Chinese ~ Caribbean ~ Hakka Cuisine
I love this place. I go here at least once a week for the all day combo while at work, and my coworkers and I are hooked. Very good quality and price. Best to call in the order 20 min early because everything is made fresh to order. When I looked at the menu photo online I assumed the price and photo was from like 2012. The woman at the front taking the orders (and cooking?) is incredibly pleasant, not sure if she is the owner or not. The local community seem to love her, and she speaks to people in fluent Spanish sometimes which I thought was pretty interesting.
Tried a few times now, great value for the portions, tasty and fresh food. Had the hot garlic shrimp with vegetables special combo tonight.
Some of the best Chinese/Hakka takeout food I've ever had. An amazing price, and an amazing set of owners. I've been here numerous times, and the food never fails to disappoint. There are all day combos for $9.99 which come with your choice of a pop, spring roll, or soup. You can substitute white rice with chow mein, fried rice, or steamed veggies for a bit more (which I'd highly recommend doing). Cash is 10% off!! From the chicken wonton soup, bombay chicken, chilli chicken, fried rice, steamed veggies, honey garlic chicken, manchurian chicken, everything is amazing (I'd skip the chicken with gravy and go dry because it's a bit too salty). The portion sizes are huge and the prices are just as reasonable. Please come here and support this business if you're in the area.
Just picked up food from here tonight, the person working was very friendly and polite the food was absolutely amazing! Rice was delicious and I requested just plain soy sauce noodles no veggies or meat for my kids and she did them perfectly portion sizes are huge! We've been looking for Chinese food in this area for awhile and this place is it will definitely be returning!!
Pipping hot food, very large potions, and overall excellent tasting Chinese Hakka cuisine. The place is very clean and bright looking, you can even look into the kitchen at the food is being prepped. The potions are very big even for someone who eats a lot. The food was hot and very tasty, I like how they didn't make the Chili Chicken and Hot Sour Soup too spicy and gave hot sauce on the side. For the price, portion size and taste, this is probably the best Hakka restaurant in the area.
Sweetest staff ever, follows any special requests, amazing food, great prices and clean place!!! A lot of restaurants forget to be nice to their customers, but I was happily greeted with a smile :) Please swing by and support their business. 11/10 recommend! ♥️
Ordered on Door Dash and was impressed! Great prices for large portions. I ordered crispy chicken w rice and it was perfectly prepared, super flavourful w that nice wok flavour to the rice - and only $10 for a box jam packed! I also ordered Singapore noodles which were good. Both came w a free spring roll. The shrimp wontons were just okay. Overall, it really hit the spot and the wallet was pleased.
Service-always 10/10. Ana is personable and very accommodating . She speaks several languages including fluent Spanish. Food- made fresh to order( allow minimum 10-15 minutes), generous portions. We order a few times a month and they never disappoint. The $9.99 daily specials are a fabulous deal, huge entree with choice of soup, spring roll or pop! My top faves are crispy ginger w/rice, general tsao, fried chicken on rice, jerk chicken w/w/rice, sweet n sour pork has a great in house sauce not from a jar! Try their snacks to go or their fried shrimp or chicken wontons as an app! Not Once has their food been over salted over sauced or ever oily like some other Places.. Ambiance- in outdoor strip plaza. Very clean, but small as they cater primarily to take out/ app delivery. There are two small tables for up to 4 people but just be prepared to know this isn’t a full service sit down. No alcohol beverages. Support local- you will not Be disappointed.
The owners are very nice . Prices are actually crazy cheap . I eat here all the time . 10$ all day specials are great for a lazy days dinner
One of the best Chinese food Ive ever had! Amazing staff! Food
Probably the best chili shrimp and Manchurian chicken Ive ever had. Amazing service, friendly staff and the value is hard to beat. Give this place a try and you will be coming back every week.
Lots of options for $10 all day combos
love their all day combos on skip (such low prices) and the portions are HUGE!
