Din Tai Fung

I know it is a bit of heresy to not give Din Tai Fung a complete 5 star rating, but I feel I need to do so. While the food is great, there are a few things holding that elusive 5 star back...sometimes the food is overly salty with way too much soy, it is always so crowded - even if you have a reservation or are doing pickup, the selection is fairly limited overall, and the price to value is just brutal - you don't get a lot of food for the money! I do like Din Tai Fung, but sometimes just can't believe it is this hyped.

They really know what they're doing. Everything is so delicious and I've never had a less than stellar server. The sauces, the dumplings, so good! I just wish there were one or two options without red meat so I could get shrimp dumplings but maybe one day!

The food here is quality, there’s no doubt about that. The prices are just exceedingly high for when considering the portion sizes. Even if you’re being careful with what you order, you can easily spend over $100 for dinner for two people and STILL leave feeling hungry. If value is something of a priority for you, consider going somewhere else. If money isn’t an issue at all for you, then this place is pretty good. The service, atmosphere, and quality of the flavors are not bad.

Great food and atmosphere!
