We're Breaking Up With Din Tai Fung -- Here's Why
We finally visited Good Alley in Rosemead, a place everyone’s been talking about.
We went in with high hopes, curious to see if it could match the buzz. By the end, we found ourselves rethinking our favorite spots.
Highlights:
• Xian Cold Noodles: Chilled noodles with chili, garlic, and sesame sauce. Refreshing and not too spicy.
• Hand-Muddled Jasmine Lime Tea: A fragrant drink blending jasmine tea and lime. Unique and refreshing.
• Soup Dumplings: Delicate dumplings with rich, porky broth. Some of the best we’ve had.
• Lamb Hamburger: Crispy bread filled with juicy, savory lamb. A delightful surprise.
Good Alley offers a variety of regional Chinese dishes that impressed us. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a visit.

Yum. Thanks gang!
this was great thank you
Good to see you both were Intuit😅
What about the services? Good fair excellent. I m 70% in food. 30% in service.
@ service was average/fair. The food came out pretty quick, servers cleared our plates out after they saw it was empty and they refilled our water. Not the type of restaurant that comes around in the middle of the meal to check on you. If you need something you’ll need to flag them down.
I would go just for the lamb bun. 🤩
It's quite delicious 😃
Tried this restaurant today based on your recommendation and we had the worst experience ever. Entire order not served after sitting there for an hour, terrible service, messed up entering order into system. We were so upset we left the restaurant and didn’t even finish our meal since rest of food never came. They’re such a disaster. I don’t know how they will survive in this competition of 626 dim sum restaurants.
@@jkchow812 oh my that’s terrible! I’m sorry you had such bad service ):
I’m glad you’re showing us these options. I’m going to stop by.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
“My heavens!” -Danny the Medic. Thanks for another awesome recommendation guys! DTF is overrated and overpriced. Will try to make a visit after the holidays. Happy holiday and merry Christmas! 😀👍🏽💪🏽
Happy Holiday & Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks always 🙏🏻
Never trust a review video with an affiliate link
I live not too far from this place so will give it a try. Been to DTF twice and didn't think it was super special especially for the line. The thing that DTF have over this place and other restaurants in SG is that they are located at a big mall. If they are busy and you want to get some asian meal then you wait. Where Good Alley is at, impatient folks like myself if they get too crowded would go to some place nearby like Golden Delight 2, Shin Shen Gumi, etc. that is near it.
This is very true! Also DTF has a lot of seating especially compared to Good Alley. And like you said, there are a lot of great food options in that plaza as well as the ones right next to it 💯
very nice, can we see Peter without his hat for once?😁
There's some non-hat action in some random videos but maybe again soon for fun 😂
I don't mean to be mean, but DTF is always gonna be no. 1 in the XLB category. No one is gonna topple them.
This is true, they have quite the empire!
@PeterLisaKim too big to fail
DTF has always been overrated even when i go back to taiwan. 🤷♂
Totally agree. We have so many better places in the Bay Area

Omg I live in Houston, hope you enjoyed! Good job on those spots, a lot of out-of-towners go to weird places. 😅
@@LV_fromhtx woo hoo! We think we made some good choices too. Houston is such a great foodie city!
didn't care for the food. it's just ok.
Its actually $25 dollars now. Very good ayce dim sum. Yang chow fried rice. Lots of assortment. Come hungry.
For sure you need steam rice with those Cajun shrimp.
💯 but we’re scared of extra carbs when we travel because we need to maximize eating 😂😂
I went last week for lunch. They wanted to charge me for the price of dinner cus i was only 1 person. 25 for lunch, and 29 for dinner. I left.
The dim sum is low quality and they don't roll the cart out often. About 15 min intervals and they run out if dim sum fast, and you're stuck eating the cheap buffet foods like fried rice and egg rolls. Its basically a bait and switch.
Guys, I appreciate your videos. It’s open my eyes to so much of SGV.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Somehow there's still so much more of SGV to uncover 🙌🏼

Organs, eg liver, are an acquired taste and frankly are not healthy if consumed often. (Think of the job of the liver.) I like your review.

Not sure why but my local Grocery was selling bottles of the LKK sauce for 69 cents... canadian currency. I stocked up. I notice lots of people reviewing Huy Fong alternatives complain that many of said alternatives aren't as spicy, but I honestly don't remember Huy Fong being that spicy itself. I think people were just climatized to having it all the time and are comparing how spicy new sauces seem compared to when they started putting their Huy Fong sauce on everything for the first time. I could be wrong though.
im in LA for a month and im binge watching all your videos right now. !!!
Wooo a month!! That’s awesome!!! Let us know where you were able to try!
This mofett pot pie was sold, new owners raise prices, and the pot pie's ingredients ( like the chicken) had 'dwindled' down.
All of the flavors are meh. Not worth the money.
