The food here is aweful! I have no idea how this place managed to stay in business. When I went there I felt like I was eating food that someone had just pulled out of the freezer. Like they were cleaning it out and decided to serve it that night at the restaurant. It's terrible, do not waste your money... More

They have a great variety and the staff is friendly. As far as Chinese Buffets go, this place is very good.

We ate at the very beginning of the lunch hour and had great, fresh food and a nice variety of sushi. I have a 14 year old sushi lover with me and he was very happy. The food was good and warm and fresh, but we got there at 11 am. People could have been friendlier, but I don't expect... More

Large selection of various salads, entrees, and deserts. However nothing really stuck out to us as being superior. But, it is ok. The service was good and plenty of seating.

Sadly I was very disappointed! First of all, the food was dried out from the heat lamps (which I could overlook at first), the soup was obviously watered down, the Miso tasted like soy sauce and water. I got the Mongolian BBQ and while the cook was making mine he dropped the spatula on the floor, rinsed it with water... More

The only saving grace of this buffet is the Mongolian BBQ. The sushi is bait and the rest is overcooked, badly seasoned garbage. Cheap, but inedible. The interior is tatty and as unappealing as the food. Avoid..

For a buffet it's OK. New sushi bar and that is worth the price right there! Haven't tried the Mongolian BBQ but the assortment looks good -- I just ate too much sushi.

LinQ is your average Chinese-food buffet. Lots of good stuff. I asked for a nutritional pamphlet (something with ingredients and caloric values) and they didn't have one. In fact, the poor woman I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about. If you hve allergies or special nutritional needs, this probably isn't the best choice, but if you're... More

Nice buffet with a good variety. As with most buffets, it is really best to arrive right when the food is freshly rolled out at the beginning of lunch or dinner service. The staff does patrol the buffet routinely and the place is kept clean. The best part of this buffet is the food. I found it to be much... More

What horrible food. Flavors are off, like the filling in the pork bun was sort of like old won-ton filling. There was this strange biscuit that seemed like a Pillsbury Grands biscuit, fried and rolled in sugar. The meat looks old, and has an off-taste. The Mongolian Bar-B-Q has only 2 sauces, the meat is off, and it's all dry... More
