Dec 09EAT / DIN TAI FUNG
Do you know how to properly eat a dumpling? If you are not sure, don’t worry, the directions on Din Tai Fung’s chopsticks will instruct you how. Delicious soup dumplings, super fresh veggies, and an attentive wait staff are just a few of the things you’ll notice at this amazing dumpling house. Might I recommend the spicy wonton soup, which in fact isn’t soup at all. Trust me and order it. My friend Stefani described the burst of flavors she experienced when she ate the wontons and once I took that bite I was taken to another world. Serious.
Did I mention that everything is meant to be dipped into vinegar and ginger? How more delicious do you want it? Paired with the most perfectly steamed broccoli and I am in heaven. A quick note, when Anthony Bourdain was asked what is the one dish he would travel half way round the world to eat again, he replied “the soup dumpling at Din Tai Fung”. I’d love to share dumplings and a bit of something else with that dream boat.
This looks wonderful! I will add it to the list of places I must take my main squeeze. He will like L.A. if it kills me!
He’ll love it because you’ll show him the REAL L.A.! Not the L.A. people think it is. This place is so delicious. I’d lie to meet your main squeeze by the way.
YUMMO!!!!!
I HAVE to take you to this awesome DimSum place in SF!
Do you remember the name? I know we wanted to go there over Halloween but it got too late. Cannot wait to go!
Tasty tasty xiao long bao.

Now that my 4-week jury duty is over we can totally hang! How about after the holidays?
I was just here Saturday night…possibly sitting at the same table you guys are at here. Had about two trays of the veggie dumplings and mixed vegetables. Although now I’m going to avoid this place because I am convinced it’s cursed cause the craziest shit went down right after.
OH SHIT! I need to know what happened. Lets chat soooooooooooooooooooon! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Where is this place and when are we going?
Lets make a date for the new year! 2010, yes! You’ll love it, I promise.
oh dear, it looks so good! I want to eat… NOW! I just had homemade wonton last night!

Wow, I love potstickers. Looks delish!
After reading this I googled the address and went here the same day. It’s so good, I suggest the fish dumplings.
I am so happy to hear this Kiki! I’ll make sure to try the fish next time. Thanks for reading!
[...] night my dear friend Stefani and I treated ourselves to a night of Din Tai Fung, an insane documentary called Prodigal Sons, and non-stop face masks (5 total). I could gush [...]
