NYC's NEWEST Restaurant : Eating at Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung is the newest restaurant to come to NYC. This Taiwanese chain restaurant is renowned for its soup dumplings. At over 26,000 square feet, this is the chain's largest restaurant. It can accommodate over 450 guests and features a modern space. I had the opportunity to attend a family & friends soft opening event with ‪@TheNYCWalkingShow‬ , and sample the amazing foods they have to offer.

That was a great experience...thanks. The vegan dumplings, honey lemonade and cucumber were my favorite dishes. The decor and ambiance was very delightful. 🌴

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, there were so many great dishes!

[@RickC-sr]

Hi AK, I know you've been watching for the grand opening and the place looks amazing. I'll probably never get to see it. I think it's great that you and Sifat got a special invite. You both add such a positive vibe to your walking tours of NYC for all. 👍👍

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, can't wait for the grand opening!

[@Connie-E]

Thanks so much, AK. You and Sifat did an excellent job showing and sharing your visit to the Din Tai Fung. It looks amazing and now I am starving for some of their food. I am sure you really enjoyed your meal and thanks again for sharing with us.

[@ausflygirl3430]

What a beautiful restaurant! They captured the sophisticated vibe of the city, incredible lay out, decor and lighting. The viewing of the chefs making the homemade dumplings was an amazing experience. The food was beautiful, looked so fresh

[@HengMiao]

Woohoo, you finally got to try Din Tai Fung in NYC!!! 🤩 This location is so upscale and spacious, and the dim lighting gives it more of an intimate experience. 😲 8:57 Their Vegan Dumplings are delicious! 😋 All of the dishes look good, and it's nice you got to enjoy the soft opening event with Sifat. 😃 Thank you for sharing this highly anticipated review, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

This Din Tai Fung is outstanding

[@e815usa]

So jealous you got to go to the new NYC location. Glad you went and thanks for the review!

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated! I'm happy it's finally here!

[@goddesst5405]

Thank you ActionKid! I live in NYC! Can’t wait to try this place! 😀

[@stylishbunny6854]

This is awesome! I been to Din Tai Fung in Hong Kong and Las Vegas. They have so much to choose from. I never know what food to get there. 😂 It looks like you guys had a yummy time!😊👍🏻

[@TheBingBuzz]

Last time we had DTF was in Taiwan, so it's awesome that they're now on the East Coast! 😋😋

[@ActionKid]

Yes, they’re finally on the East Coast!

[@FaLO66traintravels]

A place to try!! Looks exciting and yummy 😋.

[@lornahardin4563]

Beautiful restaurant, I would love it. So good to see you and Sifat together for dinner. Hope it was a fun time for you both.

[@SnowDove]

Wow must be so cool to be the first few guest to try it before the opening. I can't wait to go too!

[@pauly5418]

They really went all out here! I guess that's why they took so long to get to New York. They wanted to make a big splash.

[@margd77]

Wow! The food and chocolate bun looked amazing, AK. What a wonderful dining experience it must have been! 😊

[@TheTaoLotus]

Thank you for sharing your delicious dining experience! Love your videos especially since you’re not camera shy.

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, it was such a great experience

[@gonfreecss5105]

My SO was somehow able to get an invite to DTF so we tried it out last night, ambience was great, which is to be expected since its in Broadway. Food was good, but didn't blow us away, was not worth the wait and price. Pricing is on the high end but you're not just paying for the food..but the "experience" and the hype. It's a nice place to take someone out for date night. Reservations are booked a month in advance which is insane. Plenty of better tasting food elsewhere for half the price or less if you just want a good meal.

[@tamaraedwardsagbobly8894]

We have one here in Santa Clara, California😊

[@damarise8995]

Ok, maybe I’ll go there one day. Especially for that vegan dumpling. 🤤 😅

[@RickJ04040]

NYC looks to be back

[@ActionKid]

[@PrincessDy00]

Glad you got to try DTF. You took us so many times there in your livestream, I feel like I have to try it too. The best Bao I had was in Chinatown in London, gotta try it in this restaurant too.

