China Lin

This was the worst. Delivery was fast, the quality of food was not anything to write home to. We spent $ 40 dollars to dump it in the trash. We order hot sour soup, general tso and egg rolls.

They have a huge menu, the prices are awesome and the bathrooms are always clean. They do have a delivery charge but 99% of the time I pick up the order or have someone pick it up for me. They used to have a buffet but they stopped it a couple of years ago; at one point they had the unit next door (formerly Curves) and tried to make it a larger dine-​in section but most people wanted delivery or take-​out.
Not sure if the wonton soup is homemade or not (doubt it) and the eggrolls (shrimp) are frozen but what do you want for $ 1.35? If you are ordering any of the «beef and broccoli» or similar plates and you don’t like a variety of vegetables (carrots, green peppers, onion, mushroom etc) you have to tell them when you order. Even when I tell them no green pepper or no onion, sometimes it gets added so call them and check the receipt to make sure the order was taken correctly.
I am giving them five stars for fast pick up service, low prices and friendly wait staff if you are eating in. The only con is they don’t have fountain soda any more so if you order something that’s hot or spicy you might have to get an extra bottle of soda.

Good prices, big portions, and a friendly staff. Pickup for my takeout order was quick. 10 minutes. I ordered the Shrimp Lo Mein and it was really good! Not too greasy. My wife and kids ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was good also. The chicken was fresh and tasted great, however my wife thought the sauce was a little runny, but still really good. She prefers thicker sauce. The egg rolls were also very tasty (also not too greasy)!
It’s not fancy, and in the middle of a somewhat junky shopping center, but they have seating inside and do takeout. They also do delivery I believe.
All in all, it’s a great standard American style Chinese restaurant. We’ll definitely go back!

This is my favorite American-​style Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh. I’ve eaten at quite a few and this place is cheap, consistent, and everything is freshly made right when you order it (yes, its frozen, but they don’t do that giant vat of crap simmering all night thing).
The family that runs the place is really nice and they are quick and efficient. If you’re looking for gourmet, you’re at the wrong place — but if you just want solid, tasty, cheap Chinese food, China Lin’s the right place.
As a highlight — their lunch specials at $ 4.95 and you get a TON of food. GREAT place for lunch.

If you think China Express is good then this is the place for u. I ordered here based on the 4-​star review, and I ended up throwing everything away. You get what you pay for I guess. I ordered soup, Lomein, and chicken and broccoli with brown rice for $ 17. Everything was terrible and I guess brown rice now means the worst fried rice in history. To the previous reviewers… try Jimmy Wans you will be blown away.

This is a great place to get standard, American-​style Chinese food. It is very inexpensive and they make the food when you order it instead of taking it from a pan thats been in a warmer all day. Great lunch specials.

Very good, the delivery guy always gets to our house in Morningside within 30 minutes, awesome service!!!

China Lin is my go-​to local place for Chinese food. It is not upscale gourmet food, basic Americanized Chinese food, but good. The portions are huge and the family is so sweet, and they remember regulars like me. Once I ordered from a different address, and they said, «Oh? You move?» — LOL.
The steamed dumplings are good and I also like the crab rangoon. A good entrée is the sweet and sour chicken. My Dad likes the General Tso’s chicken, although his order was not super spicy, so you probably would have to ask for it spicy.
I live in Lawrenceville and it usually gets here in 20 minutes, although they cook everything to order. They delivery guys are polite and very nice, too, and come right up to the door.

I love this place! I have been eating here for years. It’s a friendly, family owned business and they always remember regular customers. It’s my fav place to grab some take-​out from. The portions of food are generous, and the prices are good too. I have never had anything I wasn’t satisfied with from here.
