Pad see ew noodles yummy. Fun to drink coconut water right out of a coconut. This place in Chinatown definitely feels authentic. Good food and lively atmosphere.

Went on a whim without reservations. We were told we had to wait 45 minute and it was maybe 30. The cucumber salad was so good we ordered a second plate. Service was very attentive. My wife and I ate the mango snow for dessert - it was decadent and refreshing at the same time. Fortunately there’s another one close to home so we can take the kids as well.

Much better than NYC’s.

I’ve been to this location twice. We had a group of ten. We had several dishes at two different booths. The staff and servers were friendly and tried their best to be helpful. One order of our xiao long bao came out almost at the end of the meal.
I was here when they first opened and I felt they had a learning curve back then. Today, I’ve decided that the xiao long bao here just isn’t the same as in California or Taipei - it’s tea flavor less. It’s as if they forgot the salt. The other dishes were tasty, but the thing they’re known for is mediocre. My friend liked the dessert dumplings but I wasn’t a fan. So, it’s a hit or miss for me here.
The nice part is that you can make reservations here so you don’t have to wait in a long line like in other Din Tai Fungs.

Was our first time going to this restaurant and was not disappointed. They had a large selection of different dumplings and bao. We tried about 6-8 dishes total using our food credit from the Aria. Everything came out hot and quick. The spicy wontons are a must try. Go around 4-4:30PM to beat the rush.

Service was terrible — drink refills took 20+ minutes. Waitress ignored a lot of our requests for sauces and things like that. Usually a huge fan of DTF, very disappointing experience.

Great meal over here! Had pork soup dumplings and crab soup dumplings along with sweet pork short ribs. To finish it off we had the excellent shaved ice and fresh mango with taro sweet buns

My husband and I were staying at the Aria for a conference during a weekday. We tried to get a dinner reservation but everything was booked up a couple of days in advance, so we went for a late lunch instead.

When we arrived, the lady just outside the restaurant was very nice. As we waited for our table you could see the dumplings being made, which was pretty cool. However, while we were watching that, we noticed an employee bring out a new batch of filling for the dumplings and he just piled the new batch on the old batch of filling. The new batch was definitely fresher because you could see the old batch was a little grey in comparison. That sorta grossed us out but I'm sure they knew what they were doing?

The food we ordered: crab and kurobuta pork xiao long bao (it was good but we couldn't taste the crab and it wasn't sealed properly as most were filled with liquid), vegan buns (tasty but only half the bun was filled and it needed salt), sticky rice shao mai with kurobuta pork and mushroom (probably our favorite), chicken wonton soup (tasty), shrimp and kurobuta pork pot stickers (okay but again, some were filled with liquid).

Our waitress was very nice and didn't rush us after we were finished with our food. The meal was pretty affordable considering all that we had ordered but we were hungry not too long after. I love how open the restaurant is. It had great light coming in from the outside, so having an earlier reservation ended up working out.

Overall, we had a good experience and it's worth going back to try different things. I wish we would have tried the sweet and sour pork baby back ribs and some of the desserts.

Staff is snobby and ignore you. Messed up my order for pickup and my drink was completely incorrect. Drink tasted like a flower exploded in my unflavored green iced tea. Food was cold and verrrrry subpar for the high price. Place is laughable really. Ruined my birthday dinner and didn’t want to make the 3min walk back to be refunded to go elsewhere. Way overpriced for the quality.

Ellie was an amazing server!! And everyone was very accommodating and very friendly to transferring a reservation to a later time when available to us being late to our reservation!!! Thank you so much for kindness
