The Java Garden - Waterloo

This is literally one of the best Chinese food places in KW area, went there last week for take-out. The food was more like a fusion style Chinese food, yummy and delectable! The place was also clean and tidy, the owner was welcoming. Overall really good experience, will definitely come back again.

Found out there was a new owner so i just went to try it for lunch. The food is alot better. There was meat and vegetables this time to the point that it fully covered the rice. If the new owner keeps cooking like this i will be a frequent customer forsure

The Chinese food at this restaurant is fantastic and affordably priced. The lunch special may not be worth it unless you are very hungry, as it includes only a few pieces of meat and a lot of rice. The dishes all tasted very fresh and the staff were incredibly friendly and nice. The dumplings were particularly outstanding.

I get take out from here at least once a month and have always enjoyed the food. I find many of the other Chinese places around the city have bland, tasteless food, but at Lin's everything has lots of flavour. The food is fresh and the prices good. They're always super friendly and helpful. They are right across the street from a high school and the place is always packed with students at lunch. If teenagers keep coming back then you know it's got to be good!

The owners of this restaurant are extremely friendly. I visited in 2018 and returned in 2022. The food is still delicious and the staff is just as great. What more could you ask for from a neighborhood spot?
