U Lin Asian Bistro - Lynnwood

I'm leaving 5/5 stars for various reasons including but not limited to: loving hole in the wall grub, being partial to no frills (in a friendly way! service, and being committed to supporting family owned businesses. Not to mention liking eating good food, as many of us do. All the entree portions my partner and I ordered were generously portioned, easy to share or take home plenty of leftovers. Service was fast, food was hot! The honey garlic spare ribs are crispy, umami, sticky goodness. The steamed chinese broccoli came with four large stalks, which complimented our dim sum choices very well. We love a good leafy green simple, versatile, nutritious. The way they sliced it made the leaves very easy to separate from the stalks and either wrap around a dumpling or used as a palate cleanser between bites. The best sign that a restaurant is one worth returning to, for me, is this: seeing the employees eating from the same kitchen I am. Seeing them enjoy their work, hearing them share a laugh over a meal, and happily conclude their day in the same space I am. The cook also gave us complimentary sesame balls while we waited for some extra dim sum to go, which was both sweet and unexpected. We'll be returning soon! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was too oily and did not taste like authentic Hong Kong food (it didn’t even taste like Dim Sum). The food also didn’t taste clean. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

It was just okay, that was our first time here, so I wasn't aware of $18 for Mongolian bark meant only for the bark, for this price, rice, a side salad or sweet should come with him. I think for what you get is way too expensive, we won't come back. the lady who arranged our order was pleasant, however, when the order was ready was another woman just put the bag away from me, not a word said and just ran away, I found that very respectful.
