Lin Wah — Restaurant in Almere

First of all a little story.

Me and my brother in law on a super rainy day. We're looking for a Chinese place to in the first place get take out from. One shop for whatever reason was closed on a tuesday. Another shop didn't look very clean and the food really look appetizing at all. A third shop having a 30min waiting time because it was all you can eat. And finally we came to a shop that half a snackbar and half a takeout chinese which, just from the smell was a no go.

We googled a bit and found out about this place. From the reviews and pictures, it seemed decent enough.So we called and asked if there was any spot left to eat because we were so tired.We want to eat in instead of getting takeout. Luckily there was a spot left so we came in.And got seats instantly by a very nice lady that was sitting in the register. Looking at the menu , we saw that there was quite a lot of different items on the menu. Primarily you could swap between rice, noodles etc.

Also, to note that this is not a traditional Chinese restaurant.In my opinion, it's more of a mix of the surinamese-chinese kitchen. So thats why some people left a "this isnt authentic chinese food remark".

We went whit the fried rice and ketchap pork as per reccomendation of the staff. And let me tell you. This dish is MIGHTY. Its salty (even too if eaten alone). But if mixed with the rice its balanced and adictive. We contemplated getting a 2nd serving but our sodium levels would prob be trough the roof.

Speaking to the waiter the restaurant has been in service for a decade or two. Whith my brother in law going there for the first time in the 15years he lived there.

The atmosphere itself isnt anything special, but its cosey and sufficient. Neat but not suit inducing.

Price wise i cant fault it either. Will definetly return here for that oh so sweet ketchap beef dish. And of course the...

A nice restaurant with good food and friendly owner/host. The lady who was our host was a bit hostile initially but then was she was very helpful to choose the dishes and suggested the quantity too when we kind of tend to order more. As a vegetarian I had some issues with the noodles tasted a bit different (may be oil or something used) hence a star less for food. But if you love fish and you are a non-vegetarian then this is a must...

We gingen hier eten, manlief, mijn bejaarde moedertje en ik op de dag dat zij en ik oma en overgrootoma zijn geworden van een wonder van een (achter)kleindochter (op 5 november 2021). Vroeger, toen ik nog in de buurt woonde, kwam ik hier regelmatig voor een afhaalmaaltijd (vooral die fantastische knapperige kiploempia). Vanaf het allereerste begin toen winkelcentrum Muziekwijk er stond. Nu besloten we er te gaan eten. En wat was het verrassend smakelijk en gezellig! De eigenaresse is lief en vrolijk en enorm grappig en heeft voor iedereen een persoonlijk woordje en grapje. Niet is moeilijk of teveel en wij zijn best lastig, weten we zelf. Je wordt helemaal in de watten gelegd en het eten was echt HEERLIJK. We hebben zo gesmuld. De paksoi, zalig! Alles was heet en vers en lekker en yum yum. Dus, nog nooit gedaan want ik kook altijd zelf uitgebreide diners met Kerst, nu overwegen we Chinees te gaan eten op 25 december. Bij Lin Wah. Als de coronaregels het toelaten (dat is nog...
