I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
Interview process was mostly about customer interactions. I was able to impress my interviewer with prior experience handling customer situations (Bonus points if you say "guests" and not "customers"). They want upbeat, unique, and smiling personalities over all.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The interview was incredibly brief and occurred in a small booth at the front of the busy restaurant. It began immediately after sitting down and involved typical questions such as "tell me about yourself", "have you worked in a restaurant before?", "do you work well in a team?", "do you enjoy working with people?", etc.
