Din Tai Fung is a popular Taiwanese restaurant known for its authentic dishes and impressive dumpling-making show. Visitors often recommend making reservations weeks in advance, as the restaurant doesn't take walk-ins and the wait can be a couple of hours, though sometimes faster than quoted. While waiting, guests can explore the mall or watch chefs prepare dumplings through a large clear window. The signature xiaolongbao is juicy, flavorful, and a highlight of the menu, described as delicious with a great mix of textures and flavors. The restaurant offers a variety of incredible dishes, including the famous soup dumplings and Shanghai Rice Cakes with Chicken, with some side options like fried rice and noodles. Even simple dishes like sautéed cabbage are standout dishes. The service is excellent, with staff greeting guests with a sincere smile and greeting, and the food came out very quickly. Although it can be slightly loud and pricey, the high-quality food and efficient service make it a highly recommended spot for those seeking authentic Taiwanese cuisine. They also offer Mango Shaved Snow.
