Lin Handmade Dumplings & Noodles

Great beef stew! The original flavor is a must try. The beef cube is tender and with balanced mixture with fat marble. Numb Spicy dried beef stripe is also a gem choice in the restaurant, it’s very spicy, be aware! Pan fried dumpling tastes also good, very thin dough.

I wanted to like this place, but I have mixed feelings about the food and service I received. The cucumber appetizer was not authentic, it's meant to be garlic, spicy but instead it was plain and slightly sweet and the pan fried pork buns lacked flavor and the fillings were not soupy and moist. However the dumplings were good and the real saving grace was the stir fried beef noodle. I might come back to try the beef noodle soup, but given the lack of interest from the staff, I'm not sure I feel welcomed.

I came here exactly for the new menu, new chief. Because this is a restaurant providing authentic Sichuan food that is not so easy to find in downtown Seattle. My recommendation as a local Sichuan born-up: 肥肠面、豆花饭、狼牙土豆。

They have really revamped things recently! I was here a month ago and they gave me a tour of treats. Originally this was Choco Canyon and was desert focused. The food is great and since their relaunch they’ve put in ample effort. I’ve been a loyal regular for almost 5 years and am so thankful they’re still going. This is a great place to enjoy wholesome and healthy plant based foods and treats. It’s a nice place to hang out, work or talk. Bathrooms are good.

Lin’s was a nice and quiet spot! We ordered the beef fried noodles, chili sauce wontons, and pork soup XLB dumplings. The chili sauce didn’t have chili flakes in it and wasn’t spicy, but the portion was generous. The XLB were good, but could be more flavorful. The beef fried noodles were good; I’d order them again. I hope to make it back to try more items!

The eyes really do eat first here at Broadfork, where fresh ingredients imbue their dishes with vibrant colors 🥗🍽️🌈 I admire their commitment to community & connection, which truly shines through their food. AND they value organic, sustainable, and local ingredients? It doesn’t get any better than this 🤗

Ordered mushroom dumplings, pork and chive dumplings, cucumber salad and spicy noodles. Only the dumplings looked like the pictures on their ordering site. The cucmber salad was particularly disappointing. Mostly, things were a little bland, but the pork and chive dumplings were tasty! Once fully mixed up, the noodles were pretty good, too. Mostly leaving a bad review because of how unpredictable the dishes were based on tbe pictures.

Lin’s is still here! Just added a seafood boil and rebranded as HAPPY NOODLE AND BOILING SEAFOOD HOUSE. Same delicious dumplings and charming service just now with more options. Try the HOUSE SPECIAL SAUCE on your seafood boil- it’s incredible!

The mini dumplings are the soup dumplings. Tender and juicy! We had the beef and onion and the pork and cabbage both great. B Excellent service.

Food was the greatest I had seafood rice bowl super yummy especially when I saw it had vegetables it was great I also had dim sum it was so good forgot the picture the service was excellent to very nice spot to take family and friends

Great customer service! Food is sooo good! And the house made seafood boil is great! Different from the rest! Thank you for a great experience!

This was really enjoyable and quiet on our early dinner Saturday night. The restaurant was clean and comfortable--we tried hot and sour soups, pan fried dumplings (pork and pork and shrimp), pork buns, and scrambled eggs with tomato over rice. The service was friendly. Everything was wonderful except for the hot and sour soup--it was too spicy and too heavy with it being thickened with corn starch. The shrimp and pork dumplings were addictive as well as the pork buns.... I loved the flavor of the eggs with tomato over rice (would happily have this simple dish weekly). We are excited about adding this spot to our dining rotation!

It was a breezy October evening, and I was craving something warm, delicious, and filling--specifically, dumplings. I passed by Lin Dumplings around 10:55 AM, and they let me go in and order. The location used to be Broadfork Cafe (it still has all the Broadfork signage up), and it appears they are in the process of renovating. I tried the chicken dumplings ($12.99 for 10 dumplings) to go, and they were amazing. Served warm, the skin is fresh with a delightful chew, and the filling is meaty and generous. The "skin" on the bottom of the pan fried dumplings is a unique touch! Definitely use the soy-ginger and chili oil served alongside the dumplings! The staff seem very hardworking and kind.

Pretty solid chinese comfort food and perfect for takeout. The fried noodles come as a large portion. I recommend the pan fried dumplings but they can get a little soggy if you're picking up and online order. The pan-fried baos are also soft and pillowy. The staff is friendly and the place is pretty clean inside.

