8Asians.com: Din Tai Fung Dumpling House: Dumpling heaven

  • jozjozjoz · 1 year ago
    Personally, I think that Din Tai Fung is overrated compared to other places in the San Gabriel Valley for 小籠包 (xiao long bao). I think they're expensive and the lines are annoyingly long (well, maybe not so much now due to the new expansion), but for sure the parking in that lot is a pain in the butt.

    I heard that the Din Tai Fung is Taipei is much better than the one in Arcadia, but since I've never been, I can only compare to other places in the area that serve dumplings.

    Awesome post :D

    Been to both the Din Tai Fung's in Arcadia and all three in Taipei (if you count the one in SOGO at Zhongxiao Fuxing)... nothing comes close to the very original...

    of course you'll have to take a 200NT taxi and wait hours to get a table... but damn is it worth it!

    That's in my hometown! I pass by there everyday.

    It is OVERRATED.

    It is a great way to fool people.

    Taipei's is WAY BETTER! I remember it when I was a kid. When I went there recently, I was shocked by how expensive and blend the food is.

    If you want REAL dumpling go to DUMPLING HOUSE in TEMPLE CITY.
