    Service is great! Food quality is one of the best, compared to other DTFs I've been to. Not much of a wait for brunch with a reservation.

    We had dinner at Din Tai Fung in Glendale on a Thursday night, my husband, son, and me, and really enjoyed our meal. It's definitely on the pricey side, but the food is filling, flavorful, and great for sharing. We ordered quite a bit! The cucumber salad was YUM; crisp, refreshing, and the perfect amount of spice. We also had the steamed broccoli, plus both the chicken and pork Xiao Long Bao, which are always fun and delicious. The standout for me was the spicy chicken wontons. The flavor of that sauce was AMAZING. I seriously wanted to put it on everything! The shrimp fried rice was another favorite, light, buttery, and really tasty without feeling heavy. My husband loved the fried pork chop. And then... dessert! The shaved snow with mango was incredibly light and flavorful. Just be prepared to eat it quickly because it melts FAST! Personally, I'd love the option of having just the shaved snow and fresh fruit without the mango sauce. But the absolute dessert winner was the chocolate dumplings with sea salt cream. Heaven in a dumpling. The warm chocolate with that slightly salty cream was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, a really enjoyable family dinner with lots of dishes we'd order again. The service was great, but be prepared for a really long wait if you don't have a reservation! When we left we heard them telling someone it was a 2 hour wait! I'm giving it 4 stars primarily because of the price, but the quality and flavors were excellent.

    My usual location for DTF! I like this location a lot because it's located inside of the Glendale Galleria (a mall) and conveniently across from the Americana, so it makes a great family outing! The interior is super nice with a dimly lit aesthetic for a classy dining experience. Food and service is always great here. The waiters are very attentive, constantly checking in without the sense of hovering, and they're very informative for first-timers! The food always hits, no critique needed. Overall, this location is great for casual lunch or dinner!

    Green beans

    Came to Din Tai Fung for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, so there was no wait. We got the pork XLB, cucumber, green beans, pork cutlet fried rice, and chocolate XLB. This was more than enough food for two of us, but we took home the leftovers. The worker was super kind and did not charge us for the green beans because we barely ate it. It wasn't because they were bad in any way, we were just genuinely so full from all the other food. This was my first time trying the pork cutlet fried rice, and the pork was so soft and flavorful. I would definitely get this fried rice again. I also love the chocolate XLB for dessert, and you can never go wrong with the pork XLB. I love Din Tai Fung, and would definitely recommend coming here, especially with a large group of people so you can share lots of food.

    How many hours does they spent in here?

    You already know it's going to be good. This place is the Cheesecake Factory of dumpling houses. Make a reservation or stop here first when you get to the mall, then go do something else. If you're doing a walk-in with a group, everyone has to be there or you're SOL. Also let them know everyone has arrived because that seems to help. I got the text to head back by the time we walked over to the conveyor belt sushi place. Then you check in again and get a buzzer. That's the last step before getting your table. I don't know when this place isn't busy. You can come at weird times and you'll still wait. I won't wait more than 45 minutes anywhere anymore. The funny thing is it never feels busy once you're sitting down. It's calm. Then you remember there are like 100 people waiting outside and maybe don't sit there forever. Order the Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao because if you don't... why are you here? This was my third visit and they still ask if you've been there before. I guess some people have never had soup dumplings before because there's a "how to eat them" card on the table. Somebody must've bitten into one immediately and blasted soup all over themselves. So yeah... don't do that. The waiters are... there. They do their job. Nothing memorable. I thought our food took longer than it should've and even the water took awhile. If you're in the front room, the bathroom is FAR. Like you're gone long enough people at your table might wonder if you're okay. Also the men's room was out of order when I went, which would've been nice to know before I walked all the way back there. Anyway... Cheesecake Factory of dumpling houses. That's it. That's the goal. I'm sure your kid can get chicken fingers too.

    Megan L.

    Food and service are always great at this location! Recommend making a reservation though because it gets pretty busy even on weekdays. You can't go wrong with anything you order but the cucumber and soy noodle salad is always good to start, followed by the pork chop noodle soup, xiao long bao, and spicy pork wonton. Their cocktail selection is also pretty good - the lychee martini is my favorite!

    Suzy B.

    Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter, one of our favorite places to eat. We are happy to have at the bar and Elijah and Sam were amazing. Excellent service as usual. Food is always amazing consistent and beautiful ambience. They did an amazing job with the restaurant.

    Getting on the virtual waitlist is really simple, just make sure you're within 5 miles of the restaurant. Lines and wait times can get long (we waited about 1 hour and 30 min on a Thursday night), so plan ahead! There is free parking as part of the Glendale Galería mall. Service was great! Robert took care of us and gave us a rundown of the menu as first timers and offered suggestions while checking in on us. The food was overall really great!! There were definitely standout items like the noodles w/ diced beef and peppers, the chocolate buns, the pork chop fried rice, and the black pepper beef tenderloin which was my favorite. The dishes standout w/ the sauces they come with!! The veggies like bokchoy and the cucumbers were ok. I also found the soup dumplings to be quite bland and not very hot. Ambiance is cute, location is big and bathrooms and huge and clean!

    Spicy Wonton
    Girlie M.

    Din Tai Fung never disappoints. It's been a few years since I've been back to this location, but the food and experience were just as good as I remembered. We usually order the same favorites: XLB Pork - 5/5 XLB Pork & Crab - 5/5 Cucumbers - 5/5 Spicy Wontons - 5/5 (my favorite) Truffle XLB - 5/5 My son tried the Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai, but he wasn't really a fan of it. I believe you can make reservations or join the waitlist ahead of time. We arrived right when they opened and were seated immediately, which was nice.

    Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao (6 each)
    Diana R.

