It was incredible, as always. The service, food, ambiance... everything is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely worth every penny. read more

A hit for a reason! Always recommend joining the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time if you can! Service is good and usually pretty quick turnaround between being seated and getting your food even when the restaurant is packed (which it usually is)! Lots of vegetarian/vegan options which I appreciate. Recommend doing family style since it's more fun to try some of multiple different foods. Shanghai rice cakes and the spicy noodles are personal favorites but wouldn't recommend the rice cakes if that's your only meal just because the flavor can get a little boring almost. read more

Din Tai Fung is one of my go-to spots! As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how many vegetarian options they have, and everything I've tried has been consistently good every time I visit. My usual order is the string green beans, cucumber salad, vegetarian dumplings, and the chocolate xiao long bao with sea salt cream for dessert. The service is also always great. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the food comes out quickly. read more

Major Health Hazard: Served Raw, Bloody Chicken I am incredibly disappointed and concerned by our experience at the University Village Din Tai Fung location today. My mother and I both ordered the chicken soup. While eating, we discovered that the chicken wings served in the soup were completely uncooked and raw, with visible blood still inside the meat. Serving undercooked poultry is a severe health and safety violation that carries a high risk of foodborne illness. For a restaurant of this reputation and price point, failing to ensure that chicken is cooked through is absolutely unacceptable. We brought this to the attention of the staff, but a mistake of this caliber should never make it out of the kitchen in the first place. Management needs to immediately address their kitchen's temperature checks and food safety protocols before someone gets seriously ill. I expect a representative from management to reach out and address how this happened. read more

Their pork fried rice's got me on a chokehold. It's so good and I also love switching up the flavor by adding some black vinegar/chili oil combo. Service is always fast and kind. The female staff who was checking in guests today (6/21/26 around 3:25pm) noticed quickly that my order didn't come with the drink I selected so she went to get it before I asked. Excellent attention to detail. For the drink, I had passionfruit iced green tea, less ice and less sweet. The sweetness was just the right amount I was looking for. read more

One of our family favorites! Consistent, quick, and popular. It's a place that once you sit and order on the form and pass it to the server, the food comes out quickly which we like. It can get a little noisy as the restaurant is usually packed. We got lucky and didn't have a wait on a Sunday mid afternoon around 2 at U Village. I do like to watch the window where the dumplings are being prepared. So quick! Din Tai Fung is known for the soup dumplings which are delicious .... But my favorite is the spicy won ton. The signature spicy sauce has a lot of great flavors in it. I like to use the sauce on the other dumplings as well. The most flavorful meat is the kurobuta pork in the various dumplings. :) Enjoy! read more

Did I come here after going to Dough Zone because I wanted dessert? Yes..., guilt as charged. We walked in on a Monday night and got a table for two near the bar really easily, which was great for drinks. We got a lychee martini, which is classic and of course, for dessert we got the chocolate XLB, the chocolate buns and the sea salt cream to go with it. Everything was delicious as usual and really good worth the extra trip. read more

I don't generally review big chains, but I am quite fond of Din Tai Fung. As a picky eater I have always feared venturing outside the box. I don't like veggies, and am a total food wimp. Even so, I am able to find a lot of "Erica safe" options at DTF. My favorites: Chicken Fried Noodles, Xiao Long Bao (Chicken), Chicken Spicy Wontons, Chicken Dumplings, and Kurobuta Pork Buns. My husband and mother ordered the pork chop fried rice the last time we went. The pork chop was delicious! (They loved the fried rice!) It all hits the spot every time! I am a huge fan of Din Tai Fung! read more

I love the food here at Din Tai Fung. It's always a battle choosing between xiao long bao, spicy wontons, Shanghai rice cakes, potstickers, or green beans... so we usually get it all. This particular experience, we had the worst service we have had at this establishment. We made a reservation at 5:45. Upon checking in, they asked if we were all here. We answered yes. We waited outside per their instructions for 5-10 more mins and got called back to the podium just for them to ask again if we were all here. Again, we said yes. We finally got seated around 5:55. We submitted our menu right away as we had filled it out during our wait. Our table ordered a beer, margarita, and sea salt jasmine green tea. The alcohol came out quickly but my jasmine tea took forever, it didn't come out until 3-4 dishes in. We also had to wait 5-10 minutes between our 2nd and 3rd dish. When we were done with our main items, we told our server we were ready for dessert. We had ordered chocolate and mochi xiao long bao with the initial order. Again, we had to wait around 15 min for our dessert. We were about to cancel it when it finally arrived, and the mochi part was underwhelming. It was pretty packed as the servers were running around, but there were also 4-5 staff at all times just standing around with their iPads. For an establishment that is considered higher end and us ordering 10 dishes ($200 worth of food!) between 3 people, service should be quicker and more attentive. At least the food is always consistent. read more

Oh my! What a wonderful culinary experience. A group of us descended upon Din Tai Fung after a film at the Pacific Place AMC tonight. We sampled a variety of delectables to enjoy family style. To begin, we were each served a tiny plate (palate cleanser) of pickled ginger. My faves? Xiao Long Bao (the renowned soup dumplings) and the String Beans with Garlic. Dessert? Yes, please! Try the amazing Chocolate and Mochi XLB and the Red Bean Buns. The service was attentive, helpful, and friendly. Tip: if you happen to be a bit hard of hearing, or value hearing your dining companions, request the semi-private dining area. I wish they'd lose the mega televisions up front, but that's a pipe dream. read more

