12 Don’t-Miss Dumpling Destinations in San Jose and the South Bay

"No dumpling guide would be complete without Din Tai Fung, the world-renowned Taiwanese restaurant chain. Since it was founded in 1972, the shop has focused on making and selling carefully crafted xiao long bao, steamed pork soup dumplings. To this day, Din Tai Fung weighs each dumpling to exactly 21 grams and folds them by hand to achieve the signature “golden ratio” of 18 folds. The company has opened 170 locations in 13 countries and boasts an extensive menu that includes an array of steamed buns and potstickers. Though the Hong Kong branch has garnered the most international acclaim with a Michelin Star, the Westfield Valley Fair location in San Jose definitely draws quite the crowd." - Cathy Park
