Brookline Linyin rice noodle noodles are not worth checking in

🚫 Boston Food Warning: Li Yin Rice Noodle in Brookline—Skip the Hype Sharing a midweek visit to this newish spot—sadly, more miss than hit. Ordered the rice noodle + congee combo for $6.99 extra. Here’s the honest breakdown: 👎 Dishes to Avoid at All Costs Pork Liver Rice Noodle Roll 🌟 Major letdown—liver was extremely gamey, only edible with heaps of soy sauce and chili oil (waste of money). Roll came as one massive piece (like a rice noodle burrito?)—not sure if this is standard, but messy to eat. Friend’s shrimp and mixed rice noodles were better (🌟🌟🌟), but still not worth it. Garlic Baby Bok Choy 🌟 Ordered expecting tender bok choy, got tough, dark green leaves with barely any garlic flavor. Bland and lifeless—opt for other veggie options instead. 👍 Slightly Better But Not Impressive YouTiao (Fried Dough Sticks) & Soy Milk 🌟🌟🌟 Decent—youtiao was crispy and hot (likely pre-made but freshly fried), soy milk tasted like powder mix but satisfying if you’re craving it. Tingzai Congee (Boat Noodle Porridge) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The only saving grace! Generous portion with shrimp, fish slices, peanuts, crispy bits, and egg strips. Mild ginger flavor (great for non-ginger eaters like me). 💡 Final Thoughts & Why I Won’t Return Maybe my order was off, but the pork liver trauma was real. Colleagues rave about this place, so taste may vary—just not for me. Save your $30 and hit a tried-and-true spot instead.
