CANT SAY ENOUGH.

I had a great experience at this Din Tai Fung.
MAKE A RESERVATION! The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy. It's clear they're organized and care about providing good service.

Nice decor, atmosphere, consistent, good food, great service & the chocolate filled buns r to die for! Expect a wait to get in & be seated. But it's worth it.
Food was good.
We've gone there long time so I hope still has good food quality. The place was rather tight meaning that maybe because that time we were there was a busy day. My hope that the atmosphere has improved

We arrived at 6:35, placed our name, text received and was told the wait would be 30 mins. Waited an hour, checked back and was told it was a three hour wait, "You are 104 on the list". By that time, we would be eating at 4 AM! If the h
Beware of scam calls from the QR.
So our family planned to dine at DTF and scanned the QR code just to be added to the waitlist. Upon doing so I started getting spam calls and spoofed numbers aside from getting a text that I am the 200th in the waitlist and the wait time is 3-4 hours

This was our second time to the chain, first time at this location. The food is always delicious and the staff is VERY informative of the menu as well as how to alter the heat of some of the items. We had a reservation (through Yelp) for 6:30 but we

We used the Yelp waiting list to get a table for Sunday dinner. Although having waited for 2+ hours, the food quality and service were not disappointing at all. The ambiance in the restaurant is very good so the price is not cheap, even for Chinese
Service is always top-notch.
I recommended making a reservation or using call-ahead, but with parties over 4 it is pretty inconvenient. My whole family loves the food, especially the pork dumplings and the wood ear mushrooms.
Alyx was a wonderful server.
The restaurant is well decorated and spacious. The biggest drawback is the wait. The minimum wait is 2 hours. The food is delicious and memorable. I got a bunch of different things because although the food is good, not sure if I'm willing to w

I crave din tai fung everytime I am in town!! I love the special desserts they provide every once in awhile too!!!
This is my go-to place for Dim Sum.
It lives up to the first word in its name, though! But the food is worth every decibel!

Came here for dinner after making a reservation on a weekday 4 hours before. Overall - Food is good. But it is LOUD inside. DTF is the place to go if you enjoy their food and have a reservation AND still willing to wait another 30 minutes bc they

Pro move: Tell the server to leave the lid on the XLB basket. If you have never had Din Tai Fung (DTF from now), then you're missing out... If you have had DTF in the past (like 10 years ago) and want that same quality, then unfortunately you
Our server Jackie was very nice, welcoming, tentative.
All the staffs are friendly and helpful. The interior and exterior were nicely decorated and clean. That earns the two stars. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed by the pork Xiao long bao, spicy wonton and deep fried pork chop. It's not

I've been coming to Din Tai Fung for years, and it's always been one of my favorite places to bring my family -- but today was honestly such a letdown. Our server "Josh" barely paid attention to us from the moment we sat down. He
The food never disappoints.
As busy as this place is, you never feel rushed to leave once you've been seated. Xiao Long Bao are a must. The dumplings are solid. I love their Noodles with minced pork and the braised beef noodle soup. Service is always amazing.
Amazing, delicious food.
Ambiance is nice as well. Service was fast and pleasant. Not th pricy.

Food was delicious as always and our server Jonathan was AMAZING! So kind, very attentive, so helpful, and very funny. He made our visit incredibly pleasant and an absolute joy. Give that man a raise!!
My friend and I had a lovely dinner.
Unfortunately, there was some confusion with checking in at the beginning but they sorted it and we were quickly seated. All the workers were unbelievably nice. We had the pork ribs and chicken dumpling soup which were very good. I ordered the vegan

Never fails, best Xia Long Bao and Dumplings for me.
Their dumpling skin is top to perfection. I love that it's soft that melts in your mouth. Service is great. Servers are polite and on top of what you need. The place is very nice and clean. It is just so busy, hard to get in for walk-ins. I s
Used to come in often.
Came here for lunch today. Service is still good. Line is still long.. Quality of food goes down a bit. But price,boy , is way too high. Cannot believe $15 for five pieces of spare ribs. We complained and ten minutes later, the same dish reappeared.
Food was delicious.
Service was good could have been better it was the end of the night reservations before they closed. It was busy, our serving was super busy and although he did check back, he could have been more consistent. I would try them again at a different loc
Din Tai Fung does not miss a beat.
From their delish food to their impressive service -- you just know your going fill fulfilled.
First time at this location.
I highly suggest to join the waitlist in yelp if you're within two miles from the restaurant. It's the weekend so no surprise we had to wait for 3 hours until our number is up. To kill time this mall will make you forget about the wait beca

Good service, great food , fun time to be had at the santa Anita location. Would gladly recommend friends to visit.

Chinese restaurant goes without saying! It's true from scratch, the authentic taste, the cleanse and catting style, dish arrangement presentation, and the overall service is above standards and many foods are absolutely tasty and a pleasure to
It was alright.
Food wasn't as authentic Shanghainese as expected, but quality wasn't bad either. There are definitely more affordable and more authentic places for Shanghai fare than this chain.

Din Tai Fung is easily one of my favorite restaurants.
The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their signature xiao long bao is unmatched -- delicate wrappers, juicy filling, and that burst of savory broth with every bite. I also love how consistent the quality is across all their

The rice wrap was delicious.
But the famous shiao long bao is so-so. I am on a strict diet so can not order more. But their server are all nice. I forgot their names.
Food is eh.
Spicy wontons the only true stand out. Pork chops were diabolically underwhelming. Staff needs better training on spacing out on ready dishes. Had to eat with one dish on my lap. I understand the concept of flipping tables for business purposes but a

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Din Tai Fung Arcadia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Din Tai Fung Arcadia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Din Tai Fung Arcadia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Din Tai Fung Arcadia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
