I stopped in for lunch today and had the flounder. It was so good! Spicy and tingling with all the Szechuan flavors that you don't find too often around here. They do not dumb down the flavor and now has a spot in my rotation. If you ask for spicy, just know, it's gonna be spicy. The interior is bright and airy, offering a clean, modern aesthetic. Seating was not uncomfortable. :-)

The dining room is always quaint and clean. I'm losing a star though on the fact that they are blaming getting rid of alcoholic beverages on tariffs. This is the first I have ever heard of a restaraunt doing it, but if you are afraid of having to raise or change pricing the beverage menu can be seperate from the food menu. Or limit the number of imports you have on the menu. It would seem better to say "we can't sell Ichiban or Sopporro anymore because of tariffs" rather than saying "tariffs bad, alcohol bad". i would rather have the choice to pay a dollar or two more than not at all.

Lin's has by far the best Chinese food in the area. We have enjoyed their cuisine since 1998 when…read morewe moved from the Northeast to Georgia and were so happy that we found them. Since COVID, despite having a very nice interior, the restaurant has been take out only and has a sign on the front door to advise patrons of this change. The extremely hard working couple who own this business have always been friendly and kind towards us despite being deservedly very busy. You can't go wrong getting take out from this restaurant.

a month ago I typically don't post about customer service at…read morerestaurants because I understand that people have bad days and honest mistakes happen. However, my experience today at Lin's Chinese Cuisine at Windward in Alpharetta, GA, needs to be shared. I placed an order with the male owner, and everything was fine. After receiving my food, I went to my car and then returned inside to eat. I also ordered a bottle of water, which he kindly gave me free of charge. I sat down and began eating while he was seated at the table next to me. Less than 10 minutes later, a woman whom I believe was the other owner came out aggressively and told me I had to leave. I was confused and asked why she was approaching me that way. She told me to take my food and eat somewhere else. I repeatedly asked her to stop walking toward me so aggressively and to calm down. As I tried to put my food back into the containers and leave, she continued speaking to me aggressively and threatened to call the police. I told her I would call them myself. The entire situation was confusing and unnecessary. The male owner allowed me to order, never said the restaurant was takeout-only, and sat beside me while I ate without mentioning a problem. Based on my personal experience, I would advise anyone in Alpharetta to be cautious when visiting this establishment. Afterward, I read several reviews, and unfortunately, my experience made more sense. Message to google. Stop taking down my experience. This owner needs to be addressed with the way she treats people

For new Chinese places I always have to try the wonton soup and if they have them shrimp/basil rolls. The wonton soup broth was on point but I felt the dumplings didn't have enough meat in them. Mostly, if not all just noddle. The basil rolls I've never had them like this. I think I was expecting something more fresh. Different not bad just wasn't expecting it. I wish it had more of the other ingredients ... it was mostly rice noddles, which made it hard to eat. The main dish I ordered was the triple Mongolian dinner. I will have to say they didn't skip on the meat here. I add broccoli but it had good flavor . Overall decent experience.
