Do have a buffet all you can eat ?

Yes all you can eat there

What are the prices

Call them. They are cheaper at certain hours during the week. Sr and military discounts. I liked the one at Yarbrough better. We paid $11 for senior weekend and $8 for senior and military during the weekday lunch. I think after 4 it goes up but you get to have freshly grilled steak!

Do the have crab legs on tbe buffet?

Yes.. Sunday all day

How mich is the buffet?

It's $12 or so for adults.

is the sushi also a part of the buffet?

Yes

How much is it per adult

About $11 and well worth it.

Do you deliver?

No they don't have delivery, but as a person who travels the country for work, I can honestly say they're the best buffet chain I've ever been to. And I've been to more than 1 location and they're all great 🙂

Why serve the raw or very old often the hard broccoli or the spaghetti a disgusting. Very bad food

Is that the workers do not follow the instructions

How much per person with a drink?

Weekdays, it's $9 while it's & $12 on weekends

How much does it cost for kids inder 10 and adults today ?

I would call them and ask them directly as I believe it depends on the day and time of day.

The service was absolutely phenomenal. Worthy of 5 stars. The food was sub par at best. The breading for the General Tao's chicken was soggy and mushy; the chicken in the bacon wrapped chicken was tasteless and the bacon undercooked; and everything was stale and leftover. Being new to the city we use ratings to determine where to go. Lin's had the best ratings for Chinese at a 4.2. Makes me not want to try ANY of the other locations!

I don't know if the service it's like today but I was lazy, I understand it was 2 hrs before closing but the waitress was more worry to clean here area than give us a good service. We had to ask for almost everything, drinks, napkins... Also, I don't understand why they were serving the drinks and every time we ask for refills she brings a new glass... Is there a rule of that in Texas? Idk. I mean, she gives more work to the dish washer, don't you think? Oh well.The taste of the food it's not so tasty like I remember it was. I taste too commercial... I didn't tried the one they make it in the grill in the back, that might be good, idk.

Big disappointment. Definitely can’t go by the pictures here. Sushi didn’t look like anything in the pictures. Looked someone was learning how to make then for the first time. Just mushed rice didn’t have any fish. Egg rolls was juicy. Grease just poured out when you but into it. The rest if the food and a funny taste. I know I know It’s all because of covid.

OKAY- before covid-19 DURING COVID 19- NOTTTTT SO GOOD. Food seemd like its old. The lucky cookies for sure they are super old because i couldn't even bite one of them. Zero spicy food which i really like. And no grill. Only 2 lines open [food]

The worse Buffet food I've had in El Paso. Everything was dry especially the salmon it was so dry that it was hard as a rock. All their chicken dishes over cooked and dry, the little seafood they had over cooked and dry. Our waitress was excellent, very attentive and had out drinks filled at all times. The cashier/hostess rude as rude can be.

One of the things that I liked about this restaurant was that they actually keep all the food hot by using steam tables instead of warming tables. Everything that we had to eat was fresh and the only thing that we tried that was tough were the ribs, all the other dishes the proteins were very tender and flavorful. I did have dessert because I like tapioca but the consistency was too runny, it should have been thicker, the flavor of it however was very good. The sweet and sour sauce was also a bit on the thin side but it also had very good flavor. Will definitely eat here again.

Considering it was the only buffet opened at the time, it was okay. Food tasted stale, like it was in the freezer since the State shut down in March, this was May.

This place is not what it appears to be on the outside. Very poor quality restaurant. My sesame chicken from the buffet line was cold and not fresh. The price at $15 with drink is way overpriced and not worth it. And the selection is very poor. Not many varieties of chicken. This is not a full scale high quality Chinese buffet. Across the street to the North Hong Kong Buffet has actual Chinese people working there so you know it's better.Please don't forget to support your reviewers and hit your like button at the bottom of this review for my review.

One of the nicest Asian buffets I've visited. On thing that really stands out is how attentive the workers are to the cleanliness of the tables and keeping the drinks filled. Even when it's busy, their service is spot on 👍. Wish they had cake available for dessert but hey, can't have your cake and eat it too 😂

It was way better than expected... Some thoughts would be that you clearly do not have as many Items as tepenyaki so why pay there price. Your food is good lower price a bit and I see full house

PLEASE!! DO NOT GO right now. the way they are doing the buffet now during quarantine is absolutely insane. they give you a foam plate and cup plastic silverware and then when you go to get food they start telling you you can’t get food and trying to snatch your plate out of your hand. quarantine dining has changed but customer service should still be at its fines. this was my worst experience EVER at a place that used to be well respected in my books. the front cashier man had no problem to give me a refund as it seemed like he’d been doing that a lot recently.

You get what you pay for. I like the variety of sushi, salads and dessert. It's usually crowded but no big deal, the lines moves fast. The flan is something you don't want to leave without eating it, you will love it. Staff is usually friendly and make sure you have everything you need at your table.

This has a beautiful and clean environment. The waiters are very polite and will attend to your every need. As for the food, it's one of the best in the city. I have recently developed a taste for sushis and this is the place I go to satisfy my cravings. The sushi here favorably compares with those offered at expensive restaurants and sushi joints. Their low price per person and quality of service makes Lin's ideal for families and special occasions with groups. I drive several miles to this place and I think it's worth it.

Awful. The food was cold, our waitress didn't know English, the food tasted bad. Somehow, they found a way to ruin strawberries. There was nothing good about this restaurant. It was like 12 dollars for dinner, it'll be 15 if you want a soft drink. Even the fortune cookie was stale. My fortune said "many people receive advice, only the wise take it". My advice is, unless you want terrible, expensive food, stay away from this place.

If I could give this buffet 0 stars I would. Today 5-2-2020 we ordered take out due to covid-19 and when I get home to enjoy my meal I was shocked because my orders were completely incorrect!! Instead of giving me mushrooms I received orange chicken which doesn’t make sense how they could confuse them and I also asked for potstickers and they gave me red bean dumplings not the pork potstickers. This is ridiculous my sesame chicken was also missing so I do not recommend eating here and if you get take out be sure to check it right there and then before going home because I wouldn’t be shocked if your order is incorrect. To the individual who took my order you need to pay more attention to your job because you just made your business lose a customer that will NEVER return again including my family!

The food is delicious and l love the stakes there. And the evening a big selection of foods.The only thing is that you will never get other than Fountain drinks or tea after certain time in the evening. I don't think that that's right because I don't drink those things. And if I ask to have a drink with my meal; I got a shoes between those.The place is has beautiful decorations inside. Very clean.

I've been to other locations in this chain, but this one was a huge disappointment. The owner must tell the staff to park in front to give the illusion of popularity. The best part of the black pepper shrimp was the pepper...the egg rolls were under done. The ribs had to be slathered in BBQ sauce in order to be edible. The ice cream for dessert was good, but their idea of hot & sour soup looks like muddy dish water. Short version: There are much better selections just up the street at Teppanyaki for much the same price. I won't be surprised if this goes away. Hopefully, soon.

Loved this place! A great variety of food and unlike other buffets the food was piping hot! We had excellent service and the grill was to die for. The quality was fantastic for buffet food. Even my almost 2 year old was in love and chowing down and everything! So glad I came here with my family and will definitely be swinging by more often. It's so good it is worth the hour bus ride for us to get there lol oh and amazing prices my baby girl was free. 😍
