I'm at Din Tai Fung. Basically the Taiwanese Dorsia. You'll never get in, but look on as I post photos.
I went to the TST location a while back, good stuff
>TaiwaneseThat’s a no from me. Taiwan food sucks. It’s just worse Chinaman food
>>20929837It's true. I was sad because Taiwan is a beautiful place and the people are lovely but holy crap, their shit is Japan-levels of bland.
>>20929816>Din Tai Fungdon't use the 2nd stall in the men's room.the seat is always covered in piss.
>>20929845I WILL be pissing on it. Thanks for the tip
>>20929845sounds like there's sum ting wong at din tai fung
>>20929816I don't know what Dorsia is and I'm so indifferent to knowing I'm not even going to google it.
>>20929844>Japan>BlandNice meme
>>20929852
>>20929852It’s a super exclusive gay fetish club in Berlin. Don’t search it unless you want to read graphic descriptions of what goes in gay German fetish clubs and see lots of pictures of leather men.
>>20929852You should probably go back
>>20929859>5 pot stickers for $14why didn't they just choose a location in queens so they could charge actual prices instead of fake-ass uptown garbage numbers?
>>20929867You don't even want to know how much this girly drink costs lol
>>20929879we need a revolution of rope.
>>20929882>wahh I can’t afford a faggot drink at a faggot restaurant >billions must dieGet fucked commie scum. I hope your landlord evicts you.
>>20929886this is just bok choy
This looks like nothing but it's one of the best things I've ever eaten
>>20929897It's baby bok choi
>>20929908
>>20929903I will try and imagine
>>20929927Those look a Dark Souls enemy.Post bill pls
These Szechuan beef and chili oil chicken wontons stole the show
>>20929816Elegant and classy, something Americans don’t know. They shud stick to fast food.
There’s one in Taipei 101 that I just wandered into. Nothing special.
>>20929933Funny, I was thinking they looked like RPG slimes. Sure, I will
>>20929853Negro, we're talking about a cuisine which removes the green part of a garlic clove for being to strongly flavoured lmaoJapanese food is supremely fucking band
>>20929948Yeah, they do look like an enemy from a JRPG. I’m thinking mudmen or mushroom men.
>>20929933*taps*
>>20929933LOLChecked holy fuck i lost my shit
>>20929897>>20929908It's Shanghai choy tip.
>>20930027
They have the chefs in a big tank like fish
>>20929845
>>20929933Not the worst honestly
>>20929816Don't care. I'm leaving this thread and looking for one on American fast food.
>>20930057How much are you tipping tho?
>>2092993914 dollar potstickers. You’re eating at Vietnamese Applebees. Enjoy that elegance and class lmao
>>2093005716 dollars for "Bacardi Light Rum, lychee liqueur, fresh lime juice, and mint" is insane.
>>20929816Dorsia would have security staff to keep the fat boomer peasants in Great Value blue jeans off their doorstep. You went to a dollar store PF Chang's.
>>20930062that's about how much shit would cost in my area lmao, and i'm in tacoma
>>20930062Ordering drinks at any resturant is dogshit, price wise. They all serve bottom shelf swill at top shelf prices and the only saving grace is that they're mostly used for mixed drinks
>>20930057
>>20930062This comment just reveals that you don't go outside the house
>>20930057Food looks quite good and the price is not bad at all for a fancy chain restaurant. Nowhere near a star restaurant, but it does look good. I'd drop in for a nice lunch on a weekday.
>>20930057>suggested tip $41.69lmao america
>>20930105They have a few stars but not at this location. Compared to Michelin restaurants I have eaten at, Nobu and Carbone, I would say this rates very favorably. Now I'm having a Sam Adams and watching the new Family Guy. 10/10 evening.
>>20930057huh? this is pretty cheap for nyc
bro took out his phone and took a picture of his piss streamgrown ass man boys literally never change
>>20930138this how imagine it looks
>>20930141Imagine the smell
>>20930038There's no Taiwanese people in this Taiwanese restaurant in Taiwan (except the staff)Hmmmm
>>20930151>in TaiwanThe first picture shows it's clearly New York
>>20930138>bro took out his phone and took a picture of his piss streamWe can all see that. This kind of stating the obvious comment is all over social media and I don't understand why. Look at any popular youtube video and there are massively upvoted comments that are >bro really did what he's doing the video im dead>5k updootsWhy?