[@MarieA1]

The food looks absolutely delicious 👍🏽

[@ActionKid]

It really was!

[@Michaeland]

Wow. DTF also just opened this week at Disneyland too 🥟 A MAJOR Expansion moment for them!!!

[@cuteyleah]

Woohoo! 🎉 Yayyyyyy 🎉 Thank you for sharing! Delish awaits! 🤤

[@1amissingno]

Love their vegan/vegetarian options, I leave full & satisfied.

[@ambelle9365]

❤❤ Hi This is Am. 😊 I was your server that night. Thank you for dining with us and hope to see you again next time. 🥟🥟

[@ActionKid]

You were amazing Am! Hope to see you next time too!

[@maureenshea4268]

Hey AK, you are a VIP now. Thanks for the tour. Nice to see a new Chinese restaurant uptown. It is huge.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much!

[@CharleyS10223]

Nice Actionkid. Wow that’s so nice that your friend the NYC Walking Show had to join you along for dinner. That’s really Cool. The place looks beautiful.

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, it's a beautiful restaurant!

[@PatriciaIvory-ke7pe]

Thank you I gotta try this place

[@thomaszack3573]

WOW! So good!

[@barbaramontgomery1807]

Wow!!! The restaurant is gorgeous and the food looks delicious!!!! Great video!!!😊

[@ActionKid]

It's such a spectacular restaurant!

[@tracyj516]

Mars 2112 used to be located in that same spot.

[@handsomeX]

The rent must be astronomically high 😳

[@nicoletanis3703]

Hello AK, you make me hungry. I'll stop by at the beginning of August. 😋

[@sonnyly8863]

I tried Ding Tai Fong at Taipei 101, it was excellent. The young chow fried rice tasted excellent

[@user-hr2gl5im4b]

'Little bits of egg all throughout the egg-fried-rice'..?..😂. Glad it was an enjoyable experience!

[@suninapawaroo3024]

Thanks kid ❤

[@joyce-in-Outreach]

Spectacular restaurant!

[@mostrecentevents]

I recommend their beef noodle soup, it's the best on the menu

[@jungdonna]

I read on Eater New York that the pork for the American restaurants comes from a farm in Iowa.

[@JAMESPATTERSON-mk9sr]

Old AK has connections to be invited to a soft opening of that restaurant , I would prefer that ox tail soup at that place in Jamaica AK visited about three years ago .

[@arnettfiles340]

I've got to try this place.

[@trevp386]

Awesome review AK! There are two locations here in the Toronto area. Will definitely check them out.

[@plnsxt5plnsxt551]

Can’t wait

[@ernestconnell8087]

AK always eating

[@cheesejadeitekiwifox]

I ate there as well. the space was amazing. staff and service was amazing. food was MID. the best dishesi ate was the dessert. better spots to eat around nyc. unfortunately, DTF invited many influencers this week to eat there and all were like "wow so good!! amazing". real review: all the food is MID as the kids say these days. I paid for my own check where as invited influencers did not.

[@drewh3224]

A massive upscale restaurant. Impressive!

[@ActionKid]

Indeed!

[@crystalinabacteria3430]

Wow food & place looked impressive 👍nice to see you sitting down 😂❤

[@ActionKid]

It really is

[@88_JJW_88]

how is the pricing like for the set of dumplings that you had eaten?

[@jarihult]

4:20 Ni decor in that restaurant ,everything looks great 😎9:30That Menu looked great , and what comes to your foods they all looked delicious😋It was nice to see Sifat too🙂Thank you for sharing this dining experience A K🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

Loved the decor in the new Din Tai Fung!

[@jarihult]

@@ActionKid It sure was nice , on my comment missed those ..ce i just noticed that lol!

