Din Tai Fung Reviews
Overhyped? Possible? Delicious? Absolutely.
Love the layout and view you get of the back house process as you enter. Dumplings are top notch. Bit of a gripe with some of the prices on things like the Garlic Green Beans but other than that it's more than just a "destination" rest

Our favorite place for birthday dinners! Great service, tasty food, and the chocolate dumplings for dessert are phenomenal!
Best service, best food and best hospitality.
Little crowded, best places will always attract more crowd. Thanks for giving us the good experience.
Din Tai Fung Taiwan
Arrived early before hitting the alleys of yongkang st abit later on in the day to try the famous din tai fung.. Arrived around 10:30 roughly and only had to wait in line for around 20 minutes for two people where the lines were getting busy but movi
We came for my so son's bday.
Our order was completely wrong (I'm thinking we got someone else's food). No one would help us out and bring correct food. Super frustrating!! Was not our fault we didn't recognize they brought wrong food out and no one would help us!

Always wanted to try this place, was able to on our trip to Seattle. Little bit of a wait but it was worth it! I have a shellfish allergy, our server made sure to let me know what was safe for me to order- some of the dumplings are steamed in the sam
Food always hits the spot and is very consistent.
Sometimes it can feel a little overpriced and not as authentic as other restaurants. A must try is the rice cakes with chicken and their dessert menu.
It was just ok.
Food came out quickly but rather bland. Server was super friendly and engaging. Reservations are must. If not, brace yourself for a long wait. Very clean restaurant.
Great service and reliable food.
Be sure to reserve or line up based on your preferred seating time for smoothest experience.

great food and service! had a corner table which is preferable over aisle seating since it's quite busy
I stopped by Din Tai Fung to see what the hype is about.
I got the takeout for below dishes (price as of 8/30): - 2 Kurobuta pork buns ($8.5) - shredded kurobuta pork fried rice ($16) - Assam milk tea ($6) - 2 chocolate buns ($9) When I see the list of items and their prices, I feel that they're all

Been beee before, the food is amazing! The dumplings are the best!! Most dumpling places, the dough is too thick. It's thin and delicious plus the sauces are incredible.

Everything is good, fast service, phenomenal taste, easy parking. Just the waiting time is always long
The food was amazing the the atmosphere was good.
It did have a very long line wait.. the lychee martinis are very good. But the severs didn't really check on us a lot and they took a while to bring out our plates
A must in Taipei
Excellent food and excellent service. We didn't waited as we arrived eating quite late (15h30). The service was quick and extremely polite. The food was simply excellent, we asked for pork and chicken xiaolonbao (soup dumplings) and for fried b
Worth the wait
Long waiting time of 80 minutes, but they were spot on. After 80 minutes we were called upon in mandarin and English. The food came fast after ordering and in portion, not all at the same time, which gave us time to eat and enjoy. Waiters were amazin
Excellent Food and Wait Staff
I went to this restaurant with a party of 8. We ordered over a dozen dishes and all of them were excellent!! I donโt know the names of all the delicious food, but you canโt go wrong with any of it. The wait staff was excellent! Iโd gladly go t
Best Din Tai Fung in the World!
The best place to eat Din Tai Fung is definitely in Taipei itself, it's reasonbly priced & the service is much better! I went to the one right next to Taipei 101 which is really convenient, recommending the xiao long bao, wonton with noodles
Go Early to prevent a Long Wait

Famous Taipei, Taiwan restaurant
Renowned restaurant Taipei, Taiwan, in a prime location inside Taipei 101. Always crowded with wait times of over 30 minutes, but good service and easy menu choices as you wait for a seat.

