DIN TAI FUNG Hankyuumeda Main store

I used to love Din Tai Fung but they are no longer what it was anymore. Their quality of food is quite disappointing including the signature dish xialongbao…dumpling skin is thicker and filling foes not wow in the mouth. Their new dish Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai is totally misleading by i...ts name…there is no pork inside but filled with just sticky rice. Din Tai Fung lost its quality today and now it’s a global big name chain restaurant just like McDonald.

We travelled Asia and loved this chain, a bit like McDonald’s where you know what you’re getting, but this one is nothing like the other 3 or 4 we went to. You can’t see the kitchen, the staff are unhelpful, and altogether sadly it wasn’t good food or a good experience.

If you want the good Din Tai Fung experience, better go in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Australia or perhaps other locations as well. Service at this branch is so bad that you just wouldn't believe that it is a Din Tai Fung nor that it is a restaurant in Japan. Moreover, all dim sum dishes, and most ot...hers as well, are pork based, thus not suitable for vegetarians and people of faith who avoid eating pork. Other branches of Din Tai Fung have a splendid selection of dim sum fillings and other appetizers.

Very famous Chinese restaurant, especially for its Xiao Long Bao. This restaurant always makes very long queue, you’d better wait before it opens at 11:00am. Maybe around 10:40 will be fine. Weekday it’s not so bad, but weekend will be horrible. If you miss to be there, you’ll need to wait.

Go to Taipei and eat better. They have more variety and don't need to wait for so long.... Service is also better in Taipei... don't waste your time here.
