Sleight of hand with the serving size here. Half of this dish was fried wonton skins. It felt reheated, or from the Bain Maree not freshly cooked. Fried rice with egg was better than the kung-pow chicken.
Husband so annoyed at the pathetic serve of lukewarm beans and pork that he returned it.

This place is amazing.
Just try the food here to experience for yourself how good it is.
Neat and clean, well presented and good sized serve.

Ordered two things and one was ready before the other. Since it was colder they came over and offered to resteam it which was nice! Tastes as expected and food was quick to come as well.
Was here on a Thursday night and the restaurant was still open. Its been a while since I had their Beef Noodle Soup, so gave it a try. Unfortunately the texture of the noodles were a bit soft and wasn't as nice as before. The presentation has now moved to paper based bowls with a bit of soup. There were plenty of beef pieces and they were tender. Overall it was OK, but not the same as before. Good to have a Taiwanese option in North Sydney.
Love their dumplings and noodles soup. Reasonable price. Table was a bit dirty. Waiting time was about 20 minutes.
Understaffed, underseasoned, and underwhelmed. if this restaurant didn’t have the name, it’ll be going under.
I had dumpling noodle soup, and it was liking having dumpling & noodles in warm water. It also took a lot of time to receive the food. Which is fatal for any restaurant.
My first one star for the year, and this restaurant really need live up to the name.
Din tai fung received 1 Michelin star in HK, and it’s one of my favourite dumpling joints.
For these reasons, I give this place 1 bear

The food was nice (as usual), but the service was poor today.
We arrived at 1.40pm for an eat-in lunch. However, we were told that they shut at 2.30pm, and were asked whether we'd like to takeaway instead. To oblige, I agreed, because they serve their food in takeaway containers anyway (even if you eat-in) and we could just walk over to the nearby food court to eat (which we did).
While we were waiting for the food, I noticed that the Xiao Long Bao had been rung up at the standard price, rather than the advertised 50% discount if you takeaway (as we had now agreed to do).
When I asked why we hadn't been given the advertised 50% discount for the Xiao Long Bao (amounting to a $3 discount), I was told that I had to ask for the discount when I ordered. I explained that an advertised special should just ring up at the special price, and not require a 'special request' (pardon the pun). I then read the T&Cs for the offer right in front of them and explained that there is no such condition.
The guy serving the food was then consulted by the lady at the register, who also refused to remedy the situation. Worse still, he glared at me for an extended period without uttering a word!
Ultimately, they called their manager, who agreed to provide me with the correct pricing and the $3 difference, but only after they had confirmed that I had spent about $50 on my order. Why was this so hard???
To end on a good note, the food was nice and we greatly enjoyed it. It's just such a shame that we had such a protracted and dogmatic debate with the staff to receive their advertised discounted price for four measly Xiao Long Bao!
