Lin Garden Ii - Inverness

Does not rate with our buffet back home in Indiana. But a good experience.

They advertise Chow Mein which is literally Chinese for fried noodles. 炒面 Chǎomiàn. However they make it without any noodles! Instead they use loads of bean sprouts and vegetables and a mediocre amount of pork. I called and politely let them know but they just argued with me that only Lo Mein has noodles. I pointed out that Lo Mein uses a thin and wet noodle with loads of vegetables and liquid, whilst Chow Mein has much thicker golden noodles, far less sauce and vegetables and more protein. Sadly they wouldn't listen. I mentioned I am a cook and lived in Hong Kong, knew what I was talking about, but hey ho she felt I was completely wrong. It's not the first time I've had issues with this restaurant not understanding Chinese food correctly. My replacement meal was Peanut Butter Chicken, but the cook forget to put the peanut butter sauce with it! Sigh.

I do many surveys and having said that. The food is delicious, hot and plenty. They give you more than enough choices to choose from and if you are missing something from anything that is here take a second helping of what you are offered. We are from Wisconsin and have traveled vastly from the East to the West, North to the South and out of the country. The service is spot on being very attentive with drinks, taking away used plates than bringing your bill to you. I don’t need to say anything is wrong we are not like that and there wasn’t. Bon Appetite .

There are children's toys in the entryway, it looks unprofessional. Some patrons seemed to be unhappy with an employee's child that runs through the restaurant as well.

Nice, clean buffet. Eating was good hot. Appropriate price with a variety of options.
