Din Tai Fung in Seattle - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the top places for dim sum especially for soup dumplings. I think my only complaint for this type of place is that it’s a little expensive and it’s a bit annoying to get a table if you’re going on a whim but if you do a reservation, you’ll have no issues. One of my favorite things is their chocolate challenge bowl 10 out of 10 would recommend. My friend also heavily recommends the garlic green beans. But also be aware that the truffles a little overrated so don’t go too crazy buying all those items.

Our server (sorry, don’t remember the name) was super sweet and caring, and the food was good and arrived without delays. It was my second time with my family, and will definitely visit again

This place is always crowded, best you make a reservation. Service is great but the food taste I’ve had better in California. Don’t be surprised to spend $40+ for each person.

Excellent food, prompt service, and lovely liquor. It's admittedly a little loud during peak service hours but there's not a lot to be done about that.

Everything was excellent. 2nd time at Dai (1st time at Disneyland) and was brilliant. Server was excellent.

Was visiting Seattle and a friend suggested this place. Loved all the dishes. We got chicken bao, soup dumplings, and Chicken fried rice. The server was very nice too. Please come to Chicago!!! I promise Chicago will love you!

Food, service and atmosphere were spectacular!! We tried several items, including dessert.

Delicious food here as always, especially love the vegan dumplings and shanghai rice cakes. You should also try the chocolate mochi rice cakes, so good!!! Great service and lots of seating. There's also plenty of parking in the U-village shopping area where this restaurant is located.

Food was amazing and service was also pretty good. Loved the soup dumplings and red bean bun!

Had a delicious lunch here with my son. Our server Brinney was so friendly and most attentive.

Great place, excellent food quality and over the top customer services. They make sure you have a great experience.

I’m just impressed. Loved it! I suggest to reserve your table in advance. Food is so good and service too. Really traditional.

Din Tai Fung is a truly unique place to dine that never fails to please, right in the heart of U Village. From the second one walks in the door, one is greeted with warm hospitality and the smell of freshly handmade dumplings. The xiao long bao is perfect, light, full of flavor, and always piping hot. Every dish is painstakingly prepared, be it the silky noodles, fragrant fried rice, or tender green beans, which are perfectly seasoned. The service is also impeccable. Their staff is so welcoming, well-informed, and always ready to recommend something new to try. Even if the place gets full with visitors, it offers a personified experience while the food comes really quick and is nicely plated. Now, if you are in Seattle and the craving stretches into top-tier Chinese cuisine, then it is U Village's Din Tai Fung. It's one of those places that makes a meal an experience worth remembering. Five stars, hands down!

Visit Seattle from Vancouver. Not sure why there’s no Din Tai Fung in Vancouver. Xiao Lung Bao is super! Service and vibe is good especially we go on a weekday

Very fun place to go to, has amazing✨ food and would recommend. ( it’s a very expensive place but it’s worth it) (boba is realy good)

We ❤️ taiwanese food. Surprised to find so many vegan options too, and esp impressed by the sides and appetizers!! For veg, the spicy wontons are a must. As far as atmosphere and service, it wasn't outstanding for the price level to be honest. But the food is delicious.

We love coming to this please when on the west coast, they are always very busy so i would recommend a reservation. They run this place great and the food and service is always the same, great.

Really good food!!! Always a winning choice. And hardest working kitchen staff.

If you’re coming to the Seattle area and you want something truly delicious and authentic…Din Tai Fung needs to be on your short list. Our group of 4 tried at least 8 different dishes and everything was amazing. Definitely leave room for the chocolate mochi for dessert. Everything labeled spicy wasn’t too spicy to me. The flavors just kept getting better. Definitely try the spicy pork dumplings and the ribs. Everything is super clean. Michael was our server and he did an exceptional job. The drinks at the bar are all great. Figure a group of 4 will spend around $200 for dinner.

The truth is that everything is very delicious but the service is very average. They take very bad care of us who are tourists

Very tasty dishes, recommended.

