Review of Lins House

I have been to Lin House quite a few times. I come here when I go to Radford for some business I do. Usually go to Radford 2 times a week and I will say once every other week I come here. The food is really not that special but its good and its flavourful. Their lo mien noodles are the best I've had. You can just expect a basic, tasty americanised chinese meal. Sometimes my son comes along with me on my trips and he looks forward to coming here. I don't believe the other review that said someone got food poisoning. The owner here is an interesting guy he sits on a computer he has set up beside the counter, he also sometimes sits outside and smokes. He's friendly and very awkward. I remember my last visit I have to admit I was quite uncomfortable. I was wearing my tie and when I walked out, he was sitting there smoking. He said excuse me and reached out to shake my hand. I shook his hand and he just grabbed my tie without even asking and said it was nice. Then he proceeded to ask me several times where he could buy good fruit. He also mentioned some things I won't write here. Awkward guy. He might try to talk to you a lot, if he does just politely walk away and say your busy or something. Otherwise he gives good service and the restaurant is basic and serves basic, tasty dishes. Worth a shot and cheap as dirt! Seriously, they're very cheap.
