"Din Tai Fung @ JB City Square
Good food, especially the 红油抄手, Xiao Long Bao, and the Pork Chop Fried Rice. Service was fast and food delivered quickly as well. Overall, a good dining experience at DTF and would recommend or come back again in the future."

"Headed here for our dinner as we were lazy to head out into the city again prior to going home - and realised the last time we had this was in London which was almost a year back, at double the price with less dishes too.
Food were still decent in general, but it didn’t stood out like before. Ginseng tea was nice, pork chops were still in abundance, and the vegetables were as good as before.
No frills spot for dinner."

"Din Tai Fung in Johor is an absolute delight for anyone who loves authentic flavors and top-notch service!
I tried the Xiao Long Bao, and they were perfection – delicate skin, juicy filling, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The shrimp spicy fried rice was fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and had just the right kick of spice while still being so comforting. The seafood noodles were loaded with fresh seafood, rich in flavor, and so satisfying. The chilli chicken added that extra punch – tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with heat.
To top it all off, their milk tea was smooth, creamy, and paired beautifully with the meal – a perfect finishing touch.
Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, consistent with the high Din Tai Fung standard. The ambience was warm, the service attentive, and overall it was such a fulfilling dining experience.
If you’re in Johor and craving amazing Chinese/Taiwanese food, this is a spot you just can’t miss! 🥟🍜🍤🍗🥤"
