"An outpost of the world‑renowned Din Tai Fung in Downtown Disney brings the brand’s celebrated food to the resort’s shopping and dining district, adding a globally recognized option to the mix of restaurants there." - Carly Caramanna
"A well-known Taiwanese dumpling restaurant that opened as a major, permanent dining anchor in July 2024, bringing familiar Taipei flavors to the resort—favorites cited include spicy wontons and sesame xiao long bao—and even offering a limited-edition pin set tied to the park’s anniversary, marking a meaningful culinary connection for Taiwanese and broader Asian-American guests." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.

"I note that the new Din Tai Fung at the Downtown Disney resort in Anaheim also operates reservation-only, which the company is using as a model for the New York opening." - Luke Fortney
"After a two-year wait, I visited the new Downtown Disney outpost of Din Tai Fung, which opened for reservations on June 24 with a full opening scheduled for July 1. The 7,500-square-foot restaurant, designed by Rockwell Group and inspired by traditional Chinese pavilions, offers a spacious interior and a climate-controlled patio; an expo kitchen opens into the dining room so I could watch dumplings being made. The menu follows the familiar Taiwanese and Shanghainese lineup of noodles and dumplings found at other Los Angeles locations, and the opening coincided with a new line of merch; cocktails are available now with expanded beer and wine offerings coming in July. Reservations are available through Yelp." - Rebecca Roland
"Known for its xiao long bao, the popular Taiwan-based dumpling chain Din Tai Fung is officially in the clothing business: it released an apparel line called DTF Essentials timed for its forthcoming Downtown Disney District location in Anaheim. The inaugural collection for the Anaheim store morphs its signature dishes into characters on green baseball hats, keychains, and jersey T-shirts, and offers playful items like a dumpling-shaped purse and a mascot-emblazoned fleece hoodie; pricing and the opening date haven't been announced, but given the brand's popularity and new location these items seem likely to sell out." - Mona Holmes
