Din Tai Fung - Costa Mesa

This place is so good for vegan options! I always get the spicy vegan noodles and vegan buns. So so good! I also get the cucumber salad which is a fresh and healthy treat. The food is so good and they always package the food perfectly, complete with all the sauces and extras you would need.

The vegan dumplings are so yummy. I would also recommend the kale, which is flavored with garlic

I have waited to go to an American Din Tai Fung since I went to one of the originals in Taiwan in 2017. At the time, they only had one or two US locations. Finally, I made it to this location and it was well worth the wait! Make reservations if you can, if not, put your name in and walk around the mall. There will be a wait. The food is outstanding and just as good as I remembered it from the Asian locations! They are famous for their pork soup dumplings— a must have! But, you can’t really go wrong with anything on their menu. Save your appetite for all the dumplings— they are fresh and delicious. Enjoy!

This place was exceptional. I completely understand the long lines for this place, because everything I tried was delicious. The staff were also incredibly helpful and showed me making the sauce and traditional way to eat dumplings. I just wish I had gone with someone else to be able to try more things.

The line here is insane, make reservations if you are able to! We had a mix of dumplings and noodles and ended with sweet dumplings, which were a surprise hit for me! Pretty much everything was delicious, fresh and served piping hot. Will definitely be returning!