Solid dumplings and soup, great service. They were so helpful in accommodating allergies.

What's not to enjoy about Din Tai Fung? This is a gorgeous location in a busy part of town but still well maintained and worth the trek up for good dumplings. Great variety of vegan/plant-based options so there's something for everyone. The sesame spinach noodles, string beans, and previously enjoyed dumplings are some of the standouts here. Sadly there are still no vegan XLB to be had but I'm sure it'll come in due time. Sadly, they forgot about my vegan dumplings and I didn't have the heart to try and ask for them once everyone had already finished. A small ding on what was already a nice meal. Reservations are a must and be prepared to sit down and enjoy a nice meal with great service.

$30 for this much food is totally overpriced.

Visited seattle for a few days and we had to come here multiple meals because it was so good! Entire group is vegetarian and has a special dietary restriction and they were able to accommodate. if you have certain allergies make sure you triple check with your waiter because small details might me missed (we had allium allergy so had to get that removed in our dishes - which they can mostly do and it was great. however one dish came and i could clearly taste the garlic after start digging into it. this was different because our meal prior the waitress came and asked if we want the garlic oil removed, and I said yes, so that meal was fine. However our 2nd meal here, we said we have allium allergy, but this dish still came with it so we had to get someone who didnt have the allergy to finish it :( With that hiccup aside, services was great and attentive - other than not being super on top of all ingredients in their dishes esp for allergy concerns. I still gave 5 star because I accidentally lost one of my bags from shopping outside in the waiting area and I was able to get it back after the realization - I think by that time a good hour has passed by already, so was super thankful for that :) And of course, food was fantastic - explains why we came back again!

We go here for family Birthdays 🥳 Expensive but worth it for making someone feel special 🥰

Amazing xlb and spicy vegan wantons

On July 5th, I decided to try this place for the first time since I always see it busy at the University Village location. The service and atmosphere were amazing. The staff was really helpful in explaining all the options. The food looked and tasted amazing, BUT a couple of hours later, I got food poisoning and have been off work since.

First time visiting this location, the service was good and lots of availability for reservations. We always have their Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Vegan Dumplings, Noodles with Spicy Sauce and love to finish with Chocolate & Mochi XLB.

The food is always amazing. Our server Michael was nice and they accommodated us so kindly when our 10m old spilled my beer.

Ding Tai Fung in University Village is a classic spot to visit, and it is a must-try for sure. Make sure you book ahead of time to avoid long long wait lines. Their Xiao Long Bao’s are great! Freshly made and very juicy, I would recommend trying some and the dessert Xiao Long Bao’s as well. I particularly liked the Spicy Wontons; they were hands down my favourite. I don’t know if it is worth the 3-hour wait and hype others may say, price can be rather steep too for a group of people. Worth a try but not sure how many times I will come per year, maybe 2 or 3 max?

Amazing food, fast service, friendly staff, easily one of the best restaurants around.

Incredible dumplings and bao. Highly recommend the spicy wonton and green beans. Service was also top notch.

Delicious! Always love coming to Din Tai Fung!

Im literally in tears. back when I was a child I stay with my auntie after a bad Day at school from being bullied my auntie would take me to my favorite restaurant that served hot and sour soup. Since I'm an adult now haven't had hot and sour soup in a decade and restaurant closed down during covid. Coming here and ordering the hot and sour soup. Brings me to tears because it reminds me of all the times I spent with my auntie after-school and living with her. Thank you Sincerely

Excellent food experience! -Matt

Food is AMAZING!! You have to try the soup dumplings. The restaurant looks just like a gym cafeteria to me… was very busy at 7pm. SO loud. But everything the workers were in control of was amazing. Also a bit on the pricy side for the amount of food.

I had been dying to try this place, or so I thought. It’s nothing super special because it’s more expensive and not better than other dim sum places I’ve been. Maybe because it’s a chain? I’ve had really great dumplings and bao before.

