First time trying this location. We ordered the following: 1. Braised beef noodles in soup - good! 2. Green onion pancake - first bite, no taste. second bite, salty. repeat. 3. Pan fried pork dumplings - skin is light, but not much flavour. 4. Shanghai noodles - smells great, but no taste. Would prefer the location at First Markham Place instead. At least you know there's no MSG because of the bland taste.

A nice busy Taiwan/Shanghai cuisine restaurant, bright & fresh interior with a nice vibe, great food of northern Chinese dim sum and noodles, extensive menu, juicy 小籠包, 紅燒牛肉麵 with soft succulent big chunks of beef shank, fast efficient service with helpful staff.

Decided to try this place on a whim for some nostalgic Shanghainese food for my father and we were really glad we did. The food here was delicious. Definitely known for their Xiao long bau, and we also tried the beef pancake wrap, assorted seafood and vegetable platter, and rice cakes. Would love to come back and try some other favourites. Staff here were really sweet as well and very attentive. Restaurant is big, bright, and clean.

Great place to eat some nice tasty dumplings at. Check the picture of the bill to see what we ordered! Our favourite was most definitely the Shanghai Wonton w/ Spicy Sauce. It was the most flavoured, so good that we ordered another one. All items were a solid 10/10. Most definitely try it yourselves. Aesthetics were also clean and beautiful, plenty of seating as well.

★★★★★

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

Everything about this place was okay. Food for the most part was pretty good — although the snow pea tips were a bit “old” (chewy). The sticky rice was pretty small also. It was pretty spacious and bright in there. Service was okay. We didn’t have the need to interact with staff outside of ordering, during food delivery and asking for the bill.

As someone who has visited this restaurant many times, I can confidently say that the food is consistently delicious. However, there is one dish that truly stands out - their soup filled dumplings. These dumplings are absolutely incredible and I highly recommend trying them if you visit. Another aspect of this restaurant that I truly appreciate is their exceptional service. It's not just one server who goes above and beyond, the whole team is friendly and efficient. In terms of seating, the restaurant is quite spacious which is great for larger groups or if you just want some extra elbow room. Parking can be a bit hectic on weekends. They accept credit and debit cards. If you do have cash on hand, paying with it will actually get you a 10% discount, which is a nice bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for their exceptional food and service.

The servers are extremely rude. Extremely!! Lisa the server was extremely rude and didn t care what we wanted. I asked for water and she didn t bring it, when I reminded her she said she is busy! Really?? For water?? I wasn t asking to bring my food sooner, I wasn t asking to give my feet a massage, I was asking for WATER! And when she got the food she was banging it on the table! I ask the foodie community, would this deserve a tip? Would this deserve a high rating or anything more than 1 star? What the hell man?? Seriously??

The environment is new, but the food and service are terrible. The tableware and chairs were taken away without saying hello because someone came to the big table next to it. The food Xiao Long Bao was okay, the green beans were undercooked, the three-cup chicken, and the Wuxi pork ribs were not good. I took the chair next to me without asking, I just said, take your hands away, and moved away.

Honestly, I really cant remember how many times we went back in this restaurant. Their soup dumpling were fantastic! Its my all time fav resto so far. Must visit! With an amazing and friendly staffs.

I don t usually write reviews but this place worth writing. The chicken soup is like $10 but just two pieces of chicken with no flavor soup. The fired bean is so dry, and we wasted all of them. They are fake ding tai fung.

Food and service here are consistently good. Ive recommended this restaurant to friends and family who are craving noodle soups and soup dumplings. All the ingredients are fresh. Food never too greasy. Definitely opt for any of the noodle soup, soup dumplings, and green onion pancake when youre here. The drunken chicken (appetizer) is pretty good too, and this is the only place I can get this dish. Plenty of dishes to choose from - dumplings/pancakes as appetizers, variety of meat and veggie main dishes, soup and fried noodles, and interesting desserts (including sweet dumplings!). We always enjoy our dining experiences at this location.

A MUST when visiting Toronto! The soup dumplings are bar none, hands down, THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. I dream of their Xiao Long Baos, the filling, the broth, the dumpling skin just divine. Food : 5/5

May 21, 2024

The service is very poor today! Dim sum came 10 minutes after the hot dish which took about 25 minutes to cook, that was ridiculous! The server was requesting customer to pay cash, and asked do you have $100 on you? Pay cash! That s the rudest service I had experienced from ding tai fung. From my personal experience, I would recommend take out only if anyone craving for Shanghai dim sum. Poor service, not recommended to do dine in.

Xiaolongbao is the 10 out of 10! However, other dishes which we have ordered Sanbeiji and salt & pepper pork were disappointing. Wonton soup is average, and rice cake felt like from market freezer.

April 21, 2024

This Ding Tai Fung is not the famous Taiwanese Din Tai Fung restaurant that has branches all over the world. The food is simply not up to par, not even close to the original. The so-called Shanghainese cuisine lacks authenticity and the taste is not good at all. I can say this is the worst Chinese restaurant I have been to in Toronto. However, the waitstaff there are helpful and professional.

This place is empty usually. Tons of available tables but the servers will not seat before they seat the window seats first to make it appear like the restaurant is full. Terrible service. I came here today and the restaurant was empty. The server made us wait for a table near the window and then blamed the customer for not leaving and vacating the table for us. It s not the customers fault, it s the restaurant s for not seating people at the SEVERAL empty tables in the restaurant.

Happy Chinese New Year and Year of the Dragon. I celebrated New years with my family. This restaurant has locations all over the globe. Ive seen one inside the Aria in Las Vegas. Our favorite items here are the fresh soup filled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, green onion pancakes, Shanghai noodles, braised beef rolled pancake, Siu mai with shrimp. The dining room is spacious, modern, and comfortable. Its much better than the First Markham place location. You order your food with a checklist order card, and the items are categorized and listed numerically. If youre new to Northern Chinese dimsum, then definitely try this restaurant out as they serve up fresh dumplings and portions are generous.

