The location was so off the typical path that if I didn't know about this restaurant, I would never have walked by and decided to stop by. The decor was classically Chinese and modern at the same time. On the traditional side, they had roasted ducks hanging off a rack, yet the interior was so beautifully and tastefully decorated that it didn't feel tacky or old-fashioned in an offensive way. The food was spot on. We ordered the following: 1. Kang-pao chicken 2. Bamboo, woodear and celery stir fry - this dish was punched with flavor, had great umami, my only complaint was that the bamboo shoots were a bit tough 3. Hot pot stuffed tofu with pork and shrimp in abalone sauce - this was a WINNER! This dish felt like home. It was so comforting and the flavors and textures were in perfect harmony. This dish was served hot which I loved since Sydney is still in winter. It was a perfect dish and the concept worked well. Service was excellent. 5/5 Ambiance was excellent 5/5 Food was good. 4.5/5 We had a great time! I recommend making a reservation. The place was full when we first arrived for lunch when it opened at noon on a Saturday.

The restaurant is tucked away on a sort of back street. Kinda reminded me of the cool restaurants and speakeasies hidden in NYC's Chinatown. There are at least two floors from what I can see and the vibe is immaculate. Great date or group spot. My group had a reservation but we did have to wait a few minutes to be seated. Once we were, our server was awesome (I wish I remembered her name). But let's talk food. The oysters and Ora King Salmon were fantastic. We also ordered prawns, a certain beef order (I forget the exact names) as well as the special fried rice. Everything hit -- including the drinks. Looking forward to my next trip to Sydney (and hitting this spot up).

Been here twice, once for yum cha, once for dinner. The yum cha is definitely better. Went for yum…read morecha on a Sunday afternoon and then another Sunday for dinner, didn't have to book either times. The restaurant is pretty big and can accommodate groups. The yum cha is tasty but can get a little pricey. Overall some pretty good dishes. When I went for dinner, we ordered the peking duck, which I thought was pretty tasty but my cousin said it wasn't presented properly - with one slice of cucumber and no green onion, and too much hoison sauce. The lettuce wraps were a bit salty and didn't have the traditional water chestnuts. The seafood chow mein was good, the veggies were a bit bland. Overall it was a decent dinner, but nothing spectacular. One exciting thing was that the bathroom had toilet seat covers!! It's probably more exciting for me as an American living in Sydney and missing toilet seat covers.

The food was always good, especially the weekend Yum Cha. It just seems to be a lot more efficient. I've never been to YumCha (Dim Sum) and had one of the cart pushing "aunties" ask from across the restaurant whether I wanted more. Usually they glide on past and leave you hungry. Imperial Signature is really worth the effort if you're into Yum Cha. It's best after 11am when the carts are full and the kitchen is heaving.

Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

It's such a disappointment that I didn't get to try it. I got to try some of the other amazing food they offer though. I ordered some of the noodle soups and the xiao long bao, and they tasted far better than any Chinese food I've had in California. (besides maybe in the San Gabriel Valley) The xiao long bao was super juicy and not dry at all. The meat inside and the outside dumpling part of it were put together perfectly and I loved every bit of it. The soups were incredibly flavorful that I could've had many more bowls of it. Overall, the staff was very helpful and all of the delicious food didn't take too long to be made and served to us. I definitely need to come back to try the iconic Peking Duck!

There seemed to be a Din Tai Fung in just about every food court we saw on this trip, so I wanted to give them a go. Two of us shared the Pork Dumpling Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs) and the Fried Pork Chop with Noodle Soup for a light lunch. Neither of us were too impressed. But at least I had the chance to try it and to get it off my mind.

Din Tai Fung is…read moretrendy, and therefore we ignore the terrible value, average dumplings and utter absence of any charm or atmosphere in the slightest. We do this because our hip friends will recognize the location on the Facebook status update, and maybe even 'like' it. There's a qualification: I don't like xiaolongbao. Other than the baffling technical skill I imagine it takes to put soup inside a dumpling, I find them with as little purpose as they have flavour. I truly could eat ten little bamboo servings of the things and remain unsated. Gladly, Din Tai Fung does serve other stuff - the pork and bean dish is my favourite, though the serving is puny, as it is with the passable fried rice. I seem to recall actually getting my fill of it at the Westfield location - the one here was much smaller. Meanwhile, don't order one of the pork buns. It won't be what you want. It's crap. We're in Sydney! North Sydney's a cheap Opal trip away from a heady world of delicious dumplings in Chinatown, and closer still to a classy joint like Uncle Mings, where you can have your bamboo steamers and a crisp lager to go with it. Din Tai Fung may have been something, once, but now it's for people who know no better than to eat at literally the closest spot to the ATM.

First time here & it was a shock to the European or ozzie food as i was used to :). Prices have definitely changed but the fast trolley food &  relaxed yet super busy atmosphere has been the same all these years :D. When it comes around to visiting here now it is a family tradition!! So there are a whole heap of Yum Cha places in the city to go to but i only talk so foundly about this place cause of the memories :), each to their own but this place has never once disappointed me. Its always fun trying to make out what you & the trolley people saying but the best method is pointing & nodding yes or no :D. Yum cha is the ultimate fast food cheat meal hands down, all your favorites quick and easy in a race to eat it lol!! When your hungry & only the best will do :D
