I learned mandarin in the mainland so the romanization of 鼎泰丰 stuck in my head is different. Also, I was thinking more Bellevue square, where Din Tai Fung is fairly located across the street, so it’s actually a choice to make (though getting a seat at cheese cake factory is usually easier). I would put them up as comparable: they are both chains, they are both kind of pricey for chains, and if I were in Beijing, it would be a legitimate question to think about going to that or a western food chain.


I love this comment because it exposes several cultural assumptions in the parent which were not obvious to me on first reading.
