Din Tai Fung is one of those restaurants that truly lives up to its reputation. I actually worked here back in 2019, and it gave me a whole new level of respect for what makes this place world-renowned. The training is no joke--they really make sure

Din Tai Fung delivers on its reputation with flawless soup dumplings (xiao long bao) that are rich, delicate, and full of flavor. The spicy wontons and cucumber salad are perfect complements, while the noodles and shao mai round out a well-balanced m

Had an amazing experience at Din Tai Fung! The food was delicious and our server, Chris was extremely kind and helpful.
Din Tai Fung is easily one of my favorite restaurants.
The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their signature xiao long bao is unmatched -- delicate wrappers, juicy filling, and that burst of savory broth with every bite. I also love how consistent the quality is across all their
Food is eh.
Spicy wontons the only true stand out. Pork chops were diabolically underwhelming. Staff needs better training on spacing out on ready dishes. Had to eat with one dish on my lap. I understand the concept of flipping tables for business purposes but a
The rice wrap was delicious.
But the famous shiao long bao is so-so. I am on a strict diet so can not order more. But their server are all nice. I forgot their names.

My daughters fav restaurant For our family this is the minimum quality/taste needed for soup dumplings... If you can't beat it... You shouldn't be in the dumplings business

Been to Din Tai Fung a couple of times now.
Very consistent customer service and quality every time. Everything is made fresh and our waiter Chris B. was very attentive. While the quality and service is great, I would still say it's not worth it. The one thing that's always missing

Great service, food and atmosphere. Busy for a Saturday night yet the attention to service was very friendly and accommodating. Pur reservation was on time and the food was great as usual.
Pricey but Delicious
We came here on a Thursday night hoping that it wouldn't be busy but there was still a two hour wait. Luckily since it's inside a mall we can shop and buy while we wait our turn for dinner. The servers are great and very polite in every pos

We asked a server for a couple of bowls and when she brought the bowls to the table, I couldn't believe my eyes. The way she held the bowls as she was handing it off to our table was not it. She had some of her fingers IN the bowl for the handoff. No

This restaurant was outstanding. I asked our waiter, Ryo, for recommendations and tried the dishes he suggested. It was the best meal I had during my trip to Los Angeles. The green beans, xiaolongbao, soup, shrimp fried rice, and the final dessert of

Door-Dashed this to our hotel for a late dinner (having no idea about its popularity). The food was delicious, still hot, and packaged well for delivery. The takeout utensils provided were awesome, which included chopsticks and traditional soup spoon

Located on the top floor of the Santa Anita mall, Din Tai Fung is a very busy restaurant backed by quick competent servers, prep cook, and chefs. You can visibly see the entire ecosystem and how they organize the chaos into a harmonious flow. I had

Cute place with Great food but terrible service and communication. Only come here if you have a reservation and hours to wait to be seated. After waiting in 2 different lines with no communication I was told to go back to the first line and the wait
This place was great.
Great food and even better service! Definitely need a reservation because it was packed. We will definitely go back.
Parts of the meal were cold.
Food is overpriced, I recommend finding local mom-and-pop shops to patronize. Katia Silva was no help at all. Service was attentive, but a miss this time.
The food is great as well as the service.
Great place for lunch with friends. Beautiful spot to dine.

My parents were visiting from out of town so we had a nice family dinner at Din Tai Fung. My son would turn into a dumpling if given the chance so everyone had a very nice meal here at soupy-dumpling capital of the world. The staff were super nice

The wait time can be fairly long at times, but if you plan accordingly its not too bad. its a family style resturant which makes it easy to share and is tasty!

Food came pretty quickly and staff was awesome. I recommend eating here. Coming back for sure.
Connect with users posting reservations for Din Tai Fung Arcadia
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Din Tai Fung Arcadia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Din Tai Fung Arcadia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Din Tai Fung Arcadia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Din Tai Fung Arcadia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Din Tai Fung Arcadia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
