English speaking (not friendly). You get a lot of food for your money. Wouldn't recommend. Only eat if you need something close. read more

New Lin's Garden - a panda holding a baby - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I ordered what I thought was the most simple thing on the menu. I didn't even expect that it wouldn't be good. I ordered sesame chicken with veggie fried rice. The rice was ok...just ok. The chicken looked really good but the taste was "off". It had a weird after taste. It made me think that it wasn't chicken. So I split a few pieces of it open and most of them were fatty, soggy and "bready". I gave this meal to a friend who would eat almost anything, he didn't even want it. I asked him why he didn't eat it and without me telling him why I wouldn't eat it, he said "It didn't taste right". I will never visit this location again. read more

We did pickup tonight from this place. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and my wife had chicken and garlic sauce. My chicken was okay (not awesome but okay) but the breading despite a quick drive home was a bit soggy (not an issue with my other go to places). The bigger issue with my meal was they never asked me my rice choice and I got pork fried rice and I like white rice with my sweet and sour. My wife's garlic chicken was in her words "meh...just not that good" and also she had pork fried rice without having asked for it. Some may see the fried rice as an upgrade...but not me...so I will probably stick to my regular places...this was just not a stand out contender for me. read more

This is by far the best Chinese food Memphis has to offer. The owners also live in my apartment complex and they are the sweetest! We order the same thing every time: pork fried rice, boneless spare ribs, and sesame chicken. Every time they nail it. 10/10 this should be #1 on the list of Chinese places! If you're looking for that classic Chinese takeout place you've found the right place with New Lins! read more

Good price with okay food. Chinese take-out is pretty similar at most places, but everywhere is slightly different in how they do their fried rice. The fried rice at New Lin's was hard and seemed a bit undercooked, but it wasn't bad and they do have more meat in their fried rice than other nearby places. read more

The food was horrible here it was my first time. I had pork fried rice and orange chicken the orange chicken was sticky and mostly crusted over grisle I tasted no chicken it tasted like that Walmart deli stuff. The egg roll was hard and the egg food yun patties greasy! Yucky place. I had to drink ginger tea to settle my stomach read more

They're good...just good! I'd give them a 3.5 but not a 4. But then again at the price, I'm not exactly expecting top quality but it's definitely worth the money. Come for the lunch "Buffet"...I put it in quotes because there is usually only about 6-8 options with fried rice being one and egg rolls and wantons being 2 of them. The plus side (at least for me and other non-pork eaters) is that almost all their food is either chicken on beef. It is divey but hey, this divey joint probably serves up food that's better than other "nice" spots (again 3.5 not 4 stars). I'll go there no more than once a month. read more

So I decided to try this place 'cos I've seen it near Walgreens forever now. I was really excited to finally try a meal here. That's where my excitement ended. The crab rangoon (which usually has CRAB and other stuff in it) only had cream cheese. WTF The egg drop soup is alright, but the crackers they give you are very stale. Very disappointed and would never return. I suppose if I was going to comment on anything that is a plus is that they are friendly, fast, and the fried rice is decent. read more

At the Medical District...Very good "Chinese Takeout"... will be going there every time I'm at the "VA Hospital". The Pork Dishes were very good and reasonably priced. It was a two meal deal, Sweet & Sour Pork (I do wish they would do the vegetables in the dish), Pork Fried Rice, Hot & Sour Soup, Fried WonTon & 2 canned Soft Drinks... lunch and dinner for $12.00. Parking was easy as well. read more

Rude cook/order taker. Doesn't know English other than what's on the menu. Food tasted like cooked in old grease!! Yuk!! Styrofoam everything! Bad for your health and bad for our eco system. Won't be back! read more

I've eaten here for over 10 years and I never have gotten sick, the food is wonderful, and the service is friendly. And it's cleaner than most hamburger places. I love New Lin Garden!!! I call in my order and pick it up with ease. read more

They're pretty good. They have a lunch buffet. Make sure you get there during peak hours though or it will be soggy. Even then it's still a risk. Though if you order off the menu it's pretty great! I'm a frequent flyer here. read more

The portions are good size and comes with a egg roll. I tried the spicy sichuan beef and it was just average. Last time I ate the General Tsou chicken and I prefer that. Have been to this place a few times while waiting for my laundry at the laundromat. read more

Food tastes great. I will drive across town just to get New Lin's shrimp fried rice. They are not stingy with the shrimp

This is the first chinese food place I tried in Memphis and when I first came I didn't even eat the chinese food. They used to have cheese steaks that were super cheesy and super steaky and delicious. Those are gone now, and when I discovered that I decided to not waste a trip and give their orange chicken a chance. I'm glad I did. I'm giving this place 5 stars for a combination of service, food, price, and open hours. The food is good, and they have a lunch buffet. They are open late. The woman at the register always seems to recognize me or at least make me feel like she's cool with me coming in and buying food. Yes, it is a business transaction, but it is a friendly transaction. I've gone to other chinese food places and decided that this food tastes better than the rest I've tried in Memphis. Now... let's not fool ourselves, the best Chinese food in Memphis is like kissing your sister. You know, the food here is not that bad, uhhhh... kissing your cousin? Wait, this is the south... let's just say having the best Chinese food in Memphis isn't a huge feat. But this place hits the spot and on the cheap. I support this place. read more

I ate here today for the first time since about a year. I gave to say,this place has really gone down hill. Prices have increased, and quality has decreased. I walk in, and the lady with the tattooed eyebrows is playing on her phone at the front counter. I stood right in front of her for about 3 minutes before she finally looked up from her phone and asked what I wanted. I ordered, paid and she straight back to the phone without ever a thank you or handing me my cup. I had to say excuse me, can I have my cup. she never looked up, just kept doing what she was doing with her phone, then finally reached over and tossed a cup on the counter. If I hadn't of just paid by debit card, I would have walked put. I ordered the buffet. The chicken tasted like it had been rewarmed a few times. I couldn't eat it. I was also informed there was no sweet and sour sauce for the set and sour chicken. All the while the lady is screaming at the guys in the back. I ate about a quarter of my plate, and threw it away. Very low quality tasting rubbery checken, and the beef tasted unidentiable. I will not go back. read more
