    This is the more high-end looking Din Din Dumpling location in Union city, their menu selections are a subset of the original Din Din Dumpling shop and based on the interior decoration of the restaurant, it is quite obvious that they are trying to make this location looks more like a cheaper version of Din Tai Fung. With that said, the quality of their food are quite good, we ordered the Pork & Crab XLB, Hot oil noodles with Pork, and Northern Style Crispy Pork with Peach Sauce. The fillings of the XLB are very juicy & delicious, and the noodles are also very good, the Crispy Pork is like an upgraded version of sweet and sour pork that did not impress us. but overall we are pretty happy about the dishes and would recommend them.

    This was our first time dining at the Fremont location and the food and service were just amazing! The experience was completely different and so great compared to the other location we visited previously. We requested a bigger table and were given one after we entered our spot on the I pad near the entrance. We ordered: 2 Xiong long bao Fish in black bean sauce White rice Shrimp and pork dumplings in spicy sauce Tea Hot and sour soup Chocolate strawberry xiong long bao Everything was delicious! The black bean sauce was smooth and full of umami. The fish was soft and succulent. Xiong long bao were beautifully encased in a thin wrapper with a good amount of filling. Best original xiong long bao in the Bay for sure! Tea was delicious and all other items including the white rice were amazing. Service was quick and very humble. I love it when the dining experience is wholesome. We left with full stomachs and lots of good memories. We'll definitely be back

    Pan fried beef pie
    Daniel F.

    Ordered the zhajiang noodles, pan fried ground beef pie, and pork xiao long bao. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but the sauce for the noodles was able to soak into the noodles and made it very tasty. The pan fried ground beef pie was savory, but would have liked some more veggies in there to complement the beef. The Xiao long bao were amazing, so much soup was in them, and the meat inside was perfectly seasoned and delicious!

    This has a more upscale ambiance than the older one, but the resturant is smaller, so fewer large tables which is what this food is best for. Servers are also newer, seems less coordinated. Same great food though! Go for dumplings and noodles.

    I've been to the Din ding Dumpling location in Union City before this, and I have to say, maybe because this one's a little bit newer that I had a more pleasant experience. The other one was kind of in a rundown plaza, but that didn't really bother me. It was more so the fact that in the other location the seating was just all very close to one another. I was a bit worried that there would be a wait, but thankfully we only had to wait maybe five minutes prior to getting seated on a Saturday around noon for a party of 2. We ordered 2 orders of the XLB (one set for each of us) and the spicy seafood noodle soup. The XLB's are great and it's what made me come back. The spicy seafood noodles were also enjoyable but we weren't able to finish the whole thing and ended up packing some to go which was a bit unfortunate because I forgot to separate the noodles from the soup so the noodles were pretty soft after that. ~~Parking: The restaurant is located in a nice area in Fremont and there's plenty of parking because there's a lot of street parking, but you can also park in the lot across the street and walk over. ~~Service: Good. This was probably the one time where it was the most attentive I'd ever received at an Asian restaurant because they kept refilling our water and provided us with napkins as we needed them. Throughout our less than one hour stay, they probably refilled our water five times. ~~Best Part: The XLB. I love how they're able to get the dumpling skin so thin because there are other places where it's just a bit too thick for my liking. The soup is great as well. ~~Return: Yes

    Spicy Pork Wontons
    Alex V.

    Came here with friends and had a very good meal. This restaurant is in a mixed area, sort of mixed with apartments and some other food areas, but decent parking nearby, though it can be difficult to find parking right in front of the place. It's pretty nice inside, though the tables are on the slightly smaller side, however the booths are spaced enough that if you're on the bigger side (like me), you have some space to eat. The food itself is f'n delicious. We got a lot of different things, XLB, shrimp toast (omg this was soooo good), spicy pork and shrimp wontons, some cucumber thing, combo lo mein, and all of it was pretty delicious. It's definitely not as good as din tai fung, but for the price, it's a lot better deal and much better. The service was pretty excellent and SUPER fast. We sat, ordered around 8 things and were out in 40 minutes or so. The only negatives were the lack of drinks (soda, apple juice and thai tea for the most part) and they brought the check out too soon, since we were getting ready to order more food. We will have to go again!

    Pork Xiao Long Bao
    Sherman L.

    Food 5/5 - Ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, salt & pepper pork chops, shrimp & pork pot stickers, and dry-fried string beans with pork. Everything was delicious. Pork XLB skin was thin and had a good amount of soup. Salt & pepper pork chops were fried nicely and well seasoned, not too fatty. Shrimp & pork pot stickers were juicy and pairs well with the dipping sauce. Dry-fried string beans with pork have good "wok-hei" and the chili oil gives it a good kick. Price $$ - Price is fair for the portions that were served. Service 2/5 - Service could be improved. We felt pressured to order quickly, eat and leave. Servers were quick to clean your table but didn't offer to refill waters. The check was placed on our table shortly after our last dish arrived, while we were still eating. Ambiance 4/5 - Interior is good with Chinese themed decor. Overall - Had a mediocre service experience, but for the quality of the food it's worth visiting again.