Honestly it's over hyped, It's ight at best!

This was one of the best restaurants that I’ve been to in a long time. I’ll certainly come back. Great service great food. Everything was Yum.

Food is very good, maybe a bit over rated vs the pricing. Service is excellent.

I had a 1st date there where she set a reservation for an hour after she told me she was going to get there, wouldn't let me order my own food, and wouldn't split the bill. Quality of food and service were top notch, though.

✔️Xiaolongbao✔️Shrimp meat in red oil ✔️Kale ✔️Pork Ribs and Egg Fried Rice ✔️Fresh orange green tea No need to queue on Monday afternoon I ordered some of the most popular dishes in Taiwan. There isn’t much difference in taste! ! The service staff is very enthusiastic

I live on the East Coast and visit my daughter in Seattle. I rarely rave about a restaurant or the food. In this case, I rave about the entire experience at Din Tai Fung

The food is absolutely fantastic. The orders come fairly quickly and regularly, and the wait staff is very attentive and discreet.

Just want to remind everyone. Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese Restaurant. There have been inconsistencies in Google Map’s category throughout Din Tai Fung’s branches. Thank you.

Found eggshell particles in the fried rice. Needless to say, it was not a pleasant experience EDIT: Their guest service rep was quick and polite.

Serves some of the best shanghainese/chinese dishes I've had in my life. That's all I'll say about this place. A bit pricy but well worth it!

Amazing food. Energetic service. But what is with plastic forks for dessert? I expect real silverware when dining in, not single use plastic that will be thrown out.

Regular Din Tai Fung with a standard menu. Taste was good as well. The staff accommodated all our special needs and courteous. Reservation highly recommended on weekends. Easy access from attached parking lot. Elevators and escalators available.

I looked inside and it looked pretty good.

The best tasty Chinese food I ever have

Very good soup dumplings and other DTF classic dishes. However, the flavors and tastes of the dishes here are not exactly the same as in Taiwan. But it's still very good compared to other Chinese restaurants.

There is a reason why every Din Tai Fung location is packed, this is the best place to enjoy dumplings. Nothing screams quality more than the fact they make it fresh in front of you. The only downside are the crowds. I get turned off by the giant crowds and often prefer a quieter place to have dinner. This is kind of the In-n-out burger of Asian food.

Kudos to the Receptionist they give us a table availability, We booked a reservation to this place but GPS took us different location.

GAS. Delicious food. I highly recommend the chocolate xiao long bao and the pork xiao long bao. Long wait times for a table but worth the wait. Service is quick and somewhat impersonal but I like that they’re not overbearing.

I asked for a table and the staff were very rude. Once they would listen to me, they said the wait time was ALMOST 2 HOURS! This is ridiculous.

It’s good but questionable if it is worth the price.

Their soup dumplings and steam Buns are great. All the food was delicious, but be prepared to spend a lot. Wouldn't go again solely based on the cost, but worth going to once.

Simple decoration, authentic Chinese cuisine. Today I ordered seafood hot pot or spicy foreign pork noodles. Regardless of the side dishes and cooking methods, they all suited my taste. There was a lot of ingredients, and one hot pot with some ingredients was enough for two people. The waiters are very friendly and can communicate in Chinese.

It doesn't taste right! It’s not the smell of Yongkang Street in my memory. Xiaolongbao, sweet without gravy when biting into it Fried rice cake, it seems that the soy sauce chosen has been changed. After using the red oil, the smell of sand tea is gone. Very disappointed Is it because of the transplant to the United States? It’s not that it’s not delicious, but it’s not special anymore and the price/performance ratio is low. Having said that, the taste of what I ate at Dayuanbai in Hsinchu last year has also changed. Alas~

The taste is very authentic. It is recommended to wait for your table first and then go shopping nearby.