Broadfork Cafe is no more! The vegan spirits have been warded away with the steam wafting up from the delightfully fleshy dumplings of Lin. I noticed the Open sign flashing even though I have a DM from them saying they won't open until later this week...yet there the staff were upon me stepping in the front door - at the counter wrapping dumplings next to the register that was ready to take orders off of anything from their expansive menu! Various forms of jiaozi, xiao long bao, whether steamed or pan fried were up for the taking. Even frozen bags for those who want to take them home! A cold appetizer dish sits behind the queue for some non-dumpling accompanying dishes. The Pork and Shrimp dumplings that I ordered were scrumptious - juicy and hot. The cold spicy sliced beef tendon was exactly as described. This was plenty for my first seating as a lone diner, but I can see this being quite a fun place to check out as a large group, which is what I intend to return with to try many of its other flavours.

We ordered the pork and cabbage potstickers as well as the pork and pickle dumplings. Both of these were yummy and flavorful. The potstickers were a bit oily for my liking though. They also have a mini sauce bar to make your own sauce to dip in. Service was quick and Ill definitely come back when I'm craving dumplings :))

Loved this airy, under-patronized space, well worth the hunt for parking. Ordering is via phone app from an online menu, or by a touch screen at the front, and the set up is somewhat self-serve, so there is less service interaction than in a traditional restaurant, but within its aspirations the service was prompt and attentive. All of the food arrived fresh and hot from the kitchen as each dish was prepared. Our group of five ate family-style with a selection of dumpling, vegetable and noodle dishes. We started with a double order of the very fresh cucumber salad, and were amused to find the cucumbers were spiral cut, making them a bit challenging to divide. It was great that this place has a little 'bar' set up by the water dispenser where you can mix your own chili oil dipping dish from a selection of chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and probably a couple more choices I missed. The bespoke chili sauce dip made a perfect complement to the cucumber salad, and indeed many of the dumpling and bun dishes as well. The beef fried noodles were amazing, with a perfect, slightly chewy tooth to the noodles and a light, umami sauce. I was also blown away by how good their vegetable fried rice was -- a simple dish that is often gluey, warmed over, and mediocre, but here it came out piping hot and full of flavor. The dumplings and bao were uniformly excellent as well. The main disappointment of this meal was the General Tso's chicken which didn't have any discernible kick to it at all. It was perfectly okay, not bad in any way, just not very exciting. We all agreed we'd like to come back and try more dishes, so this was a very happy discovery. The location is unfortunately remote from The Ave, and parking in the area is awkward, but I hope more people will get curious and check this place out, because it's a winner.

Lin Handmade dumplings is awesome and I'm definitely taking my friends here! This will be new my go-to place for Chinese comfort food at a reasonable price! While some restaurants server dumplings with very thin wrappers, Lin's dumplings came with thicker wrappers, which is the style my grandmother used to make! Each dumpling also came with a generous amount of filling and goes perfectly with vinegar and chili oil. They also sell their frozen dumplings and Xiao long bao, which I will be purchasing :) This is by no means a fancy restaurant like DTF or has the best service. However, the food here felt homey and down to earth, and it's my type of hangover cure haha. If you've been to New York Chinatown or Flushing, this is the type of food you'd find there!! Nothing crazy but always hits the spot. Every dumpling is handmade and you can see the worker making them as you walk in. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant for anyone craving dumplings, and I know I'll be a regular here :)

Quick for takeout, and good portion sizes for the price. Just got the vegetable noodles but they were great and filling. Will be back for dumplings next time for sure.

Arrived to Lin's at 2pm on a Sunday, and had the whole place to ourselves. Ordered beef noodles, xiao long bao, wontons in chili oil, and pork shumai. The xiao long bao and wontons were super tasty, but I could've done without the beef noodles. They just felt average - I'd get something else! Service was quick, and you order at your table with the QR code. Overall, I'd like to try it out again!

Not worth the money. The food was just fine, we ordered pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings, noodles with spicy sauce, and beef tendons. The noodles and tendons were good, the dumplings were ok. The portions were SO SMALL. $50 for three small bowls of food that could be eaten for one meal. The service was horrible. The girl working the front of house did not care about her job at all. She was constantly on her phone, she didn't bring out food when it was ready, and then she took away a plate from our table that still had food in it. It smells amazing when you walk by the storefront but it is absolutely not worth your money. Update: My partner got light food poisoning from this meal.

