The word on Lin's Cafe II Asian Cuisine
Here's the word going around
I haven't fought the storm for a table here yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.
Anthony, The Leander Local · Last checked August 2026
By most accounts a packed parking lot on a stormy Saturday tells you everything before the food lands, and reviewers say the food backs it up: super fresh, hot, flavorful, vegetables that still snap, with egg drop soup, fried potstickers, BBQ pork lo mein and lemon chicken coming out of a clean kitchen in a new, bright room. The staff get called quick to clear and clean, professional and kid-friendly, the kind of service that makes a strip-mall Chinese spot feel cared for.
It's not flawless: a bland lo mein and a hot-and-sour soup that was neither hot nor sour show up in the reviews, and one takeout bag came with no utensils. But dine in, where freshness and service are firing, and people call it a genuinely good neighborhood table. Bonus, the reviews note, all chicken and shrimp dishes are gluten free, just ask.
A lot too full to park on a rainy night is the best review there is. I want to see what the fuss is.
The Order
Reviewers point to the BBQ pork lo mein, fried potstickers, and lemon chicken, dining in where it's freshest.
⚠ Gotcha
Dine in over takeout, and check the bag for utensils, by several accounts. Some to-go orders go out without any. GF folks: chicken and shrimp dishes are gluten free, just ask.
That's the word on this one.
