it gives me a lot of pain to write a review about this place...the service is really bad...the waiter is just gonna piss you off with the way he tries to push you to order within seconds of getting seated... whether you go long before the place shuts down or even later, it doesn't matter they seem to be always in a hurry. The food is extremely spicy and it cause stomach upset the next day. Moreover once I went their for a birthday treat, I was so annoyed with their service, I didn't add tip but later on I found out that the restaurant has added a tip amount from my card. I found that really outrageous, this is simply not done. If you provide good service , people will tip you. This place sucks big time, pardon me for the language!!

I ordered rice noodle soup today for lunch. It was the most disgusting soup I have ever eaten. The noodles were so overdone that they wouldn't even go on the spoon without dissolving. The beef was chewy, fattty and grissely. The only flavor to the soup was the salt. It was so salty it was thick! HORRIBLE! Then, I called and spoke with Don I believe. He said I was wrong, the soup is good and they have lots of customers. He was rude and yelled at me on the phone. Not to mention the soup was $12!!!! My co workers eat there bc it is very close to my work and they regularly complain about the food but it's close so sometimes that's the only food we have time to get. Never again though! I let several co-workers taste this "soup" and they're not going to be returning either. Mostly due to the rude phone call that I had on speaker. TERRIBLE FOOD, TERRIBLE MANAGER, TERRIBLE!

Howdy. Simply just planned to ask a quick problem. Now i'm fddefefagcbgdbcd

You produced some decent points there. I looked on the net to the problem and discovered many people goes together with along along with your web site. dbcefbdacfadbfee

But I can't access their website on my iPad so I guess I won't be ordering from them tonight or ever again for carry out/delivery. What a shame. It's 2014. Everything should be built for mobile.

In addition to the money spent on redo, some should be spent on a CHEF. Preferably Chinese. The food is just not good. I picked up lunch yesterday. Hadn't been there for over a year because I had to throw out the last meal I purchased there. Nothing has changed, food wise. Yuk.

I have been coming here since around 1995 or so and have always loved it. Apparently the daughter of the owners has taken over the running of the joint. BIG MISTAKE!! I was a student at UMKC and I have now worked here for 15 years. The daughter was recently married and her husband is great! He is always calm, polite and takes his time to make sure everything is ok with your order. Great guy. The daughter, on the other hand, obviously doesn't like her job. She is rude and cheap. Today I called and said, "I would like a carry-out". And she said, "ok, is that all"? I said, "well, i'd like some food with it". She said, "oh.... yes... what would you like"?? Upon picking up my order I asked for a couple chili sauces for my meal, she only added one. I asked for another and she said, "it's very expensive". WTF I just spent $10 on dumplings and soup for lunch!! I also tipped her a dollar on carry-out! I should mention again I have been coming here regularly for 20 years! The mom and dad are great people I miss seeing them behind the counter as they are there less and less. THE DAUGHTER NEEDS TO GO!!! She will ruin this place if she takes over for good. Never smiles, always rude and she hates her job. Mom and dad need to get her out of there before it's too late. They have spent too many years building up this awesome place just to have her mess it up!!!!

We ordered the top eight vegetarian dishes on the menu. Most were great, and full of chewy tofu and crisp veggies. The mopu tofu was not as sweet as at other restaurants, and the fried rice was pretty plain; we'll order something else next time. Delivery service was prompt.

Whenever our Chinese Friends come to visit us, they always ask if we can go to Kin Lin since it's the most authentic Chinese Food in Kansas City. We really like the update in your decor!

Typical American Chinese dishes throughout the menu, but if you look close you will see a few authentic dishes sprinkled in here and there.Relatively cheap, I assume that's because it's so close to campus.I can usually find something new and tasty to have here, since the menu is pretty extensive and I've had only a few rare "misses".Warning: the only dessert they have is ice cream, don't get it, it tastes like its been sitting in the freezer for years.

Just put in my first order ever and they somehow already knew my address! WTF!?....hope the foods good

I have been going to Kin Lin for about a year now. I have very dear friends that go there several times a week and have been going there for over 15 years. The owners of the restaurant work 15-16 hour days...literally. They have given their heart and soul to the restaurant which is demonstrated by the excellent and fresh food. All of the food is purchased fresh daily. It is prepared with great care and concern. I don't live in Kansas City but while visiting I eat there at least two-three times a month. The food has always been consistent. Knowing what good chinese food tastes like, I now found it hard to eat Chinese anywhere else. This food is by far above and beyond any other Chinese food I have ever eaten. I enjoy the way the vegetables and tofu is prepared. I normally am a very picky midwest eater but the way this food is prepared allows me to experiment. Kin Lin is also different than other Chinese restaurants because it is very clean. I do not find the typical greasy table and salt or soy shakers here. It is very clean and I highly recommend this restaurant. I just have to say to the others who posted very negative things, I'm not sure they were at the same restaurant.

This place is ran by fucking jews. They nickel and dime you for no reason. THis food should be free.

Hit-and-miss. I'm as equally sold by service as I am by the food, and the quality of the former is a coin toss.Our first visit was hosted by a polite and efficient server who made us feel like the only people in the place.The giddy anticipation of our subsequent visit was quickly deflated by a sloppy server harboring indeterminate motives. Despite the degree of certainty with which we placed our order, he volleyed his own suggestion. He was so convinced of his opinion, he even produced sketchy samples from the kitchen for us to try before we finalized our order. What are you pushing for, fella? "This meat's fixin' to turn..."

