Lin's Grand Buffet — Restaurant in Phoenix

We chose this place because number 1 buffet in Avondale had a ridiculous wait time. I always assume this place would be exactly what I have experience and was not disappointed. Upon coming in it’s very bright not the usual low key ambience that you expect from buffet settings. You are billed before sitting down which is expected this is the hood. Food was very mediocre, dried chicken(some not all), desert cakes semi dry but not horrible. Food was edible but not as tasteful or much of a selection as other buffets but I suppose that is expected from the size of the establishment. There is a dome ceiling so acoustic are horrid! Lots of children running around and the high pitch that usually is made by spoiled loud children is definitely a sharp stab to the ears. This places did not feel like a dinning experience but more like animals crammed into a small room to eat. Loud and people pushing each other to grab food … it was definitely an experience to remember and not to repeat. Ooo and before I sign off they did have a grill station that had steak. That was definitely the best part of our night which we found towards the end of our meal. We won’t be coming back , we just have experience a higher quality dinning experience with other buffets and this was not for us but I will say they are definitely catering to the right crowd that’s for sure! Our server was great staff was friendly. Tipping bring cash- we weren’t given an option to tip when we were charged for our entrance fee. If anyone gives reviews about attitude from staff or servers I don’t blame them that places was like dinning...

I went here thinking that the food and the sushi were going to be delicious bc of the pictures… Well i figured out real quick that it was not even in the slightest of what thought at all! The building is huge, so my first thought was big buffet, right? I was very wrong, the buffet was tiny and the food options were scary. I started off by getting the sushi because that is one thing that caught my attention when picking where we were eating… First off the lady making the sushi looked like she was very unhappy, she would give us dirty looks when getting the sushi, and the sushi was very plain and not very tasteful. Next i moved on to the buffet and there were only 5 things that looked a little appetizing. I got the fried rice which kind of shocked me because it tasted like plain white rice, both of their egg rolls ( the vegetable egg roll was the best tasting one but it was watery and mushy on the inside), i got their orange and sesame chicken and the sesame was not bad but the orange chicken had a funky taste to it. I also tried their orange noodles with veggies and it almost didn't have any taste, then i went on to dessert… i tried all of their little square cakes and they were all really dry, i tried their strawberry covered bananas and they were warm, mushy, and some how didn't really have a banana taste, their jell-o tasted like chemicals, and their ice cream was pretty much liquid and you would think at lunch time all of those things would be the best but guess not… Will not be wasting my...

I was truley hoping for better based on the reviews. I went on a Saturday evening around 8:30pm figuring the rush would be winding down..NOT.

1. It was so loud in the place between the screaming kids and the music that I couldn't hear the cashier tell me who much it was.

2. I'm sorry but loud Mexican music in a Chinese restaurant just doesn't mix.

3. The sushi selection was extremely limited, the rice was dry which tells me it had been there a while and it was lacking in flavor and presentation. I understand that it's a buffet but it could have been much better. So if you know what good sushi is don't waist your time here.

4. I made a hibachi plate and the guy burned it because he wasn't paying attention and mine was the only one on the grill at the time.

5. 95% of what was on the buffet was unmarked as to what it was and barley luke warm.

6. I went through my entire meal with a server walking passed me continually and not once did they ask if I wanted more water. Once it had gotten my ice cream for desert he finally asked me if I wanted more water. I told him it would have been nice to have been asked while I was still eating my dinner but not to bother now as I was finished.

7. I give it one star because at least the ice...
