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. :)

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.

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.

Browsed the menu and decided to give it a try. Luckily, we were seated within minutes on Sunday. We ended up ordering a few dishes and all were good. Wished I had ordered some xiao long baos but I was really craving the fried pork chops and the chow lian goh. The pork chop was fried to a golden brown and loved the slight curry flavoring they add to it. Only dish I didn't really care for was the chopped veggie with tofu skin dish. It had a weird taste to me but then again it could've just been the lack of sleep I had on the plane ride from Male. Would head back to try some of their other items.

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.

Some of my family members in HK claimed it to be one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong.

They have huge dining hall that easily fits few hundred guests. We ordered pearl shrimp dumplings, crab cake, roasted duck and waygu beef noodles soup for our meal. All the items had amazing flavor. Roasted duck had delicious crispy skin. I had never seen waygu beef in a soup dish before. The soup was mixed with vegetables, little spicy, but full of flavor. The service was top notch at the restaurant. All the staff members were super attentive, making sure water glasses/ tea cups were full all the time, cleaning out empty dishes and helping guests with all other requests. Dishes were served in short time, only the baked crab cake took long. The restaurant also gives 20% discount Marriott Bonvoy members.
