Customer Reviews
Tried a variety of dishes and everything was solid. The Chicken Xiao Long Bao were my favorite, juicy and full of flavor. We also had the chicken spicy wontons, chicken fried rice, and shrimp & kurobuta pork pot stickers, all very good. The chocolate and mochi xiao long bao were a fun and delicious dessert, and the Taiwanese oolong hot tea paired perfectly with the meal. Would definitely come back.
Really enjoyed starting with the cucumber salad (simple and fresh), and string beans are a must! We ordered the Xiao Long Bao, spicy wontons...and the chili sauces that the spicy wontons came in were great. Loved the variety of tea options and you can adjust sweetness level. We had great service too. All staff were friendly and profeessional. Place was clean, and I always like seeing an open kitchen! Will come back!
Boyfriend and I came in with a reservation for 10:45AM. There was a long line already so we had to wait a little to get checked in. I think the walk-in wait in that moment was an hour to an hour and a half but because we had a reservation, we were able to get seated pretty quickly. Service was good off the bat because everyone was very attentive. We ordered Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons, Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao, Noodles with Spicy Sauce, and Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao. Our server let us know that our order was running a little late because the kitchen was very busy in that moment. It did take awhile for our food to come out but it did eventually. This was my first time trying Din Tai Fung so I had some expectations because of the hype but the food honestly didn't taste supe
Located inside the mall, this Din Tai Fung is very spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. We visited on a weekday for lunch and the wait time was around twenty minutes, which felt reasonable for how busy it was. The dumplings were fresh and full of flavor, and the service was organized even with the crowd. I especially liked the xiao long bao, and the chocolate version for dessert was a fun surprise and definitely worth ordering.
Din Tai Fung was a delight to try for our first time. Reservations recommended because wait times can be hours long! The dumplings were so delicious! And the chocolate dessert dumplings were incredible too! The following are what we’d recommend: garlic green beans, tenderloin beef, pork ribs, pork chop fried rice, dumplings, & wontons. There was a window where you can watch a team of professionals make the dumplings, which was really fun to see too! It’s quite an art! Our server was excellent! The food continually came out as it was ready. Our experience was very positive! We would love to return!