It had been at least 5 years since we've last been to Din Tai Fung. We enjoyed our meal. I think I liked the Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons the most out of all the things we've selected. For dessert, we loved the Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao, and I could have finished an order of 5 on my own because of how good it was. I'm not sure when we'll be back, but I eventually want to try everything on the menu at least once.

The best tasting xiao long bao ever! 🥟

Yo, Din Thai Fung is straight fire, fam. The food is bomb and the service is on point, especially my bartender Carlos. He hooked it up with the dope cocktails and made sure we were straight all night. The atmosphere was chill and the food was off the chain - from the bomb dumplings to the fire noodles, everything was hittin'. Definitely recommend hittin' up Din Thai Fung and ask for Carlos to make your night lit, you won't be disappointed.

They have great options for dim sum! A fun experience for sure. We love the soup dumplings, but everything we had was amazing. Very busy so make sure to snag a reservation if you can.

Great service and attention, fantastic plate selection and overall a great shared dining experience. I recommend the pork soup dumplings.

Don't care, love everything about this place. Food is amazing, service is fast, and it feels like a bustling place while also feeling calming for whatever that's worth.

Always a fun time. Good service. Good food.

Best ever dine-in experience. Adam exceeded our expectations. BEST server overall in my experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Such a good experience and great food! Would highly recommend the orange green tea, cucumber salad, and of course the chocolate xiao long bao with sea salt foam!

The food was wonderful and we were well taken care of by our server. The room was very large and full of very happy diners. We were seven (3 kids) seated around a large round table in the middle of the dining room, family style fun feasting!

Great service, great food! Family style eating here. Everyone can get their favorites and have a chance to try something new.

We visited this Din Tai Fung location on a busy Thursday. Overall we had a good time - I'd describe the experience as P. F Chang's but with a focus on dim sum. We had some great dishes, and some only average dishes. Would probably try other locations, but won't be seeking Din Tai Fung out again necessarily.

Extremely busy. Expensive vs same type of cuisine elsewhere. The are selling the "Experience". Food is good, just be prepared to pay for it.

Gave this place another try! James was our server, he was friendly. What we ordered: 1.) Pork Xiao Long Bao $15.50 for 10 pcs. They were cooked perfectly moist outer skin a burst of soup and pork on the inside. Yum! 2.) Shrimp Pork Wonton Soup, broth was not as seasoned as normal but wonton was tasty. 3.) Braised Beef Noodle Soup the beef was tender and well seasoned and noodles were cooked to the right consistency. I would order this again. Just be prepared as this spot is very busy and noise level can be crazy especially if you have a table of very loud talking people seated next to you! 😳 Update: came back here today for Lunch. Joy our server was absolutely great… unfortunately the food we got today was not on par to what we are accustomed to normally. Lets get to it: 1.) Pork Soup Dumplings: the outer skin was not as soft and supple as usual kind of more dense in texture. 2.) Sweet and Sour Pork ribs my husband said they were a bit too sweet and the meat did not fall off the bone. 3.) Wonton Soup was tasty with the broth that was not over powering and with a slightly ginger taste. 4.) Pork Potstickers they were a bit over cook outer skin was tough. 5.) my husband ordered a Knob creek Rye Neat and he said that the pour was a bit stingy. This restaurant is located on the second level above Starbucks. First time visit. I wanted to have my hubby taste legit Xiao Long Boa. He rarely makes comments on food, but to my surprise he really liked everything we ordered! Alejandro our server was attentive and helpful. We ordered: 1.) Two orders Xiao Long Boa made perfect when you bite into the dumpling its bursts with flavor and juices. 2.) Shrimp & Pork dumplings tasty also. 3.) Won Ton in spicy sauce…yum. 4.) Red Bean Buns 5.) Jasmine Hot Tea We will go again next time I am in Seattle.

Quick turnaround for food, friendly service, and lots of seating!

They don't accept reservations for parties larger than 4?! Kinda ridiculous.

The Xiao Long Bao was not that good, they were not hot and not as soupy as some other places. Everything else was excellent. The ribs are must get.

