    Major wait but luckily there's a lot to do to pass time being situated in large mall. Put your name on the waitlist and they'll text you when your table is almost ready.

    If you have been to Din Tai Fung in other locations, you WILL be disappointed.. Higher price, less xlb, less juicy, half cooked meat..😞 Their braised beef soup is good though.

    Need reservation to visit, or hours waiting in line. And if you wait in line, you can only sit in bar area. So reservation is a must if you want to dine on a table.

    Everything we ordered is awesome. The taste is superb. Our server Caludia is the best. The only improvement for this location is the steam time of XLB right now.

    Come around 10:45 to get seating at the bar (walk-in). Even after being open for awhile, the wait still requires reservation.

    A little bland compared to how the dishes should taste, but still easily the best XLB around

    Get the crab and Kurobuta pork dumpling, delicious! If you order the vegetable and pork wonton, order add-on noodles and mix it together.

    Probably one of the best places to go around this area. The problem - yiu'll have to wait, really really long. Make a reservation in advance.

    Food is great! Same quality as in taiwan. Line is super long though, expect 2-3 hour wait on weekends during lunch time.

    They might not have on choy on the menu, but the kale garlic stir fry is surprisingly good.

    Gray dumplings. Need to try their pork and crab XLBs and their beef noodle soup. Expect a super long wait.

    Watch your bill and make sure they didn't charge you several times when you ask them to re-steam your XLB, because in my bill it showed several times, but manager deduct it later.

    Unfortunately after a 2.5 hour wait, we were disappointed by how small the XLBs (barely any soup!) compared to other places or even other DTFs. Spicy wontons were good but a bit too sweet.

    The food is fine. 30 min wait on a Monday night with a reservation. Won't allow early check in but it's ok if they make us wait 30 mins with a ressie. Not cool.

    XLB under cook is still a problem, according to the manager, they only steam 4 minutes. Asked them to steam 8 minutes instead.
