Lim's Cafe

I don't think I've ever had better, more authentic Chinese food before! This place has been in the same family since 1933, and they clearly know what they're doing. The place doesn't look like it's seen a renovation since the 50s. It's also huge! With a great diner counter and amazing period booths! The whole atmosphere is amazing! If I lived here, this would be my hang out, for sure. I had the "Special" Chow Mien w/ Pork and it was about the best thing I've ever put in my mouth! It was hot and piled high and, with some tea alongside, was a perfect meal. The old Asian man behind the counter (unsure if he was part of the family, but thinking yes) was fussy and grouchy to everyone, which was rather hilarious. Anyway, this place is such an incredible period gem of a diner, but the amazing food will have you coming back again and again!! WELL DONE, INDEED! NEVER CHANGE!!! HIGHLY, STRATOSPHERICALLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

There's not enough stars, I give Lim's a 10. I've never had Chinese Scrambled eggs before, and now I'm not sure I'll ever have any other way again. My wife had the biscuits and gravy, also phenomenal. Rae and Dawn were amazing, they made sure we were well taken care of. Now that we know our new breakfast Cafe, we have to try lunch and dinner. I highly recommend you do as well.

Step back in time and enjoy comfort food with a Chinese name. Food is not good not bad … Interesting place and worth a visit if you’re getting your car smogged. Also interesting is the pawn shop next door. Good way to waste an hour !

Fries were good. The burger was made from steak. I didn't particularly enjoy it. Had a bit of a gamey taste. The lady behind the counter was nice and working pretty hard. I tipped her about the same price as my meal. The restaurant was older, muted colors and dated to a time before me. The mens restroom needs some TLC. I'd say check them out if your near by.

The food was aweful. Sub par and how do you server chicken gizzards as orange 🐔? Really chicken meat isnt made with 👀👃👂. Ok sorry my friend invited me there!

Every time I make the 3 hour drive to see my Grandpa in Redding, I almost look forward to Lim’s as much as I look forward to seeing him. Their vegetable chow mein is stellar. Kerri makes an amazing Mai Thai (it’s her signature drink) and expect the best Bloody Mary from Dawn (her signature drink). The setting has a familial feeling to it, which would explain why it takes me forever to leave; very welcoming. Only gripe on my end is that I wish there was vegetarian/vegan options for their breakfast, or at least avocado toast. Other than that, I love this place!

* OUTSTANDING * The staff are very helpful. My friend likes Corona Beer. So the waitress brings his beer in a plastic water pitcher with his Corona and full of ice !!!! Food was marvelous and they all loved my SERVICE DOG

Spent the day in Redding Calif.had nice lunch there. Felt like 1960's
