Lin House — Restaurant in Radford City

I have been to Lin House quite a few times. I come here when I go to Radford for some business I do. Usually go to Radford 2 times a week and I will say once every other week I come here. The food is really not that special but its good and its flavourful. Their lo mien noodles are the best I've had. You can just expect a basic, tasty americanised chinese meal. Sometimes my son comes along with me on my trips and he looks forward to coming here. I don't believe the other review that said someone got food poisoning. The owner here is an interesting guy he sits on a computer he has set up beside the counter, he also sometimes sits outside and smokes. He's friendly and very awkward. I remember my last visit I have to admit I was quite uncomfortable. I was wearing my tie and when I walked out, he was sitting there smoking. He said excuse me and reached out to shake my hand. I shook his hand and he just grabbed my tie without even asking and said it was nice. Then he proceeded to ask me several times where he could buy good fruit. He also mentioned some things I won't write here. Awkward guy. He might try to talk to you a lot, if he does just politely walk away and say your busy or something. Otherwise he gives good service and the restaurant is basic and serves basic, tasty dishes. Worth a shot and cheap as dirt! Seriously,...

This is one of my favorite Chinese take out places. 9 times out of 10 this place is amazing. A couple times the rice has been undercooked and hard and once the sweet and sour chicken wasn't that fresh but usally the food is great. And 9 times out of 10 the delivery is fast and the people are very friendly. Once the driver could not find our apartment and I had to walk down the street to meet her and carry the two bags of food and my daughter who at the time was only 7 months old back up the street and up two flights of stairs. She was kinda rude about a tip because I had used my credit card to pay and left a tip that way and she said she wanted cash which I didn't have and she could have at least followed me to my apartment with the bags of food because I had my baby in my arms and it was pouring rain. Other than that this place is amazing. The chicken and broccoli and the vegetable lo mein is the bomb and they have some of the best egg rolls and...

Ripped Off! Live and Learn. My first time at Lin House, and the food was awful!! Is this what happens when food is made too quickly?? I am not a student, but an older person who has eaten both Mandarin/Cantonese food worldwide. I ordered Shrimp egg foo young. When I got it home, one of the patties was thin, and fell apart. Everything was extremely too greasy. I asked for extra gravy--for which I was charged; but the gravy tasted terrible too. I also ordered large egg drop soup--one can't go wrong with that, with extra fried noodles--for which I was charged. I'll save the soup, but the egg foo young, and gravy, will be thrown out. I won't come back here. How disappointing! There are some great Chinese restaurants in the New River Valley; I wouldn't list Lin...
