The yum cha is tasty but can get a little pricey. Overall some pretty good dishes. When I went for dinner, we ordered the peking duck, which I thought was pretty tasty but my cousin said it wasn't presented properly - with one slice of cucumber and no green onion, and too much hoison sauce. The lettuce wraps were a bit salty and didn't have the traditional water chestnuts. The seafood chow mein was good, the veggies were a bit bland. Overall it was a decent dinner, but nothing spectacular. One exciting thing was that the bathroom had toilet seat covers!! It's probably more exciting for me as an American living in Sydney and missing toilet seat covers.

The food was always good, especially the weekend Yum Cha. It just seems to be a lot more efficient. I've never been to YumCha (Dim Sum) and had one of the cart pushing "aunties" ask from across the restaurant whether I wanted more. Usually they glide on past and leave you hungry. Imperial Signature is really worth the effort if you're into Yum Cha. It's best after 11am when the carts are full and the kitchen is heaving.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

It's such a disappointment that I didn't get to try it. I got to try some of the other amazing food they offer though. I ordered some of the noodle soups and the xiao long bao, and they tasted far better than any Chinese food I've had in California. (besides maybe in the San Gabriel Valley) The xiao long bao was super juicy and not dry at all. The meat inside and the outside dumpling part of it were put together perfectly and I loved every bit of it. The soups were incredibly flavorful that I could've had many more bowls of it. Overall, the staff was very helpful and all of the delicious food didn't take too long to be made and served to us. I definitely need to come back to try the iconic Peking Duck!

I have a low tolerance for heat and I can say that kung pao chicken was not spicy but the spicy dumplings were a little too spicy for me. Definitely recommend the truffle fried rice, pork dumpling, and kung pao chicken.

During this trip, I happened to want soup dumplings so thought this would be a good time to try. My husband and I were there as soon as it opened so had no issues getting seated right away. Ordering was very easy. I just scan a QR code and can place my order online. For food, we made to sure to get soup dumplings (xiao long bao). We also got shrimp and pork dumplings and one with Sichuan Mala flavor. For the sides we got some garlic stir fried veggies. I thought all the dumplings were okay in taste, flavor, and texture. I really was not a fan of the Sichuan Mala one. It was gamey in taste. It actually made me think I was eating lamb instead of pork. Veggies were standard. This is a place I can say I've tried but don't plan to try another one.

There seemed to be a Din Tai Fung in just about every food court we saw on this trip, so I wanted to give them a go. Two of us shared the Pork Dumpling Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs) and the Fried Pork Chop with Noodle Soup for a light lunch. Neither of us were too impressed. But at least I had the chance to try it and to get it off my mind.

We do this because our hip friends will recognize the location on the Facebook status update, and maybe even 'like' it. There's a qualification: I don't like xiaolongbao. Other than the baffling technical skill I imagine it takes to put soup inside a dumpling, I find them with as little purpose as they have flavour. I truly could eat ten little bamboo servings of the things and remain unsated. Gladly, Din Tai Fung does serve other stuff - the pork and bean dish is my favourite, though the serving is puny, as it is with the passable fried rice. I seem to recall actually getting my fill of it at the Westfield location - the one here was much smaller. Meanwhile, don't order one of the pork buns. It won't be what you want. It's crap. We're in Sydney! North Sydney's a cheap Opal trip away from a heady world of delicious dumplings in Chinatown, and closer still to a classy joint like Uncle Mings, where you can have your bamboo steamers and a crisp lager to go with it. Din Tai Fung may have been something, once, but now it's for people who know no better than to eat at literally the closest spot to the ATM.
