Xiao Long Bao Worldwide

Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese restaurant chain specializing in xiao long bao, noodles and other dishes rooted in Chinese and Taiwanese culinary traditions. Bing-Yi Yang and Pen-Mei Lai founded the business in Taipei in 1958 as a cooking oil retailer. The couple began selling xiao long bao as oil sales declined, eventually transforming the shop into a full-service restaurant in 1972.

The chain became internationally recognized for its carefully prepared soup dumplings, which feature thin wrappers finished with 18 precise folds. Its menu has expanded to include wontons, fried rice, noodle soups, vegetable dishes, appetizers and desserts. Popular selections include Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao, Cucumber Salad, Pork Chop Fried Rice and House Special Spicy Wontons.

Headquartered in Taipei, Din Tai Fung operates approximately 180 restaurants across 13 countries. International expansion began with a Tokyo location in 1996, followed by restaurants throughout Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East. Its Hong Kong restaurants have received Michelin recognition, helping establish Din Tai Fung as one of the world’s most prominent Taiwanese restaurant brands.
