The story of Din Tai Fung dates back to 1958 when it was originally founded as a cooking oil retail shop in Taipei, Taiwan by Bing-Yi Yang and his wife, Pen-Mei Lai.

In 1972, the couple dedicated half of their shop to making and selling Xiao Long Bao. The Xiao Long Bao became so popular that Mr. Yang phased out the oil business, turning Din Tai Fung into the full-fledged restaurant it is today. Since its founding, Din Tai Fung has become synonymous with quality, consistency, and warm hospitality. With a menu boasting far more than just Xiao Long Bao, the brand has won many accolades, including the coveted Michelin Star five times at its Hong Kong branch, and has introduced a taste of authentic Taiwanese cuisine to 13 countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and Thailand.

Today, Din Tai Fung continues to be family-owned and passed down through generations, staying true to its heritage and timeless values.

We believe the care and intention we put into everything we do is reflected back in the experience we create for our guests and the communities we serve.
