It was not the standard I have come to expect at Din Tai Fung. I couldn't help but wonder if the sit down restaurant had better quality food.
IMO Din Tai Fung is much much better in Asia (especially Hong Kong) than elsewhere-I lived next to the new one in Seattle and it was slightly disappointing every time
