Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Austin Reviews
Third time.
First 2 times, food was delicious. This 3rd time it was bland and far too expensive for that level.
Most expensive mediocre food I've tried.
Three stars because nothing about this place would make me want to come back. Had a 9pm reservation and you would think we arrived late with how we were being treated. Don't offer a 9pm reservation if you're going to rush us and take anyt

Lin is home to my fav soup dumplings of all time!! My boyfriend and I always get 2 orders so we can have 5 each- pro tip is to ask for the chili oil with them!! It's a cozy, adorable setting with seasonal decorations and lots of artwork. The bes

Went back and had an assortment of dumplings, fried rice, and other dim sum. It was wonderful! Their food is still fresh and hot. Lots of flavors and perfectly cooked. You can tell they take pride in their food. Service is very attentive and cleared
Yall crazy! These prices are nuts! Not worth it.
You can get better dim sum that's cheaper elsewhere. It was like $500 for three people. WTF. Come on yall. Pretty empty because it's just so over priced. Get it together and more people will come.
Food was great and beautifully presented.
Service was pretty slow and the room was really crowded despite reservations. Probably not worth the large price tag for the dishes but a fun, close to authentic dimsum experience downtown
Everything went well.
We had the soup dumplings and the potstickers, both were outstanding. We both had speciality cocktails and they too were wonderful! We had a chicken and pineapple entree that was very delicious. The service was spot on and the restaurant decor emits
I stumbled upon this place as it is near to where I live.
There is ample parking in a lot right outside the restaurant. When you walk in the decor is beautiful and it appeared to have an open kitchen you could look into. While getting sat, there was a beautiful view out very large window. However, the se

Easy 5 stars for the food and vibe, minus 1 star for some hiccups that happened. A great establishment for a girls night - we had reservations for 4 on a Saturday at 8 pm. This is a small spot with an upscale chinese food menu catered to a more affl
Consistency, service, and quality of food.
Lin's has all the key factors. I rarely make reservations and seem to be able to get a table. Maybe once I've been turned down. It has a laid back atmosphere, you are able to have a conversation and not feel like you have to scream across y
So not worth it ! Pray you get a good server and a manager who cares.
We all had a horrible experience. Even the food could not make up for the awful service. We had to tell the server our orders 3 times each; there were 4 of us. I had to repeat my order 4 times. The server's explanation of the different sake'
Lin Asian Bar and Dim Sum
While exploring Austin, my wife and I both wanted some dumplings. So we made a reservation and headed to Lin Asian Bar and Dim Sum. Lin's is a health-conscious eatery serving Chinese fare and Dim Sum with locally-sourced ingredients. We started

My Wife and I came here as I was excited to take her to Dumplings Dumplings. The specialty soup dumplings were very nice. The spinach dumplings were a bit insipid. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken with Cashew Nut. The serving size was very small and

Man, this one is special.
.. To start, Chef Ling's restaurant and menu easily ranks in the top 3 culinary experiences of my life. Our server, Theodore Kyle, ensured a smooth and courteous dining experience and he even picked up that we had a birthday in the group and gave us

My family and I chose to have dinner here and the food was very good. I don't want to reduce stars for this, but want to share an area they could improve in... I'm both Vegan and Gluten Free and saw through a quick skim online of the menu they could

We were recommended this spot by some friends.
It was great! I really enjoyed the soup dumplings (my wife wasn't the biggest fan), but we also got sesame chicken & noodles. I would definitely recommend for a nice date night spot!
Good food, disappointing service
Food was decent - no different than what you’d get in any chinatown in a big city. Nothing creative - just standard Shanghai dumplings or Chinese fare. The service was sub-par for a nice place. We spilled our cocktail right after it arrived, and an
Incredible Dim Sum
We were in Austin for 10 days and tried to eat here once before but it was so busy we couldn’t get in. Luckily the last day, we were lucky enough to get in, and I’m so glad we did 11am on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. Wonderful re

This was my third time here and still amazing as ever.
I love to sit outside but it had a lovely inside. The service was fast and friendly. The food was so delicious. My favorite has always been the soup dumplings but the general Tso chicken was also flavorful. I love the lychee martini as well. Make sur

The reason for my 2 star review was because I ordered the scalloped pancake and it was hard as a rock but the curry dipping sauce was really flavorful but the prices for the food was really high and the food was mid. The lo-main was really greasing.

It was a cute restaurant but considering the prices what for you get, it's not worth it. Super overpriced. Service was okay. Save your money and go to P.f. Chang's.
Good food & friendly service.
It gets busy so best make a reservation but tables turn over sooner rather than later if you can wait.

This place was very cozy and quite popular on the weekends, reservations are recommended, The food is good, the pricing is a bit higher than expected, but the portions are also a bit bigger than other dim sum places. We tried char siu puff pastry an

Ambiance is great as is service! The food was also tasty.
We ordered as a group so I got to try quite a few dishes! The Shanghai soup dumplings were our favorite! The broth in the dumplings is rich and flavorful. The shrimp with mushroom bao had a really nice filling but the bao bread wasn't bao bread. Cris

Quaint old house setting with seating in front covered porch and bar. This is a near, dining like experience with cloth napkins and other nice table settings. It feels a little cramped inside with the seating so close, so it has a bistro effect rathe
Great find!
Never had Dim Sum, which is why we chose this place. It was GREAT! We had the soup dim sum as an appetizer and it didn’t disappoint. Entrees were not bad either. Sat outside, appreciate the heaters provided, as it was a cold night. Can’t wait

The hype is correct! I am beyond happy with the quality of food! Pipping hot soup dumplings with homemade broth! The service was fast and staff knowledgeable. There is a waitlist for a reason and your taste buds will thank you.
Not the place for traditional dim sum
On the hunt for good dim sum in Austin and the chef’s bona fides put this one on the list. Took along a friend who has never had dim sum before. I, on the other hand, grew up in the school of Join The Weekend Crowds For Cart Service At The Place Wh
Delicious Asian Meal, Soup Dumplings!
This place is so cute! The good selections are great and I love to get a few dishes to share. The soup dumplings are a must. They also have great cocktails. Perfect for lunch or dinner.
DIMSUM!
Probably the best dim sum in town.. I have been to other locations as well, but this one is top top top notch. Service is always good, food is speedy, and I never feel rushed. The drinks are decent but not a big morning drinker anyway
Dim Sum lunch
We loved everything about this place! Great atmosphere and even better food. Busy but we were able to be seated right away. We will definitely be back!
Christmas lunch
We had an amazing Dim Sum lunch here Christmas day. We shared 13 Dim Sum items and all were great. Service was as usual outstanding. This place really delivers a true Hong Kong Dim Sum experience. Unfortunately, I seem to have left my glasses th
Amazing as always
We go about once or twice a year, everything we get is always fresh and delicious, I love how the staff works as team to get the food orders our hot and fresh. Nobody stands around!
Good Asian Food
I had lunch at Lin Asian Bar while visiting Austin for work. Service was friendly and food was good. I had Kung Pao chicken and it was very good, really tasty sauce. They have a full bar but it was a little early for drinking. Prices are reasonab

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
