Lin & Daughters

This cozy, homey authentic Chinese restaurant in West Village is a true hidden gem. The food is absolutely outstanding, and the service is just as great. The warm and inviting ambiance makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. Parking is street only, but it's well worth the visit!Food: - Brother Lin's Beef Noodle Soup: 10000/10. To die for. The beef was so tender. The broth was so spicy and flavorful and the noodles were so el dente.- Pan Fried Cumin Beef Dumplings w. Chili Sauce: 9.5/10. crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. it was filled with flavorful beef and balanced well with spicy chili sauce.Drinks:- Mango Cream Boba Tea: 9/10. Very light and not too sweet. It has little pieces of shredded mangos. Really good.

Friendly service with a small but inviting space. There are a handful of tables and bar seats available. It is very casual- you order at the register, pick your seat and put away your dishes when done. We went in the late afternoon and there were a couple of tables available. Ordered pan fried dumplings, dan dan noodles and beef noodle soup. I wish the dumplings were more crispy vs a slight crisp and a little less greasy. Both noodle dishes were good, but I would recommend the beef noodle soup over the dan dan noodles. Overall filling meal!

The Strawberry Cheesecake drink truly tasted like a strawberry cheesecake in liquid form (minus the crust), and the boba was chewy.The Beef Noodle Soup was filling and had plenty of beef and bok choy. Although I'm personally a fan of thicker noodles, I liked how al dente the noodles were here. The beef was also very tender.The service was quick, despite most tables being occupied on a weeknight. It was the perfect place for a quick meal alone, and it wasn't too loud.

Super cute little place with yummy food. The staff are very sweet and the atmosphere is very pleasant. There's only a few tables and some space at the counter, which is super cute, but some people actually came in and left because there was no place for them to sit at a table. The menu is kind of small. But if you're in the mood for soup, noodles or dumplings it's a good place to go. They also have a good selection of tea. We got the wonton soup, Dan, noodles, bok choy, and oyster sauce, pork, chive, dumplings, and cheesy scallion pancakes. Everything was good. My favorite thing I think was the bok choy and oyster sauce.

Very happy that I found this cozy and cute restaurant in West village! The menu is hanging on the wall with pictures which is really nice :) I got a beef spicy noodle soup And It hits the spot in the cold weather. Dan Dan noodles are also highly recommended! (Most popular dish) They serve you meals after you pay so it's a small business i would say one or two operation. The lady was so sweet! Will definitely come back for other noodles!

What is better than a bowl of soothing hot soup with noodles? After a very long journey back to the Big Apple, I was exhausted. Needing sustenance, I perused Door Dash to see what looked appealing. My order for Brother Lin's Beef Noodle Soup was perfect. The soup was in a large bowl and the silky noodles topped with a bed of chlorophyll green bok choy was in another bowl on top of it. The noodles were silky and held their shape when I assembled the soup. Each spoonful was hearty but not overpowering. I managed half and will have the rest today. Highly recommended.

Multiple new Chinese restaurant corridors have cropped up all over the NYC area in recent years beyond our many Chinatowns. They include LIC, the East Village, Kips Bay, the Upper West Side, Harlem, and across the river in Jersey City. Lin & Daughters adds to the many new Chinese restaurants in the West Village, catering to a mostly NYU crowd. The place is so cute, with pictures of their dishes hung up on their wall so you know exactly what you're getting. They really pack as much seating as possible into their little space, so don't expect to be too comfortable but at least you have somewhere to perch while you chow down on their handmade dumplings.The pan fried curry chicken dumplings I got were quite good, full of flavor and nice chewy dumpling skins. I liked their cheesy scallion pancakes but most of all their chicken noodle soup, which was just what I needed on this cold evening.You can get a filling meal here and be in and out in under an hour, and even get sake with it.

Lin & daughters is a cute little restaurant in the west village. It is surrounded by other establishments. I ordered the peanut noodles and the pork and chive dumplings which were phenomenal. I was craving these peanut noodles but I didn't feel like going to Chinatown for just a simple dinner. I was so happy I found this establishment. The two ladies that helped me out were friendly and had a smile on their face. They have bar seating and small tables to dine in. 10/10 restaurant rec. I would definitely want to come back here again.

Boba was just as ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE as almost 9 months ago! the Chocolate Lava is easily my favorite of all time and I tried more of my sisters this time. Her Strawberry Cheesecake boba was just wildly delicious. You just have to come here and try these drinks -- thankmelater --

New gem for my gotos. One of the best spicy beef noodle soups I've had outside of Taiwan. Pan fried dumplings and cucumbers were made well. The garlic cream udon was shockingly delicious. Cozy casual small shop. Really friendly staff. Looking forward to going back!
