Liyin Rice Roll Brookline 荔银肠粉

so delicious !! i got combo B with their signature 3 treasure rice roll, their signature porridge, and their hot soy milk. the soy milk was not too sweet and very comforting, and came out first. next was the rice roll, which was yummy although a little greasy and soaked up a lot of soy sauce, so I would advise against it for people trying to avoid sodium. their rice rolls are not the traditional individual rice rolls, but come out almost like an omelette. it was tasty! the porridge in my opinion was the best — it was light, savory, and had a good amount of meat in it. for the price, it was a great deal! would definitely go again.

The rice rolls here are soooo good! Loaded with toppings, silky, and addicting! Good for small groups of 3/4 people or less, and our waitress was very friendly. Can't wait to come back for more!

The food is just so so. The rice rolls were a little too thick. Should be thinner. Soy sauce needed a little bit more flavor. A little bit more filling. The Sampan congee (signature) is not the typical older style with pig skin, squid, and minced meat. But flavor wise is not bad. The stir fried beef ho fun needed a little bit more flavor, but stir fried very well. Service could be better. Overall, worth a try or two, needs some work.

Not crowded at night and incredibly tasty! Plus, you can watch the chef prepare their rice rolls in the back, which was a delight to see. It’s fascinating to watch how they craft each roll with such care.

We had watched the Netflix food show that touted Liyin in Canton (Guangzhou) and were looking forward to trying the restaurant. We ordered the shrimp and roast pork rice rolls, the beef stir fried noodle, scallion pancakes and cold soy milk. We were disappointed with the food in general. The beef noodle was not bad, and the rice roll noodle texture was fine, but nothing special. All one can really taste is the soy sauce in the rice rolls. The shrimp rice roll had some scallions in it which was nice and added a bit of flavor. The scallion pancake didn't have much scallion taste at all. The soy milk had an unpleasant gooey mouthfeel, unlike the soy milk in HK. Wanted to try the congee but noticed the portions are very small for over $10/bowl. We hope their food gets better over time since it is a unique addition to the neighborhood.
