Din Tai Fung adalah resto sarat penghargaan yang berasal dari Taiwan, mengkhususkan diri di menu Xiaolongbao. Di luar Taiwan, ia juga memiliki cabang di Australia, Cina, Hongkong, Indonesia, Jepang, Malaysia, Singapura, Korea Selatan, USA dan Thailand.
Arti namanya adalah : 鼎 tungku - 泰, kedamaian - 豐kelimpahan
Pendirinya adalah Yang Biangyi yang lahir di Shanxi, RRC tapi pindah ke Taiwan pada 1948 karena perang di RRC. Setelah 10 tahun bekerja di toko penjual minyak, dia membuka toko sendiri setelah toko tempat dia bekerja tutup, dan dinamainya tempat tersebut Din Tai Fung, pada 1958
Pada 1980, minyak goreng dalam kaleng menjadi populer dan bisnis penjualan minyak goreng curah menurun jauh. Untuk menyambung hidup dia menjual Xiaolongbao. Akhirnya penjualan minyaknya ditutup dan malah menjadi restoran hingga menjadi franchise seperti sekarang.

Din Tai Fung is an award-winning restaurant originating in Taiwan, specialising in xiaolongbao (small steamed buns).[1] Outside its native Taiwan, Din Tai Fung also has branches in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the United States and Thailand.
The characters in the name mean: 鼎, a type of furnace; 泰, peaceful; and 豐, abundant.
History
Founder Yang Bingyi
was born in Shanxi, China, but moved to Taiwan in 1948 as a result of
the Chinese Civil War. After working 10 years at Heng Tai Fung (恆泰豐), a
cooking oil
retailer, he found himself unemployed due the store's closing. Thus, he
and his wife, Lai Penmei, founded Din Tai Fung (also a cooking oil
retailer) in 1958. Around 1980, tinned cooking oil became prevalent, and
business diminished drastically. In order to survive, Yang and his wife
began making and selling steamed buns (xiaolongbao)
on the side. The buns were so popular that the store stopped selling
oil altogether and became a full-fledged restaurant in the 1980s. The
original restaurant is located on Xinyi Road in Taipei.
Reputation
Din
Tai Fung is known internationally for its xiaolongbao (小籠包). However, it

| Din Tai Fung - Dining Area |
Desain tempatnya bersih, minimalis dan modern, sedikit terbuka dan mungkin lebih nyaman untuk anak muda.
Rasa makanannya sangat mirip dengan Paradise Dynasty yang dibuka di Lenmarc. Untuk selera saya, keduanya imbang, dengan masing-masing memiliki keunggulan cita rasa sendiri. Di PD lebih mellow / lembut, sedangkan DTF lebih spicy, banyak rasa yang tajam. Xiao Long Bao dan beberapa menu la mien menjadi andalan keduanya.
The place is designed with minimalism modern appeal, which will suits youngster more. The food choices are quite similar to Paradise Dynasty, a popular chinese rest. chain in Lenmarc Mall. The different is that PD have a subtler mellow tasting food, while in DTF it's a bit spicier. They are both feature Xiao Long Bao (steamed bun) and La Mien (noodles) as their signature dishes.
