Fu Lin Asian Cuisine

I visited this place with my friends. Tried veg munchurian and veg fried rice. Veg munchurian was simply amazing it exceeded all my expectations! Fried rice was too good as well it had very little oil and was flavorful. The host was friendly and service was good. Nice ambience. Quite place. Go for it!

Tried this place after a real long time and they have improved a lot ! Food was very good. True indian Chinese style cooking .
Chilli chicken, chilli fish, chicken Hakka noodles and chicken fried rice were all yummy !!
Would go back again !!

One of the Best Indo-​Chinese Restaurants in the Region.
The American Chop-​Suey is Fantastic.

Tried chilli paneer dry, veg pakora in mongolian sauce and fried rice — not great at all!

The food is fusion Chinese and Indian and it’s full of taste. It could be spicy for some ppl but the taste is worthy it

Excellent food! Large portions. We had the Mongolian Beef n Mongolian Shrimp. They were delicious!!! I will definitely be back.

This place had great food and ridiculously cheap. I think it would do better in a different location where people appreciate Indo-​Chinese cooking. It has a great vegetarian selection. The food is on the spicy side so «mild» here is «spicy» at any other Chinese restaurant. If you order spicy or extra spicy plan on a painful experience.

Update in that I again ordered the same thing only to get some average food. I got some other quite good food (I think it was beef lollipops, which were very nicely seasoned), but I was disappointed with the quality of the entrees.
I think I’ll try to get delivery from this location, because as others mentioned… pickup is a bit… uncomfortable.

I order for my employee’s he put too much broccoli and not enough shrimp he needs yo be fair not much happy

Great food always hot and clean place would recommend also spicy chart is awesome that’s if you like hot hot

My boyfriend and I were on the mood for Chinese so we decided to give this place a try and ordered takeout since we saw good ratings.
We got there and the person at the desk didn’t seem all that friendly. She even seemed like she didn’t like her job nor want to be there. The guy came out and I felt like he was rushing us while we were looking at the menu as contemplating what to get. We finally ordered beef lo mein and sesame chicken. The food was quickly made so I give them points for that.
We got home and opened our selections. When I first saw the lo mein, I had the initial reaction that it didn’t look promising at all but we gave it a try any ways. The noodles tasted overcooked and there was hardly any flavor to them. The beef was also tough and chewy. We moved on to the sesame chicken, which looked a bit more promising. The chicken was well cooked but the flavor still wasn’t all there. Overall, the sesame chicken was alright.
I don’t believe we’ll be back there any time soon.

Over priced and just not that good. Don’t waste your money.

For a while I’ve been trying to find a place in the Charlotte area that has good Indo-​Chinese. Then I found one, up in Cornelius, which was quite a drive. Then I found THIS, and now I’m happy.
So one of the reasons you should go here for all your Indo-​Chinese cravings, the owner Lin, is an Indian born Chinese and lived in India most of his life. Which guarantees authenticity. Yes, stay away from all those Indian restaurants that claim to have Indo-​Chinese on their menu (I’m looking at you, South Indian restaurants), and stick to real Indo-​Chinese.
We ordered the chicken lollipop appetizers (that’s the Indo-​Chinese version of wings) and it was yummy. Perfectly marinated and fried, without any artificial food colors. For the entrée we ordered the Mongolian Paneer (which is slightly sweet since it’s cooked in a plum sauce) and Chicken Manchurian (battered and deep fried pieces of chicken in a soy sauce, garlic and cilantro based gravy). Both hit the spot.
I was a little disappointed with the service though. We had to ask for water twice, and service was pretty slow. Even though they were not busy (only two other tables were occupied) they still took forever to bring our check. Maybe they were just understaffed that day and it’s not a usual thing. Hopefully our next visit will be better in terms of service and I can update my review accordingly.

I still want to try more things here but this selection… cheburecki, crab rangoon, pad thai, shrimp tom kha… nope, not again. Maybe its a different cook than last visit?

