the dtf set up back home in arcadia is kinda exposed but i like how this is designed a bit hidden and more private if that makes sense ~ first timers sitting down and all and had a splendid time! i've honestly had better and more authentic taiwanese food, but not bad at all! solid 7/10 especially after i tried the chocolate xlb with sea salt on the side (an extra $1) hMmMm we ordered crab (cute lil indicator too) and pork xlb and they weren't piping hot . the spicy wontons, both chicken and pork were standard hehe i lovvv the chili oil but it's not too spicy! the pork chop fried rice was a bit underwhelming, as my friend phillip mentioned it needed white pepper and i totally agree. i also wish that there were more minced up garlic in the string beans !! but great attentive service tbh it was also funny to eat at an asian restaurant and still be a minority xD

Coming from SoCal we still went to Din Tai fung all the way to Portland and was so surprised about having no wait time on a Saturday evening without a reservation. Food tasted just as great and Hunter was so attentive in making sure all the foods came out. Such great customer service!

From the incredible food to the out of this world service, you can't beat the vibes at Din Tai Fung. Very nice place, very clean, and the perfect vibes for a nice dinner out. Before I get to the food, I wanna start with the true start of the show OUR SERVICE. Minh was so friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful. Kind to my special needs son and even mixed our sauce to us as he explained the process. The service never slacked and we left hoping to have Minh again next time. Great job!!! Now to the food, WOW! Incredible dumplings, savory meat choices, and the most insane green beans you'll ever eat. We went in with one mission, to try as much as we could. Everything was incredible! There wasn't one item that we didn't enjoy. Price points range from like $8-$20 per item and they recommend dining family style. Overall, I give this place a 15/10 and can not wait to return.

I've been here a few times since Din Tai Fung opened in Portland. Overall, I'd say it's one of the better Chinese food places around but they have pricy, small-sized portions. However, the xiao long bao (soup douplings) alone are amazing and worth a try. My favorite is the pork xiao long bao. I also really enjoy the wontons, cucumber salad, and Shanghai rice cake. Overall you can't go wrong with what you order - just go in larger groups to save some money on the cost. I've never had an issue with service and ambiance, would definitely recommend everyone try this at least once.

I was lucky enough to have found my way to the Seattle location back in 2008 and it blew my mind. The wrappers are so thin. I went again in 2022 and was still impressed. This Portland location was alright. Its a hard thing to live up to expectations. The textures were spot on, and the flavors were good... but the fillings were a bit of a weak spot. Dumplings like this a little tender balls of comfort, but why not have some options with a little more guts? Maybe I should go back and try the truffle dumplings? Oh.. and it was the last hour on a Thursday- service was completely distracted with closing duties - that kinda dominated the atmosphere too. I wanted to come earlier, but the waitlist had me wait 90 min until the place was almost empty. That was weird.

Very happy to see this started as a one soup dumpling stand in Taipei has now become a sophisticated and efficiently-run chain on West Coast, and soon it's largest store in NYC. Enjoyed its still traditionally flavored cold dishes like the wooden black ear fungus and seaweed with tofu strings, but also it's newly created taro bun. Actually, the one dish that I thought was so so was it's signature soup dumpling. Give them an extra star for providing Golden Hour, aka Happy Hour, deals with half the portions and discounted price, and do not bring out the dessert until you are ready.

This place is popular for a reason! I had to make a reservation just to get the time I wanted. The service was quick and got my food 10 minutes after ordering. I had purchased my own boba from another franchise and Din Tai Fung allowed me to drink my boba. Honestly, the food was just enough for two people. I was eating alone but took my food home since I was stuffed. The braised beef soup was to die for. The beef was tender and spicy enough for me. It was delicious. The soup dumplings were good but definitely not wow. I did order the Nutella dumplings too and those were good. However I did take that home and it was cold. So I couldn't taste it real time. definitely a good franchise if you're visiting the west coast. It's nice they had boba options too (I didn't try it though)

I got the 1) Cucumber Salad 2) Sesame Noodles 3) Pork Xiao Long Bao Overall solid food and service! I loved the Xiao Long Bao and they are small so think about ordering two! If I were to go again based on the price and food, I'd stick to dumplings and skip the noodles. The noodles are decent, but the soup dumplings and their other dumplings are what they're know to specialize in! You can also see the the chefs preparing the food as you get seated! It's a good place that is not too loud to take friends and have a group meal or one on your own. I'm gonna have to come back for all the dumplings!
