Three friends and I just had a MARVELOUS lunch at Kin Lin, and we are especially grateful to Miranda, our server, for making it such a special event! When we arrived, Miranda was working the entire front of the house; she let us know about that but in a very kind and gentle way--just so we would know what to expect. As we navigated the menus (she brought us both lunch and dinner versions so that we'd know all the options), she gave us details about particular dishes, including the ingredients and how they were prepared. That was very important to us, as two of our party have dietary restrictions. She was friendly and cheerful and so accommodating, making notes for the chef regarding modifications of some of the dishes. She brewed a pot of delicious oolong-jasmine tea for us, and kept the pot refilled throughout our meal. She was incredibly gracious from start to finish, and really did create a special occasion for us. The food itself was DELICIOUS! We had the eggplant (the sweet version) as an appetizer, rice balls for dessert, and a different main course for each of us. I chose the Triple Delight (chicken, shrimp and vegetable) lunch special, which was a perfect portion size, and everything was yummy. I can't remember everyone's dishes, but I do remember one of the dishes was a shrimp fried rice with curry sauce; my friend shared some with me, and it was fabulous! Our spring rolls were crisp, and the rice was perfectly cooked, and everyone raved about the flavors in their dishes. The cost of our meals was extremely reasonable, and the ambience of the restaurant is warm and cozy. It was a perfect meal of truly excellent food, and many thanks again to Miranda for making it so special! Happy New Year!

The place is really good. My friend, Huddy, really likes this restaurant. So does my friend, Shea.

If you need a quick to-go Chinese takeout, this is a good place to try! It reminds me a lot of a Chinese place I had back in college. It's a good mix of Chinese-American dishes as well as authentic Chinese dishes too. I haven't sat in, so there are a few dishes that I'd love to try but is moreso for a sit-down experience rather than takeout. I really enjoy the mapo tofu, the shredded pork with tofu dishes! I asked them to take away the carrots from the shredded pork dish, and to my surprise, they subbed it with other vegetables! I was not expecting that at all! Service is pretty fast and the staff is very polite and nice. Maybe one day I'll be able to sit in and try some of their more shareable dishes, but for now, I enjoy grabbing takeout every now and then!

you can tell it's an authentic chinese restaurant by the decorations. ordered takeout during lunch and there did not seem to be many customers. it was my first time at this place and i hope they get more business during dinner time because you can tell there were only a handful of dedicated workers. it's in a predominantly white area. food was great! i would say definitely go during lunch as food can be pricey.

Just wanted to update my previous review again I did take out I got the pork with garlic sauce and eggplant very tasty a little on the hanging side and lots of eggplant. They currently have an offer of a free soup to get on their mailing list. The hot and sour soup is good.
