Yes, I have eaten at the one by my house in Valley Fair Mall in San Jose. We waited in a really long line when it first opened. Super, super good. If you guys ever come back to Nor Cal, visit Winchester Mystery House, then cross the street for good eats at Santana Row has a nice hotel there as well. Then cross the street again for nice shops and good eats (Din Tai) at Valley Fair. Glad you all had a great meal and great company!

You probably know this already, but it’s a chain and there are a few in SoCal. Got one here in the Bay Area, too. So delicious! Also, I know you’re Disney bloggers… but the bao at this restaurant are exponentially better than and so not inspired by Tropical Hideaway. Kinda cringed for you at that moment.

I've been obsessed with soup dumplings, the way they make the broth is with high gelatin bones, like hogs feet, that they simmer for a long time to make broth. They then chill the broth til it's like jello, cube it up and mix it with the filling. When they steam it, the gelatin melts into yummy broth. I see in the comments there is a place in San Jose, a half hour from Santa Cruz. Might have to go over the hill...

Mmmmmmm!!! I was with you all in spirit! 🥟🤪🤤 I love DinTaiFung. 🥰 My husband and I used to eat there when we lived in Tokyo. Although the dessert options were a bit different in Japan with creamy milk tofu in a sweet sauce instead of the chocolate long bao. FYI - If you guys want to pronounce things correctly, then with “Wagyu” the wa is the same pronunciation like saying the wa in water and gyu is like gyou as in the word “you” with the hard g sound in front of it. Hope that didn’t sound too pretentious with the explanation. 🤓 Anyhooo, SOOOOO looking forward to your Disneyland Halloween adventures soon. 😍🎃 We were going to try to go this year and make another pit stop at Rogers Gardens in the OC as well since every year they do a fabulous Halloween display (check out their YT page and search Halloween for the past few years - love the creepy song from their Halloween 2013 video). However, medical treatments have taken precedent and so we’ll hopefully see y’all at Disney next year. Thanks Spencer and Katie (and Janelle and Miguel!). You guys are the best!!! xoxo Christine in way too smoky CO 🔥😷