    Allium noodles

    Din Ding is an imperious name for a restaurant: the din were the ceremonial bronze vessels that symbolized imperial power in Ancient China, and ding means the peak, as if they were the cross surmounting the crown. I think they succeed in these lofty aims. The little basket buns are incredibly juicy and flavourful. The allium noodle dish was amazing; I could not eat enough of it. The plate of green beans were huge and very tasty. The beef noodles paired incredibly tender beef with chewy noodles. The peanut and pickled cabbage appetizer was good. The cucumber salad was rather flavourless and the only real disappointment. Every other dish was well-balanced, with no overpowering flavours. I could only wish my stomach were bigger, so I could eat more.

    Twisted cucumber Sliced pork with skin Braised beef noodles
    Lin M.

    Delicious! Was my first time! Ambiance is okay, waiters are constantly cleaning and moving chairs but the decorations are nice. Service is fast but not the friendliest Food: 5 stars. We even ordered more of the free appetizer, it was so good! We ordered the twisted cucumber, sliced pork with skin, pork and crab XLB, and braised beef noodles, with 2 Thai teas Everything was superb. Standout for me was the soup.

    Minced Meat Noodle
    Emily N.

    Came for weekday lunch, not busy but service was slow with only 2 workers. Water wasn't refilled, and had to ask multiple times for the check. The steamed dumplings which is what they're known for, came out warm not hot! So it wasn't as good. Noodles were ok.

    Braised beef brisket
    Eunice T.

    Din Ding never disappoints. It's been years since I've had it, so I'm glad it tasted as good as it does from my memory. I didn't even notice they closed the Fremont location previously, but this new location is pretty nice. Parking is okay - you just might need to walk a bit and do street parking. The wait on a weekend night wasn't too bad. I think we waited for 20 min or less. Service was fast. We marked the menu while we were waiting so we handed it to them right after we were seated. We got our 2nd dish before we were even done taking turn washing our hands. The noodle was satisfying. XLB was fairly big and very soupy. The shao mai was meaty. Braised beef was VERY tender. Their spicy sauce is pretty good too. We ordered a bit much for 3 people, but we just completed the mission peaks hike, so we finished it all.

    Xiao long bao
    Aaron C.

    Summary: * Takeout * My favorites were the pork lo mein and the sliced pork * Good, would come back Sliced garlic pork with skin FYI this had a fair amount of fat along with the skin (as advertised). I liked it though, especially adding it to the lo mein. The lo mein noodles were tender and decent balance between noodles and cabbage. I just kept eating it. While normally I applaud a meaty dumpling, for some reason I found the beef and onion shao mai so dense, that I preferred the lo mein. The xlb were okay, nothing stood out either way.

    Tomato and Egg Noodles
    Sherica G.

    When there's a craving, there's Din Ding! Of course, we ordered our usual, fish dimpling, sio mai and xiaolong bao. But this time we tried aomething new, tomato and egg noodles. And this was delicious. Something about the egg and tomato flavors that perfectly matches to enhance each other's flavors. Another go-to menu in the books!!

    Do they allow dogs inside the restaurant? o.k. thank you. Just wondering why the Yelp page states…

    No. The seating and tables are too close together and sanitation of the restaurant wouldn't allow dogs.

    What's the phone number to this location? I tried calling the number listed on the website (same as the one where on Yelp) to make a reservation and got some lady answering saying "No English" and hung up.

    The phone number is correct. I called once to make reservations, and they told me to just come in. They weren't busy at the time so it's hard to tell if they don't take reservations or if it was just because they weren't busy.

    As of this writing (12/30/24) do they serve dim sum on carts? If so, is it for lunch or dinner or both? Thx

    Nope. You order from a menu

    Do you take reservations?

    Yes

    Do you use MSG in your food items?

    Extra MSG.

    Is there a parking?

    There is surrounding street parking

    Do they have lunch menu?

    No. Everything is the same price at lunch and dinner service. You might be thinking about Dough Zone, which does have lunch specials.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    I don't think so.

Mushroom with Gluten Noodle - 4/5 The mushroom and gluten were well prepared, though the flavor was a bit on the mild side. The noodles were the thin type, probably just standard packaged noodles. Shanghai Style Fried Prawns - 3/5 There are two options: one with regular prawns, and one with river shrimp. We chose the river shrimp. The overall flavor was much milder than the authentic version--it lacked sweetness, and the dish didn't have the rich red and glossy look it usually should. Bean Curd with Vegetables - 5/5 This dish was a pleasant surprise, capturing the taste of spring--very light and refreshing. Lightly drizzled with sesame oil and chilled for a while, every bite felt fresh and cleansing, with a lingering aroma. Shanghai Veggie and Pork Rice Cake - 5/5 Highly recommended. The rice cakes were stir-fried to a perfect soft and chewy texture. The combination of vegetables and shredded pork brought out a deliciously savory flavor.
