"In the event you’ve been chilling under a rock, Din Tai Fung closed their flagship location at The Americana and reopened one block over at The Galleria. It was juicy and dramatic, but all that really matters is the same great dim sum remains. This massive Taiwanese soup dumpling and noodle palace is still one of the most popular restaurants in all of SoCal and has the wait to prove it. If you come here for a weekday lunch, you’ll probably be fine. But on weekends, wait times are counted in hours. Is it worth it? Unequivocally, yes." - brant cox, sylvio martins