What's not to enjoy about Din Tai Fung? This is a gorgeous location in a busy part of town but still well maintained and worth the trek up for good dumplings. Great variety of vegan/plant-based options so there's something for everyone. The sesame s

It was my first time trying this place so I was trying to see what all the hype was about. The wait is extremely long, and everything is priced on the high end. Of all the things we ordered, the green beans did not disappoint,
Extremely over-rated.
Ambience was amazing and I felt like I was right back in Far-East...service was spotty -- lots of mess-ups in our order. We did order a lot but the minimum of $1600 for a group of 20 sounded very very excessive and our group had to scramble to hit t

Amazing food and service, it's always worth any wait or distance travel for me. Highly recommend.
Amazing food, definitely a must try if you've never been.

Mandatory lunch as a tourist
We waited 1 hour to be seated as it was on a weekend. As a first-timer in Taiwan we just had to try and see the difference in taste and quality, but we were pleasantly surprised as everything we ordered tastes exactly as what they serve in Dubai, exc
Friendly Nice service
Very nice friendly staff, always smiling and always pack with people. Still the same taste after a year going there. Nice service.
Food was great!
The food was great and delicious. Service was good but somehow, as it was quite busy (as it was a public holiday in Taiwan), would take time to ask someone for help. Tricky, you should have to arrive earlier, at least 30 minutes before the store op
The best Xiao Long Bao
The best Xiao Long Bao I ever had is at Din Tai Fung. The quality is very consistent and always good. Service is always good but could be a bit slow depending on how busy it is at the time. Highly recommend this restaurant chain and this location. Wh

Not Worth the Long Wait!
Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese restaurant chain most famous for its xiaolongbao (steamed pork dumplings). Although the 101 branch officially opens at 11am, the wait for a table at 10:45am is approximately 1 hour! Customers can pre-order their food onl
It's a loooong wait
We arrived at 5 pm to queue for a dinner table. Apparently we weren't early enough and we waited nearly 2 hours. Food ranged from ok to good. Not outstanding. We were ravenous so we were able to order a great variety of dishes. Must order dishes inc

Heard about Din Tai Fung nonstop, so I had to see what all the fuss was about. If you want your dim sum fix or miss your Chinese Mom's homemade dumplings and potstickers, you're at the right spot. Bonus points if you want a boujee scene and want to f
Always speedy service.
Certain 'go to' food I love there include their green beans and the veggie dumplings are great. Not many vegetarian options other than that but still great food. Bustling atmosphere if you like that. Kind of a drag they don't take reservations.
Delicious and excellent service.
We ordered a number of dishes, all of which were fantastic, especially the dumplings.
Our whole family loves Din Tai Fung.
Food is always great and Sarah's service was above and beyond. Really love that we could make a reservation so we could plan around later evening events.

Love din tai fung don't go to dough zone go here! Their green beans, xia long bao, and stir fried noodles are so good. Very family friendly place and I like how they bring things out as they are ready so it feels like a continuous party.
Great service, the food was delectable.
I liked the pork soup dumplings over the crab and pork dumplings. The pork buns were a little bready to me, but that may be how they're supposed to be - I much preferred the dumplings over the buns. I had a salted cream black tea, which was so good.
This is a such a great place for Dim Sum!! So perfect every
This is a such a great place for Dim Sum!! So perfect every time we go. I took out of town folks who loved it as much as I do. It's so funny that if you go anywhere else in U-Village on a Tuesday it is pretty chill. Yet it's packed at Din Tai Fung!!
Excellent food.
Spicy and tasty. Soup filled dumplings made in front windows for everyone to see.
Mashroom bun is good.
Dumplings are good. Fried rice is average. Went three times now. Food is fresh.
Lives up to the authenticity claim and the hype
We had been to DingTaiFeng in a couple of its California locations, all are good. But we hear the original DTF in Taipei is the best, so here we are. Visiting Taipei for a week and this is a top must-try. We came around 4:30p and waited about 10min,
Connect with users posting reservations for Din Tai Fung
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Din Tai Fung. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Din Tai Fung at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Din Tai Fung page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Din Tai Fung to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Din Tai Fung!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
