  I've been coming to linlee's since I was a teenager. This is my go to spot for chinese food. I always being people here and they never disappoint me.
  
  I always order the mongolian beef and ask them to make it spicy for me which they always do. As far as I can tell the entrees all come with steamed or fried rice and you cant go wrong with either. Portions have always been generous and staff has always been incredibly warm and welcoming.
  
  If you want to try the place out I suggest getting there in time for the lunch special which usually comes out to 6 bucks give or take a dollar. You get eggflower soup (which is so good I've gone there just for that), a fried dumpling, eggroll, entree with choice of rice. You cant beat the price!
  
  Yeah its not the fanciest place in the world and not in the best location but considering that and considering how long they've been in business despite that you cant question the fact that they are doing it right.

  Best salt and pepper chicken wings! Ive been coming here for years and their food is always good. No, they haven't updated their decor in decades and don't seem to even have a website. But if you're in the area, they have amazing Chinese food. I like their wings, chicken salad, fried rice, wonton, pot stickers. Everything is made fresh so expect about a 20 minute wait for dine in or a pickup order.

  This mom and pop family restaurant is pumping out great Chinese food for a very reasonable price.   They were very friendly and attentive.  
  
  We had lunch here and they offered many lunch specials from $5-7.50.  All specials came with fried rice, soup, egg roll, and pot sticker.  White rice is also an option.  The soup was egg flower soup and it was well made with lots of chicken flavor.  
  
  Our entree was their Yu Shiang Chicken.  It was in a dark brown soy based n garlic sauce.  There were fresh onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers with the sliced chicken breast meat.  It had a little bit of a tangy spice kick to it but it was well made.  I would prefer a little less sauce on my plate only because the sauce tends to run all over the bottom of the plate, and overwhelm the entire dish with sauce including the side of rice on the other side of the plate.  It's still a great dish!
  
  The decor is a bit dated but it reminds me of the old school Chinese restaurants you would see in the movies.  Once you start eating, you should forget about the decor and focus on the great authentic food.  It's a very nice mom n pop shop.

  Terrible customer service and food was below average. Order was also messed up.
  It was cheap but you get what you pay for.
