Middle of the road buffet offering. First time trying it out today, as Mandarin in Clemmons is closed Mondays. It's decent but can definitely do better. $26 lunch for two is a good price though. I don't love that they used styrofoam plates, and the plates were so flimsy that I had to double up to support the massive weight of food mountains I pile on for myself. Place itself is a bit of a dive that could use a facelift and some new seats for the booths. Not much to look at. Even some faint music would help. One person was running the whole front of the house today, but she was on the ball and quite friendly. I could see coming back someday when I'm really craving Chinese buffet, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Well, we tried! Let's say they had been on the radar for awhile and we never could seem to figure out if they were open it always looked so empty. Now we know why. Arrived after 6. Not a soul was in the place but staff. We walked by one employee twice on a laptop who never acknowledged us, and we had to acknowledge them both coming and going. It said open, but buffet closed at 4. Evening is order from the menu only dine-in or to-go. We gave it a try despite it being empty.... The lights were off above our table, and they had to turn it on for us (thank you). A huge dining room, but weird being alone. We watched two other families enter and leave when they found out no buffet. Perhaps offer it at least one night a week? Adjust buffet hours? 11-2 and 4-6? I assume that keeps food fresh and would draw people in. I wondered if our lo mein was off of the buffet from the day shift it came out so fast. It was average, and we split the combination order for around $10-11. Pork fried rice was leaving a lot to be desired, dry. Crab Rangoon were average. I asked for sweet and sour sauce and was given packets of duck sauce...sure. We also ordered an appetizer of fried dumplings, expecting gyoza. First, we got these long after our meal was over. They looked homemade? But smelled of refrigerator when I lifted it to my nose. I ate one, because I felt guilty for wanting to pay the $8+ to order them. The dough was way too heavy, and I'm not sure what the mixture was inside. Very sweet. Definitely a bao inspired piece but thicker. I'm a bit anxious over the food storage given the smells of the dumplings and duration of buffet hours....hmm. Would we return? Better options that are worth the drive. But we can say we tried!!

The woman working there is nice. Restaurant not very clean. Cross contamination with food??? My friend is allergic to shrimp, we didn’t eat any shrimp or ordered anything with shrimp. As soon as she started eating chicken wings, vegetable lo mein, and egg drop soup, she broke out in hives. I had the pepper steak and white rice. The steak was chewy. Place was pretty busy for lunch buffet. We ordered to go. Won’t be going back. Shellfish allergy folks be careful.

I went there sometime ago,and actually forgot the name. A friend wanted to take me out on Christmas and usually Chinese restaurants are only open. It was a happy accident that we found Lin's kitchen again. We were both very happy that we did. The food was still great, so was the service and the people are so kind!, and the prices are comparable for the food. I'm sure I'll be back many times. It's a buffet. MomParking: The price was for two and included the It is a buffet I would recommend to anyone.

This place is amazing & so accommodating. As we showed up a little over an hour prior to close. They allowed us to dine in & were so kind. You don’t find that much anymore. I highly recommend this establishment!!!

First time eating here, I’m really picky about my Chinese food but honestly they food is really good here. They use paper plates but hey I don’t mind it so do we ? the sushi options is t huge but the rolls are bigger than most buffets I go to. The price is WAY cheaper than most places we go. 10/10 would eat here

This was my first time eating from here, I ordered on he phone for delivery, it took 40 min to receive my food, no biggie. Upon opening my plate I could see the rice was extremely bland. I ordered chicken wings with chicken fried rice. This was the weirdest whitest looking chicken I had ever seen, almost transparent. I picked that out. The rice was bland as I knew it would be. The checked wings themselves were fried very hard. They didn't taste bad. I will not be eating here again.
