This is a great place to eat for a special event or group. We were able to get in within a short period as a walk up (I would recommend having reservations rather than walking up though). There is a viewing window out front that can be seen from the mall area to watch them roll out the dough and is impressive. We went with someone that had been to other locations of this restaurant otherwise we may have been unprepared to order. They were very willing to help us order.

The food here is spectacular! There was over an hour wait, but we were able to get seats at the bar. We had the chicken spicy wontons ... excellent. The green beans are phenomenal. I know, it's a green bean, but trust me on this. We also had the chicken dumplings.
*I will say though, I found it weird that the hostess said "Our A/C is broken so it's hot". I went inside, and yes, it was hot. We decided to stay, however. I then asked the server about this and he said "The A/C hasn't worked in three years"!!! I sincerely hope that management isn't telling the host to say this because that is deceiving. It was 85 degrees inside, by the way.

Always book ahead when coming here. They are always busy specially for dinner and the weekend. There’s a reason why, coz their food is good!!!! Our server was Ashleigh she was attentive and very knowledgeable about the food they serve. She gave us a few recommendations and we did not regret it. Try their strings beans, beef braised soup, chocolate XLB, cucumber salad, and more they were all so good!

It has been on my list to try Din Tai Fung as I don’t have this back home. Overall a great meal with great service, but not the most authentic. Best dishes by far were the spicy wontons and garlic green beans.

I was very looking forward to trying this famous Taiwanese chain.
The food was quite underwhelming. Nothing really stood out. Quite average. The soup dumpling didn’t have a kick, the beef noodle, which is a classic Taiwanese dish, was quite weak. The other dishes were very normal.
I expected to try much better food, especially being so popular, and the line being almost 1 hour.

We ended up eating here twice during our trip. I highly recommend a reservation just to avoid the risk of a long wait. Location is in what feels like a deserted mall…not much to do if you need to wait. The restaurant is kid friendly and the staff is excellent. I highly recommend the noodles with spicy sauce and chocolate dumplings, I would SKIP the veg dumplings (no taste).
Anton Subert
The dumplings are more than excellent. I like the variety of fillings. Do not hesitate to order the sweet ones for dessert. Expect a wait or better make a reservation.

Wow! This was an amazing meal. Everything was prepared perfectly. Every vegetable was very fresh. Service was very fast and helpful. Soup, dumplings and so much more good food. Chocolate and Mochi dessert is amazing.
Dana Foley
Insanely good (as Din Tai Fung always is) - super authentic, fresh, and high quality soup dumplings & other dishes. Everything we got was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.
The green beans and pork XLBs are a must-order, and the chocolate XLBs for dessert are out of this world.
Perfection in a meal - just a consistent 10/10.
Make sure to get a reservation in advance to avoid a wait!

We did a reservation just in case since we were going at lunch time. It’s a good thing we did since they can get busy. The restaurant was clean, the staff was attentive, and prices are the same at other locations. Food quality was good. I’ve been to the Vegas and Taipei locations, Taipei is the best. This location you can’t go wrong with ordering. Get the xiao long baos, dumplings, and spicy wonton.

Food is good in general and delicious BUT the serving size and size of the food are so small for the price! The xiao long bao pork and crab flavor is mediocre. The crab flavor overpowers the taste of the pork. If you have tasted pork and crab xiao long bao in Joe’s Shanghai restaurant in New York then you will understand what Im talking about. Joe shanghai’s soup dumpling is the best!!!
Ricky Wong
Food was just OK ! Service was good. Price is top of the roof and super long wait. Not as good as the one in Taiwan or Hong Kong. We can get this level of food in most of the Shanghai restaurants in Vancouver. Doesn't worth the wait, maybe your better off to drive to Vancouver to have some.

The food was excellent! The waiter seemed inconvenienced by our presence (and we are FAR from difficult patrons)! Forget paying with cash! Cash seems highly inconvenient to them as our waiter had to come back and ask for a card because the hostess was too busy to deal with cash (yet another time he expressed that our presence was a bother to him)!

It’s a good approximation of some of the food (dumplings) I’ve had in Shanghai (yes, I know they are based in Taiwan-but I’m just a foreign devil, what do I know?!). It’s also a good place to take visitors. Service is good and the food is pretty good-just a bit pricey for what it is. That said, it’s consistent and it’s excellent for a group because then the table can order multiple different dumplings and share. Chinese food works best in that context (IMHO). This place is also part of Amazon Prime Now Restaurants, so in Seattle, one can place an order and get the food in less than 45 minutes. Be prepared for a wait in person that can easily exceed 1 hour at “typical” lunch or dinner times (our wait for two people on a Saturday at 2:00 was 45 minutes). I like the steamed dumplings and the “glass noodle and tofu puff soup”. Try it out and enjoy!

Amazing place with excellent service and very good food. I went there to meet some friends when I wasn’t hungry at all. Saw how they were making dumplings and just couldn’t help it and ordered one portion. Finished all 10 in a couple of minutes. They were sooooo good! Very recommended.
Kerry Maloy-Longhorn
Love DTF! When we visit Seattle it's always on our list of places to dine. Small group is especially nice if you like to share. Service is great! Expect to wait 15-20 mins if you go during the dining rush hour (well worth the wait).
Robert Humphreys
The food was great as was the service. Even though the restaurant was pack we didn't have too long off a wait. Watching as the kitchen staff prepped the food was interesting and you knew it was fresh. Can't wait to visit family in Seattle so we can eat hear again.
Pauline T Santos
Only reason I’m giving 3 star is the service was great. Food portions are very small and overpriced. Food we’re not as hot as we want them to be. Plates were fine china and we get hot tea and it’s in plastic cups. That just ruined it for us. This place is overrated. Not coming back.
Steve Lee
It’s as good as you can get from the original Dintaifung, I know, I ate regularly in the original shop long long time ago when they only had one shop in Taipei.
Andrea Kirsch
Delicious food, cool atmosphere, amazing menu, so much to pick from! I love ordering a bunch of food and sharing all the plates.
James Michael Enman
The food is always amazing! Every dish is a delight!
Eric Bacon
Waited over 55 minutes for a table, went to the front counter to ask about the wait, after saying "hello" hostess rolled her eyes at me and wouldn't speak, signaling someone else to 'deal' with me before my question even came out. You're not worth it.
Francesco Di Vito
Best dumplings ever!!From NYC to LA this are the best!they are another level,another league, another planet!!
Sydney Rubin
I love this place! The menu is so massive and I love trying new items each time I go. Whatever you do, save room for dessert and get the chocolate xiao long bao!
Dana Peite
Spectacular food and service. Will be a new go-to in Seattle for us from now on!! Brilliant!
Duen Hsi Yen
Best Xiao Long Bao! Outside dough slightly al dente as it is supposed to be. Soupy inside as it’s supposed to be! All our dishes were served piping hot and spaced in time for maximum enjoyment!
