    Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao (10 each)
    Anisya N.

    The ambiance for this dtf is not as nice as the others I've been to but the service standard and food was up to par. We came to eat since we barely ate that day so we ordered the: sesame noodles, spicy wontons, cucumber salad, xlb, garlic green beans. The spicy wontons can't be beat, they're the perfect amount of softness, generously filled and soaked in their sauce. I'm a big fan of the sesame noodles as well for their creaminess and nuttiness. The cucumber salad was also surprisingly flavorful and a good break between the other dishes. While the xlb and beans are good, I've either had better or didn't think it was worth getting again.

    Garlic green beans

    A friend and I stopped in for dinner because neither of us had ever eaten at a Din Tai Fung. We went on a Monday night and arrived before the dinner rush so we were able to sit at the bar and order right away. We shared a plate of garlic green beans and I got chicken dumplings while my friend ordered vegan dumplings. Both dumplings came out steamy hot. The garlic green beans were great, nice and garlicky. My friend really liked her vegan dumplings and my chicken dumplings were good but each time I bit into one, a bunch of hot liquid gushed out which I was not expecting. By the time we left there were huge crowds waiting to get in. I'm glad we finally got an opportunity to try this restaurant. There were a lot of other great looking dishes that people around us were eating, so next time I'm back in the area I'd be interested to try something else.

    Cucumber salad: 7/10 -- personally i think these are overhyped (hear me out!) these would be better if they were sliced thinner and a little crunchier. Spicy wontons: 10/10 -- the star of the show and our personal favorite. the sauce was just scrumptious ‍ Xiao long bao: 9/10 -- the filling was soooo juicy and yummy. well seasoned meat and the the dumpling dough/wrapper was so soft and clearly fresh. Cod dumplings: 8/10 -- the cod was very fresh and yummy. I personally don't opt for cod when i think of dumplings and would rather get pork or chicken so it just a matter of preference really! Chicken dumplings: 9.5/10 -- same filling as the XLB but minus the soup. super soft and yummy. Veggie dumplings: 10/10 -- another great option for my vegans! super filling and delicious. Fried noodles: 8/10 -- a little on the oilier side but the sauce cut the grease well and the meat was super tender and flavorful. I'd get this again! Fried rice: Another for the vegan team! Glad they had this option. No rating bc I didn't try it. Green string beans w/ garlic: flavorful and crispy! Chocolate XLB w/ sea salt cream: 10/10 -- this dish is exactly what everyone says it is!!! soooo worth the hype. i need fly to dubai and get the dubai chocolate one expeditiously!!! Lychee martini Mojito DTF!!!! we had a large party so we made a reservation on yelp and were able to eat in the private dining room which was pretty awesome! I liked their private dining room specifically because you still feel like you're a part of the restaurant ambience. Our server was very delightful and patient with our large party. It helped that all orders are taken on a paper ticket, but she was very knowledgeable and shout out to her for answering all the menu questions we had, especially for the vegan people in our group. Overall amaze amaze amaze!!!

    Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons (8 each)

    Din Tai Fung is a very famous and popular restaurant chain from Taiwan that specializes in xiao long bao (aka soup dumpling). They are made fresh from scratch and you can see the staff members make them in the open kitchen. Besides xiao long bao, they serve various dumplings, fried rice, noodles, vegetables, and desserts. Everything tastes delicious. My favorite things to order: - hot and sour soup - pork xiao long bao - shrimp and pork spicy wontons (the sauce is amazing: it is a sweet and spicy sauce that you can use the extra sauce to drizzle onto other dishes like fried rice) -Chocolate and mochi xiao long bao ( a nice dessert that is like a dumpling filled with lava chocolate, although I can't really taste the mochi part) The dishes are meant to be sharable so everyone can have a few bites and enjoy the variety. Be aware, the restaurant is pricey as you need to order several dishes to be full.

    Pork soup dumplings, Cucumber Salad, green String Beans with Garlic, Sweet & Sour Pork Baby Back Ribs
    Haley S.

    We had a 7:00 reservation and got seated immediately! Food was delicious, service was attentive and the vibes were high! We ordered the cucumber salad, baby back ribs, chicken fried rice, pork soup dumplings, garlic string beans, spicy noodles, chocolate dumplings for dessert, and a few drinks. Our total was around $150 which felt like a very reasonable price for everything we got!

    Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao (6 each)
    Aleina L.

    Great experience! :) Staff all very friendly, especially Brooks! Went on a Friday evening so it was pretty busy, but was able to join the queue and walked around UVill while we waited. Food came out relatively quick, considering how many people were there. The food was good as always :D love love love the choco mochi xlb

    Dipping sauce with shredded ginger
    Kari M.

    We arrived at noon on a Monday and had a 5 minute wait. We ordered the cucumber salad, chicken dumplings and the green beans. The dumplings were great, the cucumber salad was nice but it was a big miss on the green beans, steaming us, but limp and this is not the way we remembered them. It was marginal. I think the one complaint (beyond the beans) was that everything came out separately so by the time we had eaten. The cucumber salad and dumplings, the underwhelming green beans arrived.

    Vegan Shanghai Rice Cakes Chicken Fried Noodles
    Aditi P.

    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.

    Sweet & Sour Pork Baby Back Ribs
    Bon H.

    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!

    Kid friendly!
    Rebecca H.