This place was outstanding in all food categories from the appetizers to main course! Family style very good!

The lady on the phone is very rude. She's short, never friendly, and never gives an estimated time. The delivery driver (who is oddly Latino) randomly showed up to my old apartment one night when I wasn't home and creeped out my roommate. Neither one of us had ordered any food that night. I stopped ordering for a few years in the hopes he would get fired or quit. Sadly, no luck. Now when I do order, my food takes more than an hour to get to my new apartment (I live in midtown) and my order is never correct. Creepy dude noticed I moved and even commented on it. When I told him it bothered me that he showed up uninvited to my home and that's why I had not ordered in a while, he laughed it off as if I were joking. He's lucky we didn't call the cops that night. My order is usually simple as I am a creature of habbit, but either the drinks aren't diet or the rice had nuts and/or shrimp in it when I ask to exclude them. While I'm not allergic to either shrimp or cashews, if someone else is, kin Lin WILL KILL YOU

My friends and I stopped by here pretty late in the evening on the 4th of July. While every other restaurant was closed, Kin Lin was happily open for take-out orders! The owner was precious. We had a lot of fun talking to him while waiting for our carry out.The ordered the smaller portion of fried rice with shrimp and chicken. The box of food i received was enough for 3 meals! I can't imagine how big the large size would be.I cant wait to come back and try them for take-out meal.

ust stopped by to pick up some to go lo mein , veggie and chicken. When i got home and opened the containers i found 2 slivers of chicken in one box with 5 pound of noodles (cost about .75 to prepare) and in the other 1 broccoli 2 carrots and 2 snow peas. I immediately called and got the owner who originally served me and OH BOY!!!did i made a mistake to call and complain, not only she told me off by saying " next time ask more veggies or chicken and i charged more" (trying my fake Chinese accent) or "return food if no happy".. WOAAAAAA, that's customer service for you .and you know whats funny? They have a sign posted above the to go area saying"call this number if you have a complaint about the food ask for Jeff". They wont see me again 18 bucks for 5 pound of noodle a few sliver of protein and veggie , no thank you. And by the way I want my Chinese food cook by Chinese not by cheap foreign labor. Importunately students are stuck with below pars food . Be aware UMKC students , this place is not worth spending your or your parents money.

Contact any UMKC student with a Graphic Design background and pay them $250 to set you up a brand new DECENT, WORKING website.

The food is consistantly good, and the staff go out of their way to make each visit a pleasure, with fast and friendly service,

Wonton soup has fresh veggies in it!!! Awesome, thank you.

by far the best service and best food in kansas cirty, i have watched them grow from a tiny mom and pop shop into a beautiful restaurant. still the best curry chicken ever (and it has french fires in it!?), the best spicy crispy chicken, and the best lo mein in the midwest!!

I love KINLIN , best food in town . Love Happy, called in and she knew my order!!!!! Awesome !

I just came from Kin Lin.Today was the first time I tried it. Such TERRIBLE service. The female server asked if we needed more time then she never came back. Each time we tried to ask her a question after that she was rude to us. A Middle Eastern male server noticed we were waiting to have our order taken. He came over to take our order. I ordered Chicken With Vegetables. The man said there were better dishes with the same price. He said "Why don't you try our Chicken With Black Bean and if you don't like it I'll bring you the Chicken With Vegetables." I reluctantly agreed. He brought the dish. It was too spicy. He seemed annoyed that I didn't like it. He took it back to the kitchen and returned with the same dish that had been recooked. It still had too much spice. Again he was annoyed. Finally he brought me what I had originally ordered. I also asked him if they had a diet caffiene free drink. He said they had diet Pepsi but nothing without caffiene. My husband and I had to wait forever to get my soda and his silverware. The male server finallly brought me what he said was a "sugar-free" Sierra Mist. It was not sugar-free. It was caffiene free. As we were leaving the woman at the counter asked how everything was. When I explained what had happened she wanted to argue with me. She told me all their black bean sauce was spicy. I tried to tell her I hadn't tried to order it in the first place. I also explained the diet soda issue. She said they had no diet soda. I told her they had diet Dr. Pepper right next to her in the cooler. She acted surprised and annoyed. While I was explaining to her what happened the male server walked over and tried to give us a coupon card that needs a stamp each time you come back. After listening to what I was saying to the woman he started saying how he had cooked a new dish for me. After not getting what I ordered to drink or eat, the rude treatment and not being able to eat my meal with my husband, I handed the coupon card back to the woman and promptly walked out. I will not be back.

Tonight I noticed I could place an order for delivery on http://chinesemenu.com which was linked from the Kin Lin website. 90 mins later I called to make sure the food was still on its way and the guy told me the driver was on his way. 45 mins later the food still hadn't arrived so I called back and another person told me he hadn't received any online orders tonight . If you opt for delivery definitely don't order online because they definitely don't check it!

The woman at the counter is very rude and does not respond properly. It makes us feel very bad. If someone reads this, please warn her to be proper at the counter. Many of my friends have stopped coming to KNI LIN just because of her negligent behaviour. Please take care of it as soon as possible.Thanks.

I feel so sad about moving away from KinLin.:-(