Ordered on Doordash, had to say the other reviewers arent kidding unbelievable amount of food for the price. Will 100% order again!
Really good, and huge portions!
Must try amazing people good food for good price
Tried the daily special one night and came back for the chicken fried rice the morning after due to curiosity of how other dishes taste. I have to say that the food definitely met my expectations. The atmosphere of the location adds to the experience as well. Upon every visit, you will be greeted with so much kindness from the employees.
Small shop , Lin is super nice and friendly. We were in the area looking to grab some Chinese food , this place had the best ratings so we decided to give them a try. And we were not disappointed. They have a lot of options and great prices , they also have all day combos , you do get a discount if you pay cash. Overall a great place and big portions. Must try
Lin Joy is a local joint that you can rely on for the same taste and cool service. The food is street eats that can satisfy the tummy. The space is nothing special but I havent been disappointed yet.
Very good food
Ive been obsessed with the food, and the affordable pricing. I normally order from Skip. Food comes quickly, and is always hot and containers are packed. However, Ive noticed within the last couple of months that quality has gone down. Rice is not good the next day, the chicken/fish is tough, and the fried chicken wontons have a weird fishy aftertaste. This was not the case earlier this year when I started ordering from here. I would love to continue supporting this restaurant, but I might not order from here for a while if the quality of food is going down. Which is a shame, considering how generous the portions are in comparison to the reasonable pricing. Maybe Ive just gotten stale batches, but I do genuinely encourage people to try this place!
Best Chinese food in the area.
Amazing food, amazing service; amazing prices! Can t recommend this place enough
Did you guys change the chef? The first time I had it, it was amazing and I was bragging to ppl about it. Tried it again and it was not good at all. Soggy chicken, weird after taste..looked and tasted different. Decided to try the pakora also and that was a mistake. Hopefully the food can return to how it was.
Great service and fries!
Really Good Food. Quality,Good portions and a fair price. Very friendly, clean establishment.The rice alongside the chicken are fantastic looking forward to trying more of there dishes.. Glad theyre in our area Darrell and Mellisa
Food is pretty good. The lady that takes/hands out orders is very nice. They are busy, which is great for any restaurant, especially a fairly new one. The problem is wait time. I walked in and waited 45 minutes(was told it would be about 20 minutes), to get an order of steamed rice and General Tao Chicken. Another lady ahead of me waited almost 1 hour for fried rice and chicken. Waaaaaaaaay to long to keep customers waiting. All the lady could say was so sorry, too long, Im sorry...well thats not good enough. They obviously cant keep up with their orders (a lot of pickup orders) and need more staff on duty. At this rate, people will stop ordering from them and go elsewhere. Smarten up Lins Joy!
Amazing food and good affordable prices, honestly the best place to get food in the area. I recommend getting the Honey garlic chicken with fried rice its a 10/10. Food
The administrator of the place was very friendly and helpful, the food is exquisite, I feel like Im in my country, they speak Spanish, the place is very clean, good prices and very good portion sizes of the food.
A very delicious meal with very good sized portions for the price, you can feel the love for what they do in each dish and the girls attention is great, she remembers the taste and order of each client very well and cares why Have a good experience in their restaurant, I have tried almost all of their menu and I cant decide which is their best dish, go with them, they will make you happy!
Hidden gem! All day combos are great. Huge portions and tastes good.
YES OVERALL AMAZING
One plate is a LOT of food, the fried rice, sweet and sour chicken were perfect and cheap.
I need to know these people whole family. I wanna come here when I m grey n old! My kids kids have to know of this place! Always look forward to being greeted by the sweet lady up front a never fails when it comes to her let alone the food! always go there for chili chicken a fried rice! I have never wrote a review on google before until now! really! - Sm
The best Chinese food I had in Toronto! The owner is very friendly and the food is top notch. Thank you for your service!
