  This is my favorite Chinese restaurant and they have the best food and service. The portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. I would highly recommend to everyone. The atmosphere isn't the best but we get carry out a lot anyway

  If I could give zero stars I would. By far the worst Chinese food and customer service experience.
  
  We order two orders of General Tso's one with friend rice one with steamed. We orders these extra spicy and extra crispy, they were neither. We also ordered orange chicken, which has no orange taste at all, honey chicken, it was cold and flavorless, and fried pork dumplings, again cold and flavorless.
  
  We did a to go order and were told 30 minutes. My husband for there at about 25 minutes and waited another 20 minutes. We were annoyed for the wait but were hopeful that it would be hot since he had a less than 2 mile trip.
  
  We all made our plates and quickly realized how awful and flavorless the food was. Other than salt... so unbelievably salty. My friends husband called to complain and she (the owner I assume) told us to bring it back and we'll get our money back.
  
  My husband and my friends husband returned the food and were immediately accosted when they walked in the door. She first tore through the bag and was pointing out food missing... well we had to try it to know it was bad. She then accused us of just trying to embarrass them. Repeatedly said "this is bullshit." Finally the man who cooks the food (maybe the other owner) came out and gave them the money back. On their way out the door she yelled "don't ever come back."
  
  I grew up in restaurants and worked in one until I was 28. I have never in life witnessed such horrible customer service. I've also never tasted such horrible food..

  Lin's Wok is okay Chinese. It's among the best in Powell. There isn't that much excitement among the menu but it's what you're familiar with. It has the typical Americanized Chinese food. This is just sometimes what you want.
  
  I had the fried bean curd. It's about $7 for the lunch portion. This came with crispy tofu and a lot of vegetables. It was hot so there was something good about it. There wasn't much seasoning to it except soy sauce. It looked good because it had lots of color. There just needed to be more taste. It's pretty typical of thousands of other Chinese places in the area. The price of it wasn't too far off for what it was worth.
  
  It's not great but try Lin's Wok if you're in Powell. It's not good enough to get excited about and make a trip for. This is good if you're already around and hungry.

  If you go here expecting the typical Chinese food joint, you will probably be a little disappointed. I've been to numerous chinese restaurants and they all follow a pretty standard formula. However, my experience at Lin's was a little different. First, the fried rice is not like every other fried rice you've had. Which is good and bad. Good, because it's not as greasy and can be a nice change of pace. Bad, because fried rice is a gold standard when you are craving it, and theirs may not hit that spot. I'd skip it and just stick to the steamed rice, especially since the fried rice costs extra.
  
  I got the Garlic chicken and I noticed a few things.
  1. The chicken was actually relatively high quality.
  2. It was not spicy, as suggested it might be.
  3. Lots of vegetables. Perhaps too many carrots, but otherwise they were nice, big, and fresh.
  
  The meal in general was pretty fresh. Had a kind of homestyle chinese feel, not too salty or greasy as you come to expect from Americanized Chinese food. It's good, I thought it was a nice change from the usual kind I eat. Probably a little more expensive for the amount of food you get, but it's better quality, IMO. I'll definitely return to try something new.
