“It had been at least 5 years since we've last been to Din Tai Fung. We enjoyed our meal. I think I liked the Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons the most out of all the things we've selected. For dessert, we loved the Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao, and I could have finished an order of 5 on my own because of how good it was. I'm not sure when we'll be back, but I eventually want to try everything on the menu at least once.“
“This place does not need any presentation as it is a famous international asiatic dumplings chain. The service was great as well as the food quality. We did eat the vegetarians dumplings and they were really tasty. I do recommend this place in case you want have an asiatic lunch or dinner.“
“As a first time visitor to this restaurant I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and professional. Food was very tasty and delivered promptly. I especially liked the Black Truffle & Chicken Xiao Long Bao. Such a great first time experience. I will definitely come back and would highly recommend eating here. Remember to book a reservation. They fill up fast.“
“This place has definitely become one of my favorite spots for coffee and bubble tea! If I could give it 100 stars, I totally would. Not only are the food and drinks amazingly delicious, but also the people who work there provide such a wonderful service and experience that makes you feel welcomed. Every time I go I try to get something different (since there are so many options), but I absolutely love the Nutella Taiyaki and the tiramisu coffee :)“
“Update 2023 sep:Ordered Braised pork rice, the braised pork was so little on the top and the rice texture was so wrong. Give 4 stars cuz the flavor is alright and I wish they read this review and have better quality control. A year ago was really good.2022 reviewFoods here are SCRUMPTIOUS and v authentic Taiwanese food!! cant believe I didn’t know this place earlier!“
“Excellent food with outstanding service.On our way out after indulging in most of the menu nearly every staff member in the dining room thanked us.Thank you again Joon for outstanding service!Parking: There is easy access to parking on Bell Square across the street. Or paid parking in Lincoln Square with validation from your server.“
“Super authentic place to get Taiwanese food!! We've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. They sell everything from shao bing to purple rice rolls, which are all delicious. Frozen and dry goods are also sold here. The owners are very kind and offer great service. I would definitely recommend coming here to buy Taiwanese food.“
“My favorite place to take important guests for a nice meal and a nice conversation. My favorites are as follows:- House fried rice- Buddha's delite- Crispy noodles with white sauce- Black pepper beef- Orange chickenThe service is stellar. Our glasses of water is never below half-full. All of the silverware is always clean. The water never tastes like dish soap. The servers are always helping each other to make for a great experience. The food here is wonderful. We've been going for over 20 yrs, and it hasn't changed at all.“
“Food is not bad but sometimes the flavor can be a little bland. Good for a casual quick bite. They have gacha machine if you spend over 25 before tax - very fun! They also have affordable menu items to order like popcorn chicken, braised pork over rice - nothing to write home about but flavor is good! Personally i think if you're picking your own items for them to cook then YGF up the road has more selection and better flavors. I like the ambiance here though, and it's usually not as crowded.“

“Hangry Panda is a dream come true! I have celiac disease, so it’s not very easy for me to find places where I can eat safely and know I won’t be gluten poisoned. I have 100% trust in Hangry Panda when it comes to preparing delicious GF food! Everything on the menu is good, their GF fried chicken is like a balm to my soul after years of sad GF fried chicken, their Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich is probably my favorite thing on their menu. The wine drunk pork belly is also killer good though and so is their chicken teriyaki! I also really like their honey milk tea, it’s nice to have real milk tea and I appreciate that they make it easy to select how sweet you want your milk tea 50% sweetness for me!The staff is always so helpful and the food is really consistent, they have never messed up my order. Once I came in to pickup my food and they hadn’t received my order due to their internet connection going down. They were able to confirm my order and knocked it out super fast for me, so what could’ve been awkward was no big deal!The only drawback is that the restaurant is very micro micro tiny, so it’s more a place to grab food to go, than to eat in.10/10 would recommend whether you have dietary restrictions or not ❤️Parking: It’s usually easy to park right out front but there’s also a lot behind the shop with a couple spots reserved for Hangry Panda!“
“Ordered the winter only lamb with Chinese herbal hot pot (羊肉爐) and steam cod with special bean sauce (豆酥鱈魚). The lamb has skin and tender all around. Very nice. Not huge amount but understantable as lamb with skin is quite expensive here. Flavour is correct. Special bean sauce add nice interesting flavour to the steam cod. Not many places has this dish. Overall, pretty good but price is definitely on higher side. Will come back for other food likely although have to order conservatively or else your wallet will be empty lol“
“It's easy to write a negative comment/review about a restaurant, but to receive service so good that you are so happy to leave a positive review.First off, my family of 4 arrived just when lunch rush began. So it is expected to wait for a bit. But the 2 ladies ran the front so well, things were cleaned up and set up in such efficient way, we were seated in no time. They have excellent communication between each other which made the process went so smoothly.Food was great, the C2 dish (crispy chicken with special spicy sauce) was really good. Not really spicy but for someone that doesn't really eat spicy, I have nothing to complain about. Too bad the fried chicken steak over rice was a bit overcooked and dry.At the end we decided to get some bubble tea. Although they were so busy they were spinning like a top, the lady with red hair took the time to introduce their drink to us, and even offered to split the drink for our kids so they each have one drink in hand (they were so surprised and felt special).Gosh, the tipping system is so abused nowadays, but for these 2 ladies? A hands-down "take my money cause you rock"!!“
