    4.5/5 I enjoyed the soup dumplings here! Didn't try the other dishes except dumplings, lobster cheese puffs, and a side of their unique bun that looked like a hedgehog . The lobster cheese puffs were delicious, slightly crispy on the outside and creamy inside, similar to a crab Rangoon except not as crispy. Soup dumplings were good. Outside wasn't too dough-y and the broth flavor was great, not too salty and well balanced. Their cat dessert/sorbet was very cute and insta worthy but didn't taste very good. It was too bland and not sweet enough for me. The portions were also a bit small for the price. Service was good, our waiter was attentive and checked in often. My friend has a lot of different food allergies and he really paid attention.

    Veggie dumplings & half eaten pancake

    Really enjoyed my first experience at Lins! I had made a reservation only for 2, not realizing I'd have to bring my baby, and they were very accommodating. It's a small, cozy spot and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. They have a few options that can be made vegan and I tried the fried veggie dumplings and scallion pancake. It's a bit pricy but I did enjoy it a lot :)

    So glad I got to stop in today for a solo date. I arrived around 11:45am and it was still empty inside (started to get busy around 12:30pm) I asked for a table but the hostess said since I'm alone I would need to sit at the bar. I didn't want to and asked to be seated outside instead. It was pretty on the patio and hot. Fans with better circulation is a must here. Besides this annoying hiccup. I enjoyed my meal and the outdoor people watching. I love the soup dumplings even though today's didn't taste very fresh... I also order Kung Pao beef which was fine and came with white rice and egg drop soup of hot & sour soup. I went for hot & sour. It was the only thing I didn't eat. Lovely wall mural on the side of the building a beautiful set up inside and out reminds me of a few restaurants in San Francisco! My feedback is for their workers not to be so judgmental and biased to solo diners!

    Fabulous experience! Our son made a weekday lunch reservation ahead of time. Highly recommend reservations and the earlier, the better. Parking was limited behind the building and is shared with other businesses. This place was super cute! You can tell every decor detail was thoughtfully put together. The exterior building mural was amazing - Asian street scenes. Loved the cute Asian table cups, table decor, and the bathroom was another story lol, the toilet was a full on bidet. Toilet seat opened up automatically when I came up to it. And the paper towels were luxuriously thick and soft, not the cheap stuff. Our server was attentive, accommodating , and understanding. We told her of our special needs and she answered our questions. We all ordered from their lunch menu- which included choice of soup and steamed rice. I ordered the crispy shrimp with jalapeños. Perfect! Extra large plumpy shrimp with bits of sliced jalapeños and cooked veggies. Definitely not spicy or saucy. I enjoyed my choice of soup- egg drop, comfort soup for the soul. Our table shared an order of soup dumplings and shu mai. The soup dumplings were fabulous- an explosion of soup in each delicately wrapped package. Everyone at our table enjoyed their dishes! Overall, excellent food and service with cute decor!

    So confused why this place isn't 5 stars because damn damn DAMN!!! It's so good, I randomly think about it! Try everything, because NOTHING is bad.

    Came here on Monday foe lunch. We arrived just before the crowd, at 11:30 and got nice seats inside by the window. It was raining snd the inside of this restaurant was warm and cozy. We ordered a variety of items. My favorites were the duck pancake and the soup dumplings. I will make a stop here every time I visit Austin if I can!

    Hot & Sour Soup
    Brooke D.

    Came here for lunch recently and really loved it! They have great prices on their lunch menu and everything was phenomenal. We started off with the Szechuan spicy cucumbers and soup dumplings and both were perfect. The cucumbers were refreshing but had a nice spice and acidity to them and the soup dumpling wrappers were the perfect texture. I ordered the king pao shrimp and it was packed with so much flavor! The hot and sour soup was also very yummy but definitely the oiliest hot and sour soup I've ever had. Service here was also good and the interior of the restaurant was cute! Definitely will be back :)

    Perfect ambiance for my birthday dinner, classic and chic. Low lighting for a warm, slow evening. Lychee martinis and sake with conversation. The food is EXCELLENT and definitely ask questions about portions. Lo mein can be shared amongst the table! We ordered several appetizers and shared and experienced many menu options. Highly recommend and great for a date night or slow evening. The server was excellent, he brought me a little sorbet cat for my birthday!

    Dummy Rice
    Anisya N.

