I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I was hired by a manager that was separated from the company not too long after.
They just asked me basic textbook interview questions: where do you see yourself in the future, why DTF, what makes you fit the position, 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.
you have to make a video audition which is awkward. also you MUST be clean-shaven to be considered. with a razor, not a trimmer. they laughed at me when i said i have never used a razor but will learn how
