I applied in-person. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Taipei) in Apr 2022
Interview
A regular interview (20-30 minutes) followed by a trial day (about 5 hours) with some other candidates, where they have you practice basic tasks following their guidelines (wiping tables, setting tables, welcoming customers, etc)
Interviewer was reserved and told me I’d hear back from the recruiter in a few days to inform me of their decision. I feel like I did pretty well and dressed well but I’ll have to wait to see what they say.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a little bit about yourself. Why din tai fung. What is one bit of negative feedback you’ve received and what is one positive one. Etc.
was easy, didn't have to do to much. You have to be competent, though, the job is very labor-intensive and requires a lot of multitasking. They are the biggest restaurant in NYC after all.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview was located in a building in downtown. Everyone was given a time slot, so I did not have to wait long until it is my turn. The interview itself was quick and straightforward. It was really efficient. Interviewer was also really friendly.
