    Update December 2021, they still ask for face diapers a year later there's no mandate in Arizona. Sorry Lin's you just lost costumers for the winter, we went at Super Asian Buffet instead. Really good food, pay on arrival, fair price, no wasted time, great fast service!

    It was good for the price. The steak hot-off-the-grill moved my opinion from three to four stars even though it was just flank. If you love shrimp and seafood you may give five stars. There were at least four kinds of shrimp. They also had octopus and clams. There were at least two kinds of fish; breaded/fried and baked.

    Love it, the carry out is a bit more expensive, but definitely still worth it. Check out the Lo mein at this place I promise you it’s the best you’ve ever had. Like their fried tiny shrimps and the pepper beef dish, this place is run by Chinese people so you can trust the quality of the Chinese food. The head server dude is absolutely amazing, fast and courteous, their Coke is also pretty good. Definitely check out their sushi too, pretty decent.

    I was in Yuma for a month and ate here several times. The food was very good with a large selection at a good price. I like that they require masks at the buffet and they clean thoroughly. Excellent service too. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is that we were there a couple of Sundays and they had remarkable seafood options, but they couldn’t keep up with the demand, so when you went back to the buffet you found a lot of empty pans on many items. And this was shortly after they opened. If you know you’re going to have a large crowd every Sunday, then be prepared to keep those pans filled and coming out.

    I had been to this buffet several times before the pandemic had had a good experience. But this last time I was appalled at how it looked. Some of the food is good, anothers you can't not see it's reheated. The place itself could use a lot of loving care in the form of a deep cleaning,the bathrooms are a part that seem forgotten, very messy makes you feel unclean all around. Because of all that I have mentioned before and the fact that both y husband and I got diarrhea while still there.

    Very bad customer service. The guy in the mongolian beef area and the guys who gave us drinks were nice. Other than that everyone was rude. Its very sad that in the customer service industry theres people who dont give a care about manners and kindness. The food was ok. But i can eat the same food at panda express and the people there are nicer and food half the price. The energy here is off so if you want good food with positive energy dont eat here

    I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be sooooo Delicious! Wished my stomach was bigger lol! They have someone making sushi on site, grilling steak, ribs are full of flavor, meaty and juicy, a great variety of shrimp and so much more!! Ranges about $20 per guest drink included

    Great buffet, food is as fresh as can be. Ate until I was about to burst! The Jalapeno Chicken was deliciously spicy🔥 Staff were very prompt and polite.

    It's not the worst Chinese buffet, but it's not great either. The food was the correct temperature and approximately the correct flavor, but everything I ate was quite salty. The steak grilled to order was the best feature, but it was also quite salty. The staff clearing the table was very good and was tipped accordingly. The salad bar was pretty much American salad options, and nothing Asian was offered. This is the best Chinese buffet I have had in Yuma, but it doesn't compare to great Chinese buffets in Austin.

    This place is just gross. It has potential to be nice if the management and staff cared at all. The bathrooms are disgusting, and the buffet isn’t much better. The “soup” is like goo…not even edible. The bowls were dirty and silverware reminded me of a cafeteria. The silverware holders had crumbs in them. The food tasted like it’d been sitting for some time and most dishes had little to nothing remaining especially for peak dinner hours (we got there at 7 pm). There were several tables around us that never got bussed while we were there for 45 min. No idea how this place has 4 stars. The only saving grace is the soft serve and I don’t even want to know the last time the machine was cleaned. There are way too many other options in Yuma to spend your time and money on.

    Oh my ouch!!! The front cashier was rude to the max. The place was dirty. The food not so great. The cook , cooking the meat burn the meat. It was just not a great experience. I can't give then 0 start. But it won't let me. The waitresses were okay. No senior discount the lady said unless your 67. ( she said is not a big deal is just $1.50 off ) but she was rude.

    Lin's is about quantity, not quality. The food isn't bad. But, it isn't great. They do have a large variety of items: fresh fruit, desserts, traditional dishes, American dishes. I noticed many families were there for lunch. It is a good place to take kids since there is a lot they will like. Prices depend on age. Drinks ate not included. The server was very polite. However, dishes need to be removed when they're obviously ready to be taken. The place could use work. The booth I was seated in had a large chunk of one seat ripped out. It's dark, sort of musty. It needs refreshing.

    The waitress I had was a wonderful person she made me smile. In my books she gets 5 stars. The phone number to the restraunt tried calling up 5x no answer then it gose to fax machine . trying to get a hold to see if any one turned in a set of keys that rate of stars I give a 2.

