I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Arcadia, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Asks about prior experience, reliability, positive attitude, really like people who smile a lot, able to work under pressure, and problem solving skills. They want to know if you can work well with others because team work is very important during the shift. If one person isn't doing their job, it throws everyone else off and we fall behind.
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.

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.
