Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Din Tai Fung Restaurant from around the web.
"A few fortunate diners will be able to get an order of the restaurant's trademark dish: No. They are literally full of broth -- they look like tiny quivering water balloons, and they're served in soup because they'd barely survive sitting on a plate...."
"DTF's pork dumplings are amazing, however one of the reasons that I feel that way is actually how thin the dough is (which someone else complained about). In addition they are one of the few or only places that I have seen that actually weigh each pc of d..."
"The pork chop was a little dried out, but I thought it was still edible. The rice was nice and fluffy. This was really good with the aforementioned cooked spinach...."
"In a land far far away (far, if you're from the SF Valley and Orange County), there exists a place that beckons people from all over Southern California to experience its culinary treasures - the Valley of San Gabriel. It's a long and arduous 45-minute jo..."
"After it was safely perched in my Chinese soup spoon, I nibbled the top off to expose its juicy innards and then sipped the hot soup welled up inside. What's left after the last drop of broth is gone, was a fatty morsel of pork and the supple noodle skin...."
"Like the Pork Chop Fried Rice, their Shrimp version uses the same expert execution of fluffy, perfectly balanced Fried Rice (not too oily, not too dry), fragrant with accents of Green Onions and just the right amount of Egg, but mixed with large, butterfl..."
"Din Tai Fung offers four varieties of sautéed vegetables. We normally order the string beans, which are simply seared with minced garlic. We ordered the baby bok choy, which was cooked the same way, crisp and delicious...."
"I'm not sure if the food quality is any different as everything was delicious. The service was a bit slower due to the size of the restaurant I assume...."
"i walked into the shop, which looked like a cross between a candy shop, a drugstore with a soda fountain bar where you could sit on barstools and an apothecary shop (must be all the wood furniture in there). i sat myself comfortably down on a barstool and..."
"The giant shrimp in a spicy chili sauce was also extremely tasty, so much so that we brought the extra sauce home. ..."
"No trip to Los Angeles is complete without a visit to Din Tai Fung Dumpling House in Arcadia. DTF's roots trace back to Taiwan, but has since spawned into Japan and China, both in which it is experiencing immense success; its location in Arcadia, the only..."
"I finally went to Din Tai Fung which has been on my "To Eat" list for so long. Arcadia is pretty far from Mid-Wilshire LA and admittedly I do not get up early enough on the weekends to try to get the earlier, shorter than 1 hour wait that is a common char..."
"Over the weekend, I went back to my home town, Arcadia to have lunch with my mother. She really wanted to take me to Café Deco, a restaurant that opened recently on Baldwin Avenue...."
"So in summary - if you like Din Tai Fung, you may want to check out the new location. Perhaps if the wait is too long at the original, you can cut through the parking lot (by walking not driving) to see how long the wait is at the new one...."
"Not only were we glad to be served the pork and less interesting vegetable dumplings quickly, but we also shoveled in the sesame noodles that come beautifully folded like a delicate garment, American broccoli with garlic, and dried string beans as soon as..."
"These are the remarkable soup dumplings, tiny pockets of dough filled with deliciously seasoned meat with a spoonful of fragrant broth in each. You bite in, the hot juice carrying the flavors to your palate, the chewy texture of the dumpling extending the..."
"you can spend your waiting time pressing up against a handsomely curved wall of glass, behind which squadrons of busy dumpling technicians frolic like porpoises at Sea World. It"s the greatest dumpling show on earth...."
"While this XLB hub turns out a quality product, we’ve found another hotbed that—dare we say—we like even better...."
"I personally feel that the best way to evaluate a Cantonese restaurant is to observe how the chef renders his stir fry skills on meat, seafood and greens. If done correctly, these three food groups should retain its fresh, succulent and yet tender texture..."
"outpost of a famed Taipei dumpling house, the hustle-and-bustle atmosphere only adds to the authenticity. Waitresses balancing dumpling tins rush between tables, while diners watch chefs wrap and steam in the glass-fronted kitchen...."
"Although our primary reason to visit Din Tai Fung was their soup dumplings, both their pork and crab/pork XLBs, we decided to order a few other items as well. Since most of us have never had their regular non-soupy dumplings, we got the chicken dumplings ..."
"PS - This trip happened a month ago at this point, and I’ve had a chance to reflect on the differences between New York and California. Los Angeles has a high end patisserie called Boule that makes phenomenal chocolates, pastries, candies and even i..."
"The vegetable and pork wonton soup is also excellent. The wontons are big, floppy and loaded with bright green bok choy leaves...."
"The texture of the skin is so soft, I was afraid I was going to break the dumpling just holding it. These are good but I don't think they deserve worldwide acclaim...."
"The dumplings are small about bite sized. They are filled with nicely flavored pork. The juice is very good, of course it has a pork flavor and was hot...."
"Lunch at weekend is like a 40 minutes to 1 hour wait (unless you go when they open at 10:30AM)...."
