Reviews for Lin's Express in McAllen, TX
Doesn’t taste right. It’s like someone who doesn’t know how to cook Chinese food made this. The beef and broccoli was the... best thing I ordered and it wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. The fried rice and the egg drop soup were both very weird. Theyput onions and scallions in the egg drop soup which I’ve never had in 37 year of eating Chinese food and it totally changedthe flavor of the soup and not in a good way. The “ Fried rice“ had big chunks of onion and it was not good. It had noflavor. I definitely won’t be back but was hoping the bad reviews were just an off day. Read more
The location is in a busy area, need to be careful. I ordered chicken fried rice for $10.99 and well ehh the fried rice was ok... I’ll give it a 6/10 …the chicken though. It tasted very rubberish & ruined the rice. I honestly would give it a secondchance but without the chicken… uhh the restaurant is pretty clean inside and out. The restrooms are clean and for single use.I came around 4PM-5PM and it was dead I only saw one couple there but I feel like every time I pass by it’s emptyhonestly… Customer service 8/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Accuracy 8/10 Food 6/10 Overall experience 7/10 Read more
We ordered online at Lin’s Express on the app from their website (Mealkeyway) to pick up at 3:30-3:45pm on a Sunday. We... ordered four plates: sweet and sour chicken, lo mein beef, orange chicken, and sesame chicken. It was a ton of food that camewith 4 crab ragoons and 2 egg rolls, 2 fried rice and two lo mein noodles. We are a family of six and it was a LOT of food. Wehave leftover’s. The food was warm, not hot, but today is a cold day outside. They were prompt in having our food ready, andwe picked up at the drive thru. I will order for pick up from here again! Yummy food :) Read more
Wow, where to start? We ordered online. The website was easy to navigate. I ordered the generals chicken ($11+). Spicy is an... understatement. The spice is supposed to enhance the flavor of the meal not overwhelm it. My butt will be bleeding later. ThanksLin's Express. Had two bites and couldn't finish it. I can do spicy hot but this was unreal. Not good. Maybe it was just thisone time. My drink ($5) was the classic milk tea the puke orange drink pic I posted below. Not sure what this drink was but Ipoured myself a drink at home instead. My husband ordered the seaseme chicken. More like rubber bland chicken. His purple drinkwas supposed to be a Thai Tea but it's not. Idk if there's a Hispanic twist to it but it's not Thai. The egg rolls were awful.Absolutely disgusting. The lo mein noodle were bland & cold. Overall $43 spent. Can't say wasted because every meal is aculinary adventure. We, our family & friends will not be eating at this establishment. Best of luck and hopefully improvementswill be put in place. When we arrived to pick up our meal a cook was sitting outside smoking a cigarette. Just a friendlyFYI. Don't recommend this place. ???????????????? Read more
Today was my first time to Lin's Express and I was impressed. The dining area was clean, had a nice open feel and the staff was... attentive. Once we ordered, the food came fairly quickly and tasted great. Everyone in our group was very satisfied with theflavor, temperature and quality of their food. I will be returning and look forward to trying other items on the menu. Read more
Good stuff. Large portions and fair prices. Some dishes could use more veggies. We will definitely return and comes recommended.... Free refills on some beverages and the place is attractive. Staff is attentive and nice. Read more
I got orange chicken as this dish is familiar to me and I had something to compare it to. The amount of food for the price is... amazing! Lots of food. Enough for 2 people easy. The presentation, also good. I'm currently doing all take out due to c19. Thetaste of the orange chicken is very good compared to Panda. Lots of sause. Small chilis..nothing compared to Panda. Dish isservers piping hot. Drove 4 miles back home and I'm burning my tongue eating. Lo Mein is also good. Looks and tastes fresh. Andto top it off, there are small pieces of orange peel! (Part of the dish) will visit again!! Read more
I really like this place, but today's combination fried rice and low main was an absolute disaster. The rice had so much soy... sauce that it looked burned of how dark it was, same thing for the low main. If we didn't live so far away i would've returnedthe food. Will not be ordering that again. The broccoli beef was pretty good with the white rice. That said this place ispreforming at a 33%. It's just disappointing. Read more
