Din Tai Fung - Arcadia

Food is always fresh, hot full of flavor! Some of our favorites are the green beans, chicken fried rice, chicken fried noodles, pork XLB, shrimp pork spicy wontons the sweet tarot XLB for dessert!

The lines here are LONG. My friend and I waited over an hour to be seated. Fortunately this is located inside the Santa Anita mall so we were able to walk around to kill time. The ambiance inside was very nice and gorgeous. Our server was also attentive and nice. For the food, we ordered: Cucumber salad String beans w/ garlic Kurobuta pork XLB Chicken Mushroom buns Vegetable and Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons Sweet Taro Buns The cucumber salad was decent. I couldn't taste any garlic in the string beans w/ garlic, so I was disappointed, but at least it was kind of crispy. The kurobuta pork XLB was good and flavorful, but really small. The chicken and mushroom buns were bland. As for the spicy wontons, everyone raves about them so I was excited to try it, but it was very underwhelming. I got the vegetable and kurobuta pork spicy wontons. They weren't spicy at all and were super bland. The sweet taro buns were just ok. Overall, I found the food to be underwhelming. It was also expensive and the portion sizes were small! Usually I don't mind spending more money on food, if the quality and value is high, but I don't feel like that's what I got here. The wait time is also insanely long. I had a positive customer service experience, but the wait time, price, and quality/value of the food makes me hesitant to come back.

The food at Din Tai is all very good across the board. Love the veggies. The servers and wait staff always are respectful and help us out whenever we need suggestions or questions about the menu. And the seating and layout is comfy. Enough room and doesn't feel like you're too close to people

Good food prices are high but the Food is ok missed my sesame dumplings not the same they only har the steamed buns ones
