Yet another addition to the roster of options on the West Side for fans of Burmese cuisine, this place is run by the same folks who operate '''Lin Asian Market''' on Grant Street (and, in tandem with the December 2014 opening of the restaurant, they also inaugurated a second grocery store location next door). In reality, Thai dishes comprise more than half of the options on Lin Restaurant's menu: mostly the standard lineup of curries, fried rice, and noodle dishes available with chicken, beef, pork, or seafood, but with a few surprises mixed in if you look. However, it's in the Burmese options where Lin's cooks really strut their stuff in terms of creativity and authenticity: savory ''samosas'' are the star of the show in the appetizers department, ''le peth thoat'' tea leaf salad is present in a version that rivals the one at '''Sun''', and ''mohinga'' is made the authentic Burmese way. Copious options are available for vegans and the gluten-free crowd, but those who like spicy food might not be quite satisfied with the preparation here (for best results, have them make your food Thai hot). Service is friendly as can be and carefully walks the line between attentive and annoyingly obtrusive, and the pleasant if minimalist decor looks as if a spartan selection of Asian restaurant accoutrements (silver elephant engravings and the like) were grafted onto the template of a homestyle country diner, with walls painted pink and covered with charming wainscoting around the bottom.
