Ding Tai Fung

My husband and I got seated immediately but if you’re in groups, it might take a while. One of our dishes took longer to be served and when we asked them why, the server had a hard time because she couldn’t speak English. However, she was knowledgeable with the menu and did her best to make sure we get our orders. ???????????? The fried chicken was great for me, husband said it was normal. The dumplings made us both happy. ????????????

The interior looks very grand and appealing, almost movie-like. Despite coming here on an odd hour its very busy as well although its a lively location so wait times should be considered when attending. The food here was alright- the dumplings are good but the rest of the meal was mediocre. The noodles were too oily and tasted bland. It felt like they made up on quality for quantity for their meals as serving size is big even for Chinese restaurant standard. The pancake was good though, I would recommend that and order it again.

We enjoyed our dining experience at Ding Tai Fung. Located in the First Markham Place, there’s plenty of parking available. We ordered the Soup Dumplings, Hot & Sour Soup and Pork and Chives Dumplings. Food was good as the dumplings wrapper were on the thinner side and the filling plentiful. The restaurant inside is clean with a nicer decor compared to other Dumpling restaurants. The cost though is on the pricier side. I’m interested in coming and trying out their Dim Sum service. It does warrant a visit and it’s a must try.
