I love LOVE looooove Din Tai Fung!
Loves the energy y’all and OMG Bill Poke that hole! 😂😂😂 y’all are too cute. Those dishes looks absolutely delicious. Thank you guys for sharing another awesome video! Yum yum dim sum nice places you ate at! 😂😁🤶🏾🎅🏼🎄
Thanks Tanya! We all love dim sum! Oh btw, that new Star Wars ride looks epic! Thank you guys for sharing that vlog! Can't wait til the one in Anaheim opens.
I love watching you two!! You are such a cute couple, have such a great time, and look like two down to earth people. I’m can’t stop watching your videos.
Thank you so much!!
Poke the hole! Haha Haha! Love your channel! A New Mexico viewer.
Thanks for watching, L K!
For dim sum noobs, the soup dumplings actually have soup in them. They turn the broth into a gelatin during prep which obviously makes it easier as it’s a solid. When they steam the dumpling, the gelatin melts back into a liquid inside the dumpling. Their advice for checking the broth temperature is spot on. I’ve seen a dim sum experience end early from a mouth burn.
We appreciated these two places for serving their XLB's at eating temps. =)
Love you guys adding the video of the receipt to show the prices
Thought that was the best way to show all the prices individually.
Dim sum....my favorite for breakfast or lunch or dinner or even brunch...can't go wrong with either restaurants.
DTF is my fave so I have to try Bao. I’ve driven by it before and wondered if it was good. You guys HAVE to try the Pork Chop Fried Rice because it’s a must every time we go! :)
Saw that on the menu. Thanks for the recommendation!
Love Dim sum, will definitely give these places a try when in area. I kinda like the first place more just by looking at your experiences. Thanks guys.
Again, you guys do the work for us foodies so hilariously! Love it!
Bill your funny...makes me laugh.
Everything looks amazing ... I got some custard egg tarts in Chinatown Oakland and thought of you guys ..😋
Nice! Great egg tarts in Oakland Chinatown!
Love the cucumber salad! Next time at Din Tai Fung, get the shrimp and pork wontons in spicy sauce. Definitely the best dish there!
Sounds good!
Awesome video guys! I love dim sum! Hey did you guys know that in Century City there , they just got a Bake cheese tart shop? I tried them for the first time in San Francisco this year and now I'm totally hooked.
Bookmarked! Thanks for the recommendation, Goodi2shooz!
The food looked Awesome, thank you for sharing your food adventure.
We definitely gotta go try it now. Lisa didn’t care about the setting All about the food!!! Lol. You guys are too funny
You need to try the spicy pork and shrimp
wontons!
Din Tai Fung is surprisingly affordable! I will try!
Din Tai is always my go to but i prefer the soup dumplings at the Glendale location
I went to Din Tai Fung this past November for my birthday! At south coast plaza, we tried everything 🍜 soo good!!
Happy belated Birthday, Anna!
@@billandlisa thank you!
Always gotta eat ribs with the fingers haha fingerlickin good! I love Din Tai Fung just hate the long lines sometimes but it looked fairly empty when you guys went how lucky! I was just there at Eataly last week, great video and revieww as always :)
The dim sum tour was well needed. As the xiao long bao is my favorite and never knew the name.
Qq
I'm hungry! Can I have the Leftovers 😃! Food looked amazing!
This is right up my alley two thumbs up 👍👍 guys me and my sister eat dim sum yesterday at Chinatown in Las Vegas okay until I next video 💯🤙 mahalo
Oh man We have been craving Dim Sum. Definitely going when the kids are on Christmas Break.
The soup dumplings are so good!
Nice, thorough reviews! Wondered about the Din Tai Fung in Century City Mall, so thanks for that!
Worth a visit!
Bill & Lisa's food and travel vlog yes, I think so!
Haven't been to either place, but when I'm in the area, will have to give it a try...thanks for all the info, and love seeing the receipts as well. Ur the best!!
Check out Din Tai Fung's website for their locations, Joanne. Might have one near to you?
@@billandlisa Will do, thank you🥰
Our family will be taking a mainland trip in February, and stopping in L.A for a few days before heading to Vegas. We will definitely try one of these spots. Din Tai Fung would be my first choice, and I think my hubby and kids would agree. Mahalo for sharing, guys. BTW...what is the best Chinese buffet in L.A? Sending my warmest Aloha to you both!
We've been to a couple Chinese buffets in the past, but nothing to rave about. Maybe check out Yelp for some recommendations? Have a great time in LA & Vegas!