[@jarihult]

Nice decor i’m not sure that why i didn’t noticed that typo until now🤔

[@Kostly]

Soft opening must be like Hell's Kitchen lol

[@coodi_16]

this is amazing 🤩 w/ Sifat great 👍

[@user-qb1xc1kl8o]

I ate at their location in San Diego. It was good, but it was not worth the wait. For me, my NYC Chinese restaurant is Dim Sum Palace on 46th street.

[@brennickler]

This is where Ewan took Cousin Greg in Succession.

[@patwatersvlogs859]

@ActionKid now the big question is? Is it better than Jing Fong?🥴

[@ss_sailaway]

Ha! That bun in London is giving you nightmares, huh? I didn’t know you could have PTSD from From eating, but maybe it’s possible.

[@angeladelia7472]

Just on the design of the restaurant, it's gorgeous

[@michanel888]

Why don’t they just have one bottle of pre-made soy sauce mixed with vinegar, that save the trouble of mixing every customer 😂 And customer have the correct ratio without asking servers to mix it for them if they need refill

[@user-ly1yg9jp8b]

Din Rai Fung comes from Taiwan

[@billh.1940]

NYC has needed another chinese restaurant. Can never find one in the city. 😅

[@katiel.5568]

People were dressed up!

[@c.j.5238]

Dude, that's not shrimp fried rice, that's fried rice with shrimps on top😂

[@bookgirlny8511]

😋

[@bg5biy574]

Yeah!

[@ActionKid]

[@linilin2641]

Bao is not difficult to make if you already know how to make bread.

[@kayflip2233]

FINALLY we get a damn DTF. Took long enough. Hopefully they have the black truffle mushroom dumplings. I need to order a big box of those for lunch.

[@lorisavino2225]

The old Mars 2112, I think?

[@oaktree1628]

5:35 she should tell the management why the Taipei restaurant was better

[@ciachef14]

Looking good 🎉

[@user-dr6jy9pl6h]

[@jackwong64]

I don’t see any steam at all… “outstanding”.

[@georgesanders343]

Group trip!✈

[@ActionKid]

[@zulithern]

As a Muslim, I’ve to try out, but only at Indoensia only, since it’s “Halal”.

[@SweetMikki18]

Looks nice, but 50th Street is not Times Square.

[@elimlinrr6898]

Chop Suey belongs to a bygone era. Real Chinese food is making its way into the US.

[@DozenRosesBloom.]

👍

[@papagen00]

strictly for shanghai soup dumplings, go to Deluxe Green Bo in Chinatown, only $12 and just as good if not better than DTF. And I have eaten at a lot of DTF's. I ONLY get 3 items at DTF - soup dumpling, beef noodle soup and string beans... the rest of the menu is just blah.

[@michanel888]

Green bo is good for their pork bun, I tried their soup dumpling and is meh, willing to try DTF in the future to test. Soup dumpling so far is the one on Bowery street and Nan Ning

[@amyshort8641]

Shanghai Joe’s tastes so much better than Din Tai Fung. I was so disappointed at DTF when I got its dumplings in Seattle.

[@moreadventure3627]

Where is it located?

I would never meet at a Chinese restaurant in New York 🤮

[@michaelsangster5673]

Most overrated place we went to in Taipei. They were nice, but not worth the wait or price. Imagine paying NYC prices wow!

[@TLB-wo7ld]

I agree. While I love soup dumplings I didn't think the Taiwan DTF was that impressive. I mean, probably because there are tons of good dumplings everywhere and beef soup noodles there was overrated as well. Looking at this NYC location w that kind of vibe and spaciousness, the prices def skyrockets.

[@gunmetal2445]

I went to the one in Taipei 101 years ago and wasn't blown away. But I did wonder if it was just a mismatch in taste. Not alot of Taiwanese food I've tried hit the spot for me.

[@acegjump]

MSG DUMPLINGS
