Din Tai Fung Santa Clara Reviews from The Last Year
Luckily I was able to snag a reservation, so there was no
Luckily I was able to snag a reservation, so there was no wait. It was clean and gave a modern vibe. I always get the cucumbers to start, they're a must. The green beans were extra garlicky and good this time. The pork chop over fried rice was okay, but the fried rice was super bland. The shanghai rice cakes were phenomenal, so flavorful. The pork xiao long bao were delicious, but the skin was a little too hard and dry for my liking. The beef noodle soup was savory with a hint of spice and the meat was super tender. I tried the viral chocolate mochi xiao long bao and it definitely lives up to its hype, especially with the salted cheese foam!
Great sit down spot.
Ambiance is vibrant with great decorations. Food is fresh and delicious. Only thing I have to say negatively about this spot is the wait, but the servers are fast to bring the food out. But expect an hour to two hour wait each time. Good to put your name in and walk around the mall to shop.
Din Tai Fung is always a 10/10 experience.
The Spicy Wontons & Pork XLBs are a must & the Chocolate XLB are incredible
The BEST food, I ever tasted in Asia - Tawainese Restaurant.
I will come here again with friends.
Had to make the reservation a month in advance for a
Had to make the reservation a month in advance for a weeknight dinner slot. I wanted to their famous dumplings for the longest time but was always skeptical with the low rating on yelp. Their service is quick and the restaurant was packed on a weeknight as well. Dishes: Kurobuta Pork XLB - According to the reviews and our server this was one of the most popular dishes on the menu and for good reason. They take a while to come and may arrive after other dishes but that's because almost every table orders it, it's that good. Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Dumplings: I was expecting a lot from these dumplings, but unfortunately they didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai: I liked the shao mai more than the dumplings above. Our server also recommended Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai over the Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Dumplings and she was absolutely right. Chicken Spicy Wontons: This was a favourite from the meal as well. The spicy sauce made the whole dish work for me. I would definitely recommend it. Noodles with Spicy Sauce: The noodles were the weakest dish on the table of everything we ordered. There wasn't much flavour and springiness in the noodles for me. Chicken and Mushroom Buns: I think they were okay. Nothing great about them. I would not reorder them as there are better dishes on their menu. Chocolate & Mochi XLB with the side of Sea Salt Cream: This was the star of the meal for me and I could be biased since I love chocolate. I feel it is mandatory to get the side of sea salt cream with the chocolate dumpling. That combination is made in heaven. If there wasn't a huge waiting line, I wouldn't mind going to the restaurant for just this dessert. Was it worth the wait? I guess. Would I dine here again? Probably. But then there are so many dumpling options in bay area that I don't think I would go through the hassle of making the reservation a month in advance. I wouldn't mind sitting at their bar since anyway the tables in the dinning room section are so close to each other that you can almost hear the entire conversation on the other table with zero privacy.
There is going to be a wait - that's just the way it is.
My sister and I have always gone right when they open and we usually only have to wait for about 30 minutes. Get the cucumber salad, you won't regret it! I don't know what they do to the cucumbers but it's SO GOOD. The chocolate xiao long baos with mochi is a must too. Honestly, everything is yummy and the standard is there - everything tastes pretty much the same as the ones in Taiwan. The staff are all really friendly as well, considering how busy it always is. It's impressive.
2.5 hour wait for reservation but easy to spend time at
2.5 hour wait for reservation but easy to spend time at mall. Attentive and friendly service. However, disappointed that the XLB came out lukewarm.
This place was awesome! The food was fresh and so
This place was awesome! The food was fresh and so delicious. The staff was really nice. The service was quick. Will def be back.
I came to this location on a Monday night and to no
I came to this location on a Monday night and to no surprise it was packed! Luckily for me, my friend put his name on the waitlist and was able to get in line a bit earlier so my total wait was about 15 minutes. Din Tai Fung is a global Taiwanese dim sum chain that is known for their quality and that is evident when you get there! The restaurant has a large window in front where mall goers can watch the diligent and focused workers make fresh soup dumplings to order. It's truly mesmerizing watching them skillfully add exactly 18 folds to each famous Xiao Long Bao. As I walked to my table, I noticed the restaurant is spacious, large, and simplistic with a very modern bar in the center. My friend and I sat down and were greeted by a very friendly server! He was extremely patient and happily showed us some menu items that he recommended us to try. We ordered the Cucumber Salad, String Beans with Garlic, Shrimp and Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai, Kurobuta XLB, Shrimp and Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons, and the Shrimp Fried Noodles. The cucumber salad was cold, refreshing, lightly sweet, slightly spicy. The string beans were firm, crisp, and had subtle garlic flavor. The shao mai, xlb, and wontons came out piping hot. They were tender, juicy, and had a nice perfectly thin skin around each. My favorite of the three had to be the spicy wontons since I'm a chili oil kind of girl! The shrimp fried noodles had a satisfying chew and was pan fried with shrimp and generous amounts of cabbage and spinach-- a little too much for my liking. We ended dinner with the famous Chocolate and Mochi XLB. All I can say was it was delicious! Oozing with molten chocolate truffle and wrapped in a thin mochi skin, I highly recommend this dessert! My overall experience was great! The only con about this restaurant is the portions are very small for the high price.
Quality and consistency no matter which one you end up at.
I've been to three locations now, and they all deliver on the DTF experience. I am not one to frequent chain restaurants in general, but this is an exception. I wouldn't call the service extraordinary, but they're attentive, timely, and get the order right. What more do you really need? The food is great, and there's a wide variety of options to please a large group. There can be a long wait if you walk up, but make a reservation and you can avoid that problem.
Had a system wait time snafu when our party of 7 initially
Had a system wait time snafu when our party of 7 initially checked-in for seating. Manager (Loren) swooped in with ease and elegance to resolve the issue with no push-back or defensiveness. She demonstrated the style of hospitality comparable to operations by Danny Meyer / USHG. Aaron & Albert - Hope you're well aware Loren is a benchmark asset for service, accountability, and triage within your team. Thank you Loren.
We waited almost 3 hours to get a table at this place.
.. it felt like endless wait! So I would definitely recommend reservations... the bar seating also had a wait time, if you walk in... so definitely reservations recommended... but the food was really really good... we tried good variety of options... they do give their menu on a sheet of paper, you get tick what all you want at the beginning and the food will be served one course after the other as per your preference.. we ordered some drinks and they tasted great, so we went ahead and ordered again... dumplings, potstickers, ramen everything tasted good... must try is the chocolate dumplings... they serve them warm with chocolate oozing out as you bite in to.. they serve with a small Vanilla cream to dip it.. absolutely brilliant... must try!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