    Perfect spot for a date night with the low lighting, intimate seating and elegant decor. Ordered their soup dumplings, scallion pancake, dummy rice and pipa tofu. The appetizers came out quickly with the entrees taking a bit longer. My favorites of the night were the pipa tofu which was shrimp wrapped in tofu and in this flavorful, spicy curry. The dummy rice is generously filled with meat. The curry that the scallion pancake comes with is also so so flavorful and aromatic. I've had better soup dumplings- the meat in this had a weird texture personally. Service wise, our guy checked in on us a few times but seemed a bit distracted- kind of expected better service for the price point. On the whole, food is flavorful and portions are good!

    dim sum and drinks being devoured
    Shelby C.

    I've been here twice now, gotten Dim Sum both times so I can't speak to the entrees they have. When I'm in town to visit family for the holidays, this place is turning into a tradition! The place is small inside and has been 100% full both times I've gone, so make sure to make a reservation! The place is cozy and bustling and has a nice outdoor seating area as well, but like I said, both inside and outside are usually fully packed. I gotta say, even with the small bites I always leave stuffed. The soup dumplings, the grilled char sui, the eggrolls, the specialty cocktails... it's all so good. We were there during the holidays so got to try the festive drinks. I tried 4 I think and they were all super good. The service here is fast and friendly. Definitely a place to hit if you're in the area.

    I like Lin! I've been twice now and love their soup dumplings. Service is also really quick. Only downside is it's a bit crammed inside there.

    The best dim sum I've ever had! Dumplings had so much flavor. I enjoyed everything we ordered. Def recommend checking this spot out! You'll be in for a treat!

    Scallion Pancake with Curry Dip
    Jodi M.

    I get the hype! It's NOT like Din Tai for those who know.... So don't go in with that idea.. its similar but different with their own twist. Got there the day after xmas at 430 when they opened, already a line. Like others have said make resos! We didn't, it was just me and my son. Got a seat as a walk in right away at the small bar. Service.. meh. 5/10. The wait staff behind the bar wasn't the most friendly, welcoming or attentive. I was hoping for a bit more interest of a hello, is this your 1st time. None of that. Left on our own to look at google and yelp food pix. We got only dim sum: -cucumber salad (good, smokey, umami) 8/10 -roasted duck pancake 10/10 -scallion pancake with curry dip 9/10 -dan dan noodle 6/10 Roasted duck and scallion pancake was the 2 best things we ordered. Plenty for 2!

    Jasmine Tea. Stays wonderfully warm in a copper pot.

    Lin Asian Bar & Dim Sum Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Lin Asian Bar & Dim Sum

    What about Parking?

    Please visit our website. https://www.linasianbar.com/parking-information/

    Do they serve good sushi?

    We did not order sushi so I can't help you with that question. Everything else we have eaten at Li Asian has been fabulous.

    Is it real dim sum from a cart or do you have to (fake) order from a menu?

    You order everything from the menu, but each piece is handmade, and you can watch them in the open kitchen.

    Are the soup dumplings gluten free?

    Nope

    How many people does the private back room seat?

    14 people

    Do they serve dim sum all day long on weekdays?

    They are open for lunch and dinner on weekdays - you can check their hours of operation online. They serve dim sum at all times however for weekdays and dinner it is a select dim sum menu (showed on web). Weekend Brunch is the only time they will… 

    Is patio area outdoor or indoor? If it rains or gets really windy will it affect the patio area?

    Small outdoor patio. Has some covering but if wind kicks up rain or it rains sideways you could get wet.

    Is there validated parking?

    The is very limited parking behind the restaurant. Otherwise there is street parking

    Is Apple Pay accepted?

    It is not.

    Do you serve alcohol?

    Yes

    Is carryout available?

    Yes I believe

    Does Lin's do pick up for dim sum over the weekend?

    You will have to call them directly. They have limited dim sum hours throughout the week and weekend.

    What kind of meat is in the Shanghai soup dumplings?

    It isn't worth having, if you want to enjoy your meal.

    Is there outdoor patio area dog friendly?

    Yes it is.

    What's the average cost for two people eating dinner?

    Of course, it depends on what dishes you get and how much you eat. Keep in mind that the portion for the entrees is not very large. If you get an order of soup dumplings and 2 entrees, it should come out to about $40 including tax and tip.

    Do they use MSG? I see several reviewers felt certain it was used. Perhaps just in certain dishes? The restaurant responded to their reviews thanking them for their reviews without any clarification re: MSG.

    MSG occurs naturally in many foods but I was told by staff as soon as we sat down that they don't use MSG, meaning they don't add any outside of what naturally occurs. And in general, people need to get over their fear of MSG. When it comes down to…

It is very very very dark in there so it's super intimate and features candles and mini tap light lamps. If you have sight or mobility issues, you may not like this venue from a safety standpoint. Steep incline stairs lead down to this dungeon like hold. I would return in a heartbeat. Must have the password. Exclusive and decadent is the mood. So if it matches you, you have to visit!

Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass. Loved everything about this place and will absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

The guy at the front was very nice, but as soon as we get to the "receptionist" the entire narrative changed. She looked my girlfriend and I up and down and then proceeded to tap multiple times on her IPad. She then says, "you know it's 1:30? we close at 2. we only have standing room." She had the most miserable scowl on her face. My girlfriend and I were dressed very nicely (pants & jacket, and a dress), so I know this was not a outfit issue. I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

    Absolutely fantastic experience! We were looking for a place to enjoy a post-concert drink and…read morestumbled across The Roosevelt Room. We weren't looking for much by way of menu just a few snacks or small bites for Girl Dinner. We found just that here. The Sumac and pepper popcorn was to die for! I really don't drink that much or often, but decided to have one. The drink list is extensive, but very organized by era. I decided to go for the Zombie. My server, Noah encouraged my audacity! I can't remember whether it was described as dramatic as it showed up, but let me tell you there was drama! It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled! To put out the flame, Noah gave one dramatic clap, and the flame disappear disappeared! I want to thank Noah and the team for encouraging my ridiculousness and delivering me an excellent craft drink with all the drama I deserved and could ever ask for! 10/10! Gotta go back to see how much more ridiculous I can go! Can't stop now! Join me!

One of my cousins had the charcuterie board. Both were delicious. Our waiter took good care of us. I like that they have an assortment of drinks from different decades. There seems to be a drink for every palate. If alcohol isn't your thing, they have mocktails. The ambiance was nice. The lights were warm and low. Old movies played on the wall from a projector. Walls are lined with vintage books. Overall, I think this is a cool place. I look forward to returning.

I went last night and stood at the bar for several minutes without being acknowledged by the two female bartenders on that night. They were talking to one another.. This is not the first time. I am in the service industry, unacceptable. Very deadpan service. I also miss the burger truck. I am gonna keep trying..

    Fortune Teller is absolutely bomb. I've been here twice now, and I came both times with friends…read more The first time I came was in the afternoon, and I got their violet femme coffee ($5, it's basically a lavender london fog), which was really smooth and very lovely. The second time I came, I got the plum mezcalita and tried my friend's fig old fashioned (classic cocktails). I also got the purple cloud (ube latte) after my cocktail which was sweet and creamy. It was during happy hour and they have a small discount on select cocktails, but the HH menu is limited. That said, the second time I came was also the night they were hosting some kind of gypsy festival, so there were a bunch of booths selling different types of vintage clothing and handmade goods, as well as a fortune teller who was reading fortunes. They had some couches and plenty of tables to sit at -- it was a total vibe. It wasn't too hot either, and at the end of the night there was a fire show, which was pretty fun! The whole thing was free, and there is a small gravel parking lot where you can park, and I did get a spot there since I came right around 5p when thinks were starting. Even if you don't get a spot there, the nearby neighborhood streets have free parking space too and pretty easy to get to your car afterward. Overall, I do really like this bar -- I'm glad that it's in Austin so that there's always a breezy spot to come and hang out in the early evening!

    This was my first time at a speakeasy and they sure set the bar high! They really are as secret as…read moreit seems. My sister-in-law made reservations and we walked down the busy 6th Street to get there until we stopped at an unassuming and unlabeled door. When you walk in, it's a very dark and moody interior with small tables. They led us to a private room in the back which perfectly fit the six of us. Their menu is very creative, with unique names and unique ingredients. I don't like alcohol, so I was super happy to see an entire section dedicated to zero proof mocktails. I ordered the 5 AM somewhere which was a matcha based mocktail. It still had a bitter taste to it, perhaps from the Lyres Rosso. But the entire experience was so creative, led by our server/bartender Martin. He was a lot of fun and made the experience that much better. He was personable and funny and felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more chill vibe on 6th Street!

I had to a make a reservation beforehand because that's the only place they'll let you in, and i understand why, its a very intimate bar and the whole vibe would not be the same if the place was packed, so i appreciate the atmosphere. We tried a couple of recommendations the staff gave us, they had 2 of our drinks prepared right in front of our table explaining the type of liquor they were using, their menu is really interesting with different flavor and mixes, and like the one i tried with banana and other herbs that just make sense. We had a really good night enjoying there i like that the place is dimlight and so different from the vibe right outside on 5th street!
