Din Tai Fung San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
Best dim sum ever.
Everything on this menu is delicious. Only problem is having to wait for a table, otherwise I am always down for DTF.
Din Tai Fung has very delicious food.
When eating in, I cannot recommend more the xiao long bao, the green beans, and the cucumber salad. The service is very good, very patient and very personable. It fits in with the vibe of UTC, which is mostly wealthy and slow. I can't give 5 stars because it is overpriced, even though it might be the best dim sum I've ever had. I also can't give 5 stars because the food is not good when it's takeout. I've eaten here ~3-4 times in and it's always been excellent, and I've eaten takeout even more often and it's subpar. If doing takeout, choose a different dim sum place. When taken out, the xiao long bao loses it's texture and flavor, and I've even had undercooked noodles fused together.
It's hard to go wrong here.
It's a popular and well-established chain for a reason. This location in particular is quite busy with reservations usually booked out at least a few weeks. They accept walk-ins, but the wait can get pretty long. But it's nice that it's in a mall so you have a lot of options to check out while you're waiting. It's also first come first serve in their small bar as well. The food is always consistently delicious with our favorites being the shrimp spicy wontons, pork XLB, green beans, pork chop fried rice and their chocolate XLB for dessert. Service is always good, but shoutout to my favorite guy there Ho. He just has such a genuine kindness, is so welcoming, and despite always being busy, he checks in frequently and at the right times. The location is at UTC mall so parking is easy and free for the first two hours. :)

You should try to make a reservation, we went on a Saturday
You should try to make a reservation, we went on a Saturday afternoon and the waitlist was 2.5 hours long. We decided to wait it out as we had some shopping to do. The ambiance is very busy, very crowded, and there are so many workers delivering food, bussing tables, and waiters attending to your needs. I don't like the amount of lines we have to get into to get into the restaurant. Line to get added to the waitlist, line to check in after you have been buzzed, line to wait to be seated. And there are always a ton of people waiting in line. The food was elevated Asian. We ordered: - cucumber salad: 6/10, I feel the cucumber was not as fermented as I would of preferred. I find that the cucumber served as most Korean bbq places is better. - garlic string green beans 9/10, these were my favorite. Perfectly seasoned and crisp - spicy vegan wontons, these were delicious 9/10. I'm not sure what the filling is but it was tasty. However, the sauce though is the star of the dish. -pork buns, unfortunately these were not my favorite, 4/10, the buns were dry and the filling was a weird texture and lacked flavor. - shrimp fried rice, 7/10, perfectly seasoned, nice balance of egg, but I wish it had more shrimp. Seems like the shrimp are added at the end and placed on top of the rice, it's not mixed in like traditional fried rice. To drink we ordered the Pear and lychee martini which was not strong when compared to other martinis. I really enjoyed this drink. Overall I would go back and try other wontons and noddles, but will make a reservation.
Very good food but it needs a little time to make .
I rated Din Tai Fung 5 out of 5! The food was very yummy and tasty π and the drinks were also very delicious too! Din Tai Fung is one of the best Chinese restaurants! I recommend you go there , especially if you like Chinese food . The food just always needs some time to make. My experience was very good π
Not Good For Business Meetings
Do not make a business lunch reservation here!! They will NOT seat you unless your entire party is present, extremely inconvenient for meeting clients. Also they only have one long line to get checked in, regardless if you have a reservation or not.
Great family outing and meal
We visited DTF today for lunch. Iβve been to Shanghai location so this was second location in the chain. Service and attention to details was outstanding. We were seated immediately ( with reservationβ¦highly recommended). Summarized kings excellent. Crispy pot stickers great. Everything we ate worth doing again including red bean sweets and chocolate buns. Highly recommend Din Tai Fung!
The best traditional Chinese food with international standard
I have visited many Din Tai Fung Restaurant in different place like Singapore, Jakarta Indonesia, Los Angeles & San Diego. The food has a good standard level everywhere and the most favorite menu is Xiao Long Bao (Steam Dumpling) and Pork Chop fried rice. During the weekend this restaurant is very busy, it takes me 2 hour for waiting list but itβs worth it enough to wait
Yum! Must stop!
Great food but probably a long wait! We waited 1 hour. The food is delicious though. Enjoyed the Xiao long bao! So good and juicy!
A unique variation on the average Asian dining experience
We ordered a variety of items from the menu including several variations of won tons, fried rice, shrimp noodles, book Chou, green beans and beef ribs which were by far my favorite. This is a large restaurant and it took awhile for all our food to come, we enjoyed visiting while we waited. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere was clean and inviting although a bit on the noisy side. Overall more than satisfied with the entire experience.
Overpriced
Just like DTFs at other locations, this place is packed and requires a long wait, so try to reserve online in advance if you can. Food is good, but overpriced and overrated. There are other venues in this town that serve better Chinese food and charge less.
OMG, don't read this review. Just go and enjoy.
OMG, The food, the staff, the viewing area. We dined and experienced new things for 2 hours. Our waiter was fantastic and explained the right way to enjoy their fantastic menu. He made recommendation on food we have never tried before, and man is their food awesome. Try the Ribs for an appetizer. Order the Xiao Long Bao, which was recommended. This is simply fantastic! The chicken Wonton was great, the Shanghai Rice Cakes with Chicken was aromatic and simply one of the best Asian dishes I have ever had outside of Asia. In short, don't walk, run, grab a table, take some time and try everything. We have business in La Jolla often, so we will defiantly be back.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue? |
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