>>20930155bro is really complaining about how people write comments on a peruvian alpaca enthusiast forum
LOL
>>20929852I'm guessing this anon never got trips or even dubs before. Sad!
>>20929837>>20929844this, Taiwanese never had to live under a communist government for close to a century or more so their people never had to come up with tasty dishes to cope with their shitty lives.
>go to a nice restaurant>be an annoying faggot taking photos of everyoneStay home
>>20930175>Dat yt boi tooken a pitcha
>>20930189>muh metacommentary
>>20930038Man, it ain't no Dorsia. Every chud there is dressed like slop.
>>20930038me left of the fish tank
>>20930221That's how high status people dress now. It's a sign that you have a job where the human capital is valuable enough that they can't enforce a dress code like some kind of middle school. Dressing "up" just makes you look like you work in The Office (aka some flyover tier paper pushing bullshit) and/or you are autistic as fuck and larping as someone from the 50s
>>20930229You don't have to wear an autistic reviewbrah suit, but you shouldn't wear a t-shirt and jeans to a nice restaurant.
>>20930221that's because it's not an expensive restaurant
>>20929816How is a franchised brand even remotely similar to Dorsia
>>20930235People of genuinely high status don't care if you think they're following your preferred antiquated dress standards or not.
>>20930235You would've had a point if you said "cookie monster pajamas" but tshirt and jeans at a nice restaurant is unironically a symbol of status, same as wearing a tshirt and shorts in a hypercar
>>20930281it's really not. noveau riche aren't new and they've always been tasteless slobs, because you can't buy breeding.
>>20930235Definitely not. You’re right. Anyone who says otherwise is low status. High status people know they should dress better to nice places.
>>20929853>weeb opinion fucking cringe. shit is bland and watered down chinese/korean food.
>>20929866sir that looks like a chilis
>>20930057>$8 beercheaper than my local pub
>>20930221>Every chud there is dressed like slop.this but unironicallylooks like a typical bar/restaurant in any city. everyone there is dressed like they make your average 60k/yr job just slightly above min wage
>>20930137Right? I spent about that much for dimsum a few weeks ago.
>>20929816>Taiwanese>it's in New YorkWhole thread was lies.
>>20930505You're dumb as fuck, holy shit.
>>20930141kino
thats cool but I can make all this stuff at home for a mere fraction of the price
>>20929816How do I into taiwanese food bros?
>>20930573Take Chinese food and omit all flavour.
>>20929994checkm8
>>20930057Reminder if you tip outside of America you are worse than an American.
>>20930573It's pretty easy, they put the Burger King menu on the counter so you can just point to what you want.
>-$200 for some appetizers
>>20929844>my mouth was fried by too much salt and MSGok enjoy your spicy szechuan flavor mcdonalds
>>20930038What are these outfits? It's Horrible i tell you, its full of generics! I would have left immediately!
>>20929866>Taiwanese Dorsia>posts pic of slob wearing a baseball cap and hoodie eating there
>those prices>those peoplelol, lmao.
The reason people thought it was in Taiwan is because you wrote that it's the "Taiwanese Dorsia". Now, I don't know what Dorsia is but I assume it is a fancy restaurant in the US which in turn would imply that Din Tai Fung is a fancy restaurant in Taiwan. Of course there is a picture but it is just a picture of the street which is not really interesting enough entice one to open the thumbnail.
>>20930762That book was set in the 80s. If you went to Dorsia today, people would wear a baseball cap and hoodie. The elite in NYC simply don't dress like you think anymore. Look at this photo: Even without recognizing the individuals, you can tell who's beneath who by the outfits. The nonchalant hoodie wearer exudes complete dominance over the suits, signaling with his carefree manner of dress that he is so powerful, he doesn't need to abide their convention.
>>20930981>you can tell who's beneath who by the outfitsYou can certainly tell who's beneath whom, but the outfit isn't the big clue here.
>>20930057this really isn't that expensive at all
>>20930981nta but nyc has lots of restaurants with dresscodes, retards on /ck/ talk out their ass more than any other board.
