             We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and
have the following
       comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
       may better understand your disclosure.

              Please respond to this letter by providing the requested
information and either submitting
       an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your
registration statement on
       EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and

response.

       Amended Draft Registration Statement Submitted on May 21, 2021

       Prospectus Summary, page 1

   1.                                                   We note your response
to our prior comment 1. However, it appears you have only
                                                        revised your disclosure
in certain places of the filing to precede disclosure of GMV with
                                                        disclosure of your
revenues. For example, on page 1 in the second paragraph of the
                                                        overview section you
only discuss GMV. Please revise your disclosure throughout the
                                                        filing, as applicable,
to precede disclosure of GMV with disclosure of your revenues in
                                                        each section.

2.       We note your response to our prior comment 4. You have revised your
definition to
         remove the language "regardless of whether the products are sold or
delivered," however,
         your GMV amounts have not changed. Accordingly, please tell us whether
or not your
         GMV measure includes any revenue for items not sold.
If our expansion into new geographical areas is not successful, page 18

3.       We note your response to prior comment 11. Please revise here and in
the Business
         section to more fully discuss the aggressive pricing model that you
use to enter new
         markets and its short-term affect on your profitability. In addition,
please revise to
         explain how long you typically maintain aggressive pricing and clarify
how you determine
         whether the order density is sufficient for you to maintain operations
in a market.
Any lack of requisite approvals, licenses, permits or filings, page 25

4.       We note your response to prior comment 5 and re-issue. Please revise
your disclosure to
         explain why you have chosen to register certain regional processing
centers
         and fulfillment stations, even though you do not believe you are
required to do so. To the
         extent registered centers and stations impose additional costs and
burdens, please discuss.
Key Operating Metrics, page 101

5.       We note your response to prior comment 12. To the extent that you
provide metrics by
         member, it is unclear why member retention rates would not be material
to an investor's
         understanding. Please revise to disclose your retention rates or
explain why they are
         unnecessary.
Dingdong Membership, page 113

6.       We note your response to prior comment 14. Please disclose the current
fee structure,
         including the range of prices at which your various memberships are
offered. In addition,
         please provide additional information about your discounting
practices.
Procurement, page 114

7.       We are unable to locate your revisions in response to prior comment 15
and therefore re-
         issue the prior comment, in part. Please revise to provide further
detail about how your
         products are sourced and the costs incurred by farmers to comply with
your D-GAP
         agricultural practices. While we note your added disclosure at page
116, please explain
         how you determine which products and suppliers will be subject to
exclusivity clauses and
         non-compete clauses.

8.       We note your response to prior comment 18. Given that your prospectus
disclosure
         appears to emphasize that you are a technology company, please expand
the discussion of
         your digitalization and artificial intelligence capabilities.
Specifically, discuss in greater
         detail how you develop and acquire technology and your strategy to
pursue continued
         technological advancement and future initiatives.
       You may contact Aamira Chaudhry at (202) 551-3389 or Lyn Shenk at (202)

any other
questions.
