"Lin’s is the best place for dinner on a cool Taipei evening. The menu is strictly lamb — unlike its hot pot competitors, it is devoid of typical ingredients like fish balls or tofu. The point is to focus on the meat. The broth is a hodgepodge of herbs that includes goji berries. Bitter, leafy vegetables are recommended as supplements; opt for chrysanthemum greens when in season. The restaurant closes its doors in July, August, and September: It’s too hot and humid for lamb hot pot. [$$]" - Clarissa Wei
