Avis DIN TAI FUNG Glendale

I haven't been able to get inside but the public sure seems to appreciate it, Check it out ?

Overpriced by a mile !!! Pricing not available before we ate ! A total waste of money!!!

Great food, great service and experience. Come early and expect a long wait to be seated. Other than that great

Went on a company night out dinner
Food was amazing !!!
Ivan the waiter was professional!
The Bubba black tea milk with salt was a treat literally everything was super mouth watering and excellent environment
Doing again with the family tomorrow!
We love this place!

Make a reservation, service was great - I personally loved the lychee martini, and sticky rice shao mai. Overall pretty good! Mi novio liked the spicy wontons and peanut noodles.

Looks nice, but the glory days of Arcadia are gone in terms of food quality. Time to move on.

Dropped by at this location. Ordered the pork and then the crab dumplings. They were okay. The pork chop fried rice was okay too. The service was above average.

Food was remarkable, customer service was great, and conveniently located in the Glendale Galleria.

Bad customer service, my family and I reserved for 5 with 2 small kids, went to the reception lady and said its ready, 4 in my family was already here and after 30secs they said the table was not available anymore. Its the weekdays and not even a weekend. No consideration for family w/ small kids.

Ding Tai Fung: A Five-Star Culinary Delight! Exquisite flavors, impeccable service, and an ambiance that transports you to the heart of Asia. From the delectable dumplings to the mouthwatering dishes, every bite is a heavenly experience. The attention to detail and the dedication of the staff create an unforgettable dining affair. Prepare to indulge in a gastronomic journey that will leave you craving for more. Truly deserving of its five-star reputation!

Update: They move to the Galleria mall. I like this location more. Parking is much easier in Garage A. Same great food and service. Still need to be patient since they do get crowded.

I have been to many Din Tai Fung. This place is always consistent with service and food. Of course, the wait can be long. The XLB is a must try. Of course, other dishes are very good too. Besides, XLB, I always get the spicy wonton and the beef noodle soup. For dessert, chocolate mochi dumpling is the best. Will be back when I visit Glendale.

Service is super slow ???? ????
We are seated outside too loud we visited different location so far this is the worst location when it comes to service

Very good food, I love the shareability of the food and they have good service

Excelente calidad de comida ???? y la atención de el mesero super todo limpio baños limpios ,eso sí tendrás que esperar si no llegas temprano yo espere una y 1/2 hora para poder comer ,el mesero q me atendió se llama Eduardo nos dirigió para comer lo más rico y su atención fue de 10.

Amazing! Obviously pricy, so check the menu so you know what you’re getting into. Definitely make a reservation too - I went without making one and for a table for two, the wait was 2 hours. It was well worth the wait, though.

The food alright but my server dropped some food on me…

I am writing to express my utter frustration and disappointment with my recent dining experience at Din Tai Fung - Glendale. Frankly, I am appalled by the level of incompetence and disregard for customer satisfaction that I witnessed during my visit. I’ve always been a fan of din tai fung and been to several locations including Asia.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, my party and I were informed of an outrageous wait time of one hour. Imagine my disbelief when I looked around and saw numerous empty tables scattered throughout the establishment. The excuse of being short-staffed is insulting when there are hosts idly standing around in the lobby, seemingly incapable of doing their jobs properly.

Furthermore, the lack of efficiency in your restaurant’s operations was beyond comprehension. Instead of prioritizing seating customers promptly, your servers were wasting time on trivial tasks like rearranging dishes and engaging in idle chatter. It was abundantly clear that maximizing efficiency and customer satisfaction were not even on the radar for your staff and managers (La Vonne and Kiersten).

What was even more upsetting was the dismissive attitude of your managers. Instead of acknowledging the glaring issues and taking immediate action to rectify them, they chose to brush off my concerns with excuses. Their lack of accountability and disregard for customer feedback is unacceptable. My recommendation is to find managers that are more suitable for the job and actually care about customers.

It is abundantly clear that Din Tai Fung has serious management and organizational deficiencies that are impeding its ability to deliver a satisfactory dining experience. Your inability to properly manage your resources has resulted in lost revenue and countless angry customers despite having amazing food.

I recommend that you take immediate and decisive action to address these issues and prevent such experiences from occurring in the future.

PS: Our server Penelope was awesome though and made us feel better!

Love this place, although it's always crowded and can be more than an hour wait (they'll take your phone number and text yo). But I was by myself so took seat at the bar with a 2 minute wait. The best steamed dumplings anywhere. And I love the cucumber salad. All their food is very good.

I/we have loved Din Tai Fung ever since we had our first bite of a xiaolongbao in 2015 in one of their restaurants in their native Taiwan. We were so excited when they opened up a location near us in San Jose in 2016. They put a lot of time, money and training effort into ensuring the original preparation methods are strictly followed in new locations, to make sure their very high domestic quality standards are met in overseas locations as well. While it's a common secret the dumpling 'skin' isn't quite as thin, delicate and tender in the off-island locations as they are able to make it in Taiwan, we find those offshore locations, such as here in the US, come very close. The Glendale restaurant totally lived up to our high expectations, and was well worth 1 1/2 hours for a table on a Friday night!! We had the cucumber salad, and wood ear mushrooms for appetizers, two orders of their famous pork xiaolongbao, the chicken dumplings, the exceedingly tasty taiwanese cabbage and the stir-fry spinach sides, and the pork and shrimp shao mai, accompanied by their signature pork fried rice. Everything was just simply amazing. In a first, I had the DTF Old-fashioned cocktail, with Kavalan whisky, and it was really good! The waiting staff were also very good and attentive, so all in all it was a superb Din Tai Fung night. The one very small negative I had is that I found that the Glendale location was a bit too 'dark', almost with too much of a night club vibe. (In a very stark contrast to the original Taiwan restaurants 'Ikea-ish fast-food' ambiance). Nothing bad, just a preference probably. Definitely not enough to stop me from going back there next time I'm in LA!!

Good Food ,Good ambiance, Great service!!
The spicy wontons....sooo good!
Lychee Martini delish!

We were the last table to be seated at DTF and got an outdoor seating at this Glendale location. We got straight to ordering because the kitchen was about to close, and were rushed into ordering our cocktails and had to get our second rounds with the first one itself. While it definitely felt rushed, we were looking forward to the food.

Our order included String Beans with Garlic, Hot & Sour Soup (Vegetarian), Vegan Spicy Wontons, Noodles with Sesame Sauce, and Vegetable & Mushroom Fried Rice. DTF definitely lived up to it's hype of being one of the best Taiwanese restaurants I've been to. The food was very flavorful, and had many complex notes! The Hot & Sour soup was delicious, and so were the Vegan wantons.

Service was rushed, noise levels on the lower end, and food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Overall, a very good experience!

To anyone who has had DTF in Asia, this place is a travesty, disappointment, and tourist trap.

Amazing fresh food

Jason, our server made the experience so much more valuable for my first time here. Fine Asian dining at its best! Sesame noodles, string beans and the amazing Xioa Long Bao are all highly recommended.

Excellent raviolis chez Din Tai Fung. Un véritable régale. Belle adresse chinoise à Glendale.