The best food in this restaurant is the steamed buns. The chef has no clue with other Shanghainess food. So, please do NOT try any other Shanghainess dishes other than steamed bun. (Terrible experience with Wuxi style ribs, salty pork soup, etc. ). Parking will be a problem during weekends. Dinning environment and services are good. For sure , will come back for steamed buns.

Fried Buns Please take a look at this fried buns. I took a big bite and it was all noodles. There is no soup in the pan-fried buns and very little meat. The bottom was just a little browned, not up to the standard of a normal pan-fried bun. The dough for the buns is made from yeast dough that has many holes and is very soft. I suspect that I am eating steamed buns or bread. Does the chef really know how to make pan-fried buns? [Crab roe bun] There is no crab flavor at all, so I had to open the bun to see if it was served to me by mistake, but I found a very small amount of shredded crab meat. [Garlic sprouts] are full of oil. Every vegetable leaf is covered with oil. It feels so uncomfortable. [Cold Jellyfish] The jellyfish is very turbid and brown... I suspect it is not jellyfish at all. I have never eaten like this before. It is too unpalatable. Xiaolongbao The only one that is okay Summary: I m very disappointed, don t come here. I don t understand why it s so good and hasn t closed down yet. Who is saying it s delicious without conscience?

The dumping in this restaurant chain cannot go wrong. I have been eating in the Markham location since day one however it s always terrible wait there. This location is much bigger, clean and comfortable. The food tastes the same. Just the curry noodles a bit salty but overall excellent. No wait to get in. Kids and seniors friendly. Lots of parking spots. Sorry we started eating before taking pictures. p.s. you don t need to touch any door to get to the washrooms which is nice.

Family friendly, good eats, huge variety. Family friendly: 5/5 We were offered a booster seat for my 3yo because shes quite big/tall for her age, but since she wiggles quite a bit, I asked for a highchair instead. I also appreciated the separate, non-breakable bowls and utensils for her, very thoughtful! Menu and ordering: 4.5/5 Its quite a task to order if you cant read Chinese! The ordering slip is all in Chinese, but fortunately its numbered the same as the menu which does have English. The hardest part is differentiating some of the dumplings, which isnt as obvious or translated consistently in English. Food: 5/5 Everything tasted great! Food also came out really quick considering we got there around 2pm and the staff were winding down for break. Service: 4.5/5 Up until near the end, all the servers were fantastic. There was only 1 server left when we were ready to pack up and pay, everyone else presumably on break, and she didnt have any smile or say anything to us the entire time getting the bill and takeout boxes for our remaining items.

Fake Din Tai Fung that is a knock-off of the internationally known Taiwanese restaurant of the same name. Decent, but overpriced Chinese food. They do make pretty good soup dumplings. However, in traditional fashion, the place looks fancy but the paper towels are so thin that they biodegrade on your fingers.

Food and service are 12/10! Honestly so impressed with the quality of everything we got. Huge fan of the Shanghai dumplings, spicy & sour soup, green beans w/ minced pork! And the XLB was pretty great too. I need to bring my friends here next...

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. Parking: The mall gets busy on weekends and around lunch times.

Fake Brand. Dont go. Sang-Ji or done totally wrong.

December 21, 2023

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.

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 wont return as I dont think it was a good deal, and theres better dim sum elsewhere. However if you like siu long bau, then this is the place to get it.

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 problems at. Flavorless and lacking meat. Look at the noodles.....its all noodles and theyre clumped up Quite disappointed. Felt like it was money wasted. 1 star, would not repeat, do no recommend takeout

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.

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.

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.

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.

Literally everything is so good, I dont regret ordering one thing! The spicy wontons are super flavorful with the vinegar, and the beef noodle soup, dont even get me started. It was so delicious, and a must order on the menu. And who can forget the Xiao Long Bao? Another must order, probably the best soup dumplings Ive ever had. 10/10 Wheelchair accessibility: A lot of room to move around.

We tried this Ding Tai Fung for a couple times before, but this time was quite disappointing us. Somehow, we ordered several different tastes of xiao long bao, but they were not as good as we had before. Green onion pancake was still nice, it was the best MVP today. Their environment is clean and tidy as usual, and their service is great nothing to complain. We love they do offer such big tables for a big group like 8 people or more. Btw, Ding Tai Fung here is not the same one from Taiwan, they are different company different group, I saw a large number of people are confused, just don t mess up. :) Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian dumplings Parking: Free parking spots Kid-friendliness: High chair provided.

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 dont eat shanghainese food too often but my friend wanted me to try. The menu was only in Chinese, perhaps I couldve 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.

This is not the real Taiwanese DTF. The real Taiwanese DTF is spelled DIN Tai Fung, not DING TaI Fung. There s only one real DIN Tai Fung in Canada, it s in Vancouver. The taste and everything is different!! Don t be fooled!

This is my go to place for Shanghai food. I like this location more than the Markham one. Its way more comfortable and service is better. Always great food and service. They appear to have redecorated a bit. The only issue I have is that it was cold in the restaurant. It was uncomfortable it made the food cold.

My favorite dim sum place. FOOD: Shanghai wonton w/ spicy soup: Im in love with this, spicy but not too spicy. It goes very well with noodles. Braised beef noodles in soup: huge portion, lots of noodles and beef, the broth made from braised beef soup was amazing. SERVICE: this location has much better service than the other location as the place is almost empty, even at meal time. VIBE: bright, very clean and quiet.
