Lin Handmade Dumplings & Noodles - Reviews

Lin’s has transformed into HAPPY NOODLE AND BOILING SEAFOOD HOUSE, now featuring a seafood boil alongside their delicious dumplings. The charming service remains the same, but with expanded options. I highly recommend trying the HOUSE SPECIAL SAUCE on your seafood boil; it's incredible!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best dumplings and noodles ever. The people working there are the nicest, and I honestly think it’s a better version of Din Tai Fung, even though it’s much cheaper. I visit at least once a month.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the best Chinese noodle place in Seattle. The food was very authentic with good flavor and made with fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the soft and chewy noodle. The staff and owner were also very friendly.

I visited for lunch and ordered the beef stew rice bowl and the pork xiao long bao. The hostess was very nice, friendly, and helpful. I dined in and didn't have to wait too long for my food. I was really looking forward to the beef stew rice bowl, as I hadn't had it in a while. However, I was somewhat disappointed when it arrived. It looked like a giant bowl of rice with stew gravy and only a few small pieces of beef sparsely placed on top. The dish was 95% rice and gravy. The taste was good, but considering the price, you might want to choose something else from the menu. The xiao long bao was good, making it a dish I would order again. The service and atmosphere were fine, so if I return, I'll try a different dish.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. We ordered the pork bbq dumplings, the beef stew with rice, and chicken fried rice. Unfortunately, the rice was dry, and the chicken in the fried rice was difficult to find. The pork bbq dumplings were also not up to par; they needed more pork and less dumpling. Due to these issues, we won’t be going back.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was excellent, and the service was great. Although the chef made a small mistake on our order, they rectified it by giving us a complimentary dish. The overall experience was a 5-star across food, service, and atmosphere.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The dumplings themselves were very good, earning a food score of 5. However, the service was a significant letdown. The waitress was inattentive, often on her phone, and seemed disengaged. This meant I had to actively seek attention for basic needs like water refills, reporting order errors, or even to pay the bill. The atmosphere was rated a 3, suggesting it was neither particularly good nor bad. Overall, while the food was a highlight, the poor service detracted from the dining experience.

My favorite dumpling spot! I love eating here because the texture is fresher. Definitely get the chili oil in your dumplings as it is a muuuust try!

My experience at this restaurant was very positive, particularly regarding the food and service. I ordered the steamed mushroom dumplings and spicy handmade noodles, both of which were delicious and clearly made fresh. The service was also impressively quick. While the restaurant was empty on a Sunday evening, which might explain the speed, it contrasts with another review mentioning slow service even when quiet. I was initially under the impression the restaurant was vegan, but it's not; most dishes contain meat. However, the vegetarian offerings are excellent, making me happy with my choice. I recommend asking the staff for vegetarian options if that's what you're looking for. It's worth noting that some reviews might be for a previous establishment called Broadfork, as signs for 'vegans' with that name and Wi-Fi password are still present, which could be confusing.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The front desk service was very nice and they even allowed me to charge my phone, which I appreciated. However, the food I received was unsatisfactory. The barbecue pork bun and chow mein were disappointing. The dumplings were not cooked all the way through, and the barbecue pork bun had very little meat. The chow mein was overcooked and lacked texture, with very little to no meat or shrimp. My high hopes turned into a bigger letdown.
