We came her by wondering arond whith my friends and it was fantastique ! Just amazing staff , amazing food and amazing location especially prawn and pork shaomai the soup inside !
Always fun and swift service.
It is always an enjoyable experience to eat here. There is so much choice of good quality Taiwanese cuisine. Service is swift and I suggest you order as you go along as that is a better way to judge quantities. A good wine list and some alcohol free
Rush rush rush.
Good food but about as relaxing as a stay on death row. We were walk in customers with no reservation but honestly a one hour time limit about which we were constantly reminded.Would have given higher rating but to told time was not a problem if we o
Delicious freshly cooked food
The freshest noodles I’ve ever eaten. The food was incredible, the service was fast and the staff very attentive and friendly. Reasonably priced considering location. A great place to go after or before theatre. Would definitely recommend. The
Good food, good location
Good location with great energy all round.The reception was good with quick service. The food was very appetizing and could have easily overeaten. I was not very keen on the dimsums with dark chocolate filling. Still I would go back as there was stil

Great customer service and great food
Excellent service by Vivian. Delicious food too. I had the wonton soup and the garlic broccoli. Definitely we’ll be back.
Taiwanese xiao lon bao quenched our thirst!
We have had an excellent dinner at DTF Covent Garden. Food quality is as good as DTF in Taiwan. The waitering service is excellent, friendly, smiley and extremely helpful! We were lucky to have Jenny K. whom served us tonight! She speaks fluent E
Nice surprise away from the street style we normally opt for
Lovely - fresh and homemade - good choices. Staff lovely and efficient. We saved ourselves all day and had 7 different dim sum and some Veg with drinks and bill was 120. In city centre London that’s a go to place!
Good food
Delicious and fast. Pleasant service and ambience. Order wonton noodle soup & pork xlb. Simple but very flavoursome. Came in hungry and left very satisfied
One word “ phenomenal “
Today I came to din tsai fung in covent garden, and as a Taiwanese who had din tsai fung for over 18 years this place was phenomenal. Jenny and Vivian were the two ladies who were helping me and my family and they always had a smile on their faces. S

Lunch with friends
Great food and service. Fresh dumplings and nice clean place. Food comes within minutes of ordering so no long waiting times. Thank you Una ❤️
Such an amazing experience
If you ever want to try a Taiwanese food this is the place. We had pork xiao long bao , shrimp egg fried rice and prawn and pork wontons. Eddy made our experience even better. Thank you so much
Eddy L - best waiter ever!
Eddy was an amazing host!!! He definitely made our experience even better, we were lucky to be served by him! Thank you so much
Food was good but the portion was small for what you pay.
I would come back again. Service was good and the ambiance is family friendly.
Friendly staff and nice food
The menu is different from those in HK and Taipei, esp. the cocktails which are fun to try. Eddy there is very friendly and helpful, always with a big smile.
Dinner
Very good place, the food is amazing ! A special thanks to Elena who was wonderful and so kind to us for the whole evening !!!
I enjoyed the food and the ambiance.
The service was good as well. We had Bao, gyoza, and pork fried rice. Not what I was used to in the states but still very very good.
Terrific food.
The place is huge and it was packed on a Friday night, but the food was brought out very fast. Definitely recommend it.
Excellent Customer Service
I visited the London Covent garden location on August 8. I was there solo and I had a wonderful experience Shahid, Elena and please Janina were fabulous. The service was top-notch and they went above and beyond to make my experience special.
Eddy L is the man! Must go restaurant
You must go! The food is incredible. It’s best to go and get lots of dishes to share so that you get to try everything. Eddy L was out server and he was FAB and so tentative to all our requests (even giving us a dessert with a candle in for my sist
DTF is our favorite XLB spot.
Every time I I am on vacation anywhere in the world, I have to make a stop. The XLB's never disappoints and always hits the spot. I'll be up for forever customer.

It's covenant garden and dtf so obviously ambiance is quite classy and there's plentiful seating. Service is fast, and everyone is super gracious as well. Ordered their wontons in spicy sauce, pork xia long bao and egg fried rice. Get the
Could not leave London without ordering Din Tai Fung.
I ordered through this location on uber eats, and while nothing beats eating at the location, this meal did not disappoint. The sauce came on the side, making it perfect to freshly mix in when I was ready to eat. The dumplings and noodle dishes never

