Din Tai Fung - Arcadia

Ok idk a single person who has anything bad to say about din Tai Fung. I've been to the original locations in Taiwan as well as their Michelin star location and this one comes very close. Their service is the best in the industry, their food is always consistent and fresh. The only thing I wish would change is the timing of the food. Literally one dish will come out every 10 minutes. I like my food to come out all at once, at least the entrees. I can understand the appetizers coming out first but some of the food just takes a little bit too long. But overall love this place and will keep continuing to come back

Food is always fresh, hot full of flavor! Some of our favorites are the green beans, chicken fried rice, chicken fried noodles, pork XLB, shrimp pork spicy wontons the sweet tarot XLB for dessert!

Cory is an amazing dude. Service was great food was amazing. Great first time. Definitely will be coming back for Cory

Great food and vegan options!!!! Lot of vegan dumplings and other stuff to chose from. Only issueafter a couple of tastings everything seems to be the same sauce. However , fresh and worth multiple visits! Vegetarian options: Vegan baby! Service: Dine in

The lines here are LONG. My friend and I waited over an hour to be seated. Fortunately this is located inside the Santa Anita mall so we were able to walk around to kill time. The ambiance inside was very nice and gorgeous. Our server was also attentive and nice. For the food, we ordered: Cucumber salad String beans w/ garlic Kurobuta pork XLB Chicken Mushroom buns Vegetable and Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons Sweet Taro Buns The cucumber salad was decent. I couldn't taste any garlic in the string beans w/ garlic, so I was disappointed, but at least it was kind of crispy. The kurobuta pork XLB was good and flavorful, but really small. The chicken and mushroom buns were bland. As for the spicy wontons, everyone raves about them so I was excited to try it, but it was very underwhelming. I got the vegetable and kurobuta pork spicy wontons. They weren't spicy at all and were super bland. The sweet taro buns were just ok. Overall, I found the food to be underwhelming. It was also expensive and the portion sizes were small! Usually I don't mind spending more money on food, if the quality and value is high, but I don't feel like that's what I got here. The wait time is also insanely long. I had a positive customer service experience, but the wait time, price, and quality/value of the food makes me hesitant to come back.
