Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum

Whenever I'm in Markham, I alway go to Ding Tai Fung to quench my Dumpling cravings! This restaurant makes the best steamed pork soup dumplings! Its sooooo gooood! Comes out hot and juicy the way i like it! You can see the people making fresh dumplings everyday which is why they taste sooo good! I also enjoy their brasied noodle soup! They make their own home made noodles which is even better because it less doughy and fresh unlike other places which use the packaged noodles.

The dim sum here is the most authentic I’ve ever had, and lucky for me, it’s Shanghai-style as opposed to Cantonese-style. That means, no carts rolling around and plenty of xiao long bao for all!
All the dim sum items we ordered were delicious. The xiao long bao was perfect, and the beef rolls tasted like heaven! And the price is quite reasonable! I will be back again for sure!

This place is fantastic!

The food is fresh and extremely flavourfull. There are these little pork dumplings that I always get when I go that are to die for. They each have pork and seasonings and a little juice inside that squirts into your mouth as you chew.

The onion pancakes are very good as is all of the food that I have ever had there.

The service is curteous and fast. The decor simple and tastefull. The place is earily clean for a Chinese restaurant which normally alerts me that this may be a Westrernised version of Chines - but it's not.

I reccomend anyone who likes Dim Sum to give Shanhai Style Dim Sum a try. You may never go back to the more popular Hong Kong style.

The only problem I have with this place is that it is more expensive than traditional Dim Sum, so I can't go all the time. But it's worth every penny.

I loved this restaurant.

First of all, it's clean. The utensils, bathroom, floor-everything was clean.

Their menu has a good variety of different foods. Especially catering to all sorts of people (vegetarians, people who don't eat pork, people who love meat).

Best of all, they have a see-through (window) at the back. You can watch the chefs make the dumplings.

Try not to go on weekends cause it's PACKED.

Absolutely dillicious food, arguably the best Chinese food ever eaten. Menu is high in variety, but concise categorization. Fast serving speed. Definately worth a visit!

the food looks so good, and tastes not too bad, but one of our dish (not sure which one) certainly not fresh or whatever(...), we all get sick after this dinner, my 7-year-old daughter was vomitting whole night, two adults get diarrhea. stay away from this place.

FANTASTIC food! Clean and bright! Staff very accomodating! We eat here all the time. One of our favorite restaurants in the GTA.

Ding Tai Fung is one of my favorite dim sum places in Markham. I go there often with friends and family. It's a great place to go with kids--the staff and other patrons seem to enjoy having kids there.

Their specialty is dumplings (you can watch them make them fresh behind a glass wall) and they have a tremendous variety. I am not of the culture so am not too adventurous but the regular "wall tip" and "siu loong bao" are fresha nd yummy. Not cheap by asian food standards, but acceptable for quality. Don't expect 5 star service or ambiance, just good, fresh food.
Since you can order all foods steamed or boiled, a great alternatives from greasey fried foods.
