Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐

Major wait but luckily there's a lot to do to pass time being situated in large mall . Put your name on the waitlist and they'll text you when your table is almost ready.

If you have been to Din Tai Fung in other locations, you WILL be disappointed.. Higher price, less xlb, less juicy, half cooked meat..???? Their braised beef soup is good though.

Need reservation to visit, or hours waiting in line . And if you wait in line , you can only sit in bar area. So reservation is a must if you want to dine on a table.

Everything we ordered is awesome. The taste is superb. Our server Caludia is the best. The only improvement for this location is the steam time of XLB right now.

Get the crab and Kurobuta pork dumpling , delicious! If you order the vegetable and pork wonton , order add-on noodles and mix it together.

A little bland compared to how the dishes should taste, but still easily the best XLB around

EXCELLENT DISHES! Noodles , dumplings , you couldn't go wrong. Except for the fried rice , was a bit dry...

My Routine - Match Smoothie with Boba , Chicken Soup , Pork Dumplings , Kale , 8 Treasure rice . Yum! https://www.foodnut.com/50630/din-tai-fung-santa-clara/

Come around 10:45 to get seating at the bar (walk-in). Even after being open for awhile, the wait still requires reservation .

Good was amazing, everything was so rich and tasty! Service was fast, but overpriced but great overall.

Food is great! Same quality as in taiwan. Line is super long though, expect 2-3 hour wait on weekends during lunch time.

Put your name down on their online waitlist and avoid the crowded entrance

Get the regular Pork xlb, pork chop fried rice , Taiwanese cabbage , braised beef noodle soup .

Gyoza and wontons in chili oil ????????????

Probably one of the best places to go around this area. The problem - yiu'll have to wait, really really long. Make a reservation in advance.

Obviously get the XLB, but the noodles with minced pork is also really fantastic.

5 Truffle XLB for 25 is worth it

They might not have on choy on the menu, but the kale garlic stir fry is surprisingly good.

Famous for xiao long bao . But spicy wonton might be my new favorite!

Came to see what the HYPE was about. Super tasty food... This place is known for their xiao long bao aka soup dumplings . They did not disappoint...

Dumplings are very good. Also love their soup .

Excellent service , chocolate dumplings are delicious!

Delicious XLB especially crab flavored

Get the XLB, spicy wontons and shrimp fried rice !

Very interesting food choices and all were excellent! Loved their ice tea

Amazing soup dumplings , buns , spicy wontons and steamed dumplings

Gray dumplings . Need to try their pork and crab XLBs and their beef noodle soup . Expect a super long wait .

Super excellent. Glad I finally got in! Have everything!

I've ding tai fung! Xiao long bao and spicy wonton are amazing!

You no longer have to make a reservation weeks in advance! This Saturday we arrived 30 min after they opened, and they found a table for two 20 min later.

Dumplings was good but the service needs to be improved.. arrived with a reservation only to be told that we needed to wait in line as they overbooked everyone.. a 35 mins wait with a reservation :(

These are the best dim sums that I’ve ever try!

Chicken wontons with spicy sauce and dumplings (any kind).

Don't wait in line . Get a reservation .

Put your name down, go shopping, and 1.5 hours later you'll have a table

Unfortunately after a 2.5 hour wait, we were disappointed by how small the XLBs (barely any soup !) compared to other places or even other DTFs. Spicy wontons were good but a bit too sweet.

Watch your bill and make sure they didn't charge you several times when you ask them to re-steam your XLB, because in my bill it showed several times, but manager deduct it later.

make a reservation ! they open up a month in advance

Cannot deny the dumplings are amazing, though lines can be long

Hot and sour soup

Spicy wontons are to die for

Party of 2? Skip the long wait and pop in line to sit at the bar .

You can always expect great food. Be aware of long wait times.

Soup dumplings !

Great vegetarian options .

The food is fine. 30 min wait on a Monday night with a reservation . Won't allow early check in but it's ok if they make us wait 30 mins with a ressie. Not cool.

Get the XLB

Service is good but the food is so so. Waiting time is at least 2-3hours if no registration has been made.

Closed from 3-5 on Sundays!

Awesome XLB!!