>>20929927Just realized what I was thinking of, it's the jelly enemy from wind waker
>>20929816>unfilleted fish>plain white rice>no utensilsThis is africa tier.
>>20930989You're so out of touch it's hilarious. There are maybe 3-5 of them left, and they're doing it as a meme. Les Trois Chevaux made national headlines for requiring a dress code in 2022 because it was such a quirky novelty. It was so alien to guests that they had to provide suit jackets for people who didn't have them. Then they dropped this policy after a year because nobody went.
>>20930752They’re cookie cutters. No tan ten tens in the whole place.
>>20930720How ironic, considering that sodium is literally the only flavour to Taiwanese cuisine. >mcdonaldsAh, yes. Claiming the person with whom you disagree eats McDonald's, the omnipresent swansong of the /ck/ poster who's got nothing more to say.The likelihood is that either you've never actually had Taiwanese cuisine or you're a Taiwanese guy who won't admit to the fact that while every other aspect of your culture is neat-o, your cuisine has the flavour depth of common tap water with a bit of added salt. Just bland bland bland.
>>20931029yeah try getting into Per Se or Le Berneardin wearing sweatpants and lmk how it works out.
>>20931083Delmonico's has always had a dress code
>>20931083I can file an ADA complaint saying that I've got skin sensitivities and am unable to wear dress trousers or dinner jackets. Then eat there after my ADA lawsuit makes the news. : )
>>20930057>$66/personpretty cheap actually
>>20931086they'll tell you to wear linen.
>>20931086Those places have high powered lawyers to prevent bullshit like that.
>>20929938Looks like dooty. I could go to good ol Chang down the street at China jade and he'd make me the same thing for $5.
>>20931086Sorry, I didn't realize I was communicating with someone too retarded to put on pants.
>>20931094Good point and maybe a decent compromise, but the lawsuit would still happen. I have a documented skin sensitivity but it, admittedly, send to have stopped being a problem in the last year for some reason. I used to have reactions to all sorts of things but I just don't anymore. Still, I've got enough documentation to make a compelling ADA case against a dress code. : )
>>20931097>bullshitNope. See >>20931103>>20931102Mi amigo negrito, I know English is difficult for you, but sweatpants are pants. It's right in the name, Miguel.
>>20929837sichuan chinese food is good everything else is mid so if they don't have sichuan it's probably gonna be mid
>>20931105Travis, I know being white trash is hard, but sweatpants aren't real pants.
>>20929816>You'll never get inBruh, there is an Indian standing out front with an untucked collared shirt and sneakers.
>>20931103Do you the money to drag out a retarded lawsuit? They do. Lawsuits are really expensive.
>>20931125>out front >in
>>20931103I'm sure you'll come out on top after all the time and money spent on nyc legal complaints over your skin issue or whatever thats keeping you from wearing clothes and going to dinner
>>20931129Cripples always seem to have unlimited money for this bullshit. I don't know who the hell is funding them but it needs to stop.
>>20929866Nothing says fine dining like serving meals at the bar
>>20931131If you look closely you will see he is in the process of entering the building
>>20929816>>20930057WOW OP you must be so rich! Such a baller move really impressed me right here. Are you a Cargill heir? Fine dining and shiet. We've got the crepe de la cream amongus
>>20931133>time and money spent on nyc legal complaintsYou really don't know how ADA lawsuits work, do you? lmaoDo done research before you comment on things you obviously know absolutely nothing about, sport.
>>20931124>sweatpants aren't real pants>because... WELL THEY JUST AREN'T, OKAY?!lmao
>>20929863wtf dude no its not its just some stupid app
>>20930057Fatasss
>>20931209no I don't know how they work, because I'm not disabled to the point where I need to file complaints about restaurants
I love how I can never tell if OP is super committed to playing the part or if they really are just some moron yokel.>>20931029Dress codes are weirdly common in Atlanta, but I think most equate to "don't dress like a black person".
>>20931212Oh, you really are disabled. Just call the restaurant instead of submitting a lawsuit.
>>20929816>You'll never get in>>20930057>$200 for 3 pers.is you poor or a nigger?
>>20929816Did they just make everything look fancy and charge 50% more because it's NYC? Most of their locations in Los Angeles are anchor restaurants in malls.
