I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Bellevue, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied in person during open interview hours. Easy typical interview with no unusual questions. Described previous experience, customer skills, etc. Was contacted a few days later with job offer.
Super fast and easy. Offered me the job 10 min after I left. They asked basic questions about my experience, why I wanted to work there, and how my experience could contribute to the company in the greeter role.

Question 1
How does your work experience relate to the role of a greeter?
Job interview was extremely easy. Only had to answer two questions. Why I wanted to work there and how I would handle frustrated customers. Then was my turn to ask the manager questions of my own. I had a couple in store which is what I think landed me the job. I was offered the position on the spot.
I applied online. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Torrance, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview was with a manager in the back section of the restaurant. Since it was a little loud in the restaurant, I felt less nervous and more relaxed. The process took about 30 minutes and I was given an offer on the spot.
