“ Here's an improved version of your Google review for Lin and Daughters: --- Lin and Daughters is an absolute gem! I tried the cumin beef dumplings and the cucumber salad, and both were exceptional. The cumin beef dumplings were flavorful and definitely something I would order again. However, the surprising star was the cucumber salad—so fresh, well-seasoned, and the perfect bite on a hot summer day. The vanilla matcha boba was also a delightful treat, just the right amount of sweetness, creamy, and with fresh boba balls. This spot is perfect for a quick bite in the area. You can tell everything is made with love in-house, and the staff was super kind! ”
“ I've ordered from them at least 10 times now and the food is absolutely delicious. they do a fabulous take on Dan Dan Noodles, a little crunchier than I'm used to, but it REALLY works. And the Scallion Pancake Beef Rolls make a perfect complement. And all of the noodle soups and dumplings are wonderful too, as are the dipping sauces. (They do have a couple of tables and a counter, but for me this has been a take-out / delivery place so far. It seems like a fine little room, though.) ”
“ After an arduous journey back to the Big Apple, I needed sustenance. Perusing through DoorDash, I spied Lin & Daughters and ordered Brother Lin’s Beef Noodle Soup. It was delicious. The packaging was elegant with a larger bowl with the broth at the bottom and the glistening silky noodles in another bowl on top covered with Bok Choy. When assembled, the soup with the noodles they stayed silky with a slight chew and the vegetable was toothsome. I felt warmth and satiated. ”
“ My boyfriend and I have been obsessed with Lins since discovering it last year. However today I am prompted to finally leave a review because they added a few healthier / lighter options just in time for summer (otherwise I always get noodles and dumplings which are exquisite.) I need to recommend reading every one of their menu options to understand the depth and richness of the recipes’ family legacies.They also bottle and sell their own sauces too so you can order extra for cooking at home. I sometimes wish they had dessert options but it’s for the best they don’t otherwise I would just normalize adding the entire dessert menu to my regular order. ”
“ I basically never leave reviews but I am so happy about stumbling in here tonight that I want everyone to know about it so the place has lots of customers and I can keep going back. My usual go-to dinner spot in the Village was full and I didn't know what to do; my friend said he'd passed this dumpling joint earlier and thought it looked good; we decided to try something new & go to Lin & Daughters. We were able to get in, order, and sit down with no wait. We both proceeded to freak out over how good our scallion pancakes with beef brisket & dipping broth (!!!!) were. And affordable! And with great service! My friend also really enjoyed his chili oil wontons & sake out of a juice box. I can't wait to drag more folks back here so I can try the cheesy scallion pancake (!!!!!!!) and the curry chicken dumplings. Thank you L&D! ”
“ Wonderful food and great staff. I definitely recommend the beef noodles and the beef dumplings with cumin. Both hit the spot at their lovely spot in the West Village Also, go Big Green! ”
“ Heart warming chicken noodle soup. Lots of real meat, and greens. Piping hot. Small establishment, it feels friendly. I really enjoyed it. If I may... the seasoning was quite high. (A preference, not something wrong) ”
“ This is the utmost adorable find in west village! I love the vibe so much, chilled, cozy, beautiful! They have the most beautifully designed wall menu! And their wall arts are gorgeous. I’m feeling the Asian female empowerment through and through. Oh, the food? Absolutely delicious!! I devoured the dan dan noodles in minutes. It’s mixed with peanut sauce and so tender, smooth with a touch of crunch of the meat. This place is such a gem!! ”
