Din Tai Fung San Diego Reviews
Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao is 10/10! Service was great.
The waiter was very helpful in letting us know popular dishes as we did a large family order to share. We were able to try many different items. Great space as well.
It's din tai fung.
Always good. Everything is good. It's always packed. Make reservations and plan your visit in advance if you can.

I believe the food is excellent.
The service is so accommodating and it's a fun ambience. However, it's the food that will keep me coming back. There are so many wonderful things on the menu, but there are two things you absolutely have to have one is the spicy shrimp and

Always delicious!! Service is also amazing! They were very busy this day and tried to streamline ordering by having you get started while you wait which I guess is a good idea! I cant get over how polite and nice the servers are!!

Poor service and bad waitlist system
My family of five wanted to join the waitlist for Din Tai Fung at UTC mall. When we checked, the wait was already 2 hours, so we tried to join online—but parties of 5+ have to check in in person. Four of us were at the mall, one was still at home.

This is my favorite restaurant to go to but lately they haven't been doing as amazing. The portions are smaller for the bbq ribs and the food hasn't been the same as when I first started going. Also they are now charging a reservation cancellation fe
The pork xiao long bao are the best.
Also love the garlic green beans and brazed beef soup. If you don't have a reservation be prepared for a LONG wait. At least the one at UTC has a lot of shopping opportunities. Once you are seated you will always be served by energetic, happy empl
Loved their vegetarian options.
We had noodles with spicy sauce, vegan dumplings, green beans, shrimp potstickers, cucumber salad, and Thai teas. All was great and we will be back.
Always Delicious food, great service, beautiful place.

It was my first time ever trying dumplings and this place did not disappoint. Everything we got on the menu was delicious and the service was great! You must try the lychee Martini. Great ambiance, only "negative" thing to say was the rest
It is always a good time.
The food is delicious and there are plenty to pick from. The space allows for a lot of natural light which creates an outdoors feel.

Man, oh man, oh man! Best sweet and sour pork ribs! Tender, charred just right, and served with a savory sweet perfectly spiced sauce! Save the sauce plate for the rest of your meal. We even ordered ribs to go! And the dumplings live up to their exqu

Bad, tourist trap
Decor and service was great, but the food was not. Overpriced, tiny portions, does not taste that great. Soup dumpling had no flavor and were tiny. I do not recommend this place at all. My family were disappointed by how bad this place was. I rather

Love Din Tai Fung!
We visited here as a family and were so impressed by the attentive service and the flawless food. Everything was delicious, well seasoned, and tasted fresh. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!
It's hard to go wrong here.
It's a popular and well-established chain for a reason. This location in particular is quite busy with reservations usually booked out at least a few weeks. They accept walk-ins, but the wait can get pretty long. But it's nice that it's in a mall so
Din Tai Fung has very delicious food.
When eating in, I cannot recommend more the xiao long bao, the green beans, and the cucumber salad. The service is very good, very patient and very personable. It fits in with the vibe of UTC, which is mostly wealthy and slow. I can't give 5 stars be

You should try to make a reservation, we went on a Saturday afternoon and the waitlist was 2.5 hours long. We decided to wait it out as we had some shopping to do. The ambiance is very busy, very crowded, and there are so many workers delivering food
Very good food but it needs a little time to make .
I rated Din Tai Fung 5 out of 5! The food was very yummy and tasty 😋 and the drinks were also very delicious too! Din Tai Fung is one of the best Chinese restaurants! I recommend you go there , especially if you like Chinese food . The food jus
Not Good For Business Meetings
Do not make a business lunch reservation here!! They will NOT seat you unless your entire party is present, extremely inconvenient for meeting clients. Also they only have one long line to get checked in, regardless if you have a reservation or not.
Great family outing and meal
We visited DTF today for lunch. I’ve been to Shanghai location so this was second location in the chain. Service and attention to details was outstanding. We were seated immediately ( with reservation…highly recommended). Summarized kings ex

Yum! Must stop!
Great food but probably a long wait! We waited 1 hour. The food is delicious though. Enjoyed the Xiao long bao! So good and juicy!
A unique variation on the average Asian dining experience
We ordered a variety of items from the menu including several variations of won tons, fried rice, shrimp noodles, book Chou, green beans and beef ribs which were by far my favorite. This is a large restaurant and it took awhile for all our food to
Overpriced
Just like DTFs at other locations, this place is packed and requires a long wait, so try to reserve online in advance if you can. Food is good, but overpriced and overrated. There are other venues in this town that serve better Chinese food and char

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

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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Din Tai Fung San Diego 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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 San Diego!
* 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.
