| - This place is a definite hit or miss Chinese buffet. We've gone here about 5 times, three of those visits were worthy of 1 star, the other two visits deserved 4 stars.
The last visit was horribly pathetic on so many levels, not all Lin's fault but hey, it is what it is. It was grocery shopping day, so usually we grab something quick after we unload and put away the groceries. Lin's is right around the corner, so we debate a bit on where to go and ultimately end up here. We say to each other "I hope this is a HIT night, not a miss". It was a miss, but still edible and the kids love picking out their own entrees. Here's where the demotion of stars happens, again not directly Lin's doing.
A family comes in after us, maybe 6 of them. They are seated directly behind our table. After the loud belching and choice words the man and woman start to argue, spewing out F bombs here and there, threatening each other with physical harm. He dares her to get up and try to slap his face, she dares him right back...she double dares him..ooooooooh! Well I started to get a little uncomfortable with the conversation, mainly because my 4 year old and 6 year old are sponges....and my 12 year old just stares and giggles. They also had a 6 year old, I know this because that's the topic of their argument. She says "you just a baby daddy, shut your f'ing mouth, you never do bleep when it comes to him so mind your own business...blah blah blah. Suddenly she decides to chuck a heavy glass salt shaker at him with the force of an MLB pitcher, but obviously this 200+ lb woman isn't on any league, and misses. Unfortunately her aim was right at my head...it swooshed by so fast on the top of my head, whew, luckily it didn't hit me head on. Here's where I'm confused, the waitress saw this event and asked me if I was alright, I was. Not once were these animals asked to leave, or confronted by the staff. My husband had to say something to the lady but other than that it was a free for all. I'm sure we'll eat there again...just be cautious of who sits near you...and please Lin's, replace those salt shakers with the cheap plastic or cardboard ones :)
