Lin & Daughters

"This modest spot run by Becky Lin as an ode to her daughters features soups and dumplings and little else. A favorite is the unusual shrimp dumplings in a lime-chile sauce heaped with cilantro and scallions, giving the dumplings a Southeast Asian flavor. Taiwanese beef noodle soup is also a good bet." - Robert Sietsema

"Today, Lin is the chef-owner of Lin & Daughters in New York City’s Greenwich Village, where she serves a “cheesy scallion pancakes” appetizer inspired by her daughter’s creation." - ByCathy Erway

"Lin & Daughters in New York City’s Greenwich Village serves a 'cheesy scallion pancakes' appetizer inspired by Becky Lin's daughter’s creation. The scallion pancakes are folded to enclose a filling of cream cheese and green onion, reminiscent of crab rangoon, before mozzarella cheese is griddled on top. Crispy and oozing, this appetizer has become a crowd favorite at Lin & Daughters since it opened in late 2022."

"Great dumplings in the West Village? Yeah, we said it. Lin & Daughters is a mom-and-daughter shop with cute little touches, like a neon lucky cat waving from one of its big windows, which fill the cafe with light. We like this spot for casual dates, friend hangs, or as a place to see if you actually like spending time out with your coworkers before committing to team drinks. Lin & Daughters makes wonderful, perfectly crisp pan-fried dumplings (try the curry chicken or the cumin beef with chili sauce), cheese-filled scallion pancakes, boba drinks, and a few noodle dishes named after Lin family members, like Grandma’s Peanut Butter Noodles.
