We live around the corner and eat here 3-6 times a week. Although always crowded and always having to wait between 5-30 minutes for a four person table, the wait is always worth it. The restaurant gets a lot of tour groups through, however this does not phase the staff and service is always very attentive and there is always... More

Din Tai Fung is my favourite dumpling place. Yes, it is a little more expensive than some other shops, but the xiaolongbao are always perfectly steamed and juicy, and the service is impeccable. The queue at the Xinyi store is the longest because of all the tourists, but I still like it best. When I don't have time, then I'll... More

Very popular place and food was very good. We waited about 45 minutes for a table for 7. Food was quickly brought to the table, and the service was very good. This is a casual dining experience that is located in a mall area.

The first time I went to TW, the tourist brought us to this branch for dimsums and other signature dishes. The XiaoLongBaos are sososo much nicer than the ones in S'pore! It was so awesome that I couldn't help but order more! And the service was even better! Efficient, friendly, and able to give recommendations when asked about it! A... More

lines are long, but it is worth the wait. We have tried Di Tai Fung, in Sydney, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Taipei. Out of the three in Taipei, this one is the best. Don't know why, it just test better at this location. We have eaten here everytime I have visited taipei. I must say one in Sydney is... More

Take a number and return later after walking in the neighbourhood. It seems everyone does the same and while you wait, people who have taken a number much earlier, return for their turn so they go almost straight through. Service is excellent and very attentive. Food is average for the reputation they have. I enjoyed the Din Tai Fung in... More

A restaurant grew to a point that became a tourist attractions, so expected to see long line or tour groups from across East Asia. The dumplings skins are thin and worth to try if you never have any "real" xiao long bao dumplings other than those from various Chinatowns. Since it is a tourist spot, I doubt many locals will...
