Lin's Grand Buffet, the southside's new mecca of all things Asian cuisine, opened Thursday.
At noon Friday, the line at the pay counter was a dozen deep and the dining room was flowing with customers eager to sample handmade sushi rolls, steam tables with platters of lo mein, orange chicken and crispy fried crab puffs oozing cream cheese.

Tucson Marketplace Blvd. — off Interstate 10 and South Park Avenue near Walmart and Costco — is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sundays-Thursdays, 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
