I really love this place, it was my family’s “secret” spot for the last couple of decades. Real authentic Chinese cuisine, bold flavour, large portions and a very “zen” atmosphere.

Overall really good food
However their sweet and sour pork dish has failed me multiple times (lots of chewy gristle-y pieces)
Won’t be ordering that again

+ Servers are quite nice, but...
- Servers don't answer questions that well, when regarding their menu: when asked "what are your thickest noodles?" (in Chinese) the response was vague confusion, as if the question didn't make sense.
+ 1st dish: Soup & Thick Soup, Hot & Sour Soup. Quite nice, with what I can assume as the correct order of spice.
+ 2nd dish: Appetizers, Honey Barbecued Pork. With many pieces, and a good sauce, this is just a tastier grilled thick bacon.
• 3rd + 4th: Hong Kong Style Chow Mein, Barbecued Pork & Vegetable Chow Mein. + Vegetable, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce.
+ 3: The pork is SO SOFT, and the serving size is big enough for a single meal by itself. Taste works as expected as well.
+ 4: By a personal professional, the eggplant is great, and overall is better than many of the other restaurants'. For my opinion, though the eggplants' nastier taste does come out every-so-often, after dipping it in the sauce, it taste quite like fish (as advertised)!
+ 5th: Seafood, Szechuan Seafood Delight. And delight is the right word, as its softness and taste is quite delightful indeed. The spice chosen seems to match as well.
• 6th: Hong Kong Style Chow Mein, Shanghai Special Noodle. This was ordered spicy-less and to-go, thus is not included in the rating.
+ Food quantity is satisfactory for a restaurant of this nature, and to exemplify that point, we only finished one of our dishes. Would come again.

Vegetarian options: No idea.

Dietary restrictions: No idea.

Kid-friendliness: Good for kids!

The food here is typical HK style. Lot of lunch specials. We ordered from the main menu. The food was good for this type of restaurant.

This restaurant used to be a favourite but the smaller more expensive and unreliable dishes we used to love are not the same. Received a very small bag with several orders $150 worth of food. All very small containers including ( fried rice and chow me in noodles ) which are usually larger. The chop suey sauce was over thickened and gloopy. The Ginger beef was drenched in a different strange sweet sauce. Definitely not worth the money anymore as there won’t even be anything left over. I called to see if they would fix it being a long standing customer but they didn’t and stated it’s the way it always is but it’s definitely not. So disappointed. Will say the salt and pepper fish was great but that was it.

Not a fan of the Hot & Sour Soup. Way too much hot chili pepper to the point that my mouth and lips were burning and I could not taste the other flavours of the soup. I have ordered and enjoyed Hot and Sour Soup many times in different restaurants and in Hong Kong but this soup was unpalatable. I had to throw away the rest of the takeout container.

You'll be swimming in grease for days. Sweet and sour pork was so tough as to be inedible. They need a new chef.

Parking: parking is about the only good thing about this place.

Taste so good! Every time I miss food from my home, I come here and they never disappoint me. The waiters were also really kind. Would definitely recommend it to everyone that like Chinese cuisine

Dine in..long ago customer.. Back..ordered BBQ Duck Noodle Soup...as remembered..excellent...
Take home order.....wonderful lucky ending with last mouthful, the remnants of anise seed..the licorice finished the meal with a surprising wow!
I'm pleased to have come back after years to be once again satisfied as expectations were achieved, if not surpassed.
Cheers to the team at Lin Heung.
