Din Tai Fung in Los Angeles

Incredible service, but the wait can be quite lengthy! I highly recommend securing a reservation several days in advance to avoid the 90-minute wait we experienced. While waiting for our table, we decided to do some shopping since it was Din Tai Fung, after all.Our server recommended sharing plates, and she was spot on. Most of the dishes are designed for more than one person, and we found this to be a wise choice. We ordered a variety of dishes, including their renowned dumplings, which did not disappoint. However, the hot soup was a tad too oily for our taste. On the other hand, the noodles were an absolute standout.While the rest of the food was quite good, it didnt particularly stand out. Nevertheless, considering how busy the restaurant was, the prices were reasonable, which pleasantly surprised me. The exceptional service was the best thing about this restaurant. Although the service surpassed the food in terms of excellence, Id hesitate to wait 90 minutes for a table at Din Tai Fung again. Its undeniably a great place, but Id carefully weigh my options before returning.

My girlfriend brought me here because it’s her favorite chinese restaurant in LA and I definitely agree with her! Great place in a great location inside a beautiful shopping center. The restaurant inside is huge and with a beautiful design and atmosphere, loved the big window on the kitchen in particular. Food is delicious with a wide choice, the only regret is that we didn’t eat more to try more things but we were super full! If you like chinese food this is the place!

Our server Taylor was so great. The food was okay. I did order everything vegan and she was very knowledgeable so that was great. The vegan options just felt like the same filling but in different forms. I didn’t like the cucumber dish.

Very good service.We checked in and were told 30 minute wait, but they send a text when theyre ready, so you can shop or walk around the mall while you wait.The wait staff were attentive.The food was great. Lots of small plates for sharing.A few vegetarian options.Not really any non carb options.Well flavored.

Loveedddd the food here. Dining and staff is 10 out of 10 for me. And you have a nice view of the buildings outside. Great experience. The chocolate dumplings with the cold foam was delicious ordering more next time for myself☺️ the dumplings are sealed so perfectly. Everything meal was packed with flavor. Along with a dipping sauce that your waiter can make for you.

The dumplings were delicious! Juicy. It was cool seeing the chefs making the dough and putting together the food near the entrance. Definitely share the dishes. Worth the wait.

Worth-it tier: A-. Visits: 2. Awesome experience as always. Everything feels perfected and precise from the service to the food.Visited this location twice but also been to other din tai fungs. The fried rice was really good and unique, it does have a more eggy taste so if you don’t like eggs then try something else.String beans are also a highlight. You can really taste the wok-hay.Everything else met or surpassed expectations. This restaurant has a high standard across all its locations. Overall, would highly recommend.

It is always such a delight to come here!! Their special Xiao Long Bao is a must. Server is always so polite, and they have some of the best dumplings I’ve ever tasted! Red Bean Sticky Rice is always so good if your a fan of red beans!! So delicious!

Absolutely delicious! 😍Everything here was delicious. My must try recommendations would be the spicy dumplings, and the taro or chocolate desert dumpling.Great location - attached to an outdoor mall to help you digest after inhaling all the food.Highly recommend.

The beef is so tender in the beef noodle soup. The spicy wonton is well consistent across all their branches I have been in Dubai, Sydney, Singapore, Bangkok! The place is immaculate- a short wait but they get you seated quick without reservation!