    Yeah, this place was pretty bad. The food was nasty. I don't know how there making the food but their not cooking it right. Somethings really wrong with the food. My stomach started hurting once I got home. Another thing about this place is the bathroom. Horrible! Nasty smell, the bathroom is way too cramped that I slammed my knee on the handle of the toliet paper roll and one of the locks were broken! Whoever designed these bathroom needs to do some serious renovation. Geeze, fix this place!

    This place has a lot of potential, sadly our experience was not that good. From a rude waitress that will tell you "what donyou want?" To a dirty restroom that will take away your appetite. I don't know what's the issue bad salary? Understaffed? All I know is that they go above and beyond to make this a Bad experience.

  • 5/5 Alberto A. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the variety of dishes they have. Waitresses are very friendly and efficient. Price is very reasonable for the food is display. Shrimp, sushi and raspberry ice tea are my favorites!! Love this place!!😋

    While the food was hot and the staff seemed in their game I didn't feel the experience was worth the price. The bathrooms needed a cleanup plus graffiti were on the walls. We were seated in a less desirable location near an exit and the bathrooms, the table was wobbly. The overhead music wasn't loud, but sporadic; it just felt the vibe was off that night. But maybe it wasn't an "off" night either. But the food was good so there's that. I just expected more.

    So they clearly don't take previous reviews or feedback into consideration like they say they do. Wife found the restrooms to be absolutely disgusting but she had to go as she's pregnant. There is at least a 4-day old posting (as of this posting) that the restrooms were gross. Should be enough time to fix the problem. (If they actually take feedback seriously) And as you know, the cleanliness of the restrooms is usually a reflection of the cleanliness of the kitchen. My mom did work in cleaning industry before and she pointed out residue on the dishes after they were "washed" Personally I think the manager must be mean or tough on the employees since they all seemed to be in a bad mood starting from the host to the server. Only the cooks restocking food seemed to be in a good mood. They never once came to pick up plates. They never once came to offer refills. The one time I did stop a worker for a refill and to pick up plates she made a face like I just spit in her face or insulted her. We came in because my parents were visiting from out of town and they love going to EATS which is closer to the Wal-Mart. Since I hear how popular Lin's is locally, I recommended it. My dad's comments were that the food was a lot less tastier and there was a lot less options (to which we all agree). They charged us four drinks and only ever served us 3.. I think we're gonna stick to EATS. Not only is there more attentive staff; it'scleaner, tastier, they're more responsive and its actually a teeny bit cheaper.

    Nice china buffet restaurant better than the ones I am used to. Yuma, AZ area restaurants seem better than back in the midwest area I'm from. Will definitely be eating here more often

  • 5/5 Fiorella B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time there!! Everything was perfect for my son-in-laws birthday dinner. We also had an excellent waiter named Hector. He was so attentive with bringing our drink refills and clearing our plates!! Thank you Lin’s for a great dining experience!!! We’ll be back!!

    The food was really good I had not been here in years. The service was great.

  • 2/5 Sandra M. 6 months ago on Google
    Have been going here since opening. It seems to just get worse each time we have been there. The first thing to go was the outside appearance then the quality of the food. Upholstery in the booths are worn and torn and in need of repair. The ice cream machine was broken and dirty. There was not one dish which we chose that was not cold, even though you could see steam coming up from the trays. We chose fish fillets as one of our dishes and by the time we got back to our table they were so hard you could not eat them. A big waste of money. Needless to say we will NOT be going back ever again, and that is sad as we live in Yuma, not just a visitor.

    It's difficult to get into, u turn required. Pay and tip first, then eat??? The place seemed clean and well lit. The food was nothing to write home about, as it was hot, but overcooked and dry. Utensils were the cheapest they could find bent stabbing broccoli????. The little Mexican girl as cashier was totally inaudible behind a giant sheet of plexiglass and English was not a priority. The Mexican waiter forgot our drinks ‹h2o›, then when indicated I needed a refill he slammed Glass on the table. I think it was a Black cook at hibachi grill. Where are the Asians???? Soft-serve ice cream was watered down. For $16pp I've been to a lot better places. I'm new in town so I'll look for another Chinese restaurant you should too.

👍👍 Would have never found this place without Harvest Hosts, but glad we did. The entrance is a little rough, as others have said, but we got our Class A in no problem. A bonus is the barbecue is awesome! Also, very dog friendly.
