Lin's International Buffet

This place is one of the nicer buffets in the 1604/Alamo Ranch area. They have a good selection of sushi, but this is a buffet, so we need to temper our taste and quality expectations. If you are craving some sushi, this can be a quick fix. They have a small selection of buns, which I personally like (note: the seafood siomai not so much). The crawfish and steak (or maybe it was pot roast) were okay. I didn't get to try many of the other dishes since I just wanted the sushi side. I will definitely come back.

The food quality is what you would expect from a buffet but the service was great. Price was better than what I expected for dinner, so we will probably go back. Even with the tip we left it was cheaper than most of the restaurants we would normally eat at. It was pretty clean considering we went at the peak of dinner on a Saturday. Normally I don't like buffets because people let their kids run around unsupervised and I've seen kids stick their hands in the food. This time I didn't see that at all. The only thing I would suggest they work on are the host/hostesses. They really need a better attitude.

If you're looking for a quiet dinner, this is not your place to go. However, if you want a wide selection of food clean but noisy environment, this buffet is an excellent choice. The sushi bar here is very good considering the price. And that it is a buffet style restaurant. They had salmon, tuna and other fish, As well as a great Mini rolls with already cooked things like imitation, crab meat. The seaweed salad was excellent, as was the quarantine of items for selection for sushi or nigari rolls. You can also get a bowl of stir-fried items that you pick out by choosing your custom ingredients. As well as a steak cooked on your demand.

I've been to the location on IH35, and to my surprise it was nearly identical. Food was great, with a large variety as expected. Everything was hot and fresh, staff had a smile on their face, and the bathroom was clean. Honestly, I had a great experience overall, and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a lot of good food at a great value.

Visited Lin's for lunch. For 3 people, I paid $63 for buffet, drinks and gratuity. We were sat immediately so there was no wait time. The food was great! Surprised at how good the sushi was as most buffets have terrible sushi. All the food we had was fresh and well cooked. My child had pizza and fries but she complained the pizza was dry and the fries were stale which is why I rated the food 4 stars. Everything else we had was excellent! Don't know who chooses their music but they were doing a good job! Atmosphere was good and felt comfortable. Servers were nice and kept the drinks flowing. Would definitely recommend.

One of the better Asian buffets in town. The place is clean and well maintained, and the wait staff are quick to respond and answer questions. Entrees we're plentiful - ranging from savory to sweet, surf (seafood) & turf ( beef, chicken, pork, sausages, etc) ...they had large salt+pepper shrimp, shimp & mussels on ice, steamed buns, soup, noodles, fried rice, sushi 🍣 island with someone making more as you eat. Fresh fruits, pudding, cakes, cookies, & ice cream; not to mention good music playing ( not too loud so you can have a conversation between bites 😁). Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
