Lin and Daughters was founded in 2023 by Becky Lin, with the opening of her first location in the West Village. A second location in Flatiron followed in 2025. The name is a tribute to Becky’s father, a former chef, and her two daughters. The menu draws inspiration from Becky’s diverse culinary experiences - growing up in China, watching her mom and grandmothers cook, working alongside her father in the family restaurant, cooking for friends and family, and eventually selling her food online.
