Ok so I love Din Tai Fung, I’ve been to it in Taiwan. The location here is really beautiful, I like the service and the atmosphere. However, if I were to compare it to Taiwans Din Tai Fung it does fall short of the taste of the noodles and wonton soup 😭 The chocolate xiao long Bao’s were really really good! Better than I expected. The normal xiao long Bao’s are good too but a bit dry on the top. The wonton soup had no taste though. The bok choy was very yummy and the cucumber salad tasted the same as how I remembered it in Taiwan too. But like they do charge more here so I did expect it to be the same or better!

Definitely won't come back here. The food is not up to par versus other DTF locations.
1) We got the crab and pork soup dumplings, and there was barely any crab flavor. On top of that, there's no soup!! Look at my photo of the dry wrinkley dumpling...
2) Our oolong tea came out at the end of our meal, and the tea wasn't steeped long enough so it just tasted like water. Tea almost always comes out at the beginning of Chinese meals.
3) Green beans had no wok hei. They tasted like they were boiled or steamed then tossed in garlic sauce. They also didn't properly trim the green beans.
4) $16 for a tiny portion of noodles that tasted like prepackaged noodles. The beef was also dry. They also asked $6 for a side of the special wonton chili sauce which was crazy to us.

When i tell you my waiter was the nicest man i’ve ever met I mean it. The food most importantly however was equally as amazing 10/10 recommend from someone who has been eyeing this place on TikTok for literally forever.

Din tai fung is always special. We tried in Seattle before and now in NY. The have the same recipe and taste that pull you back.
Lot of veg options to try.
Chicken wontons.., soupy dim-sums., creamy noodles., oh they have a wide selection which are fresh made right in-front of you.

Xiao Long Bao was very tasty, juicy and held all the broth inside really well. Very busy restaurant. Reservation is highly recommended.

Terrible takeout experience. My colleague ordered it online and try to get it based on the provided expected pick-up time. It's not on time and my colleague has a meeting so she has to go back to office and asked me to do it. I can see our food on the shelf but they refuse to give it to me even I show them the online checkout summary page(it's a screenshot shared with me, with order details and matching expected pick-up time) and tell them my colleague's name. Spend me 20 minutes to finally get it.

Went here for the second time for a friend’s birthday. Had to remind the waiter more than once that part of our order was missing. Then got mischarged even after leaving the right card with the right receipt. When I asked for proof the charge was voided, I was told they couldn’t print the receipt and would email it instead — it’s been days and still nothing. The bathrooms were also a mess — several were out of order, and it took forever just to get a turn. For the prices they charge, there’s no excuse for service this sloppy. You can get the same quality food (and better treatment) at a little hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown for a fraction of the cost.

Our server William was amazing!!! He made our first time a fantastic experience!!
Been to DTF in Taiwan so was excited for it to finally open up in NYC. Overall good dining experience but a bit pricey obviously bc of the location. The restaurant is gorgeous, modern and spacious though. The chocolate dumplings were the best of the whole meal, the spicy chicken wontons were pretty good and everything else we ordered were good/ok but not memorable. The soup dumplings were bite size (tiny) but didn't really have much soup as it's supposed to..... It's nice treat for a special occasion bc the restaurant itself is gorgeous but def not for everyday cravings of soup dumplings

Great food! Overall a wonderful experience. I will note, however, that the service was slooowww. Not because of the server. She was hustling non-stop. You guys just need more servers.
I would eat here again. Be ready for a 2 hour meal.