Clean sitting area, good visible menu of combos. I ordered a chili chicken on white rice combo with drink, $11, good portion. Excellent restaurant
the chilli chicken the best
Honestly hands down one of the best chinese food by far in the GTA. These people are the most friendliest, sweetest people I know. Their food is worth every chance. Even left overs the next day is so good and still fresh. You wont be disappointed
Absolutely delicious and a great price with big portions. I ordered the General Tao Chicken, Pepper Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork and Pork Fired Rice.
Owner is very friendly, good food and reasonable prices
Amazing people and service, check Big portions, check Good prices, check Amazing restaurant, check Awesome tasty food, also check Thank you so much Lins Joy. You guys are absolutely amazing , keep up the wonderful work :)
This is our new GO TO Chinese restaurant for tray orders or if you are simply craving for a chinese hot meal. We tried their Pepper Beef Steak, Pepper Fish, Fish Fillet, Spicy Calamari and all of it were good. Whenever theres a potluck party we order in advance and we are always happy to the food served during pick up. What makes it our favorite is the outstanding service of the lady. She remembers our orders well and how we like it. I Definitely recommend this place.
Simply amazing. I never knew a restaurant that is generous in quantity and affordable still existed in 2024, but now I know. Thank you for fresh and affordable takeout. You guys are awesome
Chicken on top fried rice
Just ordered from UberEats, first time trying Lins. The food was really tasty and delicious, definitely will be a regular customer.
I ordered their chili chicken with fried rice. The combo was good, big portion and the taste was amazing. Worth every penny do give them a try.
Ordered our food from DoorDash. All of them were delicious and affordable, especially nowadays - everything doubled its prices but don t taste good.
The food does not taste good at all. Better options available nearby.
I really like this Hakka place! It tastes homemade and seems to be made on the spot, providing fresh hot and tasty food. The Hakka food here leans more towards Chinese food than other Hakka places Ive tried, but I like the food a lot nonetheless. Ive ordered the chicken fried rice, chicken pakora (I would describe it moreso like a fried chicken ball rather than pakora) and the General Tao chicken with steamed rice. The food also doesnt taste overly greasy or unhealthy so you can eat it without feeling sick. The owner(s) great with a smile on their face and seems happy to serve all that comes in. Will be back again soon for another meal, a nice place to eat in the neighbourhood with affordable prices.
I went there to get some Chicken fried rice along with Chicken Balls. I have to say that it was some delicious food especially the price. Anna is also a very kind soul always greets you with a smile and welcomes you
Tasty dishes, loaded with lots of veggies and meat, made fresh to order! Great value, their daily specials are a steal, portions are generous. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well. Staff is very friendly.
great place to eat and amazing prices
The staff is very generous, and the food is amazing.
OMG first time ordering and reviews were right fresh, tasty and yummy. I had chicken and fried rice, veg roll and shrimp wonton soup. Food made with love was blown away I even called them to let them know how good lol definitely recommend and am a new customer for sure. Thank You Marco
Ordered from here on Uber eats. I ordered 2 combos general Tao chicken and bombay chicken and chicken wontons. Food was very good had flavour. Noodles were kinda dry and had very little taste. I used the sweet and sour sauce for my noodles. I will order again.!!
Ordered their chicken fried rice. Great tasting comfort food and very good price for the amount they give. Felt like they went above and beyond. Would buy from them again!
Food is really tasty, good amount of portion for the price! Will buy again :)
Their food is soooo good. I love this place Food
I ordered Chili Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice and Bombay chicken. All were big portions and tasty! Still hot after delivery. Chili chicken was my fav and it came with steam rice. I had another place for chili chicken but it was a bit far away. Lins is much closer to me so I think Ive found my new go to spot for Chili Chicken!
Pleasant and kind!! First time there and the food was amazingly delicious and hot!
this is the best hakka style chinese food i have ever had in my life. I ordered it and when it came it was so piping hot and fresh. 100000/10 so much flavour and affordable prices.
