Din Tai Fung Reviews
Decent
04/20/2025 - Los Angeles, CA
Pros
Decent pay for a part-time job without restaurant experience
Cons
Lots of work, upward mobility limited to need and timing
Pros & Cons
03/07/2025 - Costa Mesa, CA
Pros
• Consistent pay & fair tips• Good place for experience w/ restaurant/fine dining and working as a team• Good coworkers make shifts better• Management is decent
Cons
• Difficult to move up! It takes a long time and some barriers to get promoted to server even though management will tell you to be patient and keep working hard. You have to keep bugging them to notice your efforts & hard work. Everyone takes a “competency test” and an extensive 4-part test to move up and most people fail the first time they apply. Then you have to wait 3 months to be considered again.• Management can be snappy and get annoying towards the team if they are in a bad mood. • In order to appease upset guests they often let difficult customers win, and a lot of guests complain bc of wait times.• Leads get a power trip• Strict uniform standards & attendance policy
Becareful and take managers info with grain of salt
