Taiwanese chain known for handmade soup dumplings & Chinese fare
"Oh, Din Tai Fung. With their infamously long lines and much-discussed soup dumplings, no other Chinese restaurant in LA has inspired as much awe, fear, or tweets from @Americana at Brand Memes. Their locations in Glendale, Arcadia, Costa Mesa, Century City, and Torrance are all available for delivery/takeout, so there’s no better time to get your fill of wontons, Shanghai rice cakes, and, if you’re as serious about meal prepping as we are, 20-30 orders of soup dumplings. Order through their website or on most major delivery platforms." - kat hong
"A popular Din Tai Fung location known for its high-quality soup dumplings and a variety of other Chinese dishes. It attracts many diners due to its convenient shopping mall location and reputation for delivering the best xiao long bao." - Matthew Kang
"A famous soup-dumpling chain where “you’ll find a generous assortment of veggie dumplings but no soupy variations.”" - Jess Eng
"Its Taiwanese xiao long bao and dumplings are packaged and presented in a way described as being 'like a romantic gift,' making them a recommended to-go treat for a at-home celebration. Observation by Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest." - Mona Holmes
"In the event you’ve been chilling under a rock, Din Tai Fung closed their flagship location at The Americana and reopened one block over at The Galleria. It was juicy and dramatic, but all that really matters is the same great dim sum remains. This massive Taiwanese soup dumpling and noodle palace is still one of the most popular restaurants in all of SoCal and has the wait to prove it. If you come here for a weekday lunch, you’ll probably be fine. But on weekends, wait times are counted in hours. Is it worth it? Unequivocally, yes." - brant cox, sylvio martins
