Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐

Pork Xiao Long Bao

The premium XLB variation with earthy black truffle folded into the pork filling — a meaningful upgrade, not just a menu upsell

Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai

Open-topped steamed dumplings with a snappy shrimp-forward filling and a clean, delicate skin — a reliable counterpoint to the XLB

Pork Chop Fried Rice

Crispy-edged fried rice with a tender braised pork chop on top — the sleeper hit of the menu that regulars always reorder

Spicy Wontons

Silky thin-skinned pork wontons in a chili oil sauce with actual heat — one of the few dishes on the menu with some edge

Cucumber Salad

Cold, lightly smashed cucumbers in a garlicky vinegar dressing — a necessary palate reset between dumpling rounds

Noodles with Meat Sauce

Hand-pulled noodles with a savory ground pork sauce — simple and deeply satisfying, especially as a table anchor for groups with kids

Steamed Chicken Soup

A clean, restorative broth served in a ceramic vessel — subtle and not flashy, but a useful palate cleanser or gentle starter

Red Bean & Taro Rice Cake

Chewy steamed rice cake layered with sweet taro paste and red bean — a traditional Taiwanese dessert done faithfully

Vegetable & Pork Wonton Soup

A mild, broth-forward option that tends to underwhelm relative to the spicy wonton version — order the chili version instead
