Those who love Chinese dumplings can not come to eat at this restaurant. Here you will find a wide choice of dumpling and soups. The service is quick and the staff is friendly and full of advice to help choosing meal. Fantastic dumpling!!!!!!

Our first encounter with Din Tai Fung was in Singapore and we loved it. So when we were in Taipei, we just had to eat again in DTF. The Xiao Long Bao was great, as were the other dimsum we ordered. But some of the items we ate in DTF Singapore were not available. All in all, we still had... More

This is one of the most well-known exports of Taiwan… the famous dumpling empire which serves delicious steamed dumplings aka xiaolongbao (literally translated to “little dragon buns”). During the past 20 years the restaurant has become so famous and they have a lot of branches in many countries such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Japan, USA and Australia. The...

We 2 families visited Taiwan in Feb. 2013. A friend family picked us up at airport and drove to Din Tai Fung (101 Branch) directly. When we got to the door of Din Tai Fung at 2pm, we were told we had to wait for 70 minutes. We were with 8 adults and 3 kids together. At most 45minutes later,... More

We were quoted a 50 minute wait for 2. We walked around the food court and got some yummy fried chicken nuggets as an appetizer and then was seated in about 30 minutes. The place is big and spacious. Open kitchen so you can see how the dumplings are made. Dumplings certainly did not disappoint. Lovely sides too.

Grabbed a group lunch here last week...ate so many dumplings that I cannot imagine eating any more for the rest of my Asian trip! Highly orchestrated and professional establishment that has locations in several countries...someone told me the chain originated in Taiwan. You can watch the staff making the dumplings through a large window. I do recommend this place for... More

This is a restaurant that is the perfect example of great food that is reasonably priced. 1 of my favorites since i tried their cuisine in Singapore last year. Always hot, steaming, flavorful and always consistent across Asia. Restaurant is very clean with show kitchens showcasing Chefs at work. Must try the Xiao Long Bao with Truffles, the best i... More

I eat at Din Tai Fung in Shanghai and Hong Kong also. Only a little pricey but beats the food courts by far.

Din Tai Fung ,though we didn't eat at the 101, we did at Sogo, you can watch them make the dumplings right there at the restaurant , the food is so fresh and delicious ,that you won't mind waiting in line ,it's well worth it. Go hungry and try a little of everything ,and take pictures of all your food!
