Din Tai Fung - The Galleria Mall — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

Food was delicious but they need to understand vegetarianism more. Many dishes are helpfully marked vegetarian on request, but I was then asked if chicken stock would be okay, or if a “small amount” of eggs or dairy is okay. This made me lose trust that the dishes are actually vegetarian, and several reviews say the same about chicken stock. I just hope none of the dishes had fish or oyster sauce in them or a “small amount” of eggs, dairy or other flavouring because staff did not seem to really understand.

The food was delicious however and my meat eating friends loved their food (they recommended the spicy cucumber to me which I loved, the broccoli dish was very tasty too but we had to ask to remove chicken stock and chicken flavouring from it and I worried it was not truly vegetarian). Our drinks were fresh and delicious and I had a (hopefully…) vegan dessert dumpling. I wanted to try some of the noodles or soups but I unfortunately could not trust that they would actually be vegetarian. I had a tasty meal but worried in the back of my mind the whole time that something I was eating was not vegetarian, that it had hidden meat stock or powder or fish, and because of this I would not go back, however if you are not eating with vegetarians or vegans you will have no problem. I just wish they fully understood vegetarian or vegan diet and did not think chicken stock or other flavourings, even a “small amount”, is okay. But if my food was fully vegetarian, it...

Old review =(The ambience is quite good. Standards are well maintained. The food is excellent quality! Probably the best dynamite shrimp in the world. Although what's even better is the staff.

If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, especially dumplings, this restaurant is a must-visit. It’s a haven for those who appreciate variety, offering a diverse selection of dishes to tantalize your taste buds. The dining ambiance is thoughtfully curated, providing both indoor and outdoor seating options. We initially opted for outdoor seating, which was lovely and relaxing. However, the windy weather that day prompted us to move indoors, where the atmosphere was just as delightful.

The food here is not only delicious but also prepared with great care and attention to detail. The staff is highly attentive, ensuring that guests with food allergies are catered to by inquiring beforehand. They are transparent about which dishes are vegetarian and non-vegetarian, helping guests make informed choices. Their politeness and dedication to excellent service stand out as they guide you through the menu and assist with selecting the best options.

The menu is extensive, featuring a wide range of offerings, from soups and starters to main courses, beverages, and desserts. One standout dish is their vegetable soup, served with ginger and soy sauce—a perfect balance of flavors. Whether you're a vegetarian or not, there is something here for everyone. Highly...
