What People Are Saying About Din Tai Fung Dumpling House

In Short
As the only U.S. outpost of a famed Taipei dumpling house, the hustle-and-bustle atmosphere only adds to the authenticity. Waitresses balancing dumpling tins rush between tables, while diners watch chefs wrap and steam in the glass-fronted kitchen. Highlights are Shanghai-style dumplings, pasta pillows filled with broth and meats like pork and crab. Crescent-shaped vegetable dumplings are loaded with minced greens; pork dumplings are crowned with little shrimp. The menu also features buns, soups and noodles.

Was curious why such long lines. I counted up to 100 people waiting in line one Sat. 30 min.before they opened. WOW! Visited the following Sat. and I am still wondering ...did I miss something? Five of us. We ate decently but it cost us $25 each (included tip) HUH? For what? Each type of dumpling seemed to have the same taste. Yes...juicy, but he same taste? The best item was the flat noodles and the red bean dessert dumpling. For the cost and quality, I wouldn't go back again. Not worth it. Service also seemed rushed. Had to chase someone down several times to get water refills for the table.

the dumplings are great! very tasty and juicy and it goes great with the vinegar sauce however, the waiting is really extensive and sometimes you have to share a table with others. the price is pretty expensive for dumplings

The best dumpling house in LA. Too bad the other reviews can not walk a block or two. This is not McDonalds or even Panda Express. Please enjoy the great dumplings, vegetables, chicken soup and then enjoy a brisk walk afterwards.
