What travelers say:
The buns at Din Tai Fung are really good. There are strict requirements on the number of folds for all the buns. The requirements are very strict. The bun skin is thin and the filling is large. The black-bone chicken is also worth a try, with a faint smell of wine. The side dishes are very light.

The more people there are, the better the food. There were about 20 people in front of us, and it looked like we would get a table in 15 minutes. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and the menu has many set meals. We ordered 2 very delicious set meals, both with dumplings, a bread, some noodles and tofu pudding. They were all delicious. The prices here are very reasonable,
In other words, the environment and service are still very good, especially here, there are even foreign waiters. In fact, the buns and dumplings nowadays are much worse than before. The cages here are very big and the buns are very small.
I've always heard about its reputation, and when I got there, I found it was really popular. Many people were queuing up, queuing up to get a number at Din Tai Fung while queuing up to see the view of Taipei 101. You can eat at Din Tai Fung while waiting for the view. You need to set aside about an hour and a half for Din Tai Fung! The service in the store is very good, and the waiters are all pretty and handsome! I ordered a few special dishes. It's really delicious! My son, who is always picky about food, praised the beef noodles, and the wontons are really delicious! I won't go into the other details.
The transparent production process, friendly service and high popularity in the Chinese area make people want to have a taste of it. We waited in line for nearly an hour and the meal was only 45 minutes before and after, which shows that the service is fast and the quality is high. Xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, hot and sour soup, which are readily available to the common people, show their value here. Of course, the loss of money is also expected.
Speaking of Din Tai Fung, it is really famous. Even American movie star Tom Cruise went to Din Tai Fung's Taipei 101 store to experience the making of xiao long bao. Today, I finally ate Din Tai Fung and Yong Kang beef noodles, which should be a very popular meal in Taiwan. Din Tai Fung has many branches in Taipei, but the one on Zhongxiao East Road is gone. I searched for a long time this morning and finally ate it at Taipei 101. Yong Kang beef noodles are also two streets away from Dongmen MRT Station. The beef is very chewy and the noodles are chewy, but it feels a bit salty.
There is a 10% service charge, but it is worth it. Don't go at mealtime, or there will be no queues. I chose the store on B1 of Taipei 101, which is right at the MRT exit. Din Tai Fung's service is not only considerate, but the waiters are also very good-looking. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful. They are tall and have good looks, which makes you feel better when eating. I chose ordinary dumplings, loofah and shrimp dumplings, and taro dumplings. They all tasted good. The taro was sweet, but not greasy. It was just the right taste. I ordered the red oil wontons that many people recommended. I think it should be the kind that people who have not eaten wontons in Chongqing would like. The red oil is just for decoration and not spicy at all. The half-tendon and half-meat beef noodles tasted good. I ordered the braised bitter melon in sauce that I had never tried before as a side dish. It had a soft texture and basically no bitter melon flavor. So don't worry if you are afraid of bitterness. It is worth a try. The WIFI signal in Taipei 101 is pretty good, so shopping is stress-free.
It is a Michelin-starred restaurant, and it is super delicious. I highly recommend the Xiaolongbao and the shrimp dumplings. The environment is very good, and the food is served very quickly. You just have to go early. I went there at around 10 o'clock, and when I came out, I saw that the queue filled the entire hall. There were so many people.
