@linandaughters was absolutely delicious! I really liked the garlic udon noodles from here. It was flavorful and tasty, the sauces also mixed in really well with the noodles. The noodles had a great texture to it as well. The service was fast and my noodles came out quickly. They offer noodles, dumplings, soups, and boba here. I also liked the bowl that my noodles came in. However, this place can get very crowded, especially after 6pm. Thats when the dinner rush starts to come in and it can be hard to grab a seat here. It's best to come before the dinner rush. The prices were also really good here for the area. Price:$14.00 Rating: 8.5/10 read more

I can't believe we causally found this place after roaming the west side for 15mins. This restaurant is a gem of its own and I can't wait to be back! My partner and I found a nice table inside and ordered at the counter. Drinks and food arrived in a timely manner and tasted delicious! Milk tea was aromatic which my partner LOVED. Dumplings were hot and perfectly fried. Crunchy and savory in all the right ways. I wish there was more beef filling but we ate em all! Peanut Noodles were SUPER satisfying too! I loved the addition with chicken because it made that much more fulfilling! I can't wait to come back! Especially for a matcha! Staff was super nice and dining room had great variety of seating! Looking forward to visiting their second location! read more

I have not dined in, only for takeout. When I went inside the tables seemed all filled and I can see why! Delicious dumplings (chicken, shrimp) and still need to try the beef dumplings that my friends have raved about! The chicken soup is great too, had it with gluten-free noodles. The staff in the front are so nice! They were friendly and helpful despite how busy they were on a Friday night. read more

Lin & Daughters - Inside - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Was walking around the West Village and started to get a serious craving for dumplings and I'm so glad I found this place just walking around! We walked in and they were making dumplings by hand right in front of us which was really cool. We ordered at the counter and took a spot at the "bar". (Seating is limited with just a few bar stools and maybe 3-4 tables), but we got lucky as there was only two others eating when we walked in. Since it was cold out I got the wonton soup to start. It was delicious and the wontons inside were so fresh and light. We also got an order of the pork and chive dumplings to split. These were absolutely delicious! They were flavorful, not greasy, and you could just tell they were made with care. The sauce that came with them was equally as delicious. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The peanut noodles had medium width wheat noodles tossed in a runny and smooth peanut sauce, which tasted like toasted peanuts. The noodles were hot and didn't clump together. The shrimp dumplings (boiled) with lime chili sauce looked bright and refreshing. The lime chili sauce looked like salsa verde but smelled and tasted like a Southeast Asian dressing. The dumplings' wrappers were pretty thin and mostly silky smooth. The shrimp meat was roughly chopped and similar to har gow. The sichuan chili oil was fun to try but kind of overpowered the chili lime sauce. There's a few tables and a seated bar area. The single restroom was clean, but you can only get to it through a small hallway that's partially used as storage. Food comes out pretty quickly. read more

Good Asian food but definitely priced on location. The pan-fried veggie dumplings were incredible. The wonton soup could have been better, it was pretty heavy on the vinegar side and I would've liked to taste more broth. This location is pretty tiny, there's some bar seating and a couple of small tables. We came when it was packed, the cashier was quick and food took maybe 10-15 min to come out. read more

Lin & Daughters - Mom's Wonton Soup (S) - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

We were in West Village for my HBD weekend and yelped Lin and Daughters and found this cozy tiny spot! It was walking distance from our apartment here in West Village and our first spot out on the town. Upon entering: the space is very compact and unassuming. But luckily there were spots at the bar for us 3 for a yummy casual dinner. My salad was super delicious, I'd order it again in a minute and so was my jasmine boba milk tea. On a cold, snowy day! The service is awesome bc you are sitting right at the bar, everything is served quickly. The soups, salads, dumplings, and boba teas. For us three, it was under $100 which is affordable for 3 folks for the West Village. Street parking can be found, but that's a roll of the dice since we were right off of Bleecker Street. Better to leave the car and explore and walk around everything. Thanks for a yummy dinner and getting our limbs warmed up on a snowy evening. read more

Good Asian food in West Village. The dining space is quite small; best to dine as a party of 2 at most or dine solo (or take it to go). There wasn't much space to put my jacket. If I hung it up on the hooks or on the bar seats it touched the floor :/ My friend and I really enjoyed the dumplings!! There were a lot of noodle dishes to choose from. We liked the dan dan noodles; strong flavor of crispy pork. The chicken noodle soup was good too, although the flavor of tumeric I think it was (a yellow spice) was a tad strong for my taste. read more

