It was nice to get the opportunity to dine inside at the last moment one more time.I wish the owners and family the best.

My family and I have been coming here all my life. My uncle first came into Lim's in 1958 and has been going here frequently ever since. We always have a great experience, enjoying the delicious Special Beef Tomato Chow Mein, Egg Foo Young, Broccoli Beef, and Special Fried Rice. Today we ate the last meal we'll be enjoying from Lim's and we're devastated to see it go. I love the old-time, family friendly diner feel the restaurant has and will sorely miss being able to come here for special occasions.

Step back in time and enjoy comfort food with a Chinese name. Food is not good not bad … Interesting place and worth a visit if you’re getting your car smogged. Also interesting is the pawn shop next door. Good way to waste an hour !

This is a great place! Had the kungbao which was nice and spicy, the sweet and sour pork which was excellent and shrimpr fried rice which worked beautifully with soya sauce and spicy mustard. Great stories also about the original founder and his family. All in all perfect!

Been going here since I was a wee baby with my grandma and grandpa I'm an old er person now. And I still love this place. ? I am a Long haul truck driver and I've never ever had Chinese food anywhere in the world that was any better ??❤️

Lims has always been a family favorite. I've been going to Lims since 1968, and I took my Prom Date there for dinner. Mr Lim set up a special table with white table cloth and gave us the works. I'll always remember Mr Lim and his family.

Every time I make the 3 hour drive to see my Grandpa in Redding, I almost look forward to Lim’s as much as I look forward to seeing him. Their vegetable chow mein is stellar. Kerri makes an amazing Mai Thai (it’s her signature drink) and expect the best Bloody Mary from Dawn (her signature drink). The setting has a familial feeling to it, which would explain why it takes me forever to leave; very welcoming.Only gripe on my end is that I wish there was vegetarian/vegan options for their breakfast, or at least avocado toast. Other than that, I love this place!

I had a really delicious breakfast: Hash browns , bacon (and - as I cannot eat eggs - the waitress threw in extra pieces of bacon), toast, and coffee. Price was reasonable. My kind of place. I will definitely return the next time I pass through Redding.

I had a good time chatting with the waitress who liked my humorous t-shirts and said that the next time I came in, she would have a humorous t-shirts too
There's not enough stars, I give Lim's a 10. I've never had Chinese Scrambled eggs before, and now I'm not sure I'll ever have any other way again. My wife had the biscuits and gravy, also phenomenal. Rae and Dawn were amazing, they made sure we were well taken care of. Now that we know our new breakfast Cafe, we have to try lunch and dinner. I highly recommend you do as well.

Absolutely LOVE Lim's❤️! We had their House Special beef & tomato chow mein, Kung Pao chicken, a lunch special and egg rolls. Everything was delicious and naturally we took leftovers home bc the portions are so generous. Also, everyone there is so friendly??

I did not enjoy my breakfast, the chicken fried steak had very little flavor in the breading and gravy. My husband enjoyed an egg noodle dish a lot. The server was so very friendly and made our visit very fun. I would come back to try the Chinese food for sure.

Paid 30$ to end up only eating a few bites. Food was fast, way too fast. Was trying to be optimistic but service didn’t seem to care or make anything better and still charged me full price though it was obvious me nor my 8 year old could stomach the food. 100% disappointed in our first experience there and will not be back. I was really hoping to have a nice experience but it was all so underwhelming.. not to mention, I’m 95% sure that’s Campbell chicken noodle soup.
