DTF was introduce to me when a friend brought me to the flagship store in Taiwan eight years ago. It was a very impressive five story high building. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, I remember the line already formed half hour prior to opening. The experience was unique, to watch through the glass store front window of so many people inside making nothing but soup dumplings. Then to climb the stairs to one of the level to be sited in a very crowed space. And everyone was eating the same thing. So having tasted the original, I would venture to say this DTF's Dumplings are very close to the real deal and being consistently good for all my visits. Soy milk, sticky rice roll and other dishes I had was equally tasty!
Service is just ok, not particular friendly. But the food alone deserved the four stars. Will be back!
