Lin Jia Asian Kitchen

Only places with great food have a waiting line. The food was just amazing! There was a smokiness to my meat that made it taste so fresh! The veggies were crunchy and well seasoned. I wanted a kick so they made it spicy but not over spicy but perfectly balanced so I could taste all the ingredients and spices they combined on my plate. I'm totally in love with their food and I'm definitely going back.

Came here for a late lunch on Monday afternoon. We were the only customers there during that time of the day so service was prompt. The restaurant gives off a clean and modern feel. I enjoyed the photos displayed around the restaurant. Ordered the basil chicken and walnut shrimp, with a side of brown rice. Food was great! Honey walnut shrimp is a dish I would consider my chinese soul food and they did a great job! Also enjoyed the basil chicken.

The food is fresh and flavorful. The people are the nicest, most polite, and very warm and welcoming. I had the basil chicken and stir fried mushrooms. They are excellent. I highly recommend this place.

I can honestly say if you go here you will not at all regret it! The atmosphere is super nice, the staff is amazing, and the food! The food was absolutely amazing and between the 3 of us we ordered way too much but everything was delicious, definitely worth the trip!

Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants out there! I think it's a little bit pricey than normal Chinese restaurants but it's definitely worth it! The staff are all really amazing and nice, they give off a "we're all family and having fun" kind of atmosphere! I think their best dish is their wonton soups, me and my friends will always get that no matter what else we are getting!

Elegant food and setting. Delicious, light, healthy, and made with loving care. The proprietor was warm and friendly while busy with food prep. Hope to come back to try the interesting crème brûlées.

LIN JIA offers a few celiac-friendly dishes. Their empirial rice is delicious, just above standard. The walnut shrimp is delicate and rich. The Singapore noodles are fragrant and earthy. LIN JIA is delicious and I would eat there every meal, every day if I could.

Food was delicious! We ordered soup and fried chicken. Eating it made us happy!

They always have great gluten free options. Imperial fried rice is outstanding. Becoming a frequent diner and haven't been dissatisfied with any of the dozen or so dishes I've had. Wonton soup - big amount and flavorful Nutty Sweet and Sour Chicken - not saturated in sugar like every other Chinese restaurant. Generous chicken chunks delicately deep fried with definitely more chicken than breading Jade chicken- fresh bok choy and a light sauce - GF Eat here

The Singapore noodles and Bumper Crop are my favorite dishes! Consistently delicious and the service is excellent. If you haven’t stopped in yet, give Lin Jia a try when you’re in the neighborhood!

The food was fresh and authentic, and the atmosphere pleasant! The manager/owner seems very kind too.

Love the Changsha beef, always forget to take pics of it beforehand but as you can see, nothing left each time I get it! Been coming since 2012

Love this place! Great food nice people and clean. I had the Mongolian chicken and I wall be back!

This is our go-to Chinese restaurant outside of Oakland Chinatown for family-style dishes that are executed with care and not overly Americanized. We like the celadon fish, cumin lamb, braised vegetables, and bumper crop. We've only ordered takeout, but every time we've been there for pickup the staff is unfailingly friendly and efficient, and the ambience is cheerful and pleasant 🙌 Thank you for bringing your culinary expertise to Oakland!

Don’t assume this is just another Asian spot. The dishes all punch way above their weight both due to freshness of ingredients and careful preparation. Maybe most critically, the staff CARES. They are amazing kind and attentive. A critical piece of Lakeshore Ave dining!

Great gluten-free options that don’t sacrifice flavor. Everything was fresh and food cooked with wok was nicely charred. Soup was flavorful. Service was attentive. Definitely will be back.

Was just there for the first time, this past Thursday and loved their healthy, fresh food, plus cheerful and not obnoxious, rushing-the-customer service and affordable prices. Will definitely be going back, probably after the Lunar New Year crowds!

Tried this place for the first time and was really impressed! It's VERY clean, with modern, pleasant atmosphere. All of the staff were really friendly and kept our waters filled, and dishes cleared, and the food came out quickly. I especially loved the shrimp rolls, the cilantro and dipping sauce made a fresh flavor and the wrapper was so light and crispy. We also had hot and sour soup, fried rice and wrinkled beans. Everything was prepared perfectly and with generous portions, so we took some home, and they even boxed it for us which further elevated the experience. I paid with cash and they made sure to give me small bills for change which made it easy for me to give the tip without needing to ask for more change. Honestly the best service I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Lin Jia is always consistent. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff is always warm and welcoming and it seems like a nice atmosphere. I generally just get take out. My favorite is the spicy canton noodles with shrimp. Its a bit pricey but nowadays there is no cheap food in Bay Area. At Lin Jia you get what you paid for: high quality tasty food.
