“Great food. Great Food” -Monica
(We need Monica in videos more often😂)
Finally something more authentic in Disney. Eat everything! Try them all!!
The Food Looked Delicious!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍴 Glad You both enjoyed it 🫶🏽
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am a fan of Din Tai Fung, and I agree 100% about the Cucumber Salad. When I received mine (in Century City), the cucumber were actually wilted. However, they serve the best Hot and Sour Soup I have had anywhere. I'm glad they're open at Downtown Disney because aI was there just a couple of weeks ago, tried Centrico, and was completely disappointed.
Din Tai Fung puts Disneyland restaurants in another level. This is the real Chinese cuisine. Favorite food there Xiu Long Bao and the Shanghai Rice Cakes.
We LOVE Din Tai Fung we go to the South Coast Plaza one - so happy you had a good time!
Definitely get the green beans instead of cucumber salad. Also for sure try the crab & pork XLB, Shanghai rice cakes and friend rice w/ fried pork chop!
Thank you for the recommendations
I know it's hard, but spearing food with your chopsticks is considered bad manners in parts of China and in Japan. BTW. we've been to Din Tai Fung quite a bit and even then, my mouth is watering.You were right to get the chocolate mochi XLB. Those are fantastic.
the best thing about DTF is their consistency. It's like the McD's of XLB. Consistent. It's not the best XLB but it will be consistent. As for the cucumber salad, its less "salad" more palate cleanser. The food you ordered is very rich. If you had an XLB, had a piece of cucumber. your next bit of food be it rib or xlb, will be "fresh", you are not eating rich piece after rich piece. That is the purpose of the cucumber salad.
It is like you eating at a upper end place, on your heavy rich dish, steak , duck etc. there will be a sour/tart or bitter element to smear, dab or eat (could be a bitter ish endive). It's there so you dont get tired of eating fatty rich bite after bite. Your palate gets refreshed and you can keep going instead of drowning in the monotony of it all
I see! Thank you for the insight and help 🔥🙏🏼
I travel a lot for work. It’s true, Florida’s best food is probably on Disney property (and Miami). BUT, it doesn’t even come close to the caliber and variety of food you can get in Southern California (and NorCal for that matter). This is probably why DLR doesn’t focus too much on fine dining. They know they can’t compete.
Also, why does WDW’s theme park food have to be so subpar when they have such great fine dining establishments? And Disneyland has such subpar fine dining but has amazing theme park food? Different types of vacationers I guess.
Actually Napa Rose is close to the best that I've had in either SoCal or NorCal. It's not French Laundry, but within the "ballpark."
Napa Rose is better than any WDW restaurant except maybe Victoria & Albert’s.
My family and I love going there. My favorite and sisters’ personal favorites are the vegan spicy wontons and the noodles with spicy sauce. Once my family accidentally ordered the sweet and sour pork baby back ribs. They said it was good that now they order it when we go.
Yes my mother is watering. It was fun seeing you guys trying it for the 1st time
Thank you, Mondo and Monica
Had no idea what their food was about
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I personally love the cucumbers. Next time do try the green beans and the fried rice with pork chop it’s my go to there. Their chili oil makes it.
So glad you went with your sister and I’m glad you enjoyed it nine dollars for cucumbers no thank you I’ll be in the park next week for three days Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Hope to see you. It’s been a long time.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
Green beans extra garlic!!! The ground pork noodles, Shanghai rice cake with chicken, xiao long bao is a must, shrimp and pork hargow
The food looked yummilicious can't wait to try this restaurant myself! Great review!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yay, you went with Monica!
The ribs looked delicious!! Can I get a fork though please 🤣🤣
Legit freakin amazing ribs 🔥🙌🏻
16:42 Dang so much fancier than my local one in Portland, OR! Steamed buns are super good!!
🔥🙌🏻
Always love seeing non foodies discovering actual food and being blown away by it. Lmfao!
I wish they had this in Orlando by me, 😄 we have been to the one in Vegas a few times we love it!! ❤️. Great video
So glad you and Monica enjoy Din Tai Fung. I love this restaurant. Actually your tweets on din tai Fung earlier today made me hungry for din tai Fung so I went to the din tai Fung that is close to my home for dinner tonight 😂. Next time I recommend you to try the red bean n mochi dessert Xiao long Bao I like it more than the chocolate. Also try the seaweed and bean curd salad (which I also like more than the cucumber). Their fried rice is very good too. And also recommend their sweet and sour soup. Have the food with hot jasmine tea is even better. for alcoholic drink try the lychee mojito . 😋
Thank you for the recommendation 🔥🙏🏼
Hey everyone happy Monday love ur videos❤enjoy ur day at the new restaurant stay cool it’s hot 🥵
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice to see the prices are not inflated due to the location
Thank you for showing us.
