Service was friendly and very quick! Cumin lamb and Korean Fried Chicken were both delicious, as was the Ginger Crème Brûlée. We will definitely be back.

I arrived spontaneously last Friday telling my angel to have a parking space opened up right in front if I was to eat at Lin Jias. And sure enough, there was a space right in front waiting for me. Amazing since the restaurant was packed, with every table full and people standing waiting for orders or to be seated. I ordered the Generals chicken as it is Mary organic chicken and less spicey than the kFC A meat dish is about $21 Then I ordered the east broccoli stir fry which I was around $16. Plus a side of brown rice. The veggies were fresh. The service was excellent. It was a lot of food per dish that I had leftovers. The lady was so nice to top my boxed leftovers with more brown rice. I had a pleasant experience. The food digested blissfully.

I finally found my favorite Chinese restaurant in Oakland! I read the great reviews and it exceeded my expectations. I ordered for pick up. The inside was nice and would dine in another time. Great to see they do not use plastic containers, even for the soup they used a sturdy paper container. They used a plastic bag to wrap the soup and food so no spills. That's fine because you can re-use those bags. The prices are higher than your hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, but WELL WORTH IT. The portions are large, flavorful, and they use quality ingredients. Here is what I ordered and they were all fantastic. Fresh ingredients, not too salty. They state their dishes are not spicy and you can ask for more heat. I agree they are not spicy. -Wonton Soup - lovely broth and lots of wontons, and also shrimp! -Kung Pao Beef - tender beef and assorted vegetables. -Dragon & Phoenix - Diced chicken and shirmp and topped with nuts that give it a nice crunch -Spicy Canton Noodles - The noodles tasted home-made and thick. It is not very spicy for those who don't like heat. I am so glad I found you, Lin Jia!

Great quality Chinese food, very yummy! Love getting takeout from here. Pricier than your usual Chinese places but you are paying for good quality food I believe

We went to this neighborhood spot because they had a lot of gluten free options and we're always on the lookout for Chinese/Asian food restaurants that are mindful. The restaurant is very clean, great decor, servers are friendly and service is fast. We walked in and waited 15 minutes for a table to open on Sunday night. We ordered four dishes, the Imperial Fried Rice, Singapore Noodles, Korean Fried Chicken (Not GF) and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Every dish came out pretty quickly and tasted lighter than normal Chinese fare, even though everything was fired up in a wok (as you can see the kitchen). The Fried Rice was lacking a little seasoning, but every other dish was on point. Pricing is on par for entrees at restaurants like this in the East Bay. I'd give it a 4.5 or 9 on a 10 point scale, but we'll definitely be going back, especially if we're by the lake.

I haven't been here for a long time. The food was very good. I really liked the fact that they had okra. It is my favorite vegetable and hardly anyone has it. I really enjoyed everything else. The service was good and the restaurant was nice and clean. I will be back.

Enjoyed a nice meal here on Sunday night with the fam for Mother's Day. We didn't make reservations ahead of time but were seated right away. The team pointed us to a table away from the drafty door which I highly appreciated. We ordered the scallops with pea sprouts, cumin lamb, fish and rice. Everything came out quickly and tasted fresh and delicious! Service was attentive and friendly. Lots of regulars came in for takeout. The creme brûlée dessert was so good, especially with the carmelized ginger. Great spot and would definitely come back regularly!

I ordered the wonton soup to go and it was so comforting and delicious!! I had a long day and this really hit the spot. The wontons are flavorful and soft- and all the veggies are cooked to perfection. Also has a good veggie to wonton ratio. I added some chili crisp to mine and it was toooooo good. I definitely will be picking this up for dinner again. Also --the staff was really nice!! I had my hands full because I picked this up on my way back from Trader Joe's and the server opened the door for me so I could walk through without a struggle. I really appreciated it. Kindness goes a long way :)

Back again, I have to say this place still deserves a five star rating. The menu changes periodically, and the dishes are always such an amazing array of flavors, textures and aromas. This was a birthday lunch with a friend and we dug deep and ordered - almost everything, that looked good. We had Hakka Fresh Rolls, Won Ton Soup with shrimp, Papaya Salad, Clear Noodles with Shrimp, and Changsha Beef. This was an amazing meal and the only thing preventing us from ordering or eating more was our full bellies. Everything was fresh, colorful and incredibly flavorful. This place is my go to when I want something that feels good to the body and the soul!

Absolutely hands down the best noodle dish in the Bay Area! The dish- Spicy Canton Noodles. I have extolled this dish before, but I need to add that over the years, this dish has remained consistently excellent. I will travel miles to get it. Lin Jai is a contemporary twist on Chinese cuisine and very creative. Service is always friendly and efficient. Usually, I get it with shrimp, but this time, I tried it with pork... just as good. The noodles are large, 'beefy', delicious, and seared perfectly, with a slight char. The other ingredients just add substance and further d flavor to the dish, including the vegetables. It's hard to adequately describe this dish as it is complex. It just does meld so well together. The spicy level is moderate, and I typically request extra spice. It remains an amazing dish. Try it!
