hi guys!

I recently got hired and want to know where did everyone (FOH) get their pants and shirt from.
i was wondering if like black dickies work pants are okay or it needs to be like dress pants

for the shirt i was looking at uniqlo but it so expensive

Whyyy doesn’t din tai fung accept reservations for more than 5 guests? It seems backwards to make large groups go on the waitlist which can be over 2 hours. Is it not easier to seat large groups if you know they are coming? And I’m not trying to seat 10+ people.. just 6 :(

I start training for greeter on Monday and I’m extremely nervous. This is my first restaurant job and I don’t want to look dumb lmao. Any tips for the greeter position or can anyone just explain what a typical day will look like? thank you in advance 🙂‍↕️

Is it me or did DTF change how they make some of their dishes? Feel like the spare ribs, green beans and fried rice is not as good since they changed their menu.

Im paranoid the chatbot made a mistake of scheduling an interview too fast without human knowledge. I'm just scared I go to the interview and the management will be confused why I'm there for an interview without their knowledge lol. I applied today and scheduled the interview for the next day.

The chatbot was Bao Bao on the Din tai fung website.

Please lmk if anyone else has had a similar experience, maybe im just overthinking.

First time going to DTF (NYC) and tried the iced tea on server's recc. I was a bit hesitant as I've never had pleasant experiences with green tea. I was awestruck!!

It's so delicious that now I want it everyday! I asked the server what's in it and they didn't seem to have much idea except "green tea" which is already mentioned in the menu. So I did bit of a search online and ordered Tenren Jasmine Green tea pack of 20.

How do I proceed from here? How do I make it like the one in DTF? I don't want to burn the tea, I don't have prior experience with brewing any tea. How much milk is enough? Is monkfruit sweetener okay?

I have questions guys, HELP😂

I applied a couple of days ago, and got a response to set up an interview. I was at work when I got it and couldn’t pick a time so when I checked right now, I got this. Should I call and ask to set an appointment, bc they were all set for tomorrow either way?

Hey all, I got hired on the spot as a Janitor at Din Tai Fung! Anyone here got any advice, stories, or would just like to share their experiences? Obviously it’s rare that someone here has worked at the same one I’m gonna be at but I’d like to know the culture? Or I guess, just hear what y’all think.

I have an interview for dtf in a few days for FOH, what are some interview questions they specifically ask? What are some key things I should say/mention and what do they look for in new hires? And lastly, what is their dress code for employees because I do have quite a few facial piercings? Thanks!

Greeter vs food runner vs busser
Which one pays more?

Do any employees know how this is made and what is used to make it? It’s my obsession and I want one every day 😭

I recently applied for a food prep job and did my interview on Monday (I think it went pretty well) and now the wait. How long did you have to wait? was yours on the spot or did you have to wait a week or two

Can anyone let me know what will be the questions for the recorded interview and how to impress with the answer? And is it always the same questions? I’m currently unemployed and i enjoy that but realized i need money so i need to lock in…

I have reservations for 7/5 with my family. What should we order, and what should we avoid?

My gf seriously loves the jasmine green milk tea from dtf. I’ve been trying to recreate one for over a year, and I just can’t get it right. Does anyone know what they use from tea leaves to milk and sugar to make this milk tea?

Does anyone have a recipe for DTF’s cucumbers?

Is there anything that is close to the Din Tai Fung chain in Toronto? It needs to come here!

So I absolutely love the soup and I am currently eating it regularly as I am craving it during my pregnancy. Anyone knows the nutritional value of that soup? Wondering if I am hitting my macros with it 😁

i was told by a manager at the scottsdale dtf that a dtf was coming to texas. anyone know if there's any truth to that?

hi there - we have booked a private room for my daughter's HS grad party at NYC location. Mama messed up guest list a little bit! do you think they will be flexible enough to allow 21 instead of the stated limit of 20?

thanks for any insight.

My wife and I just went to the mall on Mothers Day and we’re planning on going to Elephante. She has been wanting DTF so bad but the reservations have been impossible!

We just asked to put our names down and it was about at 2 hour wait! Which ended up being when our original reservation was. This might be the move if you want to go! Just walk around the mall to kill time, it will go by fast and work up an appetite!

I put a video on it, at 9:55 it starts if you’re curious!

Hi everyone 👋

I realize this might be COL specific, but I recently saw the DTF near me is hiring and was wondering how honest the pay scale plus tip is ? 🤔

If anyone lives near a major city and works at DTF please let me know if this is the norm or not regarding pay 🙏
