So good!! I know this is a sort of chain, but the food is delicious. Reminds me of Harbor Village in SF back in the day.

The food is outstanding, ambiance is typically good, service is always good. We always make a reservation ahead of time as they're very busy.
One of my favorite places to go with friends.
Everything is so delicious, especially the chocolate dumplings with the sea salt foam (truly could eat that on its own). The staff is always so kind and helpful as well. A bit of a busier restaurant but very nicely established.

This is one of my favorite spots to go for celebrating a birthday or having a good time with a crew from my office! They're fast and the atmosphere is very laid back even when it is busy. I will always come back for the green beans and rice cake

The green beans were so delicious! The service was fast, kind , and efficient. The space is a little awkward since it's inside an outdoor mall but connected to a parking garage. Relatively easy to find. Can feel a bit loud inside with how many c

I'm not sure if Din Tai Fung has changed or if I have changed but I was very unimpressed with my recent visit to the U-Village location. The service from the host and greeters was very good but our server was not very good at all. Then the food
Xiao Long Bao Worth the Line
Delicate soup dumplings, flavorful broth, and lightning-fast service. Lines move quickly; photo menu and open kitchen make reordering irresistible. Great for sharing and sampling multiple fillings.
Din Tai Fung @ U Village and in Tukwila @ SouthCenter.
I'be been to both restaurants and both are exactly the same when it comes to the food and its flavors. Still a wait during certain times so I always recommend calling in for a reservation. Although, after the lunch crowd in Tukwila, we got in p

Came here with my family and the food was delicious and fresh! My favorite was the cabbage cooked with garlic---great umami flavor! The noodles with minced pork was nice and light. I liked everything I tried! The food came in waves and was hot! The s
The dumplings were amazing, especially the xiao long bao.
The customer service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very professional. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. Definitely worth the visit!

You always know what you're gunna get at DTF--good food, albeit at a fairly higher price (especially if you wanna get full lol). Got the typical things e.g. string beans, cucumber salad, soup dumplings, spicy wontons, Shanghai rice cakes, etc.
Long wait, but food is good.
Din tai is always a good choice. Food is hot and always hits the spot.
I love Din Tai Fung.
The menu is fantastic, the food is better, the service and the meals are consistent and reliable and classy for any occasion. I recommend all the food, anytime you can. I recommend the locations in Seattle and NYC. Bring a date and impress them.
best dumpling house in seattle.
noodles and shanghai rice cakes are amazing, and they make the best green beans in town!
Amazing! Really great food and service! I would recomend

Not worth the price, you can find better dim sum for a lot cheaper in the international district
It is always a pleasure to dine here.
We have a few favorites like must of the dumplings , the fried rice, the green beans , rice cakes etc . The service is always good but this time it was chaotic as our waitress changed shift in between our meal so the orders came erratically and also

I mean.
It was OK. Price to quantity wise I feel like mom and pop dumpling shops gives you a better bang for your buck. The soup dumplings were good but man soooo tiny. I could eat 6 trays without getting full. The cucumbers, red oil dumplings and the desse
We came during dinner time.
Waitlist is 2.5-3hrs. We ordered lychee martini at the bar while we wait for a table. We ordered cucumber salad, braised pork ribs, soy noodles salad, green beans, soup dumplings, and mango shaved ice. Food was very good and flavorful. I don't t
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

Great food as always, had a little trouble finding the location as it was up some random stairs. Service was awesome.
The best food, every dish is delicious.
Service is great. Recommend to anyone visiting Seattle.

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
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.
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.
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
We arrived at 11:30, you get a ticket and wait outside for your ticket to be called to get a seat. It was all very orderly and they have an electronic sign that displays the ticket, As we were early and only need a table for two the wait was only abo
popular dim sum place that's popular for a reason.

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
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
* EternalAnt36, 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.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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.
