The dumplings were very tasty, as was the tea. The service was excellent and the server was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was nice, but we were initially a bit confused about where the entrance was as it's also called Happy Noodle and Boiling Seafood. read more

This was really enjoyable and quiet on our early dinner Saturday night. The restaurant was clean and comfortable--we tried hot and sour soups, pan fried dumplings (pork and pork and shrimp), pork buns, and scrambled eggs with tomato over rice. The service was friendly. Everything was wonderful except for the hot and sour soup--it was too spicy and too heavy with it being thickened with corn starch. The shrimp and pork dumplings were addictive as well as the pork buns.... I loved the flavor of the eggs with tomato over rice (would happily have this simple dish weekly). We are excited about adding this spot to our dining rotation! read more

It was a breezy October evening, and I was craving something warm, delicious, and filling--specifically, dumplings. I passed by Lin Dumplings around 10:55 AM, and they let me go in and order. The location used to be Broadfork Cafe (it still has all the Broadfork signage up), and it appears they are in the process of renovating. I tried the chicken dumplings ($12.99 for 10 dumplings) to go, and they were amazing. Served warm, the skin is fresh with a delightful chew, and the filling is meaty and generous. The "skin" on the bottom of the pan fried dumplings is a unique touch! Definitely use the soy-ginger and chili oil served alongside the dumplings! The staff seem very hardworking and kind. read more

Broadfork Cafe is no more! The vegan spirits have been warded away with the steam wafting up from the delightfully fleshy dumplings of Lin. I noticed the Open sign flashing even though I have a DM from them saying they won't open until later this week...yet there the staff were upon me stepping in the front door - at the counter wrapping dumplings next to the register that was ready to take orders off of anything from their expansive menu! Various forms of jiaozi, xiao long bao, whether steamed or pan fried were up for the taking. Even frozen bags for those who want to take them home! A cold appetizer dish sits behind the queue for some non-dumpling accompanying dishes. The Pork and Shrimp dumplings that I ordered were scrumptious - juicy and hot. The cold spicy sliced beef tendon was exactly as described. This was plenty for my first seating as a lone diner, but I can see this being quite a fun place to check out as a large group, which is what I intend to return with to try many of its other flavours. read more

Pretty solid chinese comfort food and perfect for takeout. The fried noodles come as a large portion. I recommend the pan fried dumplings but they can get a little soggy if you're picking up and online order. The pan-fried baos are also soft and pillowy. The staff is friendly and the place is pretty clean inside. read more

We ordered the pork and cabbage potstickers as well as the pork and pickle dumplings. Both of these were yummy and flavorful. The potstickers were a bit oily for my liking though. They also have a mini sauce bar to make your own sauce to dip in. Service was quick and Ill definitely come back when I'm craving dumplings :)) read more

Loved this airy, under-patronized space, well worth the hunt for parking. Ordering is via phone app from an online menu, or by a touch screen at the front, and the set up is somewhat self-serve, so there is less service interaction than in a traditional restaurant, but within its aspirations the service was prompt and attentive. All of the food arrived fresh and hot from the kitchen as each dish was prepared. Our group of five ate family-style with a selection of dumpling, vegetable and noodle dishes. We started with a double order of the very fresh cucumber salad, and were amused to find the cucumbers were spiral cut, making them a bit challenging to divide. It was great that this place has a little 'bar' set up by the water dispenser where you can mix your own chili oil dipping dish from a selection of chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and probably a couple more choices I missed. The bespoke chili sauce dip made a perfect complement to the cucumber salad, and indeed many of the dumpling and bun dishes as well. The beef fried noodles were amazing, with a perfect, slightly chewy tooth to the noodles and a light, umami sauce. I was also blown away by how good their vegetable fried rice was -- a simple dish that is often gluey, warmed over, and mediocre, but here it came out piping hot and full of flavor. The dumplings and bao were uniformly excellent as well. The main disappointment of this meal was the General Tso's chicken which didn't have any discernible kick to it at all. It was perfectly okay, not bad in any way, just not very exciting. We all agreed we'd like to come back and try more dishes, so this was a very happy discovery. The location is unfortunately remote from The Ave, and parking in the area is awkward, but I hope more people will get curious and check this place out, because it's a winner. read more