Came here before hitting the bars. Really tiny spot in the middle of the village. Cute vibe but don't come here with a group more than 4. Ordered a few dishes and the overall experience was ok, food wise. Peanut Butter Noodles - sauce was really watery. Flavor wasn't really there. It was very mild. Honestly, it was giving me elevated instant noodle vibes, which I was sad about because I was hoping for a rich peanut butter experience. Shoudl've got the dan dan noodles. Beef pot stickers - these were good. Had a cumin profile to the taste. Don't see many beef dumplings, at least not out in CA but this was good. I'd probably want to try the chicken next time. Cheese and beef wraps - these were the highlight of the meal. Can't really beat anything wrapped in a scallion pancake. Flavors were good. Sauces fit perfectly. I could eat a million of these things. read more

I saw this place when I was looking for food and saw people mentioned the portion sizes but nevertheless I gave them a chance. I've been here before when it used to be a ramen shop, but now it's Chinese. I walked in and someone was making dumplings by hands, but since it took me a minute to get here due to all this snow that just won't melt. I was a bit frazzled when I came in and didn't even bother to notice if she was wearing gloves or not or whatever, but let's hope she was since she's making dumpling and also handing the FOH. Anyways, okay, I know I am in the West Village, but damn, I ordered the peanut noodles and it was $10.99 compared to Shu Jiao Fu Zhou that's $4.25 with bigger portion. Why is this even priced in the double digits when it's PEANUT BUTTER? Like, is there a peanut inflation? There's no meat in here, so it's crazy that this place gives you the smallest of portion for $10.99, so I had to order their Wonton soup for $8.49. My total cost of work lunch was $21.21 and it didn't leave me satiated until dinner. If I had no other choice, I would come back here, because the food is not bad. Like I really did enjoy my wonton soup, because the wrapper was so delicate and had good filling and the peanut butter noodles were decent, but could have used some kick to it, but damn - they need to not be so stingy, because it is PEANUT BUTTER! read more

This is a cute spot serving Chinese and fusion dishes that are a bit pricier than you'd normally expect to pay, but hey, we're looking at West Village prices, not Chinatown. The pan-fried curry chicken dumplings are delicious. I also thoroughly enjoy the peanut butter noodles, which have a great al dente texture and flavorful peanut-y sauce. I've visited twice and it was packed on a Friday night, but the turnover's pretty quick, especially with the barstool seating. It's good to have this option in the area when I'm on the lookout for tasty and comforting Chinese food. I need to return for the beef noodle soup, garlic butter udon, and cumin beef dumplings! read more

As soon as I came back to NYC (sorry, Winter) all I could think about was my favorite boba ever-- the Chocolate Lava. Have also been meaning to try their shrimp dumplings. Stopped in today for both and was blown away. Boba was as fantastic as it's always been but the SHRIMP DUMPLINGS, THOUGH. I added a little sriracha over top. They were easily some of the best I've ever had with that cilantro-heavy chili lime sauce.. I drank it from the platter. I could have eaten 20 more. Wish they had just oooone more pescatarian-only option (but am hella excited to try the vegetarian stuff: veg. dumplings and peanut noodles). Every dish, even as a pescatarian, looks outstanding and I wish I could try them all! This is a family run restaurant and you can taste how much love they put into the food, into keeping a clean and cute space, and into their customer service. Will eventually branch out and try another tea but today was not that day hehe read more

Today I came here to try their cumin beef dumpling. Pro's: Good crispy bottom, decent amount of juicy inside. Cons: Almost No cumin flavor, or any flavor for that matter. Super boring. Super overpriced. Overall: Won't be back, not worth it. The dumplings were boring and overpriced. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I wanted so much to like this! It wasn't possible, though. It's basically a take-out place with a few small tables. You order at the counter like fast food. That part is fine. Some of the best places are little holes in the wall. They can have delicious food at great prices. Sadly, this had neither. We got the Garlic Noodles (which actually was delicious) and Dan Dan Noodles which was just ok. The portions were shockingly small. I forgot to take a picture because I was stunned into confusion. I have somewhat limited vision and I thought that I was just confused as to what I was seeing (or not seeing). But the plate was less than half full. $30+ and we left hungry. Not only was it $13.99 (plus tax) for the tiniest portion I've ever seen in a restaurant, but neither dish came with any protein. I know that 2 stars sounds awful (the fault of Yelp's 5-star system) but if you start with 5 and take off 1 for the tiny portion, 1 for the price and 1 for the food not being top notch, here we are. I feel badly. I like to support small, family businesses. But 3 issues with 1 small, casual meal is a lot. read more

