Din Tai Fung Chef's Table Emporium Pluit Mall

Located on the top level within the Emporium mall, this well known brand from Taiwan has been serving their famous Xiao long bao and other Taiwanese dishes for years. The fried pork was a little peppery and soft. The sauce on the steam fish slices was decent but felt like the fish and the sauce was prepared separately so the flavour didn't marinate enough into the fish. The dry Noodle and the fried prawn roll were definite favorites amongst all the dishes. Food 7 Service 8 Vibe 6 Price

The cashier advised the min spend before tax was 1mil as the tnc's on one of their cc's promo and not just 1 staff stating it. When i cross checked the promo with my bank I found the promo only require to spend 300k before tax and valid till Sept 2023. So sad they had to do that whatever the reason is. Make sure you check the tnc of their promo before dining in. Totally not coming back

Located in Emporium Mall 4th floor, came to eat here for dinner on the 21st Jan which is the lunar new year dinner to some people so the place was absolutely packed. However, the experience was not a positive one. Food was ok , nothing special, and it was obvious that the staff members were understaffed and could not deal with the amount of people and things happening for the lunar new year dinner. Food and drinks arrived late, presentation was the bare minimum, and believe it or not, we got desserts (mango jelly pudding in a plastic container) before we got .... whatever the soup was since they said they ran out of the soup. We raised the issue with the staff and the soup was changed, but it is too late by that point. They tried their best service with the amount of people they have, but for some reason, the upper management could not find temporary workers or something to handle with this issue since such events do not come unannounced. Atmosphere? There 's nothing left after what happened with the food and service. For the price of what they are charging (easily more than 9.7 million for 20 people), it was totally not worth for the money value. For people considering to eat here for big events, avoid this particular establishment. For normal/ a la carte setup.. there 's slightly better prices for the same price. Picture attached showing the super late soup before and after they added some fish.

The crab xiao long bao is delicious. Other menus like spinach with three eggs also superb. That tofu seaweed also nice. Kids like the noodles with some meat chops on the top. Recommended.

Decent Chinese restaurant franchise. Came there for their pork belly. It's aok. The rest are also aok tasting. The only gripe that I have is that portion is medium to small. Their Xiao Long Pao came out from fridge since it only looks steaming hot. And their Gyoza also a bit cold.