Been to San Jose Westfield Mall for nice won ton soup...beautiful place !
I love this location at century city because you can reserve via yelp to help with the wait time.
din tai fung isnt considered dim sum so that is unfair. dtf is my fav, place ever, but then again i always go to the og places in taipei
GREAT VIDEO THANKS
About 5 years ago I went to Las Vegas China town, and went to a Vietnamese Rest. To try their Pho and Banmi sandwich, it was really good, Have you ever been to any of the restaurants in China Town? Hope you explore LA and LAS China Towns, thanks for all your videos...
that is crazy I noticed that they were both $72 but it flashed real fast so I couldn't see how many cents but if they both landed exactly the same price that was really crazy and you should buy a lottery ticket !! seeing those buns have convinced me that I have to go to Tim Ho wan today I need to go to the palms any way to play my free play so it will be perfect to get a six pack to go... Sweet goodness of those buns I love them !! Also I was going to ask you did you ever eat at Nordstrom's ? They also have a great Cafe kind of hidden away... Safe travels hope to see you in Vegas sometime !! 🎲♥️♣️♦️😁
Same total to the cent! Crazy! You'll love Tim Ho Wan's buns! Have not ate at any Nordstrom cafes, did a coffee from them a long time ago though.
Heard a rumor that some dim sum places are using frozen product. Just noticed that the second stop's soup dumpings and egg tarts look almost identical to what I normally get at my dim sum spot. At least the first stop let you film them actually making the dumplings. Do you guys prefer the meatball hum bao or the maunapua style bun instead?
Both are good, just depends what mood you're in. Can't go wrong with a manapua though. =)
You guys have good taste in food.
That was very economical for what you got.
Have you all tried the malasadas or egg tarts from Paderia bakeshop in irvine or fountain valley?
Not yet. Haven’t really gone to that part of the OC lately.
I don't know if Delta flies to Taiwan but you've got to visit the original Din Tai Fung in Taipei (old, multi-story building with each floor being a single small dining room) and the much larger, modern one also in Taipei. Both are better than any other Din Tai Fung in the world but the newer one has the edge (and is more popular among the locals). I've been to Din Tai Fungs throughout Asia. The ones in China (Beijing and Shanghai) are pretty good but the ones in Singapore are the worst (even worse than those in California--just like their outlets of the Tim Ho Wan chain, I don't know why).
I don't think we have any flight into Taiwan, but if we do ever make it there, we'll for sure try them out!
The MOST important question...how did the egg tart compare? (I’m allergic to eggs but they look soooooo delicious!)
Sadly, no egg tarts at Din Tai Fung. But, the ones we ate at Bao's were pretty good!
I meant compared to Oakland, those are your favorite if I remember. You two are da bomb.
@@msavp7492 The ones we had in Oakland are better. =)
If you compare them based on foods only, would you still choose dtf?
Hard to say for me, both places had their hits and misses.
Wow that’s crazy. Exact same bill. Haha
I really want to go to a specialty dim dim restaurant. Some day , some day.
Now am hungry :-)
AT din Tai fung once, I ordered Spare Ribs, thinking they'd be served HOT, and was so disappointed when I got cool food, and it was meant to be that way. In a way you have to laugh, but, still. cold food? Nah, nah, nah!
Hope you bought the lotto and win and if so more videos please 😊
We have yet to check our tickets. lol
Dim Sum Yum!!!!
BTW, did you buy a lottery ticket?
Bought some yesterday, haven't checked them yet. lol
Try Dim Sum Express Monterey Park.
The fried rice is the authentic Cantonese style. They way it should be! Not the dark soy sauce laden crap you find in American Chinese places! And it is hum sui gok
Lisa was close. lol
Hi from Hongkong🇭🇰
Dew Hai, Poke that hole baby he says!!👍
Din Tai Fung is not dimsum. BTW: You are in my neighborhood for Din Tai Fung.
i love din ti fung
That's what she said...
Chubaka lmao!
Do you guys have children? Can you invite them to your vlogs too?
Yes, they are in a few of our vlogs. Check out the library for their special appearances! =)
These two eat ONLY very high calories items 😵 LMAO
Tst! Tstss! Dim Sum 点心 or 饮茶 essentially means 'bite-size tasting tea brunch' where you eat a variety of different bite-size food while drinking tea.
This only shows that any jack & jill can be a YT food blogger. LMAO
Bao is $$$$
On par with DTF. lol
