    Sister Lin's Chicken Noodle Soup and Scallion Pancake Rangoon Cheese Rolls
    Charlé W.

    Excellent bowl of chicken soup. I balked at the price, but the portion could be split into 2-3 servings depending on your appetite. Excellent service, really warm, intimate ambience with bar seating and tables for 2 that can be combined for larger parties. I also appreciated the condiments bar and the very clean restroom.

    A very consistent family restaurant. The food was just as amzing as when I tried their West Village location. This time I had the appetizers and entrees and was beyond pleased. The succulent dumplings (curry chicken) were so flavorful and paired very well with the sauce. The Rangoon cheese scallion pancake and brisket scallion pancake appetizer was phenomenal. Now to the entrees, my cousins and I got the beef noodle soup and the dan dan noodles. We licked the bowl clean. This spot is casual dining that offers food that I can see being in a fine dining spot. The quality of dishes I ate were truly satisfying and the affordability of it was a pleasant touch. What I love most of trying different cuisines is how similar the flavor can remind you of food you grew up with despite being from an entirely different culture. The brisket scallion pancake is that for me. Definitely will be returning!

    Super nice location in flatiron! Next to another great thai dessert restaurant thats across the court yard! Food was fresh and hot! I didn't like the chocolate lava unfortunately because it was just an $8 chocolate milk. Strawberry Matcha was yummy! The noodles and dumplings have great flavor and taste amazing with the seasoning and flavors all together! The restaurant had a variety of seating so definitely worth visiting if you are close by! The workers were kind and attentive too!

    I so wanted to try the Lanzhou inspired soup and after a long day of walking, this soup healed me. The broth was so rich and the prefect amount of spicy. The noodles were chewy and the meat was so tender. The meat was a bit fatty, but I love that kind of meat. Something about the combo of spicy warm broth, tender meat, and noodles coming together to create a perfect meal.

    Stumbled across this gem today on a walk so I planned a little DoorDash to give it a try. I think I would honestly request the dumplings with chili oil as my dying meal. Joking aside they were the perfect combination of flavor, not too spicy but fluffy perfection. So fresh. The beef soup was also one of my favorite things I've eaten. Perfect beefy flavor with fresh noodles. I am already planning my next order and will likely go in person next time so I can give more menu items a try. Don't wait. Give this place a try.

    Deciding to enjoy local fanfare in NYC on Lunar New Year's. Lin & Daughters was featuring a New Year's special of Golden Potato Dumplings for only $10.99 for a limited time served two ways: in house chili or in broth. I opted for the broth and was not disappointed. So tender , flavorful and comforting. As a side I went with the Rangoon cheese Scallion rolls. OMG - the most delectable curated scallion pancake I ever tasted . Do order this ! Very nice atmosphere inside , so welcoming . The service was excellent, I wanted a Ginger unsweetened iced tea and was accommodated with a Ginger sparkling water unsweetened - perfect complement to a hearty comfort food meal. I picked the perfect spot to venture to and will be revisiting with friends .

    Stopped by randomly while in the area and there was plenty of seating! We ordered a few things from the menu since we were hungry, and honestly everything was okay. Nothing truly stood out from our selections which included - signature dumplings - signature beef noodle soup - spicy cucumber salad - cream cheese scallion pancake The signature dumplings , beef noodle soup and cucumber salad were good, but lacked depth and tasted like any other place. the cream cheese scallion pancake was bland and doughy. This place wasn't bad overall, but just didn't hit the spot for me.

    Came across this place by complete chance and left satisfied! Inside is small but well lit and woodsy. Decorations for the holiday season and all year around strewn about. For its size, there's quite a selection of dishes to choose from: soups, noodles, dumplings and even boba! I ended up ordering a plate of peanut noodles for $10 and it was served pretty quickly. The noodles had a nice chew, and the overall flavor was more umami than peanutty. Not a complaint! But if you're expecting a peanut punch, this might not be the dish for you. At its price point, I do wish there were a bit more noodles. But I didn't walk out hungry and service was really nice. Overall, if you're looking for a good set of peanut noodles, maybe hold out for Chinatown and its more affordable fare. But if you're in midtown and have a craving that can't quit, Lin and Daughters is your go to!

