This is NOT the original Ding Tai Fung franchise! Although the food was quite tasty, the presentation of it was quite bad. I came here with my friend for lunch during weekdays and they gave us really bad looking xiao long bao. It looked squished and did not have its distinct folds. I felt like they gave us the ugly looking ones because we were not speaking Chinese and thought we don't know what traditional xiao long bao looks like. Very unimpressed. During weekends, the wait time was very long. I would rather go to another Shanghai restaurant than this one.
