"Lin’s soup dumplings are virtually identical to the ones at Qi—it’s from the same team, and just a few blocks away—but the biggest wild card here is that you can order a massive one that’s roughly the size of a baseball, and filled with a rich pork, chicken, and duck broth that you can slurp out with a straw. We prefer the classic-sized dumplings—they’re a little easier to eat and feel more balanced—but the Texas-sized version is worth trying once just for the novelty." - nicolai mccrary
