Our Story

A father's work, a mother's and grandmother's recipes, a family's story.

Becky Lin grew up in Fuzhou, China, learning to cook from her mom and grandmother while discovering the heart of restaurant life in her father's Chinese takeout kitchen.

Years later, she brought those memories to New York City with Lin & Daughters, sharing the childhood flavors that shaped her through handmade dumplings, fresh ingredients, and family recipes passed down through generations.

    Definitely worth the price alone. The garlic butter noodles are very filling and the Wonton soup is packed with a lot of flavors. I recommend for 3-4 people if you ask me.

  • -Nicholas J.

    Favorite spot!! Steamed shrimp dumplings in citrus and cilantro are the best, pair wil iced milk bubble tea… and the soups are perfect. Can’t wait for a winter cold to go for one again.

  • -Phil M.

    Heart warming chicken noodle soup. Lots of real meat, and greens. Piping hot. Small establishment, it feels friendly. I really enjoyed it. If I may… the seasoning was quite high. (A preference, not something wrong)

  • -Nic B.

    The food was amazing. We loved the wonton dumplings and also the brisket pancake roll. The staff were accommodating. The only I can say was I think I would’ve liked to have fried rice with the dishes.

  • -Saad S.