Great dumplings. We got pork and shrimp dumplings with egg which was my favorite. It had big chunks of shrimp which I liked. The soup dumplings was more traditional but still flavorful and delicious. Cozy and wonderful place to eat. It had great family vibes and they were kind.

Got the Dan Dan noodles, braised beef noodles and wonton soup. They were all so tasty and I really recommend the braised beef. The servers were very helpful and answered all our questions

Ordered the steamed dumplings, beef noodles, and green beans. The noodles were a little too oily for my taste but I really liked the green beans. Portion size was also good! The lady working there was also very friendly. I liked that they also sell frozen dumplings. This place is pretty good! I'm a big fan :)

I love dumplings so so much! I got a takeout order and it was exactly what I was craving. This is a staple dumpling spot

My partner and I went here on New Year Day in the evening and though it was quiet, it was a very nice experience here. We ordered some dumplings, wontons, and soup, and it came out super quick. Though it's not the best I've ever had, it was still really good and I'm happy we went. The staff was very friendly and I'd overall recommend.

This place is a gem ! I love their soup dumplings and their pork and chives. Services was fast because they had it ready. It was a good snack.

pretty decent chinese take out/dine in place. highly recommend the steamed pork buns!

Spectacularly good soup dumplings! This is a true neighborhood gem! The garlic green beans are also a highlight!

Made it in and the food is awesome, the staff is extremely friendly and it paired with the awesome Latte. the spicy tofu was the best that I have had in washington. The space is nice and cozy but warm with all of the windows.

Amazing! We ordered general tso chicken, pork soup dumplings, and the chicken fried rice. The take out had cool, insulated bags. I could tell they care for us

Newly opened at the corner of 12th avenue Northeast and Northeast 50th Street across from the ymca, this Northern Chinese specialty shop is a welcome addition to the university district. We watched a worker making fresh buns in a room just behind the ordering window. Some generous bowls of appetizers are on display at the condiments bar. The restaurant is light filled and welcoming with nicely designed place settings on the tables. Our kimchi beef noodles (allow 20 minutes for preparation) were well cooked and delicious and copious enough for two more meals at home. The nice pot of green tea was complimentary, perhaps because we dropped a few words of Chinese to the smiling server who opened the door for us on the way out. We will be back soon.

The food was really good, we got pork soup dumplings and a pork bun. the layout of the restaurant was weird

40 bucks for one half of a meal and a 30 minute wait when the restaurant was dead quiet. Small portions and staff that sit there on their phones. Bummer that Broadfork went out of business for this

饺子好难吃 饺子皮太厚了 饺子馅不入味 一口咬下去 猪肉馅红彤彤还带着血的即使感 饺子店竟然只有煎饺子和蒸饺子 服了 水煮的去哪里啦？ 无语.. 不好吃。........... 不是手工的感觉 好像机器压出来的饺子 怎么吃怎么感觉不对劲 怎么手工包的饺子每个一摸一样 去年冬天回老家在超市买的仿手工冻饺子很像 Fake handmade dumplings It's machine dumplings for sure

We're very kind and fast! Great dumplings! Super kind when walking in. I especially liked the insulated bag the food came in:)

I absolutely LOVE their pan fried pork soup dumplings and their chicken fried noodles. Top notch best in the area! I eat there an embarrassing amount of times a month.

The carrot spring rolls came still frozen inside, I ordered the vegan mushroom dumplings and they gave me pork. Never leave reviews on yelp but this was a truly terrible experience.

DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT. I can no longer recommend this place after getting takeout from here multiple times starting from when they first opened as they are very close to me. Their menu items are hit or miss with the highlights being their pan friend dumplings and buns, garlic string beans, and wontons and their misses being their soup dumplings, chicken fried noodles, and stir fried egg with tomato noodles (this came as a noodle soup despite being listed as a stir fried noodle dish and came with very little egg???). However, even with the "highlights," their menu items are carried by their signature dumpling sauce. Their sauce is the biggest highlight but there is now a hard limit of 2 small sauce containers per takeout order, no many how many items in the order. I had a 6 item pick up order for 3 people and was refused when I asked for extra sauce as we 6 items and was "shooed" away with the hand motion and all by the lady working the counter. Their items are generally mediocre compared with their price and without enough sauce I cannot recommend this place. There are much better dumpling and noodle spots around the area like North and Dumpling the Noodle.
