Din Tai Fung requires no introduction, it is a household name worldwide renowned for its mouth-watering soup dumplings, aka Xiao Long Bao. But Din Tai Fung is so much more than just a dumpling restaurant. . Recently the restaurant launched a Christmas Feast banquet menu at $50 per person, it was indeed a tasteful feast with whopping 14 courses, starting from five types of dumplings and finishing with a mango dessert. It featured the signature pork dumpling, pan fried pot stickers, as well something a bit more decadent – black truffle and pork dumplings.This is truly the place to be for dumplings lovers.
I hadn’t been to Din Tai Fung in so long and it was as good as I had remembered. The wait wasn’t too long and the service is always quick and efficient. The Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wontons (pictured) are my absolute favourite. Given that it is currently truffle season in Australia we could not go past the Pork & Truffle Dumplings (pictured). So, so good and you could actually taste the truffle! #dintaifung
Who's ready for Mardi Gras this weekend?
To celebrate, Din Tai Fung Australia have launched a limited edition Rainbow Dumpling! Available until 4th March.
For me, seeing the progression that Australia has made with accepting LGBTQI is quite remarkable. I was extremely excited to try these dumplings, not only because of how adorable they look, but also because it warms my heart to see that restaurants are also embracing this new culture.
Din Tai Fung is a global enterprise and it's easy to see why. The quality of the food is unmistakable and I love that there is a great mix of traditional and modern Chinese food. Of the dishes I was lucky enough to try, I absolutely loved the rainbow dumplings with chicken and mushroom filling and the assortment of mini buns - chocolate lava, golden lava (salted egg yolk) and taro. Spicy wonton noodles had a substantial amount of heat so beware! To calm the palate, I would highly recommend the mango pudding with fresh mango. Texture was silky smooth and the evaporated milk provided a lovely creaminess.

My go-to restaurant whenever I’m craving Xiao Long Bao! I’ve visited countless times and the franchise has never let me down. My favourite is the Shrimp and Pork Wonton Noodle with Spicy Sauce. The Egg Fried Rice with Crumbled Chicken Fillet is pretty good too. Although restaurant is a little pricier compared to other Chinese restaurants in the Sydney, I still highly recommend visiting!
Their xiao long bao is always my favourite in sydney. The spicy noodle was amazing as well and the wantons inside. It was filled with pork and shrimp. The fried rice is always the bomb and the chicken cutlet was so crispy yet not to over dry. The service was quick as well
Awesome food and the quality is consistent . Very good service and a good variety of food available on the menu. Nowhere does the siu lung bao better then them
Their #Xiao long bao# is OK, but not perfect, in terms of taste and price. Again if you go to Shanghai you'll find a lot of restaurants selling such thing, and are juicy, tasty, cheap and awesome.
The restaurant has really nice decoration. The kitchen is transparent and you can see chefs making food through the window.
#Prawn Port Wonton Soup# $11.5, might be not enough for dinner. The soup is light. The stuffing pork and shrimp are nice. I added spinach, $1.8 sounds price-worthy for balancing the meal.
#Fried Rice with Fried Chicken fillet# #16.8, it's a very strange dish. I've never seen a restaurant in china that serves greasy chicken fillet together with egg fried rice.
This restaurant is inside the Central Park mall, and is always crowded. Their xiao long bao's are very flavourful, and very authentic! Would come back here just for those.
Small portion, just 4 dumplings, but tasty and fresh.
You can watch the staff make them in front of you behind the window, so you know they are fresh.
