Din Tai Fung - Glendale (CA)

5 /5 Aaliyah S: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) We came into Din Tai Fung around 12–12:30 PM and got lucky with perfect timing. Even though this location is huge with tons of indoor and outdoor seating, it wasn’t very busy when we arrived. No wait at all, and there were seats available at the bar, so we walked right in and sat down. This was our first time at this location (we’ve been to many others), and it did not disappoint. David was our server/bartender and he was super friendly and attentive the whole time. Food came out quickly and everything was amazing classic Din Tai Fung consistency. Every dish we ordered was great, and we even took some home. You can always count on the food being solid here, which is why I love this place. By the time we were leaving, a line had started to form and it was getting busy, so we definitely hit it at the right time. Overall, a great experience and always a go-to spot.

5 /5 Steven James: Outstanding dumplings and such a fresh and delicious experience! Our waiter was knowledgeable and so attentive it really helped enhance the experience. I think my best bite was the shrimp pork spicy wontons, the chili sauce was subtle but with a kick while offering a big bite with large pieces of shrimp. Next time I’d skip the shao mai, they’re presentable but offer very limited taste, especially if familiar with shao mai. I always say over order and a perfect option for groups of 2-4 since everything is sharing. Loved that you can now join waitlist remotely and even reservations! Also this restaurant is in a mall, not close to any of the parking lots, we just parked on the street and walked a few blocks to avoid that mall.

5 /5 Victoria Stewart: After what seems like forever, I finally got to try Din Tai Fung. Il list what we ordered and give a review at the end! Brace yourselves: Matcha milk tea. Amaretto sour. Cucumber salad. Pork Xiao Long Bao. Chicken fried rice. Bok Choy. Garlic green beans. Noodles with spicy sauce. And lastly, the chocolate & mochi Xiao long bao w/ cream sauce. I wont lie. I went in with no expectations solely because it is so popular. I was worried it might be overhyped, but I was wrong. Everything was so delicious. The chocolate mochi was my favorite though and a must get. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and our waitress is so friendly, and so bubbly, I would love to have her again on my next visit. They blew me away & per my friends it’s consistent. So do with that information what you will, but I say its worth the visit!

5 /5 Kayla Valencia: I decided to stop in here on a Thursday errand trip at the mall just after the lunch rush and sat quickly at the bar. The pork Xiao Long Bao were fresh and the green beans were perfect. This was my first time at this location and would highly recommend it. I’m always impressed when a chain restaurant is able to maintain the level of food quality across locations and this one kept that service up! Thanks!
