  The best General Tao's chicken I've ever eaten!  Alvarado you have a true gem in your town!!
  The chicken was lightly crunchy with a sauce that had just enough heat to bring a sweat to my nose. Loved the fried rice, it wasn't all stuck together like most I've been to.
  Sam had the Hot Pepper Chicken and it was spicy chunks of chicken, grilled onions and sliced jalapeños.
  The owner Sam brought out our hot, made to order dinners and afterwards introduced himself and we had a good laugh about both being Sam. He said my Sam was #1 and he was # 2. LOL
  I highly recommend Lin's China and we plan on frequently dining here.

  Worst food ever.Zero flavor no heat. After eating dinner here last night me and my kid felt sick for hours. A employee in the kitchen sneezed and you could tell it did not cover their nose. I will never go back again.

  I read the low scores for Lin's I was skeptical. I always read the bad ones first. The good reviews were for Hot pepper chicken, I got that. I tried the lunch special $5.75. And the Orange chicken.  I'll asked if they had Pad Thai. Nope! The cashier told me emphatically that I could get that in Cleburne. (Ok). He was insulted. Well...I felt I insulted when I got my food home.  Let's just say that you have to be a big onion piece lover. I'm not that. Nonetheless, I had a mountain of onions hidden in the small container. I know it was a mountain cuz I picked every single piece out!  It was half the dish!  Next up was the actual chicken. It tasted burned. Scorched at best. Grainy. The rice was less flavorful. The whole thing was dry. I had to summon spit to get moisture. The orange chicken was better but not by much. It however, was grainy too. (Sigh). You know restaurants go under because of no returns. No one returns!  I'm not going to either. Good luck Lin's. I'm going to Cleburne next time I'm in Alvarado and want Asian food.

  This was a very pleasant surprise. The outside building doesn't look like much so we were a tad bit leery. However the food was hot, tasty and quite frankly some of the best Chinese we've ever eaten. My husband said the egg drop soup was on point!!

  Hot pepper chicken is really good and if you do not care for onions they will substitute them for cabbage which to me makes it way better.  The egg rolls and crab Rangoon's were delicious. The fried spring rolls tasted like raw onion and seemed a little doughy so I won't get those again. But overall really good American Chinese food.