    It is so loud in there. It's a well oiled machine and they get people in and out. I'm bummed that the menu has really been reduced, and some of our favorites are gone. The best part of the meal was Holly, the server, who was so professional and helpful. I don't know that I would go back to this location given how loud and chaotic it is.

    Chicken Xiao Long Bao (10 each)
    Lulu T.

    My coworker, who has never had dim sum before, was very excited to visit and I was curious how this location compared, having gone to the Taipei 101 location. Overall the experience held up! We didn't have to wait too long, maybe 20 minutes, and we're sat as soon as we got the phone notification. Service was a bit slow but we enjoyed the time chatting and the food came out pretty quick. The meal was overall very tasty, though I wish there was more filling in the large bao buns. The spicy peanut noodles were VERY tasty though, and the cucumber salad was a good accompaniment. Overall it was a fun experience and would go back if someone else was set on going.

    Kurobuta Pork Buns (2 each)
    Erica W.

    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!

    Maureen M.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Din Tai Fung

    Can I check my reservation on line?

    Hello Judy, You can check your reservation online through Yelp under the “Upcoming Reservations”… 

    Gift certificates-are they available?

    They are, you can buy at the restaurant or online

    How do I cancel my reservation?

    You can easily cancel by calling the restaurant.

    Is there a free parking at the restaurant?

    There's plenty of parking at the mall. Free parking garages available.

    Is there a dress code?

    Hi Richard, our restaurants do not have a dress code.

    Can I bring a birthday cake?

    Hi Rick! You are very welcome to bring a cake to our restaurant. If you need any plates for the cake, please notify your server during your visit. We hope to see you soon!

    Does DTF accept any walk ins right now or is it 100% reservation?

    Yes they do accept walk ins though the wait might be quiet long

    Are dogs allowed for outdoor seating?

    Dogs are allowed in the outdoor tent.

    What's the current outdoor dining situation? Is it heated?!

    It is not heated as of 11/25. However it is fully covered so you can eat if it is raining outside.

    What is the average wait time to get a seat in the patio on Sunday lunch during covid times since indoor dining is closed?? Anyone know how big their patio is and how many tables they have?

    Sunday lunch could be 30-1hr wait due to limited tables. Their patio is pretty big! Now they have 14tables with barriers in between tables. Btw they don't take reservations, walk-in only for outdoor seating

    Is the milk tea non-dairy?

    Milk tea at any non vegan place is always real milk. That is unless you request soy milk. Most places will accommodate that because it is often requested. So always request soy if it is not clear on the menu.

    Do they do anything special for birthdays?

    They can put a candle on their rice cake for you.

    Do they have Truffle pork XLB?

    They do have them but we prefer the traditional pork only. Truffle didn't add a lot except price.

    Do the servers come around pushing carts with food (so you can see what they are before choosing), or do you have to just mark the things you want on a piece of paper? We often don't know what something's called and would like to see the food first!

    They do not, but there are pictures on the menu (you have a big picture menu and then mark off on the paper) and everyone is really helpful. They thing with dumplings though, is it's all on the inside, so they all look pretty much the same on the… 

    Do they have things that are gluten free?

    They have two soups that are, but none of the good stuff (dumplings / noodles). Probably some veggie items as well.

    Do they serve shrimp shau mai or any dumplings that are only shrimp? Update: they do not?

    No, Din Tai Fung DOES NOT have shrimp only dumplings. The only seafood dumpling without pork is fish dumplings.

    What is the price range?

    I would say 25-35 dollars per person. Last time I went with one other person, I paid around 63 with drinks.

Both times we ordered the cucumber dish as well as the green onion pancakes because they were delish. The pancakes were thin and crispy and the cucumbers were pickled and came as 2 pieces, wound in a spiral mound. On the first night we had pork XLB, full of bursting soup upon a bite. The fried rice was Ok but Hubby liked more than I did. The second night, we tried Dan Dan noodle. It was pretty spicy but had a nice flavor. We tried the chicken XLB instead. I preferred the pork XLB over the chicken. We also tried the pork pan fried buns, cane as 4 pieces and I liked them better than the XLB. Servers are nice but not very attentive. You place your order on the QR code and they basically bring you the dishes and drinks. Food arrived quickly.

The menu looked pretty authentic, so I was excited to order and dig into the $6 Food Walk special. The restaurant makes ordering easy: there's a kiosk right in the front for takeout, or for eat-in, there's a QR code to place an online order at each table. It's a pretty casual place, with self service water and bussing after the meal. Braised Pork Over Rice ($6) - The menu shows a picture of minced pork rice (滷肉飯), but this is actually braised pork belly rice (焢肉飯). They include two small pieces of pork belly, fatty and flavorful, braised until tender. There's half a braised egg, cooked homestyle (e.g. until there's a green ring around the yolk), which is quite flavorful just by itself, being marinated and braised for hours. Some pickled veggies helps cut through some of the fat. The special part of this dish is of course the meat juices and braising liquid that soaks to the rice. It adds a bit of a sweet and soy element as well as fat to help make the rice even more tender, yet not mushy. (4/5) The food I ate tasted pretty good, and the menu is interesting enough to revisit. Seems like Gourmet Noodle Bowl is another win on the Food Walk front! Note: They also offered a Food Walk $6 "Shin Ramen Bowl" special that I didn't get. Based on the name, is it just instant ramen?