Thanks for watching!
Recommend their beef braised noodle soup, and another dessert to try is the sesame mochi bao.
Ooooh……
Always keep the lid on to keep it hot! Lol!
Well, looks like all reservations are booked for nearly 3 weeks till July 14th and walk up is the only option for the rest of us. If it's consistently an hour wait though, that ain't too bad and I'd definitely do it!
Definitely worth a one hour wait
I'm drooling. Yum love any food Chinese
Couldn't wait for the reservation on Tuesday 😂
Monica got one for today! 🔥🙌🏻
I can’t wait!!
Hello Mondo and Monica 😊 Just viewed your DTF food review, looks great to try. There is a DTF in Santa Clara , a 45-1 hour commute from East Bay, Got to try now!
Pork bun (Bao) = char sui bao.
Try the garlic string bean (long bean) a must! Thanks for review
Thank you for the recommendations 🔥🙏🏼
just a clarification. the pork bao isnt char sui bao. the dtf one is a braised soy pork mantau. think braised pork sliders they serve in some chinese/korean places. char sui bao is saucy typically red, sweet braised pork loin. either in the steamed or baked variety.
also agree, garlic string beans is an excellent dish.
Thanks for clarification, forgot this a Taiwanese restaurant. Char sui Bao is Cantonese
Santa Clara, really!? I might come by.
Everything looked so delicious 😋
So good!
Yuzu margarita!!!!!
Excited to go to this location. DTF is my fave restaurant. Looks great.. food is always great.
Also, one other review said there’s no bathrooms there. That guests need to use the ones located by the Lego store? By your review, sounds like there are restrooms there.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my most favorite places in Washington State.
So good!!!
wow amazing wow i haven't tried this Location i have tired when i visited Australia with my family that was 10 Years ago . the food Looks so good . I want to take my boyfriend and our family here .
We have this in San Jose, it’s a pass for me when I’m in Anaheim. It’s a great place but I’d rather enjoy something that we don’t have in San Jose. But now I’m going to stop by to get some this did make me crave it again.
Since you’re in SJ, Dough Zone is almost as good as Din Tai but without the markup. Din Tai is the best hands down, but you do pay a premium. Only place that isn’t worth the hype is iChina. Not worth it IMHO.
@@ShadowCaster3214 been there too and that one is like 10 minutes the other 15 lol… 😊
No thanks. I would rather walk to Denny's.
@@rayray9571 🤭🤭🤭
Next time don’t puncture the XLBS. Let them cool down a little bit and then put the whole thing in your mouth. So much better.
Trader Joe’s also has great chicken or pork XLBs if you want to enjoy it at home. I recommend getting their chili crisp oil and enjoying it with the xio long Baos.
💜💜💜
I can’t make a reservation on the website was it only open for the 24th only?
Try the chicken fried rice then red bean bao for dessert.
Where did Monica get her necklace??
Was there Magic Key discount?
Mouth is watering bro
It was soooo good
Dumplings don’t look like that enough when you order them most of the time. I mean I want my dumplings to look like that.
What I get is potstickers they call dumplings.
I’ll take the dollar cream over 4.50 sprite… strange pricing!
Looks really good but it is a bit noisy. What is it with restaurants not installing dividers and some soft surfaces
The prices are shockingly not bad for being on Disney property
I say yes on the noisy but it didn’t bother me at all
Din Tai fung grand opening in July
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep in mind that Din Tai Fung is owned by Michelin star chef. They don’t play. 🔥
🔥🙌🏻🔥
Not a fan of the $2 up charge this Din Tai Fung is charging compared to their other restaurants but I get it’s Disney. 😅
So you’re basing your “honest review” on a soft opening? Sketchy bro.
I guess this cuisine is just not my cup of tea cause none of that looked appetizing to me. Alot of that looked bland and unappealing. it's a high end, overpriced brand name Restaurant. And if I'm gonna spend that much money, I want a feast. But that's just me. I'm simple. if I'm in Downtown Disney, I'd rather have a corn dog from Blue Bonnet.
Red wagon corn dogs are fire at Disneyland
I’ve been to DTF in San Diego, Vegas and Seattle and it has never disappointed. Service is outstanding, food is fresh and tasty and the prices aren’t bad…particularly if you stay away from the alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend!!
Mondo, living in So Cal, haven’t you had dim sum?
It’s absolutely not bland. Original location in Asia is a Michelin Star restaurant. The quality at every location I’ve been to has been consistent. I’m surprised a theme park would even have this level of a restaurant.
Wow, looks good. I'm not huge on Chinese but I'll definitely give it a try. Prices don't seem too bad either.
Grossness…no way I’ll stick with Earl of Sandwich….
way over priced
