Din Tai Fung is a modern restaurant with a sleek design, featuring booths shaped like basket steamers and a glassed-in performance kitchen. The restaurant is a tribute to the original Din Tai Fung in Taipei, Taiwan, known for its meticulous dumpling-making process. The menu features signature dishes, including xialongbao made with Kurugbuta pork, as well as vegetarian options like spinach. While some visitors have found the food to be pricey and lacking in flavor, others have enjoyed the outstanding cuisine and pleasant atmosphere. The service can be slow, but the staff is generally friendly and attentive. With its stylish space, including a heated patio area, Din Tai Fung is a popular destination, although some may find it too expensive or not worth a second visit.
