Ding Tai Fung

Delicious food, very clean and modern restaurant and kind staff. Food is "cleaner" not overly salty or oily. Prices are a bit higher than other comparable restaurants but worth it for quality service, food and atmosphere.

We got 4 dishes: pork noodle soup with pickled cabbage, pork buns, black pepper beef teneerloin, soup pork dumplings

The food is great, but they should really change the hours. They say they close at 10pm, but 915pm is the last call. After 915pm, they don't make any food at all.

My first time here for dim sum was fabulous - the food was EXCELLENT and the servers were pleasant and helpful, although it was hard to get their attention at times. The chicken corn soup (a favourite of mine) was superb and the spicy wonton dish was to DIE for; I’ll definitely be coming back for these and more!

The restaurant is large, we showed up around 1pm on a Sunday and didn’t have to wait for a table. There was also ample parking.

I don't eat shanghainese food too often but my friend wanted me to try. The menu was only in Chinese, perhaps I could've asked for one in English as well. The price is a bit higher than I would prefer. Our bill came to $60 + tax and tip for 2 people (and leftovers). The food feels a bit heavy and oily and unfortunately the daan daan noodles could only be eaten fresh (the leftovers tasted like pure oil and salt). The inside of the restaurant is nice, bright and open. I would not oppose to returning here but I would not choose it. Could be that shanghai food is just not my cup of tea.

It is true to the original restaurant in Taiwan. Best things are tge steamed dumplings and spring onion pancakes. Utterly scrumptious.

We went there around 1pm in a Saturday. It is not crowded and still lots of tables available. We ordered some dimsum. The dimsum we had are pretty ordinary. The prices are too much for what they offer. Condiments like soy sauce which is a Chinese staple is not on the table. We have to ask for it. Service is the same as any other restaurant. Nothing special. Upon payment. They offered a 10% discount if you pay cash and so I did with tip. They insisted that tip cannot be less than 12%. I always thought that tipping is never mandatory. If you cannot survive from the wages you earn from your work, then look for something else or talk to your manager and ask for a raise. If you need a better career with higher pay, go back to school and learn a skill or become a professional. The food they serve should be enough to pay their wages as their food is not cheap. I left a tip the first time and I believe it was a fair amount from the service they provided. I won’t go back there again and would not recommend it.

The restaurant is spacious and has a nice decor, but the food was quite average. I’m not sure i want to come back as there is nothing really special about the restaurant. The AC was turned on high, so better bring a jacket.

The steamed Soup Dumplings were very good. The Souffle Balls stuffed with Sesame Paste were the best. Usually other restaurants only provide the ones with red bean paste. Only this one that I found could provide with sesame paste. So.good.

Visited this place recently just for the hype that it has over tiktok so wanted to try it once. Dumplings and wonton were really good but the soup noodles were really average.
Ambience: too loud and too noisy. Not my thing.

The pan fried bun is so terrible, it’s like an overnight stream bun, put it on the fried pan to cook a little & bring to the table. Inside is full of Fats, so lt looks like it’s soup. It tastes so gross. When we asked the server for extra napkins (because of the running fats) The server just like throw them to us. So disappointed.

Didn’t taste good at all - I’m from Taiwan and I had the og brand and honestly the two stores in Toronto are a bad knockoff. Shame on them for slandering the original brand and getting away with law loopholes.

Everything we ordered was very well made and presented. It is comparable to the Markham location. Food came out in a timely manner, servers were attentive and polite. Would come back again!

Had an pretty bad takeout experience. Been here to dine in a few times and recalled it was decent. So maybe just takeout is absolutely no good.

Ordered 7 dishes takeout ranging from dumplings, noodles, soup, snacks. The dumplings were good, but as expected given premium price point. The hot and sour soup was meh, would not order again. Rice cake, and two noodles was where the problem's at. Flavorless and lacking meat. Look at the noodles.it's all noodles and they're clumped up

Quite disappointed. Felt like it was money wasted. 1 star, would not repeat, do no recommend takeout

Parking may be difficult to find during the weekends. The food was excellent, all made fresh.

Din Tai Fung is so amazing like insanely good, every dish with chives was a 10/10 and the soup dumpling were amazing. The service was fast and the whole experience was very enjoyable. No doubt about it definitely 5 stars!

Food is good here. I love their dan dan noodles. It’s tastes like noodles in peanut butter soup and it’s not too spicy. The soup dumpling is also delicious and very juicy. The service would have been more acceptable if the waitress didn’t remind us that “tip is not included”. The location is very convenient as I can hit the dollarama and grocery store right after. Overall a decent experience.

Selected the dim sum choices for dinner. Decent food but quite pricy. But perhaps expected for an internationally recognized restaurant chain. I probably won't return as I don't think it was a good deal, and there's better dim sum elsewhere. However if you like siu long bau, then this is the place to get it.

Admittedly the atmosphere is okay. At least toilet is clean. And the serve is fast so no complaint of that.
The restaurant is a fake brand. I am from Australia. I have been to the real DTF. The real DTF has colourful xiaolong as one of their signature dish. Fake ones don’t. The menu is fake. Of course.
Most of the food are okay. I can tell they hired a cantonese chef because the dishes taste like Cantonese cuisine.
However, the sangji (fried bao) is totally wrong. It’s nothing to resemble an authentic Shanghai Sangji. It’s done wrong and not even look like Sangji at all.picture 1 is what a Sangji is supposed to look like and picture 2 is the ones taken in this fake Ding Tai Feng. The bun is too oily and filling very small with no flavour. The skin is too thick. They basically pan grilled a meat bun and call it a Sangji. I am really disappointed.
Faking a brand is wrong already, wrong way of cooking takes it to a new level of wrongness. Shame.
Will never go back again.

This Ding Tai Fung location is very good compared to the one in Markham. The AC here is very strong so bring a jacket. All the standard dishes from the soup dumplings and noodles are very good.

Great tasting Shanghai dishes. Do try the soup filled dumplings. Great service and lots of space between tables. Great alternative if Grandeur Palace is full even though the cuisine is different. There is a window to look into the kitchen where you can see the dumplings and other dishes being worked on. Parking can be scarce when the mall is busy. There is also a large Chinese grocery store in the same mall.

The dining hall is spacious and clean. Food are delicious and authentic, if you know what to order. Price are average, not too pricey. Service is excellent! The servers we encountered were genuinely caring for their customers. Ample parking.

Food is so so. Service is close to none. Servers always chit chatting or looking anywhere but at the customer. Spacious and clean are the only good things I can say, not coming back
