Din Tai Fung is best known for its xiao long bao, pleated soup dumplings (18 folds, to be exact) filled with pork, crab or chicken, along with ginger, green onion and a savory broth. Other menu staples include potsticker-style dumplings, shao mai, pork buns, vegan buns with bean curd and mushrooms and wontons, alongside noodle dishes, soups, rice cakes and more.

Founded by husband-wife duo Bing-Yi Yang and Pen-Mei Lai, the popular xiao long bao purveyor began as a cooking oil retail shop in Taipei in 1958, shifting focus in 1972 to a sit-down eatery offering dumplings and noodles. Its first North America location opened in Arcadia in 2000. Din Tai Fung plans on opening a fourth Orange County space later this year at Brea Mall.
