Din Tai Fung in Glendale

I think this is the Din Tai Fung that was relocated to Glendale Galleria. The cucumber is really nice and worth the try. And I love the noodle. Its so delicious. The only thing is that its packed all the time. Remember to make a reservation before going.

Of course I got influenced from all over social media but after this for sure I will never stop looking for a din tai fung location everywhere I go…Everything was great, the items we ordered were cooked to perfection and the flavors were on point all the way! I had an amazing culinary experience at this location particularly!

Background: Im Taiwanese, and Ive been to many DTF locations, including the original location in Taiwan, one in Malaysia, and multiple in the US. The food in Taiwan is slightly better, but the US locations still have excellent quality and service, including this Glendale location.I came with my wife for an early birthday celebration on Friday evening around 5pm. They said 30-45 min wait, but they texted me less than 20 min later to return for check in. The restaurant is pretty small (could be why theyre opening a different location at the Galleria across the street), and we had to sit next to the walkway.Our server Ari was super friendly and helpful. Upon request, she brought us a hot water jug along with two cups with lemon slices in them, and a cold water jug with two cups of cold water.We ordered the crab and pork XLB. It was my wifes first time trying it, and she loved it. Her favorite is the chili oil wontons (shrimp and pork), and it did not disappoint. Personally I found it a bit too sweet, but still tasty. The string beans were cooked well and had lots of garlic but were a tad too salty. My favorite thing was the chicken soup appetizer. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the soup was rich like my mom makes it. Very simple but tasty soup - I kept coming back to it throughout the meal. The red bean sticky rice dessert is a 粽子 (Chinese tamale) where they remove the leaf for you. It hit the spot. I wish they came by to wipe our table between the main meal and dessert.Overall, I was very happy with dinner. I cant wait until they open the new location in the Glendale Galleria in Fall 2023 - I expect the ambiance to be much nicer. Im sure well be back soon.

Awesome Taiwanese restaurant chain. Their soup dumplings are awesome, Visited this restaurant in Singapore. Parking validated too

Very tasty Chinese food! The species are combined very well, and the pork and shrimp are always fresh and juicy.My favorite soup is hot and sour soup and I love dumplings. Its always very busy here so consider at least 30-1:30 hour wait time

Got lucky- Wait wasn’t long. The location was beautiful.The staff were engaging and friendly.World renowned restaurant.Delicious food with great sauce that comes on a timely manner.atmosphere & ambiance was nice and well put.So there’s a big window where you see the cooks making the dim sums. Truly loved that experience. Great experience.I didn’t know this: but apparently they validate parking for the garage and also for the valet. Just make sure you ask for it before you leave.Reasonably priced for the amount of food. Everything is shareable, so you get many dishes to try as much as you can. We got the jasmine tea to share, it was nice.Overall highly recommend.

Customer service to the max! We got a reservation weeks in advance and weren’t disappointed with the highly anticipated meal.The food is delicious and the unique experience makes it even better. Soup dumplings lived up to the hype.You also have to try the chocolate dessert dumplings! Best way to end the night.

We ordered chocolate buns for our desert waited for an hour only to find out that it was sitting in the pick up orders. Staffs are rude .. they didn’t even do anything to fix the issue.They got a nice place but they have a very poor customer service.You guys should be trained how to be nice to customers and how to handle wrong services like what we experienced. It was a lot better in the old place in American next to Nordstrom.

This place is the one restaurant that we have to eat at anywhere in the world that has one.Our favourite location so far is the Bangkok location. They all serve different side dishes depending where you go in the world.Our favouritesMustard greensSoup dumplings (XLB)Shrimp fried riceRice cakesCucumberThe rice grain that they use just gives it that extra little ummmmp that it needs to make it different and better than everywhere else!Hands dow best restaurant EVER.