The cocky waiter is gone so I’m restoring the 3 star rating.
My favorite flavor here is the dry-​rubbed Pakora (pic #7)
I find the individual dishes a bit limited to make for a satisfying meal on their own, for that reason I think the food here works best when you’re with friends and everyone shares.

Went to have lunch today coz some friends suggested that it was good a while ago. Asked the guy at front if he would be kind enough to switch the AC on such a hot day. He did not think so. Ordered a fried rice, chicken lollypop and chilli chicken. And then w/​o thinking and having a mental image of how a good indo-​chinese food would be, ordered 2 fried rice and chilli chicken to-​go for my friends.
When the dishes came back, my wife was furious at me… no wonder… who would order to go w/​o trying out the restaurant first.
The fried rice cannot be more horrible than this, we called the waiter and asked if he could stop the togo… it was too late. The chicken was old stock and smelly.
We gave the feedback to the waiter and the manager or owner not sure who he was came to us and demanded to know what was wrong. I said i did not like it and did not feel tasty. He says… i need to know what is wrong… then i just told him to forget it and get me the check.
He offered to take it back and redo it, it came back with some spice and more oil. I just had to just split at the time to make sure i dont do anything stupid…
He made sure that i was billed for everything. I just paid and left.
Never going back again and strongly recommending not to go
— Bad, old food
— Poor air circulation/​AC — even the cooks sweat
— Very bad customer service

I’ve been going here for years now. The great flavors and choices in food are and always have been consistently great. Whenever I introduce people to Fu Lin they love it and come back for more.

This place is great! I suggest ordering the chicken lettuce wraps and the honey chicken… delish

Pros:
Food and presentation was great. I asked for spicy and it was just the right amount of spicy, nearing uncomfortable but still very comfortable.
The vibe in the restaurant was cool. It still felt like a Mom and pop, but not run down at all.
Cons:
15% gratuity was added for a party of two, without forewarning.
Miscommunication with the server led to purchasing $ 2 of rice after it was said to be included.

As you pull into the parking lot, it is not for the reason you expect — we will not be stopping at the Crazy Horse. At least, not initially. If you want to later, that is entirely up to you (eyes on you, Jay R.).
Know in advance that this little strip mall tucked along Independence Boulevard has seen better days. At least, I assume they have, because they sure don’t look too hot now. Ten years (give or take) ago, you could have at least found a T.G.I. Friday’s in the middle of the lot. Now it is a boarded up husk. Not even furniture outlet stores will dare to make their way inside. Not legally anyway. If you see someone there, you might want to keep going.
Then there was the Rock & Roll Emporium, sort of a mom-​and-​pop version of Spencer Gifts that did quasi-​illicit piercings in the back room. Not terribly sanitary, but that does take the fun out of it, right? Then there was Seven Doors Down, which was not a band, but a lingerie/​adult gift shop, that was actually run by said mom and pop, and started seven doors down from the emporium. Even a really bad little pizza buffet, now (thankfully) gone as well.
These days you just have the Crazy Horse, what appears to be a Happy Endings Massage Parlor down the way (hmm… now we know why we get so many visitors from Northern California!), Don Pedro for Mexican and Fu Lin. I think the Laser Quest may even have closed by now.
But that’s okay, because Fu Lin is indeed a gem. Their menu is not only impressive for vegetarian offerings, as Julia S. has mentioned, it is, in fact, impressive on just about every offering. Even the Cheesecake Factory may come to them for menu advice.
Now I am no expert on either Indo-​Chinese or vegetarian fare. But I do like to eat. And the food that we ordered up here was awfully tasty and some dishes come served in the coolest little steel woks to boot. Talk about awesome. The service wasn’t exactly speedy, even though we were among the only people in the place (thus the lack of star #5). But it is well worth a trek to the seedy side of town. Slip through the dark side and cross that line when you get a chance.
