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.

Expensive

by buckwheat22

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.

  • Pros: Flat noodles, red bean dumpling
  • Cons: expensive, every "type" of dumpling had the same flavor

Dumplings worth the Walk

by unimaster

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.

  • Pros: Everthing
  • Cons: None
