Ding Tai Fung - Markham, Ontario

Food: 2 Stars Service: 2 Stars Ambience: 2 Stars Value: 2 Stars Overall: 2 Stars I visited Ding Tai Fung in Richmond Hill with high expectations, hoping to enjoy a special dining experience with my friends. Our main reason for choosing this restaurant was its reputed soup dumplings, which I had heard so much about. ... Unfortunately, our experience fell short of what we had hoped for. To begin with, the soup dumplings were not as impressive as advertised. I have enjoyed much better ones at other establishments, both in terms of flavour and texture. The rest of the food was similarly unimpressive, lacking the distinctiveness and quality one would expect from a place with such a reputation. In terms of pricing, I found the restaurant to be overpriced for what it offered. The dishes did not justify the high cost, making it difficult to see any value in the dining experience. When you pay a premium, you expect a certain level of excellence, which was certainly missing here. The service we received was adequate but nothing remarkable. The staff were polite but did not go out of their way to enhance our dining experience. There was no exceptional attentiveness or memorable service moments, just a standard level of hospitality you would find at any average restaurant. Overall, I left Ding Tai Fung feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. The high prices combined with mediocre food and service mean I will not be returning. I expected more from a restaurant with such a celebrated name and reputation. For anyone considering dining here, I would recommend managing your expectations or perhaps looking elsewhere for a better value dining experience. I hope this review provides a clear picture of what to expect at Ding Tai Fung in Richmond Hill. It's important to share honest experiences to help others make informed decisions. kellychan360 Read more

My husband and I got seated immediately but if you’re in groups, it might take a while. One of our dishes took longer to be served and when we asked them why, the server had a hard time because she couldn’t speak English. However, she was knowledgeable with the menu ... and did her best to make sure we get our orders. 💗💗💗 The fried chicken was great for me, husband said it was normal. The dumplings made us both happy. 💗💗💗 Read more

The interior looks very grand and appealing, almost movie-like. Despite coming here on an odd hour its very busy as well although its a lively location so wait times should be considered when attending. The food here was alright- the dumplings are good but the rest of the meal was mediocre. ... The noodles were too oily and tasted bland. It felt like they made up on quality for quantity for their meals as serving size is big even for Chinese restaurant standard. The pancake was good though, I would recommend that and order it again.

We enjoyed our dining experience at Ding Tai Fung. Located in the First Markham Place, there’s plenty of parking available. We ordered the Soup Dumplings, Hot & Sour Soup and Pork and Chives Dumplings. Food was good as the dumplings wrapper were on the thinner side and the filling plentiful. The restaurant ... inside is clean with a nicer decor compared to other Dumpling restaurants. The cost though is on the pricier side. I’m interested in coming and trying out their Dim Sum service. It does warrant a visit and it’s a must try. Read more
