Din Tai Fung - North Sydney

Essentially a jazzed up food court offer. It is quite convenient for a quick lunch option. The food though did take a bit of time to be ready. I got my usual order of xiao long bao, hot & sour soup, and a cold soy milk. The xiao long bao tasted good, despite looking a bit sad, but expensive given u only get 4. The hot & sour soup had plenty of fillings in the soup, and had the right balance of spicy & sour. Overall, good, but would be better if not for the wait & price.

Like Din Tai Pilg and that is similar to the other franchises Grief Best Dishes IMO are the Xiao Lung Bao, the soup is beautiful and hot and in pork with pork pork. Make sure you cancel it delicate, or the soup will be spilled Grief Real recommend.

Have different Chinese restaurants tried around Sydney. Din Tai Fulg seems to be fabulous. Dumplings cook perfectly with fresh soup. Xiao Long Bao is perfect. We really enjoyed her.

No offence to all the Din Tai Fung fans out there, personally I think their dumplings and food are quite average at best. When my friend nominated here for our lunch date, I kept an open mind and was happy to be proved wrong. But once again it was a huge let down.  At least they were consistent.  My friend ordered noodles which I tried, but the broth was so bland.  I had steamed vegetable buns.  The bun itself was not soft and very dry; the vegetable filling was absolutely tasteless. The frozen buns I bought from Asian grocery store were better than those. When I have cravings for dumplings and buns, I either go to Cantonese yum cha or Shanghainese restaurants. Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese chain, neither Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) nor steamed buns originated from Taiwan. thernbdiary.com
