I wasn't sure if I should do a review because I dont want more people crowding my favorite restaurants ha! This place is the BEST Chinese restaurant in Georgetown. Best flavor, good quality meat and huge portions. I've been living in Georgetown for 15 years and this is place is such a treat. I normally get sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli and veggie spring rolls. My entire family eats and we have plenty of leftovers for later. Pricing and customer service is wonderful.

Good Chinese food, if you don't always expect the "traditional" dish. I had General Tsao's Chicken. It was made with jalapeños instead of the traditional Chinese red peppers. The chicken pieces were very large and had to be cut in half. The flavor was good, but with a Mexican accent. Their hot & sour soup was great, as well as my wife's Shrimp Lo Mein. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Such a wonderful place for Asian food. It's good to find a restaurant committed to a quality dining experience. This place does this without being pretentious or stuffy. We really liked the honey glazed shrimp. We also dined on orange chicken. The flavor was spot on. I will order it again, but I'm going to request it be prepared from thigh meat instead of white meat. I think the owners will be nice enough to let me do that. All-in-all, I'm glad we found this place and it goes into our rotation when we stay in the Georgetown area.

The first time I heard about this place was while Doordashing an order, and the food smelled so good that I knew I had to come try it for myself. Once we finally came in, we instantly knew this would become one of our go-to spots. The staff is amazing especially the gentleman up front (I didn’t catch his name), he was such a sweetheart. When I left a tip, he was surprised and said “God bless you,” and it truly made my night. Thank you all for the wonderful service and great food!

I have eaten here two times this year. It feels very clean and comfortable. I had chicken with cashew nuts both times and egg drop soup. We went on a Sunday about 11:30 with a large group from church. My food was good and everyone else enjoyed their entrees. Prices are reasonable. Also a convenient location away from the heavier traffic in Georgetown.

Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had. I definitely wasn’t expecting to find it in Georgetown, TX! Started my meal with egg drop soup and Crab Rangoon. Then we shared the General Tso’s Chicken and The Happy Family. Everything was super flavorful! I’ll be ordering again soon.

Today is 10/13/25 and it wasn’t even a FRIDAY!!! Food is always delicious with great service. We eat here at least twice a month. Today we came and we ate. We received our bill and to our surprise the owner walked up to us and said someone paid for our meal!!?? We were in shock!! I can’t believe this exists anymore…. BUT IT DOES!!!! And to our family. Blessed. Thank you to the mysterious person, Thank you to Lins Cafe for always being a great restaurant! Truly impressed today…WOW INDEED!!

Honestly it's the best American Chinese food I've had in Georgetown. The meat is cooked well and the sauces are great. Definitely my go to when the Chinese craving hits. Would definitely recommend.

We are from Colorado, they have tons of Chinese restaurants, couldn’t find one that was good in Georgetown, until now. Love the food!

Had great dinner! Food was good, staff was attentive and friendly! They have a hidden menu item of sesame balls which is one of my wife's favorites.

Good food and nice selection on the menu. Wonton Soup was great! We also ordered Combination Lo Mein, eggrolls, and Chinatown House Special. Glad to see more Asian Restaurants in Georgetown!

Nice place. Super friendly staff. Food is okay (wish it was more spicy). I've tried about everything on the menu. Best choices for me is the Pad Thai and Lo Mein combo (lots of different meats and seafood). It's basically our go to take-out asian food in Georgetown.

While the food isn't bad I wouldn't say it's the best in Georgetown, TX either. Service is quick and friendly, hence the three stars, I would only give the food itself 2. With the exception of the egg drop soup, that was rich, eggy, and full of flavor. Everything else was lacking in flavor except the taste of oil. We got the soup as I mentioned as well as pork fried rice (no onions), chicken lo mien (no vegetables), sweet and sour chicken (which was moist even when reheated), and chicken and black bean sauce (no vegetables but also had a slight bitter flavor here and there). Now you might argue that there was no flavor because I didn't get the vegetables I would argue that this is how I order it at Misu Sushi and Fortune Garden and it still has plenty of flavor without the overwhelming taste of oil. I mean after I spooned out the noodles from their container there was at least a teaspoon of oil left in the container and that doesn't count what dripped out because it torn on the bottom. Would I eat here again? Probably only if both the other restaurants I mentioned earlier closed. Mind you it is also out of my way to go here so that is also an added factor. If I was really craving Chinese food and everywhere else had closed then I might return but when I ordered I would asked them to go easy on the oil.

I’ve always been pleased with the quality of the food here but today I picked up lunch and my won ton soups were literally water with a couple dumplings. Absolutely no taste whatsoever. The special kung pao was also flavorless minus the peanuts. Very unusual for this place. Ended up throwing it away.

We decided to try Lin's Cafe for the first time the other day. We came by for a late lunch and were not greeted. We stood waiting by the door awkwardly for a minute, until finally another guest said that it was a seat-yourself place. When the waitress came around we placed our order and it did come out quick. I ordered the fried rice, and unfortunately, it was not tasty. It was rice, eggs, green onions and a few pieces of chicken placed in a circle around the plate. There was no seasonings and it tasted very bland. Most fried rice dishes have more veggies and flavors packed in, but this one did not. The kids plates do not include rice, which we found a little odd as well. Our friend did enjoy her orange chicken, so if we come back, I would try something similar to that next time.

It was very 'meh' at best. Was served a plate that was obviously cracked from the edge through the middle. Was fearful of swollowing the sharp pieces. They did replace it but I was turned off by the very fishy smell of my 'beef and scallops' plate. I did like thr hot and sour soup though. I probably won't be going back though.

My wife and I decided to try Lin's. I had the Orange Chicken with fried rice. A big disappointment in all regards. The chicken pieces were large and required cutting into 4 pieces in order to eat. The breading was bland as was the orange sauce. The fried rice, which was an unusually small portion, had no egg or meat pieces as it should normally have. My wife's Sesame Chicken had the same issues. We do not plan to return as there are better options.

RUDE. the waiter was extremely rude the entire time we were in the building. She walked off while we were speaking to her. We asked for crispy noodles while we were eating out soup and she had an attitude, I asked for lemons for the table she brought a SINGULAR lemon. I am the type of person to never not leave a tip but after the service I received there was no way I was leaving a tip. The woman had the AUDACITY to say “you no leave tip? You leave cash? Why you no leave tip” as if a tip is required ma’am if your service is not up to par then why are you expecting more money out of me. I typically leave a $5 tip at least anywhere I go. This was in acceptable I will NEVER dine here again and I suggest no one else do as well.