>>20930981These niggers are in suits eating food with their hands, kek
>>20931902Someone post the dress code for Hollywood Hulk Hogan’s old restaurant
>>20931972Dats dey culchuh. Notice Zuckercuck is following their custom and also dining with his hands. The weirdest part is they swallow the fufu whole. They don’t chew it at all.
>>20931972do americans really?
>>20930281No, it doesn't, it's literally never been and never will and communicates "I am a tasteless nouveau riche faggot." I bet you are the type of motherfucker who leaves the house in sweatpants and thinks that's acceptable.
>>20932116I go out all the time in my cucinelli sweatpants, peasant. Being comfy is priceless.
>>20932116To be fair, I'm >>20931086and even I don't wear sweatpants/pyjama bottoms outside of the house. Actually, that's technically not true; I don't bother to get dressed to go get the mail/paper or if it's a nice morning and I'm having coffee on my porch. Still, I don't leave my property wearing sweatpants. T-shirt and jeans in fine dining says one of two things to me 1) you're a child or child-minded adult who doesn't even own proper clothing or2) you're disabled, like in my example>>20931928>Oh, you really are disabledWhy yes I am. Physical disability. I'm an amputee with lupus. The lupus gave me sensitive skin for years but it stopped last winter. I still have lupus, I'm just no longer allergic to bandaids, fabric softener, deodorants, most laundry detergents or bleach.
>>20930057Isn't this a prestigous restourant directly at Broadway? Why do they still try to push you to tipping?Shouldn't they be able to properly pay their staff?
>>20932229>I'm an amputee with lupuslol. What body part did they steal?
>>20932294He obviously had his dick chopped off.
>chain restaurant street food is considered fine dining on /ck/wait until you hear of pf changs
>>20930981that's not a fancy restaurant either you fucking idiot. it's some random african shit
>>20930057what the fuck, its just normal dim sum but upcharged 250%well at least the atmosphere is good?
>>20930078Pwned
>>20929816>DorsiaThat's Barcadia
>>20932317I have a kid, you cretin.>>20932294Parts of my right leg. Lupus caused my body to be allergic to my own blood, a rare condition called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. This caused the blood to stop flowing to my right leg, making parts of it literally die and needing several fasciotomies and an amputation to remove the dead, rotting flesh.The vast majority of diagnosed patients die with a year because CAPS can cause sudden organ failure. I've been going strong for fifteen years since diagnosis.
>>20930057Nice of you to treat your entire family like that
I actually ate at a different Din Tai Fung last week.
>>20933149It clearly says "guest count: 3"
>>20932987>Parts of my right legWhat? Did they cut off your calf and glue your foot to your knee? If they carved out some necrotic tissue but you still have a whole leg, then you’re not an amputee.
>>20929816Did your escort enjoy the meal?
>>20932987Ok, dickless
>>20933383The fasciotomies are not the amputations. Lower part of the leg, below the knee, near the ankle, but my calves were also largely removed (fasciotomy) as was the inner thigh.>>20933526I, perhaps weirdly, have a rather thick, girthy dick, actually.
>>20933272Bold of you to assume I can read.
>>20933675What was the reason for the ban? And I thought only mods could ban. Janitors just clean up.
>>20930281>posting MrBeast as a winI can't tell if trolling or genuinely retarded, probably a mix of both.
>>20933675mods/jannies here are nitwits but so are evolutionary sociologists and anyone who naturalizes society claiming what human history has brought about is somehow all dictated by biology. only a little less dumb than believing it was all done by god.
>>20930057as a new yorker, this isn't that bad, $50 per person for 4 people plus tip ;) is pretty reasonable. I've spent $100 per person at korean barbecue and it was pretty worth it desu. $16 for a cocktail is standard in nyc but they usually make them pretty strong so it's worth it compared to just ordering a beer which would be like $9 or $10 at a place like this.I've been told by my techfag friends on the west coast that eating at restaurants in the bay area is like 3x as expensive for the same level of quality you'd get in nyc. I firmly believe california is way fucking gayer than us.
>>20933587They stole your foot? Do you have a wooden foot now lolol?
