Excellent restaurant. The best and most authentic I've tried in the area. It is a mom and pop restaurant where the husband makes all the dishes himself. Owners said he has many years of experience cooking in China and here. 10/10 overall.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but the service at this restaurant was unacceptable. The room was cold, and when we asked to move to a table farther from the door, the server refused, claiming the table was “reserved.” This was clearly untrue, as the table remained empty for our entire visit which lasted over an hour, right up until the restaurant was close to closing.
While the food itself was tasty, the service was extremely slow. On top of that, the restaurant is overpriced, and the menu prices did not match what we were charged. The staff said we were expected to check prices online instead of relying on the menu, which is just absurd. Why did the staff even hand over the menu then?!
To make matters worse, an 18% tip was added to the bill without our consent. This practice is unprofessional and disrespectful. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Lin's Kitchen has been, without a doubt, the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've come across during my many years in Connecticut. Whether it's for birthdays, anniversaries, or special holidays, this is always my top choice. The dishes here are truly authentic, far beyond the level of typical takeout places. I genuinely love the food here, and it's the reason I confidently recommend it to friends.
Best and most flavorful food. We enjoy the spicy dishes- the soft shell crab was outstanding. Everything was delicious

The regular restaurant we go was closed on Mondays, so I stopped by Lin’s since they had good reviews. We will never get food from there again. I sat in the parking lot & called in the order since they’ll only accept online or phone orders and did not allow customers in the restaurant. Was told the order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. It took 45 minutes. Was asked what menu I was looking at because the prices had gone up during Covid. Cost was still off from the paper menu & the online prices-FALSE ADVERTISING. Although the food was good, it was not worth the money, the wait time & service was ridiculous, and the random pricing is sketchy. Will not be a return customer under any circumstances.

We have been going to Lin’s Kitchen for many years and are never let down. When we’re coming from LI or the airport we always go to Flushing, Chinatown in NYC when we are there. In the New Haven area we have Taste of China, Chef Jiang but Lin’s Kitchen is our favorite and worth the drive every time. Great authentic dishes, Szechuan selections. So delicious. Highly recommend.

There are some exceptionally good dishes here at this take-out only. Authentic Chinese with an attitude (which serves the overall experience). Don’t try to rush these people. And don’t expect Fortune Cookies. But never disappointing. Love the orange chicken and cold noodle salad. Excellent wonton soup.

Tasteless food, service was slow and unfriendly, with unfair & deceptive pricing. There was just a single waitress/owner. Very greasy food that was way over priced. The menu prices are NOT correct. After we ordered, owner disclosed that menu prices are pre covid, and current prices are higher (but not shown anywhere). When the bill came, it was at least 35 to 40% higher than menu price. For instance, soup for two was marked for $11.99, but got charged at $16.99. Worst of all, a tip of 15% got automatically added to the bill, for a party of only two people. It was rude and insulting. Reporting the place to consumer protection agency for deceptive pricing tactics. Avoid this place.
