Din Tai Fung - S San Diego

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 come, we enjoyed visiting while we waited. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere was clean and inviting although a bit on the noisy side. Overall more than satisfied with the entire experience.

This was our first time here, from the Midwest. We loved it. We had the chicken and pork dumplings which you take a small bite into, drink the soup/broth and then eat the dumpling, was light and a delicious bite. The fried rice both the chicken and the pork (pork is like a pork chop placed on top see photo) was really good! We have the infused cucumbers as well not pictured and the garlic green beans which were amazing. The pear martini pictured definitely was strong but a good balance, definitely a little punch in your mouth.The overall experience was great. Family style experience and the staff were super friendly.Make reservations for this place ahead of time. Family friendly and fast service.For roughly 6 adults we easily spent 400 between drinks and food!

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 charge less.

It is best to go a bit early put your name down, walk around the mall then come back to the best food in town.Modern Asian, welcoming, and friendly atmosphere. Food is AMAZING. Highly recommend pork short ribs and garlic green beans! Great varieties of Vegan.Jadyn, our waitress, was super friendly and professional. We received a wonderful service.It is a must go place in San Diego!Dietary restrictions: Amazing vegan options!

The food here is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. While you wait, you can watch the staff preparing the dumplings, which is quite entertaining. However, the noise level is high, so I wouldn’t describe it as a romantic spot. I highly recommend coming with a group to share a variety of dishes. They also make splitting the bill a breeze. And definitely treat yourself to the chocolate dumpling—it was a game changer for me!