>>20933403Yes
>>20933696>>20933711>>20933809The moderation on this board is just despicable. This is actually a lively thread with interesting discussion that's more than tangential to food and cooking. What's the point of coming in to an original thread and cherrypicking posts to randomly hand out bans, when that interrupts actual discussion, meanwhile 90% of the threads on this entire board are low effort slop that nobody even wants to reply to. Nobody is asking for this level of heavy handed intervention in the browsing experience. Meta posts are on topic.
>>20931103You aren't entitled to eat in the dining room either. you can eat in the closet or in the kitchen with a chair we'll pull up for you, or maybe just put a table and chair there for you to check all the boxes
>>20929866looks like almost certainly could get a table
>>20933809>i got banned for replying to youSo you're posting about how you're ban evading right now?

>>20932987>antiphospholipidmine came from the covid vaccine, literally no symptoms, other than a weird annual eye exam, then straight to my mitral valve, I have a metal valve now for being so young, and a pacemaker.

>>20934435but anon...
>>20929938Im so fucking hungry right now. This place looks so good.
Is this real Taiwanese food or what? I've had real Taiwanese and it's perfectly fine but kind of bland.
>>20929816Those street signs aren't in Chinese. You're at a knockoff place.
my nearest Din Tai Fung has robot servers and it's a fucking nightmare.They blast loud chinese cartoon music but they aren't in syn with each other at all, so like 4 robots driving all around this crowded chaotic restaurant all blasting hellish music. and of course because the place is full of bingbongs nobody pushes their chairs in or keeps the walkways clear of their bags and shit, so these robots get stuck spinning in circles unable to get around. at one points I had three of them all around me and they were just idling in place, blasting music, because nobody would push their chair in or pick up their bags to let them pass through.absolute fucking nightmare, never again.

>>20934461Raises the questions: Did OP have a date with him? If so did he really pause whatever conversation they were having to take pictures for 4chan.org?
>>20929816>You'll never get in,While in NYC, I prefer to enjoy Ktown choices. I'm always disappointed by the mass produced soup dumplings. I want my ban chan pickles, more varied textures and herbs, excellent service, and just the higher class of korean crowds.

>>20935473Nobody keeps tracks of these shitty places the way you do
>>20935405Nobody appreciates the artist
>>20935526And nobody thinks >>20929866 is "fancy schmancy" like you do, trailer trash.Once, my ex's country cousin came to visit us in tHe BiG CiTy and we took him to a local brunch spot. He verbatim said>I ain't never been no place this fancy! And I had to hold in my laughter and mockery because the spot wasn't even remotely "fancy." I guess houseplants and sunlight = fancy to country folk lmao
>>20935700Din Tai Fung NYC has an impressive presence when you go downstairs. It's huge, and definitely nice. You don't seem extra cultured when you pretend not to think nice things are nice, you just seem like you're lying
>>20934987> t. Kike
>>20935730Or, and stay with me on this, you're just easily impressed because compared to Pappy Cletus's Mudpit and Foodtrough, anything would seem "nice."Missus and I took a friend and his wife visiting from NYC to a restaurant we liked when we lived in Philly. Nothing fancy, just an Indonesian spot we enjoy. His reaction was that not that we're in our thirties, we should go to nicer places like that one. After they left, missus and I talked shit like wtf, bro. That place was nothing special and I have no idea how the fuck it passes for nice. Oh, wow. Decent tile. Matching silverware. Proper tablecloths. Glassware. Cloth napkins. Courteous service. If that's what's nice, then sure, Down To Fuck is nice. I'm just not remotely impressed with what's just fucking standard to me. You'd probably lose your goddamn mind at Chinese restaurants in Italy because they have aquarium floors or coffee houses that have marble counters lmao
>>20935906Oh, and when we visited them in Queens, they took us to• Unidentified Frying Chickens or whatever the fuck it was called • some cart with the worst momo I've ever had• the absolute worst dimsum we've ever had in our lives (the missus and I; friend and his wife were bigging the place up like it was the best shit ever) He grew up horrifically poor. I grew up what I thought was middle class but I've since learned, through conversations like these, might have been upper. I think that's why he's easily impressed with shit like tablecloths and I'm not. Are you the same retard in that other thread that said that guy is rich because he uses Mrs Meyers cleaning products?
did you get cream of sum yung gai?
