Selected by the New York Times as one of the world's best restaurants 20 years ago, this Taiwanese dumpling chain has been riding the publicity ever since. It's developed a faithful following with its dumplings, lovely service and sleek modern design. A playroom for the kids makes it a family favorite.

Maybe famous, but not great Nice xiaolongbao, but they're missing something in the quality department:
our veggie dish came with a nice white worm sticking out between the leaves
they had clueless waitresses giving out completely wrong directions on the phone
Sorry, but it takes more than this to be a great restaurant in this town these days. I would put this restaurant in the category with Quanjude; famous, worth a visit, but not particularly special compared to what else is out there.

i often eat at din tai fung and have found the food to be consistently good. the xiao long bao's may not be as impressive as those at theri flagship store in taipei, but for beijing, these have to be considered the best!

Well, not too impressed. (See above.)

A restaurant living os off its name and a NYT review that is over 10 years old now. The xiaolongbao are not bad but certainly not the best i have ever had. The service was a little slow and the place felt a bit chaotic. All in all so so.

Taste: average. Like the lighting at the restaurant. Price & service is acceptable.

Other than the fact they're still hyping up what seems like an "infamous" New York Times article that is more than two decades old — see the table settings when you sit down — Din Tai Fung is a worthy adversary for some of the best food in Beijing.
Stick with the restaurant's specialty, the "xiao long bao," or steamed pork buns. And place an individual order for everyone at your table. If you're interested in the noodle dishes, anything with meat is worth digging into.

I'm not an expat snob who shuns anything with good service and a tab over 50RMB. Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese establishment with multiple locations throughout Asia. It is hands down the best place for Xiaolongbao and doumiao. If you've found some other place where the dumpling skins are as thin, strong, and tender, or where the filling is as tasty at a third of the price, I say "Bring it!" Until then, all your other Xiaolongbao dens are simply MSG havens with bad service with nothing to boast beyond a local price.

What the Economist say's about Din Tai Fung Food fanatics were delighted when this popular Taipei restaurant opened its first branch in Beijing in 2004. The restaurant has a crisp, clean, contemporary look and is renowned for its xiaolongbao (steamed pork buns) and cairou zhengjiao (vegetable dumplings in bamboo steamers). The famous dandan mian, a noodle dressed in sesame paste and peanut sauce, is milder than the spicy Sichuanese version. Don't forget to try the deceptively simple chicken soup made with black-skinned chicken, which is blanched and then slowly steamed with ginger and spring onions.
