Din Tai Fung is more than a universal name at this point and its reputation is reflected through the food. The dumplings are amazing and the ambiance ties it all together.
On a personal note, the only halal-friendly options are the vegan ones, a hit or miss. I wasn’t a fan of most of the dumplings including the vegan dumplings and buns. But, the redemption was made through the spicy vegan wontons and noodles, and they carried more flavor than most things. The star of the show is the chocolate dumping that you MUST have with sea-salt cold foam; it will take you through an experience that is unforgettable. It feels as though you are biting into a Kinder Bueno, waiting for the hazelnut cream to burst on your tongue. Balanced with a perfect chewy wrapping and saltiness, it should be the sole reason you visit the restaurant.
