I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Waited for interview for about twenty minutes along with other applicants. Wouldn't recommend after hearing many quitting. You are seated along with a couple. Introduced outside of the restaurant and there you are introduced with broad questions. Rumors about manager looking more for females over males. Last question I asked was about how many people applied and would have to say about 100 people applied for overall positions.
Laid back interview. Told me I’d hear back in less than a week at the earliest, but did not follow through with that promise. Ask availability and why their location

Question 1
Availability, why DTF and location, asks too the about yourself
Pretty straight forward, all behavior questions and similar to the online interview. First go through online interview and then an interview in person and its about past experience and where you see yourself at DTF
The interview process was very relaxed and informal, mainly focused on a general vibe check. They wanted to see if you could communicate clearly, work well with a team, handle a fast-paced environment, and have a positive attitude.
