Lin’s International Buffet, Asian restaurant in Selma, US
Lin's International Buffet is an Asian buffet restaurant in Selma, Texas, offering dishes from Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and American cooking traditions. The food is laid out across multiple stations in a large dining room, and guests help themselves to whatever they want throughout the meal.
The restaurant opened in the early 2000s, a period when Asian buffet spots were spreading across Texas and other southern states. The format made Asian food familiar to a wide American audience that might not have tried it otherwise.
Lin's International Buffet brings together dishes from Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and American cooking at the same table, which makes it a popular spot for groups with different tastes. The open layout encourages people to go back several times and try a wide range of food in a single meal.
The restaurant sits along Interstate 35 North and is easy to reach by car, with a large parking lot directly on site. Weekends tend to draw bigger crowds, so arriving early or during off-peak hours makes for a more relaxed experience.
Alongside the self-service counters, the restaurant has live cooking stations where chefs prepare fresh sushi and grill meats to order in front of guests. This means that part of the meal is made fresh on the spot, which sets it apart from a standard serve-yourself setup.
