Kind of a shame that this place is closed down! I thought we needed some more Chinese food around he Irving region because we definitely had a lot of Vietnamese and Thai! I thought the portion sizes were quite large (which is great) and the quality of food is also very good. I was wanting to come back again but too bad that they're now closed! :(

If I could give less of a star I would. First of all, there are no chop sticks served at this restaurant. Second I ordered few sushi rolls, and the were HORRIBLE to say the least. They put Sugar in their rice!!! Sugar and raw fish do NOT go together!! I tried to mask the sugar with the salty soy, but it was impossible. Don't waste your time with this place! Go to Blue Fish!!

I ordered the egg drop soup, crab rangoons and spicy crunch salmon roll. Let me start by saying the soup and rangoons were good. THE ROLL ON THE OTHER HAND. No crunch whatsoever and the salmon tastes like I'm eating pasteurized meat. And doesn't taste like salmon. A whole mouthful of mush. I would definitely avoid the rolls.

.. Appetizers came quickly .. but when our main dishes arrived my girl notice that her plate had Peanuts on it . We told the waitress she couldn't eat it due to her allergies. She then replied .. " why did u order it then " . After I took a min to not call her out of her name .. she then stated " Have u never order this ? " as to say I should have known that they served it with a handful of peanuts on top . I advised her that everyone doesn't make it the same way . And most authentic Chinese places put what's in the dish on the menu . She then advised me to Knock all the peanuts off and a

I had lunch here today. The Szechuan Tofu was really good. My order came out in about 8 minutes (this was midafternoon). The server was really nice when I asked her for vegetarian recommendations. The place is also really cute. The food was tasty but not salty - what a win! It cost about $7 for the lunch special which included wonton chips, rice, and an eggroll.

I NEVER eat Chinese food but I drive from Arlington to Irving just to get my fix. Their food is fresh and always good.

This is hands down the best Chinese food I've had since living in Dallas. Solid everything. You won't regret it.

I'm spending a couple nights at the Best Western while I work in Dallas, and after a particularly long Friday decided to order Chinese food from this establishment. It's located in the same parking lot and, based upon so many wonderful reviews, seemed like a logical choice. I ordered online and went in right at 5pm to pick up my food. Honestly this place was about 3/4 full and the phone was ringing off the hook. I ordered "Crispy" Sesame Chicken and Orange Chicken, both with white rice, and some Crab Rangoons. I knew there would be plenty of leftovers for at least two full meals, and with a fridge and microwave in my room I would be able to work on reports and not leave my room. Unfortunately both of the entrees were chicken. I ordered such based on so many "this is our favorite restaurant" reviews. Maybe folks in Dallas have never had decent Chinese food, because this was far from good. I gave them two stars based on properly cooked white rice, decent if overpriced "crab" rangoons, and Sesame Chicken sauce that was ok, but definitely too sweet. My biggest issue is with the chicken itself. The online menu said "juicy chunks of white meat chicken" but that is far from the truth. I've eaten plenty of chicken in my time, literally hundred of meals at other Chinese restaurants, and I've never seen such small, stringy pieces of mostly breaded meat. It was tough, and if that is white meat, I'd love to know what part of the bird it came off of. I was going to strip the breading off a couple pieces and take a closer look, but honestly I didn't want to. I ate maybe 1/4 of each entree, and tossed the rest in the trashcan. The included vegetable were undercooked, but where still preferable to the tiny strips/pieces of meat. The sauces for both were way too sweet, and the "medium spicy" Orange Chicken was loaded with leather tough pieces of dried peppers that were scorched and frankly inedible. I had to hand pick through the entree to remove all of the peppers along with the bitter strips of fruit peel that were tossed in for an orange-like effect. Really unappetizing. People - seriously, you can do way better than this place. Pay attention to the reviews that aren't five stars - they are far more revealing and honest. I know for a fact having lived in Texas in the past that there are great Asian restaurants out there - but this is not one of them No thank you.

Pretty bad. Don't waste you're time or money. Worst egg roll maybe in the history of egg rolls. Couldn't eat the Mongolian beef. Too chewy and veggies were thrown in as an afterthought. Not cooked at all.

Um what is this? We ordered fried rice and the rice was sautéed in oil with peas and carrots. We also ordered General Tso's chicken and Orange chicken and they both were the same dishes. 10/10 NOT recommended.
The lo mein was sooo disappointing. Do not get it unless you like plain, flavorless noddles with some chicken and bamboo shoots. This is the main reason I'm giving it two stars. It's a classic and it was terrible. The Mongolian beef we order was good. I would order it again. There were green and red bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and Szechuan peppers in it (it was not spicy). The crab rangoon was also good. It's the first Chinese place in the area I have tried so I don't have anything to compare it to around here!

Awesome little place. Love it. Great food for someone as picky about chinese food as from Beijing.

Fast and friendly service. Food came out to order, was very flavorful. Only drawbacks packets of fake Chinese mustard, and the spring rolls were too greasy. We did enjoy our Mongolian Beef and Garlic Chicken, both were cooked just right and had plenty of meat and veggies. It was also nice to find a homey sit down Chinese restaurant that wasn't buffet or a small hole in the wall place.

Don't let the outside appearance scare you away. I'm glad I didn't run away. Lol All dishes are made fresh to order. Their sushi was fresh too!! I would highly recommend Lin's Garden and would return when in the moose for Chinese and Japanese food!! I got the Seafood Delight and is came with an actual Lobster tail!!!

I can't say how the food taste because I was actually turned off by the fact that: It smelled like a old DIRTY GEASE FACTORY!!I was the only person in the restaurant besides the staff.