Lin & Daughters is a tiny noodle shop in the West Village, best suited for takeout or a two-person meal at most. Space is tight and anything larger than a pair will feel impossible. There's often a wait, but on weekdays it moves quickly and the staff manages it well with friendly service. The soups are the main draw. Both the beef noodle soup and chicken noodle soup are deeply seasoned with broths that have real flavor. Portions are comfortable, not oversized and the noodles are cooked properly with good chew. The standout item wasn't the soup though in my opinion, but the special duck pancake. Overall, Lin & Daughters is worthwhile for flavorful noodle soups and quick service, but best experienced with a small party and low expectations for dining space. The soups are satisfying and if the duck dish is available, it's worth ordering as an appetizer. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally a simple high quality noodle spot. I don't know if this place is popular yet but I'm glad I came in right when it was empty. Its a small spot, they only have three tables and a bar that seats around 6-8 ppl. I love how the menu is on the wall with pictures of all the items! That's a plus for me because it helps me choose quicker! Ordering is quick and simple. You order up front and the staff brings the food to you. The staff is really helpful too. The food also came out pretty quickly considering how busy their take out was. I think I just found my new favorite dumplings. They're handmade and they had the perfect amount of crispy. I've never ate so much dumplings in one sitting. The beef ones were my favorite!! The spicy cucumber salad was plain, simple and delicious. They definitely could have been a bit more spicier. The dan dan noodles were delicious! Perfect amount of noodles and temperature!! the pork was a little overcooked and im not sure if it was supposed to be like that but I still loved it! I am definitely coming back to try out the rest of the menu soon! read more

Loved this place!!! Just stumpled upon it while I was walking by and had a great experience. It was so cold out so my friend and I each got the chicken noodle soup. Loved it.

The takeout containers are so cute! I've been wanting to try this place for their shrimp dumplings, and honestly, they were just OK. I am not sure if it is because I got it for takeout but here is my review: -Shrimp Dumplings (3.5/5): The shrimp was very tasty, but the wrapper was rather thick and stiff. The lime chili sauce though was a very unique touch and added a tang to this dish. This dish came with 8 shrimp dumplings -Bok Choy (3/5): bok choy was good but definitely a little overcooked. I also found the sauce to be slightly oily for my preference. The prices are also pretty high especially since I was not full after eating this! read more

Disclaimer: I've only ever ordered delivery I'm half Taiwanese and I'm always craving beef noodle soup. My partner found Lin & Daughters on DoorDash and decided to give it a try! What we tried- Beef noodle soup: I feel like this a non-traditional version but it was still good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it tho. Dan Dan noodles: Good flavor but this is probably better in person and fresh since it can congeal pretty quickly if you don't mix the noodles as soon as you get it. A tad under seasoned. Pork & Chive dumplings: Good but sometimes get a weird texture bite. The sauce it comes with is good. Wonton Soup: Has a sour/vinegar taste that I'm not used to in wonton soups but I actually enjoyed it! Chicken Noodle Soup: NO. NOTES. Simply comforting and delicious soup. Literally liquid gold. I feel like this could cure anything. Good chunks of seasoned chicken, lots of veggies. Maybe a tad salty but I loved it. Overall, I continue to order from them but nothing has really wow'd me except for the chicken noodle soup which I will keep coming back for. I do think it's a tad expensive for what it is. Want to try the drinks soon tho read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The space is a little small, but they were able to accommodate our group of 5 easily. The service was speedy -- our food was ready soon after ordering. The food here was amazing. Highly recommend visiting. Brother Lin's Beef Noodle Soup - I don't usually order noodle soup, but this one was perfect, from the bold and spicy broth to the tender melt-in-your-mouth beef and crisp veggies. In terms of the size of the dish, I left the meal feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Highly recommend. At $18, a decent price -- well worth it for the flavors.