We were waiting two plus hours for our table but the host was able to get us in before we hit the 3 hour mark thankfully! The dumplings and noodles here were delicious. Highly recommend trying the spicy noodles and soup dumplings. The Shanghai rice cakes were good but needed more flavor. We also got the plum sake and it was nice and sweet. The spicy chicken wontons are tangy with a hint of spice. Tbh, the spice levels weren't super spicy. The service was quick and we got our food within 15 minutes. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Unless you've been living under a rock, Din Tai Fung is a world-renowned Taiwanese restaurant staple known for their handmade soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao). My other favorite dishes are their Shrimp Fried Rice, Green String Beans with Garlic, and Spicy Wontons. I don't think I've ever been to a DTF that didn't have long lines and the dining rooms weren't packed with diners because the food really tastes that good, is reliable, and exceptional in quality. I'm not sure about all their locations, but I was able to make a reservation for my group of 3 people at their University Village restaurant in Seattle. A plus of this location is the ample parking in their adjacent parking structure and surrounding parking lots. Plus, you can do some shopping or window-shopping while you wait for them to call you when your table is ready. If you're craving Asian food and don't mind the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant, go to Din Tai Fung and see what all the hype and fuss is about for yourself! read more

Din Tai Fung - Taiwanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food. Great service. A very special experience. Elegant simplicity. Great venue.

Visited with a group of friends so we shared dishes: vegan dumplings, Taiwanese cabbage with garlic, shrimp fried noodles and sliced chicken noodle soup. The shrimp fried noodles were flavorful and the best of the dishes. The chicken noddle soup was very bland. Dumplings probably would have been better with a different filling. We were seated near the kitchen and the noise level was too high foe comfortable conversation. read more

Great food thought it was not consistent at all locations. We usually avoid going to the Pacific place location. Service depends on location too, they usually very busy so asking for additional services like explaining the food seems too much. We had a server at University Village, who gave us an annoyed look, read more

Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐 always delivers that perfect mix of fun, flavor, and comfort. The xiao long bao are delicate and juicy, the noodles are super satisfying, and everything comes out fresh and beautifully made. Service is smooth even when it's busy, and the whole experience feels polished but still cozy. A go‑to spot whenever you're craving something reliably delicious and a little bit special. Our server Daniel was always attentive too! read more

You always know what you're gunna get at DTF--good food, albeit at a fairly higher price (especially if you wanna get full lol). Got the typical things e.g. string beans, cucumber salad, soup dumplings, spicy wontons, Shanghai rice cakes, etc.. but this time we also tried their new mango shave ice dessert! Although we all liked their chocolate mochi better, we also all agreed the mango shave ice was pretty good + a great palette cleanser. Go chance it yall read more

We had a Friday dinner reservation at 5pm, and the place was already packed! Definitely recommend making a reservation especially if you're coming during the weekend or dinner times. We ordered the Cucumber Salad, Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Pork Chop Fried Rice. The cucumber salad is one of favorites- so refreshing and delicious appetizer. Everything was pretty solid, but my favorites were definitely the Xiao Long Bao and the Pork Chop Fried Rice. The dumplings were delicate and juicy, and the pork chop was flavorful with great texture. Service was friendly and efficient even with the dinner rush, and the atmosphere was lively but still comfortable. Overall, a great experience! Delicious food, good portions, and solid service. It's a reliable spot and recommend if you're craving yummy dumplings and comfort food! read more

Service was wonderful! I would recommend offering a beer option that is non-alcoholic .

Din Tai Fung is really popular and easy to recommend. I always love the green beans served here. We also got chicken xiao long bao, and the chicken & mushroom fried rice, both of which were delicious. The servers were very friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend ending with the dessert chocolate xiao long baos. read more

I enjoy a good dumpling just as much as the next guy, but I can't say I've ever gone full out. Generally speaking I just get them as a side at PF Chang's. I was really impressed with this place though. We picked up a ton of dishes to go for a party of seven, so I was able to take a serious sampling of their menu. Overall about two thirds of the dishes were a serious hit for me. I will certainly have to rethink my stance on restaurants serving nothing but dumplings moving forward. This place has made me a true believer. read more

5/5 as always! This is easily my favorite restaurant, every location has the same amazing and consistent quality.

Din Tai Fung is a must every time I'm on the west coast. Some of the best dumplings you'll ever have. I normally opt for rice over noodles but got the fried pork noodles this time and they were so good! Initially we thought they skimped out on the pork but it was mostly at the bottom of the bowl. The interior looks more causal than I remember. I thought this place was more upscale but doesn't give that impression anymore. But the food is still good so that's mostly what matters. read more

I've been here several times due to its proximity to other shops and parking. This Din Tai Fung is located on the second floor above Joey's kitchen. I like the atmosphere and setting of this place as there are plenty of tables and cleanliness is on par. Parking is also plentiful as it is part of the U-Village shopping complex. It does get really busy, so do mindful and if you're wanting a shorter wait time then I recommend joining the waitlist prior or making a reservation. This is a chain dim-sum place and it is fairly tasty, as a dim-sum you're supposed to get multiple dishes to share with the table (family style) -- I find the prices to be more on the expensive end hence the deduction of a star. In my personal experience, there's better dim-sum places with better prices. Nonetheless, it's a convenient place with pretty good dumplings and variety. read more

Literally the best food ever. It's so good just a little bit expensive. But it's definitely worth it. I would definitely go.

Definitely make a reservation because this is NOT worth waiting 2hrs or whatever.. The workers are great and very friendly and professional. Also love how quick the food comes out. A little expensive for what it is though read more

We came during dinner time. Waitlist is 2.5-3hrs. We ordered lychee martini at the bar while we wait for a table.

I don't think I would come back if the wait is this long. read more