Lin Handmade dumplings is awesome and I'm definitely taking my friends here! This will be new my go-to place for Chinese comfort food at a reasonable price! While some restaurants server dumplings with very thin wrappers, Lin's dumplings came with thicker wrappers, which is the style my grandmother used to make! Each dumpling also came with a generous amount of filling and goes perfectly with vinegar and chili oil. They also sell their frozen dumplings and Xiao long bao, which I will be purchasing :) This is by no means a fancy restaurant like DTF or has the best service. However, the food here felt homey and down to earth, and it's my type of hangover cure haha. If you've been to New York Chinatown or Flushing, this is the type of food you'd find there!! Nothing crazy but always hits the spot. Every dumpling is handmade and you can see the worker making them as you walk in. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant for anyone craving dumplings, and I know I'll be a regular here :) read more

Not worth the money. The food was just fine, we ordered pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings, noodles with spicy sauce, and beef tendons. The noodles and tendons were good, the dumplings were ok. The portions were SO SMALL. $50 for three small bowls of food that could be eaten for one meal. The service was horrible. The girl working the front of house did not care about her job at all. She was constantly on her phone, she didn't bring out food when it was ready, and then she took away a plate from our table that still had food in it. It smells amazing when you walk by the storefront but it is absolutely not worth your money. Update: My partner got light food poisoning from this meal. read more

Great dumplings. We got pork and shrimp dumplings with egg which was my favorite. It had big chunks of shrimp which I liked. The soup dumplings was more traditional but still flavorful and delicious. Cozy and wonderful place to eat. It had great family vibes and they were kind. read more

Ordered the steamed dumplings, beef noodles, and green beans. The noodles were a little too oily for my taste but I really liked the green beans. Portion size was also good! The lady working there was also very friendly. I liked that they also sell frozen dumplings. This place is pretty good! I'm a big fan :) read more

I love dumplings so so much! I got a takeout order and it was exactly what I was craving. This is a staple dumpling spot

Arrived to Lin's at 2pm on a Sunday, and had the whole place to ourselves. Ordered beef noodles, xiao long bao, wontons in chili oil, and pork shumai. The xiao long bao and wontons were super tasty, but I could've done without the beef noodles. They just felt average - I'd get something else! Service was quick, and you order at your table with the QR code. Overall, I'd like to try it out again! read more

My partner and I went here on New Year Day in the evening and though it was quiet, it was a very nice experience here. We ordered some dumplings, wontons, and soup, and it came out super quick.

Newly opened at the corner of 12th avenue Northeast and Northeast 50th Street across from the ymca, this Northern Chinese specialty shop is a welcome addition to the university district. We watched a worker making fresh buns in a room just behind the ordering window. Some generous bowls of appetizers are on display at the condiments bar. The restaurant is light filled and welcoming with nicely designed place settings on the tables. Our kimchi beef noodles (allow 20 minutes for preparation) were well cooked and delicious and copious enough for two more meals at home. The nice pot of green tea was complimentary, perhaps because we dropped a few words of Chinese to the smiling server who opened the door for us on the way out. We will be back soon. read more

The food was really good, we got pork soup dumplings and a pork bun. the layout of the restaurant was weird

We're very kind and fast! Great dumplings! Super kind when walking in. I especially liked the insulated bag the food came in:)

40 bucks for one half of a meal and a 30 minute wait when the restaurant was dead quiet. Small portions and staff that sit there on their phones. Bummer that Broadfork went out of business for this read more

DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT. I can no longer recommend this place after getting takeout from here multiple times starting from when they first opened as they are very close to me. Their menu items are hit or miss with the highlights being their pan friend dumplings and buns, garlic string beans, and wontons and their misses being their soup dumplings, chicken fried noodles, and stir fried egg with tomato noodles (this came as a noodle soup despite being listed as a stir fried noodle dish and came with very little egg???). However, even with the "highlights," their menu items are carried by their signature dumpling sauce. Their sauce is the biggest highlight but there is now a hard limit of 2 small sauce containers per takeout order, no many how many items in the order. I had a 6 item pick up order for 3 people and was refused when I asked for extra sauce as we 6 items and was "shooed" away with the hand motion and all by the lady working the counter. Their items are generally mediocre compared with their price and without enough sauce I cannot recommend this place. There are much better dumpling and noodle spots around the area like North and Dumpling the Noodle. read more
