Look...the dumplings are great...yes fresh made...congratulations...but the prices are ridiculous and the quality and size of the portions are not ok.I paid nearly $70 Dollar (single) to eat 10 dumplings, fried rice and a Wonton soup...no drinks...That is insane...The soup was a non tasty broth and tge fried rice greasy and exactly 10 tiny shrimps.I will not come back because this is out of line for a location within a basic shopping mall.

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT! Business is always gooooood , short wait 20 mins . Longer wait 1 hour ? Because the food is good all the DTF location in Seattle are packed! There is bars with liquor quicker to get inFor those who never try I recommend order dumplings that’s what they famous for , service is very attentive and serve food fast !! My favorite Taiwanese restaurant! Even in Taiwan it’s still popular ????

A simple and fun way to share a meal with friends. Order a couple dishes and everybody gets to pick out what they like. Share the food from the plate. Have a good time.I love to have a nice taro bun as a dessert!

This place never disappoints. The food is absolutely amazing as are the staff. They always make the best recommendations. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but for dessert, highly recommend the Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao. It's like rich hot chocolate exploding in your mouth. We ordered a second!It gets crowded REALLY fast, so reservations ahead of time are helpful. You can just make them online.

This is the worst service I’ve ever received from Din Tai Fung. I am visiting a friend and decided to go to a restaurant that we’re both familiar with. We ordered our dumplings, xiao long bao, and two orders of the chocolate buns. We sat down at 3:51 PM and were done warring around 4:40 PM. We were waiting for the buns to come. After 15 minutes, we set a timer. It took them 22 minutes (not adding the 15 minutes prior) for anyone to come to our table. People were sat and being serviced with plates, napkins (the female waitresses asked if they wanted napkins and just passed us multiple times), and their complete order. After I complained to the female waitress about our waiter, she said “He’s on break”. If I had not complained, we would’ve been waiting. Another waiter came to our table completely unaware of our order, who our waiter was (he thought we had two male waiters), and what was going on. Our order of buns came at 5:00 PM and we had no plates and no napkins. The other male waiter who was assigned to our table AFTER OUR ORIGINAL WAITER LEFT FOR “BREAK” BROUGHT PLATES AT 5:03 PM. The Din Tai Fung in Cali wound never….

honestly really one star because the food let the place down.we ordered the:hot&sour soup (which turned out to be neither hot nor sour)the pork xiaolongbao (which turned out to not have any broth and tasted something that I might have gotten off the frozen food section in Costco)the shrimp and pork dumplings in spicy sauce (which honestly tasted more like sweet peanut sauce than spicy sauce)the fried rice with shrimps (which became the highlight for the table - the fried rice tasted something remotely tasty, but the shrimps just tasted as if they were thawed from the frozen)Overall, was displeased with the food and would not recommend.Nonetheless, the biggest saving grace was the service from Princess, who did the best she could by providing excellent service to us.

Food was generally ok for taste and presentation but I really don't get the 5 star ratings (maybe a lot of people just don't know what to expect from legit chinese dumpling house?) The portions are small and the prices are high for this location at least. The atmosphere is noisy and the service seems a bit chaotic we only ordered a few dishes for the 3 of us and they managed to get something wrong and tried to deliver somone else's dish to us as well. Server wandered off looking confused. Hopefully found the customer eventually. I'm not sure what they were aiming at for the room design but it just came off as dim/dark and sort of food courty. Overall I guess its ok if you are in the area and need a dumpling fix but there have to be better spots...

Wait time was a bit long, but totally worth it! Their food is amazing. The spicy wontons and soup dumplings are my absolute favorites. The flavors are on point and the dumplings are so juicy. If you can handle the wait, you'll be rewarded with some seriously delicious eats! ???

This Din Tai Fung is the best Din Tai Fung I had in greater Seattle area. The services far beyond amazing. I can put notes on what I want or need when I make the reservations for example the high chair. Everyone’s nice and smiling. And they care about the customers they think for their customers. The services far better than other Din Tai Fung in greater Seattle area. I always had very good experiences when I go there. Also even their food tastes better than the other Din Tai Fung in greater Seattle area.Parking: South center parking lot and parking garage. Plenty of free parking.Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! My daughter loves it!