Placed an online order TWO HOURS ahead, thinking I'd breeze in and grab my food on the go. Guess what? When I showed up, they hadn't even started preparing it. I was told--casually, as if it wasn't a big deal--that they were "just
This restaurant has it all figured out! Delicious, fresh
This restaurant has it all figured out! Delicious, fresh Asian cuisine, served quickly and with a smile. This is the perfect place for a meal when visiting Covent Garden or seeing a nearby show in London's West End. I have visited twice and
The food wasn't as good as I'd hoped or heard about.
The xiao long bao wasn't piping hot and as flavorful as the location in the US. Also, they don't have the soy sauce, vinegar and chili on the table, but rather served to you. I did not like that because I have like mixing it for myself. The

I was in London recently and stayed with a friend who recommended this restaurant for us to go to before a show in the West End. We really enjoyed all the food options and the drinks. Service was a bit slow and we had to keep flagging people down to
I have heard so many glowing reviews of Din Tai Fung
I have heard so many glowing reviews of Din Tai Fung online, so when we saw there was one in the area, we had to try it for lunch. The food was good by all means, but not sure why everyone was raving about it? I like that it is very simple and I fe
Sadly unexciting and rather average
I thought it was unexciting and the food was average. I was expectign more from the reviews i had read. I shall go back to Baozilnn. The staff were very pleasant but little atmosphere
This is the third location I have visited.
Two in Seattle and now London. I am so sorry I missed eating at the original location in Taiwan a few years ago, but I have been eagerly awaiting the new restaurant in New York City, where I live. The delicious food, friendly professional service a
Disappointing Din Tai Fung.
Leaving a restaurant feeling sad for a wasted 50 minutes (surely no good restaurant experience should be done this quickly?) and a wasted £138 for three people, is never something to write home about. My kids and I love dumplings - and coming here,
Who knew a Texas girl would find one of the best Margaritas
Who knew a Texas girl would find one of the best Margaritas in London here?! This restaurant was recommended to me and I'm so glad we came. Great food!
Great place for large parties
Large party, pre booked spacious seating on the below ground. Service was very good. Have been to Selfridges restaurant, so was expecting similar quality. Didn't disappoint. Hubby loved it, father in law enjoyed it.. kids loved it too! Def will retur
Makes me happy
I went to their Taipei branch some time ago and it was fabulous. Reason to try one of the London ones. I took the famed soup dumplings, fried rice with pork chops, and stir fried beans with garlick. And jasmine tea. All very nice indeed. The fried ri
Very small portions… not good for value
Came here with my friends and had high hopes… but it was just ok, not great. Food portions were really small… tiny in fact. So we thought we had over ordered, but we didn’t & finished everything on the table. Pricey for average food &
Absolutely loved our meal here! Everything was delicious
Absolutely loved our meal here! Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back! The soup dumplings were the best I ever ever had!
Keep searching
This is a huge place (200 or so?) Pleasant, bustling atmosphere. The highlight here is watch 4 chefs behind glass assembly lining the production of the dumplings, Alas, if they only tasted as well as their freshness. Disappointingly bland. The sear
Tasty dumplings and noodles for a special occasion
Conveniently located just at the corner of Covent Garden market, Din Tai Fung is a great choice for all things dumplings, noodles and cocktails. On a previous visit I tried their famous cucumber salad, which was delicious and something I constantly i
Great restaurant for friends, families or couples. Delicious food and friendly service.
Superb dinner. The food was amazing as was the service (and with a smile). Pork Xaio Long Bao was as good as we had hoped, the beef ones were excellent too. Chilli crab & pork steamed buns we 3rd favourite then shredded pork and egg friend rice.
Never disappoints
Another return visit for us to our favourite dumpling spot and fantastic as always. Classic pork xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were flawless as usual but we also tried the beef soup dumplings for a change and will definitely order more of these in
Amazing and great value
What an amazing experience. Everything was superb, from the food to the drink to the staff and service. Very relaxed atmosphere and prompt service. Dishes are served as they are prepared and you can tell that it is all very freshly prepared. Do t
This restaurant brings Taiwanese and Shanghainese culinary
This restaurant brings Taiwanese and Shanghainese culinary heritage to London. They are the home of the Xiao Long Bao. Each one goes through a 45 minutes surgical process to deliver absolutely exquisite boa. You have amole choices with Crab & Por
Small plates; Big on flavour
Delicious food! The small plates work very well. Just the right touch of SE Asian spices, and not overpowering. The meats were very tender, the egg fried and other rices excellently flavoured. I especially rate the beef and noodles very highly, the s
A great find!
The restaurant is a great find! The dumplings are delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant especially after the theater.
A taste of Asia
We have a large experience of Din Tai Fung in Asia (Singapore, Jakarta, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai). We were curious to test it in London / Europe. The menu is the same and the restaurant room sounds very similar, slightly upscale versus Asia. Taste of

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Din Tai Fung London 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 London 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
* MaternalRecord73, 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.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Din Tai Fung London 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 London!
* 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.