“Went on Tuesday around 12:30pm for lunch. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all and the service was very fast and I could tell everything was being prepared fresh. I tried their tiger fries, garlic string beans, and brown sugar boba.Highly recommend the tiger fries and garlic string beans as they were both super flavorful and a great lunch for 2 people for only 16 bucks.Will be returning again soon.“
“The rice rolls are pretty good, rather glutinous and not authentic rice noodles. The leek dumplings are meaty and a bit greasy, so it’s okay to eat them with some vinegar.The black sesame paste is not very delicate, almost the same as making it at home.The soup was just average, I won’t order it again.“
“Decent price for a hot pot. I enjoyed my beef and my girlfriend got the seafood! I ordered mild but it might be too much for some when it comes to being spicy. The iced green or black tea was free unless you upgrade to large. Portion looked small and I thought I might have to ask for extra rice but it did fill us up. Glad I checked it out!“
“I’ve only tried their pastries so far, and they are absolutely amazing! I got the steamed chicken and pork buns, Crab Rangoon, and a red bean sesame roll. They were all soooo delicious, you could tell it was all authentic. I’ll definitely be returning! The only thing I was disappointed about was that I couldn’t try the curry beef bun because it was sold out. You can bet I’ll be trying it soon though. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family!“
“It was a busy day, so we decided to get the chicken popcorn bento with rice, and Luke opted for the crispy chicken with spicy sauce and rice bento! Both bentos come with salad, mushrooms, tomatoes, and for Luke, scrambled eggs and extra salad. While it's convenient to have it as takeout, I think dining in at the restaurant would enhance the flavors. I'm also curious about trying their other meals next time.“
“This place is not far-away from where I live, a small fast food place specializing in pork hock dishes, it is the same from the Vancover Wan Luan Pork Hock place Environment: casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a takeaway meal,relatively small, with limited seating optionsService: the boss is a very nice Taiwanese, he will talk a lot with you hahaThe Pork Hock Original: The meat was tender and succulent, cooked to perfection. It had a savory flavor with hints of spices and herbs, complemented by a slight smokinessWan Luan Pork Hock with 3 Flavor Sauce: using the traditional 3 flavor sauce of chicken way to cook the hock, the combination of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors was a true treat for the taste buds. a balanced blend of soy sauce, garlic, onion, basil and chili“
“Authentic, well executed Taiwanese food. The fried cutlet, beef noodle soup are staples and the watermark for how good the menu is, and they both passed with flying colors. We also had the shaved ice combo with pudding, red beans and taro. Even the small size is pretty big that took two people to finish. Delish. Definitely coming back to try other dishes. Oh and the people here are super nice.“
“It's my new favorite lunch spot! Chicken had a nice light coating with great seasoning, and I'm glad it was dark meat. Carrot/daikon mix was very tasty. I would have preferred the broccoli and veggies served warm instead of cold, but they were still fresh and the whole meal was great. Good price, and not very long wait to order and receive. Disclaimer: the bento in my photo has extra veggies and extra meat.Vegetarian options: Tofu option available“
“Frank B had the Din Tai Fung experience at the ALL STAR GAME! I unequivocally share that the dumplings are sensational & delicious. For stadium food this stands out above the rest of concession stands at the ballpark. Ordering is simple and convenient since no cash is needed. Well, you must pay but with a major credit card only. It's a tad loud due to 30,000 + people around but they got Franks order correct. Now next time I hit the ballpark I'll grab a double order for my pleasure.Frank B is out!“
“I recently tried the Yum Bit food truck and had a moderate experience. The menu had a decent variety of options, including both meat and vegetarian choices. I ordered their signature burger, and while it had a good flavor, I found the portion size to be a bit small for the price. The burger itself was cooked well, but it lacked some of the juiciness I was hoping for.The service at the food truck was quick and efficient, with friendly staff members who were attentive to my order. The wait time was reasonable, considering it was a busy day.However, one aspect that fell short was the overall atmosphere. The food truck lacked seating options, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal on-site. Additionally, the surroundings were a bit noisy, which made it less enjoyable to eat there.Overall, I would say that the Yum Bit food truck offers decent food options, but there is room for improvement. It's a good choice for a quick bite on the go, but the portion sizes and ambiance could be better. With some adjustments, it has the potential to provide a more satisfying dining experience.“
“Scallion oil poached chicken from the fridge is so good. You know if you know. They also serve at Microsoft food court as well everyday in different building. I would recommend their braised beef bento box. Beef is very nice. Even the potato itself is surprisingly good.“
“This is probably one of the best consistent food trucks in the downtown area. The menu is streamlined enough that you try all of their plates and they're crazy fast to get the food out. There isn't any seating area directly next to it and the wait line is a little awkward to stand in, but the food is worth it and the portions of meat and egg is great for the price and speed.“
“This is my second time in a dumpling restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Being a dumpling novice I was pleased that the server was patient and explained the menu along with recommendations. The food and ice tea was excellent! I will definitely return. Nice atmosphere too!“