Excellent dim sum and service. It can be quite loud.

Just ok....service fast and efficient

Tyce was a great server. Super attentive and friendly.

Love love love it! The wok fried noodles and steam dumplings are the best. Don’t forget to try the chocolate momos. We ordered 2-3 things thinking it would be enough as the portions are shareable but they were delicious so kept on ordering. One of my favourite restaurants.

Great sweet and sour ribs! Love the chocolate buns and the green veggie noodles too!

Wonderful time at a large group dinner. Excellent, varied menu. Hot & sour soup, many, different dumplings, vegetables, all excellent. Prompt service. Recommended

It was my Birthday and we had a fantastic time! The food was delicious and the portions were far MORE than we ever anticipated. We definitely had leftovers and, yum! ...They even taste good the next day, but best served fresh. Our server was also simply lovely. We tipped well, and they deserved it. I highly recommend the chocolate dumplings. It's a scrumptious birthday treat!

Really good dim sum, great location and crowd was pretty good.

Higher than the average level in the steamed stuffed bun industry, the level is stable. The service is a little slow compared to the price, but the food is served quickly. The materials used are particular. There is no sense of luxury and professionalism like the Taiwan store.

Busy as expected on a weekend evening but consistent food that is delicious and satiating. The desert sesame buns are the best! Also highly recommend the cucumber gimlet for cocktails.

It’s a bit pricey, but it’s a great Dim Sum experience for a special occasion.

Giving three stars because of the new chopsticks. They’re break so easily and leave wood pieces in the food. I miss the old chopsticks. 🥲

Do not recommend this place as there is over 1.5 hours wait basically every time you visit on weekends. Ridiculously long wait. Not coming back.

When I tell you that this place brings me an immense amount of joy, I am not kidding. I have been frequenting DTF since 2017 and they have never done me wrong. Every single location and order is consistent. I have had nearly everything on the menu, I am loyal to DTF. I might be their #1 fan? Green beans? Yes. Hot & Sour Soup? Yes. Xiao Long Bao? Yes. Sticky Rice & Pork Shao Mai? Yes. Shrimp Spicy Wontons? Yes. I could keep going all night. Don't test me. I have been here for all kinds of occasions and the vibe consistently stays the same. Come here if you want a good dumpling, I don't make the rules. DTF? Yes.

We have been to this delicious restaurant many times and have enjoyed the food every time! The service is very fast, the food is AMAZING, and the only thing I recommend you doing is putting your name in as soon as you can. Because this place is so good it's very popular and you always have some sort of a wait. It's worth it though.

Had the best experience at this location! Our waitress, Sandy, was amazing (so lovely and kind) and service was smooth and professional, not to mention food was phenomenal. Din Tai Fung never fails to impress!

Nice place. As all stores in the U Village are expensive to me.

Siu long Bao, spicy wonton was good. The beef noodle soup can be cooked a little longer and so little noodle. We have to sit at the bar table for our lunch. There were tons of people lining outside, but there were at least 5 or 6 empty table inside. Maybe not enough staff ?

I know this place is supposed to be great, but Dough Zone is a lot better and a lot quieter.

Din Tai Fung is worth knowing if you treasure great Chinese/Taiwanese food. Located in the second floor of a sleek office building in toney University Village next to a Tesla dealership, you ride an escalator to the restaurant's entrance. There's usually a long waiting line. While waiting, you can look through a window and see white-clothed chefs hand-making the dim sum that are among the joys of eating here. This is NOT Panda! The food is simply delicious, no matter what you order. Aside from the variety of dim sum, I urge you to order broccoli with garlic. Yes, broccoli! I loved the shrimp and kurobata pork pot stickers. Don't overlook the noodle dishes, wonton, all delicious and served in a modern luxurious restaurant atmosphere with not a trace of kitsch. Do yourself a favor: go there with someone you really enjoy...and do make a reservation!
