3rd DTF branch I've visited. The place wasn't busy when we went there.
I looove Taiwanese food and everything we had here was YUM! We ordered shrimp and pork wontons with spicy sauce, pork chop fried rice, and the never to be missed pork XLB. For drinks we had lemongrass juice and milk tea.
BEST XIAO LONG BAOS IN THE COUNTRY
Great food as always in a DTF. Food quality is always up to park here. However, it takes staff very long to clear tables. Sometimes there are many vacant tables that have not been cleared even with a very long line outside. I hope a better system can be put in place for that.
Xiao Long Baos are still king in the joint. So are the different fried rice and custard buns.
New milk teas are also quite delicious and refreshing.
Idk why my last review got deleted :/ it was so good lol now I’m too lazy to write again lol. Anyway,
This place is fire. I come here often. XLB’s are fire. I usually get pork. Chicken XLB is fine too. The other XLB flavors are kinda funny to me. I like to stay classic w pork. The braised beef noodle soup is also sooo bless. It’s comfort food & hangover recovery food all in one. I like to get half&half beef&tendon to get the best of both worlds. The noodle soup checks off 2 of my favorite food qualities: tasty & tender.
If u come here, pls invite me. Lmao. Rack up points on my moment card u feel me lolol. Nah but fr I’ll gladly be ur foodie buddy here. So send the invite! ;) pls ty ily mwah :)
Ate here twice in a week 👌🏼 it’s that goood!!
I love this branch! Super nice staff, food, interiors & ambiance. Shrimp & pork wanton noodles was a bit bland but overall good food + Best xiao long bao i’ve ever tasted ☺️
Thank you to the servers - Cyril, AJ, Jen, Clarisse 😋

When this restaurant replaced what used to be Bubba Gump, it just looked and felt much bigger. We arrived after the peak of lunchtime and it was still queueing outside. Fortunately, we only waited less than five minutes.
We tried the new Uni and Pork Xiaolongbao and it didn't taste that different from other variants. And to think we were advised not to use the usual sauce to appreciate the uni flavor more. I suggest getting other XLBs because they're cheaper and just as delicious. Sweet and Sour Chicken plus Crispy Shrimp and Pork Wontons were pleasingly and perfectly crispy. Vegetarian Mushroom Wonton Noodle Soup was simple but tasty and relaxing. Wontons broke apart easily, though, and the chopsticks' slippery grips weren't helping. Pork Chop Fried Rice can stand as a solo meal. DTF Hot and Sour Soup was perfectly sour, and finally, the DTF House Special was freshly addicting. Again, we had difficulty with the chopsticks for these too.
Lemongrass Juice was my top choice for cold and refreshing tastiness. Iced Rose Tea was nice and cold too, but not comparable to my fave.
Wait time outside the restaurant was perfectly acceptable. Advice for the new XLB was sort of helpful. Paying the bill on our way out was convenient and we were well-informed about the Moment Card's mechanics.
It's our first time to try DTF and our experience was great. The service was excellent. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. Kudos to Joy, Yang, Emil and Jenny for making our experience a memorable one. The food was delicious and great value for money. Hopefully, they add refillable drinks to the menu.
Food and service were good. Not a fan of the checkout where you have to line up.
