Gitone is an art studio that also has a restaurant that serves Chinese food. The food here is served with high quality ingredients. The food here is ordered as a set for lunch and a tasting menu for dinner. The price is definitely on the high side but the food is tasty. During lunch time I would expect to pay about 200 hkd per head and around 400-600 hkd per person for dinner. My four star rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Ambience: 4 stars Value: 3 stars Recommended dish: The ginger scallion grouper

Wild recommendations encouraged us to visit today. Located inside of a shopping mall on the fourth…read morefloor, at 8pm it was loaded with mainly Asians consumers. No reservations taken but no waiting for us. We were seated immediately. A menu was provided that described about fifty choices in Chinese and English. I lack a taste for the exotic so the six items we selected had vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp. We are less adventurous than some and, without guidance, stuck to ingredients of some familiarity. Rather than bringing all at once, there was a measured pace for delivery to our table. As dim sum lovers, we dug in. The experience of robust flavors and the environment combined to give us a genuine Hong Kong experience. Our total bill was less than $100US.

Dang this was a big letdown. I've heard so many good things about Din Tai Fung so I was truly…read moreexcited when I saw it at the mall. Getting to try it in Hong Kong, the home of Dimsum, I thought this was going to be a 10/10. Yeah, not quite. The wrapping of each dishes were thicker than most places, so that was already offputting. That plus the taste of the fillings inside the xiao long baos, it's like you eat one and you already feel fed up and over it. And then there was no Har Gow in the menu, one of the most essential in a dimsum restaurant... Price was also much more expensive than your typical dimsum places in Hong Kong, and then some outrageous charges like $12 for tea per person, when it's literally one teapot at a table... and adding an additional 10% if you want to take the dishes to go if you don't finish... Yeah, this is a hard no. The only reason why I'm even giving it a two star rating is because customer service was spectacular and the tea was pretty tasty.

The walk-in line is always short and the pricing is "relatively" more affordable. The menus of HK and NYC DTF are more or less the same. Read on for the comprehenaive review of all my favorites: ＊Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling 小籠包 After all these years, DTF's xiao long bao still has a special place in my heart -- thin wrapper and juicy meat fillings. The temperature and dumpling size are just perfect. ＊Spicy Pork & Veggie Wonton 菜肉紅油抄手 ＊Fried Pork Chop Egg Fried Rice 炸豬排蛋炒飯 My second top recs are the spicy pork & veggie wontons + fried rice combo. My taiwanese friend taught me to drizzle some spicy sauce over the fried rice -- chef's kiss. The scallion egg fried rice is flavorful and the pork chop is grilled to perfect tenderness. ＊Spring Onion & Soy Sauce Dry Noodle 蔥油拌面 If you are more into noodles, you should definitely get their scallion mixed dry noodle. It is bursting with flavor and I saw many tables ordered the same dish. ＊Braised Wheat Gluten 上海烤麩 ＊Braised Beef Soup 紅燒牛肉湯 Our go-to sides to enjoy with the dumplings and mains. ＊Steamed Taro Paste Dumpling 荔芋小籠包 ＊Steamed Mini Black Sesame Bun 迷你黑芝麻包 For dessert, it is interesting to try the taro paste xiaolongbao. It is not too sweet and the taro filling is smooth. The mini black sesame bun is packed with nutty and earthy flavor.

I'd say just a few people, no more than 15. But I did see that a few minutes after we were seated, more people showed up waiting in line. This restaurant had the most attentive staff I've ever been to. Not just for a dim sum restaurant, any restaurant, period! Not in an annoying (American way), but they're there to remove empty plates as soon as it's finished and there for your needs if you needed something. Now the food... They gave instructions on how not to burn yourself eating xlb.. because we've all been there... Too hangry and excited to eat it as soon as it arrives to your table. Xlb was very good! Actually, every dish we got were all very good! We'd definitely like to try the San Jose, CA location one since it's close to home... Just to compare if the taste will be consistent. :)

Not too expensive and also a good price to be expected from any food of good quality. As for the food, the menu has many items of Taiwanese style. The particularly good and also the house signature dish would be the Beef soup noodle. The noodle has a good chew of it, very good texture. I personally love the thin style. As per the soup, it taste good with flavor that is not too strong and not too bland. As for the meats, they are cooked to be right texture that bring out the flavor with also just enough of marinated taste. I haven't tried many side dish or main dish outside of the noodle. But I do recall the few side dishes I tried were not disappointing as well. The venue is also clean and comforting with plenty of room for seating. A highly recommended place for good and casual Taiwanese food.

Wow, almost ten years later, my updated review of Din Tai Fung (DTF) in New Town Plaza of Shatin…read moreis now posted. The location remains well alive at the basement level near several other eateries and the movie theater. The other tenants have already come and go while DTF is kicking. The crowds are still very present and seating is hard to come by without any wait, especially during dinner hours regardless of being a weekday or weekend. However, their previous system of securing a table by reservation online via an app has long been gone. The only way to reserve a table is to wait in line in person and they won't seat you until the entire party is present. The service is still great and quite attentive. The menu extensively includes a variety of dumplings, including those pan-fried, steamed, or soup dumplings. They also offer amazing noodles, noodle soups, fried rice, hot and cold appetizers, vegetable dishes, and a nice handful of desserts. The flavor is also on point for all the options I've ordered and not one dish to disappoint. My group and I always found a favorite item such as the pork chop fried rice, spicy chili oil dumplings, crab roe soup dumplings, jellied ham, and more. It's really an endless list of must-gets because there's hardly anything on the menu we would refuse. Overall a group favorite because of all the options on the menu plus legendary handcrafted soup dumplings that has thin enough skin to hold all the soup without the leak and juicy meat. It's still on my must-visit list everytime I'm around.

My friend, who happened to visit DTF a few days ago, concurred with my verdict. The skin over here is thinner, the meat filling not as clumpy and juicier. By itself, DTF's dumpling is very good, after all, it's an international chain known for their soup dumplings. But side by side, Ye Shanghai has a better XLB, at least by Hong Kong standard, which always prizes a thin wrapper. We ordered a variety of other dishes, from wine chicken to shanghai noodles, and they are all quite delicious, and compare favorably to the same dish I've tried elsewhere. The only downside is, as you can imagine from its location, that this place is pricier. The pork belly wrapped with fragrant leaves is melt-in-your-mouth succulent, but not cheap at HKD30 (about US$4) for piece slightly over 1" cube in size.