    This was an exceptional experience with wonderful service, delicious food, and great dining experience. We were served by Joshua who provided amazing experience. He frequently ensured we had water and gave us updates on our items. As this was my first time, he explained the menu and dining experience to me. His service was great! The hostess was also great at getting us checked in. Now for the food. Amazing! This place operates mainly on a sharing family-style basis so it was great to get a little taste of everything. I tried the chicken fried rice, cucumber salad, garlic string beans, chocolate dumplings and the classic Xiao Long Bao (pork). Happy to report that everything was amazing. The little ginger soy vinegar sauce is so great and I love how it's customizable to each guest. The actually restaurant was a bit busy, which was expected. I went on a Friday night and had a 1 hr wait time after putting my name on the waitlist. Expect a little bit of a wait at popular times, but there's plenty of shops to browse in the meantime. I used the Yelp waitlist to wait in a virtual queue which went very smooth. Overall, great experience!

    Cucumber salad
    Michelle G.

    First time trying Din Tai Fung and I loved it! The food and drinks were amazing, and our server was great as well. I definitely recommend making a reservation because it gets busy. We made ours a few hours beforehand and just shopped around while we waited, and checking in once it was time was super easy. Everything we tried was really good, but the chocolate & mochi xiao long bao for dessert was probably my favorite SO good. Definitely understand the hype and would come back!

    Zhor B.

    Din Tai Fung was amazing. Waited 2 hours for a table just to spend $400 on dumplings the size of AirPods. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 My bank account: 0/10 Me 30 minutes later: "You guys wanna hit In-N-Out?"

    String Beans with Garlic
    Monica N.

    Food was amazing! no complaints at all, I absolutely enjoy the string beans with garlic, it's my favorite and very comforting. The lychee martini is a must try! It tasted amazing. Service was great. We had a fairly large group but they were able to assist us all! Ambiance was good! nice and dimly lit. I love that there's seating inside and outside! Definitely recommend making reservations so you don't have to wait hours to get a table!

    Steamed chicken soup is great

    Overview: convenient kiosk ordering, tough parking, delicious dim sum…read more ---- We decided to order some dim sum to-go and got the classic offerings of siu mai, har gow, cheung fun, chicken feet, pan fried turnip cake, ginger beef tripe, black bean pork short ribs, and egg tarts. Everything, and I mean everything, was so delicious. One of the best dim sum places I've been to. The pricing of the items ranged from $8-$10 per item we ordered which is expensive but as a treat every once in a while and for the amount of time and effort that goes into making dim sum, it was worth it. I've tried making dim sum at home and it is so hard! Pricing breakdown: $8 items: - har gow (4 pcs) - siu mai (4 pcs) - black bean spare rib - pan fried turnip cake - egg custard $9 items: - chicken feet $10 items: - shrimp rice noodle roll I think they no longer have the tripe on their menu anymore bc I couldn't find it on their online ordering. Also their chili oil was priced at $0.98, which was kind of small, I would do without it next time. ---- The parking was really tough, luckily I had another person with me drop me off then I ordered and then we double parked waiting for it to be finished. The inside of the restaurant felt like an elevated dim sum place, things were neat and a darker ambiance which felt more intimate if you decided to eat in. We took ours to-go and it was still so good! ---- Overall: if I'm ever back in Pasadena I'll be sure to stop by for dim sum, classic dishes with an elevated taste, pricey but worth it

Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each.

I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.

The lot was full but I found a spot down the street. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and pointed me in the right direction to the bar, which has very cool artwork on the wall. Our server Garrett was delightful. He was so sweet. We both ordered vodka martinis and shared the Vegetable Pot Stickers. Garrett brought us some crispy wonton strips to munch on while we waited. They were addictive, especially dipped in the plum sauce. The Vegetable Pot Stickers were pan seared. They had a nice texture and the vegetable filling was tasty. Apparently, it was prom night and we enjoyed watching the young ladies walk in dressed in decadent dresses. Our delightful evening ended with a fortune cookie half dipped in chocolate. It was the perfect dessert. *Live music on Friday nights. *Small parking lot.

    Not a bad spot that's not in the 626 with classic dim sum dishes and banquet style decor. For…read morethree guys we ordered the following: Shu Mai 2x - Plump! Har Gaw 2x - Fell a part easily Shrimp Rice Roll - Basic BBQ Pork Steamed Buns - Standard and Good XLB - Could be soupier Turnip Cake - Basic Fried Shrimp Turnovers - Basic After tip it was $25 a person which isn't obscene considering the cost of food in general. Service was quick. Tea, hot sauce and mustard were provided without question. It was interesting to see that most of the clientele is Latino families. Love this so much. Not my favorite spot, but does the trick

    I have tried dim sum in the SGV, SF, OC, SD, and even NYC. Recently moved to LA and needed a local…read moredim sum spot. We had a weird experience. Do not recommend. Tea was burnt. Har gow wrapper was too thick/chewy and stuck together. Custard bun was dry. Shrimp rice noodle roll was just ok. The food was mediocre. Do yourself a favor and just make the drive to the SGV. Service was worse than could be expected. We were a table for 2 at 9:30AM on a Saturday. We didn't expect to be sat immediately, but we definitely did not expect for three walk-ins *after* us to be sat before we were. Parties of 3, 5, and 8 were all sat before us. I understand as a host, you must maximize space and seat according to size but seriously? They simply didn't want to waste a *whole table* on 2. After 25 minutes they sat us at a 6-person table in the back corner and she said, "You share this table," implying we would be a group table if another small party walked in. Then, no menu, no water, no napkins, no plates until we asked for each individually. Lo and behold, there were still at least 5 open tables an hour later, and we did not in fact need to have other parties join us... the food was definitely not worth this treatment.
