This restaurant is over rated. Not that food is bad but there is nothing special about it. There are lots of Chinese restaurants in the area and their dumplings are as good if not better. I don't know the history but I think DTF became a fad in Japan. You can be part of the madness while waiting in line... more

The dumpling there is worth a try. They are juicy. I also liked the chicken and the beef soup. Do not get the fried rice; that was just ok. The best dumpling is the crab one. NOTE: the wait is long; they serve fast; and the serve people are ok (for a Chinese restaurant). more

My family loves this place. We enjoy the dumplings. The vegetable dishes are also excellent. Our personal favorites are the spinach and string beans. The price is reasonable and the service has always been accomodating and courteous. The only draw back is they don't accept reservations for parties less than 20 and the wait for a table is excruciatingly long... more

The food is almost as good as the DTF's in Taiwan, China, and Japan. BUT, the owner should consider sending the management team back to Taiwan for some lessons on hospitality. Consider hiring a greeter who is bilingual in Chinese and English; someone who can appreciate people who drive a long way to that place for some great Chinese food,... more

Okay, this place is boring. If you are hungry and don't mind adding a lot of soy sauce, go for it. more

While this doesn't have a great atmosphere, neither does the original branch in Taipei. However, these are probably the tastiest, most inventive dumplings I've ever had. Truly a wonderful place! more

Expensive, long waits, and always rushing customers. But their dumplings are unique. more

Loved this restaurant. We went a little early and on a weekday, so there were no lines. But the place was still full and bustling. The veggie dumplings were not as good as the meat-filled ones, and my vegetarian dining companion was a little disappointed. But just with the veggie dumplings. The broccoli and noodle dishes more than made up... more
