Din Tai Fung - Taiwanese restaurant in San Diego - 4301 La Jolla Village Dr Ste 2000, USA

There are already 2608 reviews, so let me add to the 4.6 choir — a wonderful restaurant. I came with my Uncle and everything was great. I love the vinegar which can be applied with the hot oil and soy sauce on some many dishes. Highly recommended!! The picture of bathroom was added because they have this solid metal friction plate allowing your foot to open the door — ingenious!!

This restaurant always had a long lineup during the weekend so we didn't get to try it but finally we dined at this place yesterday (Tuesday). The first thing I noticed was how friendly and professional the staffs were. Many greeted us as we were being seated and our waiter was very friendly and talkative. The interior was really nice too. Our waiter (Andrew) was very knowledgeable and professional. I would even say he was the best waiter I've seen. He explained the menu in detail and answered our questions kindly. The food was amazing too. The portion seemed a bit small but since the food came out one by one, we got to eat it slowly and that helped me not fall into the food coma. Overall the dining experience was really great! No wonder there were so many people lining up at this restaurant.

There is a very good reason why this place is so popular! The service wonderful as always, our server this time was Hannah N and she was great. Our MUSTs chicken and pork soup dumplings, shrimp wonton and the veggie rice (even if you are not vegetarian, this plate is amazing!) the cabbage is just ok PS lychee mojito is delicious!!

The amount of friendly service food was a little small, but it was good to eat various things. The cucumber salad was so delicious because it refreshes my mouth every time I eat other food after eating it. Spicy shrimp is a pleasant spicy taste because the spicy sauce is so delicious.The dumpling burst and the juice spread into my mouth, and it was so delicious. It also has a sense of being considerate to customers by making it less hot when it bursts in their mouths than regular Chinese dumplings. Shrimp bubble rice was a small amount, but the shrimp was well cooked and fresh.I felt good every time I chewed the rice because it was alive. We simply dined and contributed other foods to other families..The food submitted was good to go, and even though I took it with me, the food was grea

We’ve been dinning at Din Tai Fung in four different countries and not sure why it’s so popular for non-Taiwanese patrons. Last week we were at South Coast Plaza and saw a Din Tai Fung there and thought we can try it again to see if I was wrong about the place, unfortunately there was a 3 and half hour wait for walk ins. So we left. Today for a late lunch on a Friday in La Jolla, the wait time was less than 30 minutes. So we ate here. The food was so so as far as Chinese food goes, but the service was excellent as the server was very helpful and attentive. We did try the sesame buns and they were pretty good. The kale was very salty and the wanton soup was just okay. The Shao Mais were meh, and not to be confused with Cantonese dim sum shao mais. I suppose if you haven’t tried the Chinese-Taiwanese (as opposed to Taiwanese or Chinese style) xiaolongbaos, then it’s worth a try and you may like them than I do.

Nothing like a pit stop to @dintaifungusa at the end of a SD trip Their garlic green beans, sticky short ribs, and XLB continue to be my favorite items on their menu. Luckily without a reservation, the wait was only 90 minutes for 3 people, so we were able to shop around to kill time.

I mean, this place is amazing. You definitely need to reserve and come close to your reserve time, we were 15 min early and they wouldn’t seat us. The food here is amazing, it’s pricey but it’s an upscale restaurant. The diced beef noodle is my absolute favorite, I can down one bowl within seconds, definitely try the soup dumplings if you’ve never had them, servers were very nice. The servers literally kneeled down to talk to us, definitely come here if you’re new to Chinese food or want some good ol dumplings
