"wonderful Strawberry Matcha Latte , creamy, fresh strawberries, lightly sweet. The Taro Lavender Latte ICED LARGE was quite sweet at the default sugar amount but you could definitely taste the balance. We loved the toasted nuts on top of the *Chocolate Hazelnut Muffin , it added a savory flavor to the moist chocolate cake. The Red Bean Bread was surprisingly amazing. The top was brushed with butter reminding me of adzuki toast. it was soft and lightly sweet."
"My guests loved all the cakes - they were delicious. At first glance, the slices look small but in reality, they were just the right size."

"Omg! Everything But The Kitchen Sink is amazing!!! They got it right! "
"I got a bacon egg and cheese burrito combo. The "home fries" are chunks of processed potatoes and weren't fully cooked. Worse than that was the burrito. It comes with 5% bacon, 1% egg, and 94% grainy potato product. Again, not real potatoes. It was also half the size as advertised and didn't come with any salsa, which was also advertised. This place used to be so good a couple of years ago, but it is severely disappointing now. Do not waste your money here. You have been warned!!!"

It's a lot of food! Again, always, fresh and hot! Love veggies so this is my go to! Love that they put calabazitas in this dish! Everything else was delicious! "

The amount of food for the price was great as you can see the sesame chicken and rice filled up a whole bowl. Don't count on utensils, but there were plenty of condiments and sauces!!

"I loved it and I was so skeptical to try something new but it was amazing. The Panang was a little spicy and lots of chicken and comes with a side of rice. The Mango with Sticky Rice is so sweet. The Crispy Spring Roll werent too hard or too soft, fried to perfection and comes with a side of sauce. Perfecto. "

"I was very disappointed in the quality of my order. The portion was VERY small for the expensive price.

"Very good food. IThe O2. Hot & Sour Soup the A5. Fried or Steamed Dumpling (8) and the C14. Szechuan Chicken are delicious and come in generous portions. It is why I always come back."
"Unfortunately I only liked the plain fried rice. The C9. Sweet and Sour Chicken was bland and even though the pieces were huge it just didn't taste good to me. Also the chicken fried rice wasn't my favorite. Again a lot of food but the chicken in the fried rice did not taste good. I ended up eating the plain fried rice mostly. Compared to other Chinese food I've had this unfortunately is one of the worst."

"I ordered the Combo Pad Thai and took a chance on it since the menu does not say ANYTHING ANYWHERE about what the Combo Pad Thai is, and it doesn't let you choose what combo of protein you want. I was hoping it was chicken and shrimp, which it was, BUT the downside is they only give you two shrimp, and a whole lot of chicken. The proteins are very far out of balance with each other. The shrimp were good, but two shrimp on a combo pad thai is a joke. There is also no way to add extra shrimp which is also very poor on the part of the owner and/or DD. The Shrimp Shumai (6) were good, as was the sauce that came with them. The Crab Rangoon (6) are more savory than sweet, which I much prefer. They also have real chopped ingredients in them instead of just cream cheese and sugar. I chose mild spice level on the Pad Thai which was more than hot enough and also makes me wonder about the torture level of the other spice options, lol. Overall, the food was delicious and a decent value for the money. I will order again, but they need to clarify their menu and add upcharge options for people who want to add extras to their poor protein portions, specifically the shrimp. "
"A few months ago our team started THAI FRIDAY and explored many local shops to find the right fit. Lina's has become our place for all the right reasons- value, quality, reliability, freshness, good quantity / portions / proportions, consistency, and SO full of flavor. We order them every week to Freeman Toyota Service Department and we just can't say enough great things about Lina's!! "
