You would probably not come to this outlet of DTF because of its location. It’s near the industrial area and its full of furniture warehouse shops in the vicinity. There is a mega church nearby though which may be a source of revenue for the church lunch crowd.
Nevertheless there is indeed a queue at 7.45pm and some patrons are told that their wait could be as long as 25 mins. I was told 20−25mins but was my turn in just under 10 mins. Service was par excellence. From the counter outside the restaurant to the servers in it, the Chinese helpers serve around smiling and delivering the dishes like clock work.
Once you’re seated, Chinese tea is immediately served. Don’t drink it if you don’t want to pay for it or you didn’t even order for it. But it’s only $ 1. So whatever, take the dollar! They noticed me and my companion have bags with us and they brought forth a chair for us to put our bags in it without us even asking. How thoughtful. Dishes were served promptly and food quality is just as good as it gets for a DTF restaurant. We merely ordered a pork chop fried rice, ten Xiao long baos and a shrimp wanton noodles. Oh and for any and every DTFs, we have to order the lemongrass juice. This drink has been revealed to me as a mystery — it was hidden but later revealed. You don’t get this anywhere. The lemongrass juice mixed with some lime in a big ball of ice. That’s a little defilement of the knowledge of truth if you miss this when I’ve just told you the truth plainly. Unilocalpededee!