    Dumplings and brother Lin's beef noodle soup plus eating outside fantastic...Enjoy

    Wonderful place with great food and friendly faces. We will be returning as soon as possible. Plus don't forget the incredible bubble tea and drinks.

    Nice little space that recently opened up. The original location is in west village. The inside is nicely decorated. You order up at the front of the counter with the cashier and then get a number stand to bring to your table so that the staff can bring it to you if you're dining in. The food is definitely more like Asian style with an American taste/twist so it doesn't taste like your typical Chinese food that one might expect. Not a bad thing but just don't come in head expecting fully Chinese flavors because it's more fusion/American style.

    I was walking by and stopped by the new Lin & Daughters store in flatiron/nomad. They also have another location in west village. It's got a cozy interior and was really clean inside including the bathroom. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious! Everything tastes homemade and we liked everything we tried. The house shrimp dumplings in the lime cilantro sauce were super tasty. Both the wonton noodle soup and beef noodle soup were super comforting on the cold day. I definitely recommend adding some chili oil from the sauce area in the back to the soup for some extra flavor! I'll definitely be back to try some other items soon!

    Super quick and nice casual Chinese noodle spot! Got the dan dan noodles and they were solid! Very quiet and clean place and the staff were really nice. Also got a yuzu lemonade which was quite good as well!

    I found Lin and daughters a few years ago and till this date its still my FAVORITE. I've been to the West Village location more times than I can count so I was quite excited to try the flat iron location, let me tell you it is EVERYTHING! The beef noodle soup is a deeply warming soup filled with layers of spice that soothe and energize at the same time. Hearty and incredibly satisfying, it's comfort in a bowl. The dan dan noodles are delicious, perfectly cooked, satisfying, and clearly made with care. Every bite feels thoughtful and deeply comforting. I absolutely love the presentation as well!!! it's beautiful, inviting, and really shows the pride that goes into the dish. Beyond the food, the atmosphere makes the experience even better. The space feels warm and welcoming, the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable settling into. The restaurant is inviting, and it makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy your meal. This is the kind of restaurant you find yourself craving and happily returning to again and again.

We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

The restaurant is near my friend's place. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, and didn't take reservations, but we were seated immediately. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan. My only complaint was that I noticed a male staff member leave the restroom without flushing the toilet, which took away from an otherwise positive dining experience.

However, the other dishes are not particularly memorable. The skewer meat was tough and difficult to chew through, while the burger had a mushy texture and lacked distinct flavor. ​The service is standard for a quick-service noodle shop; the staff isn't overtly helpful or friendly, but they aren't inhospitable either. Stick strictly to the wide noodle dishes if you decide to visit.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

It would've been very easy to miss unless you're specifically looking for this place. Upon entering you're greeted by the numerous Michelin guides lol, front desk seated me pretty shortly after ensuring my seat was set, I was sat at the bar where they have a scan menu. Server immediately was attentive and filled my glass with some water. I was originally going to get the Dashi ramen but after I shared I'm allergic to shrimp the server felt it was a bit risky he was very careful so I appreciated that. I got the Tokyo ramen instead and a side of shishito peppers (he also omitted the Dashi JIC). It was happy hour so the appetizer was $7 I/o $8 and I also got an Asahi draft for $8. Ramen was $22. I was very surprised the server even asked about the oil the pork and peppers are fried in JIC of cross contamination - he shared that they use the same batch of oil as frying tempura (but I was ok with that but just watch out if you're like super super sensitive). Ramen: 7/10, decent bowl but not the best I've had. Feels a bit more Americanized and I prefer authentic Japanese ramen. Soup was rich, flavor but again it's one you can find at many other ramen shops in nyc. Noodle was a bit lackluster it was a bit soggy, not springy like freshly made ramen. The pork slices are flavorful but felt it's bit thin, I prefer a good cut...but personal preference. There's 2 thicker slices of marinated bamboo and half a jammy egg topped with scallions. Decent bowl but don't think it's worth $22. Shishito peppers: nicely fried. Well seasoned. 9/10 Overall - good spot for a decent bowl of ramen in the area.
