"At Din Tai Fung, you will wait anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple of hours for a table while a vortex of small children shriek around you. Luckily, the legendary pork soup dumplings are worth the wait. The rest of the lineup including boiled wontons in spicy sauce, potstickers, pork buns, and sesame noodles are great too, but we all know you’re here for those xiao long bao—so get several orders, and don't forget to add the dry-fried garlic green beans, a.k.a. the best way to consume vegetables that we can think of." - Aimee Rizzo
"Washington is one of only six US states where you’ll find the xiao long bao soup dumpling palace known as Din Tai Fung, which now has Seattle-area locations at University Village, Southcenter (Tukwila), Pacific Place, and Lincoln Square (Bellevue). This Taiwanese import is a great place to explore a diverse menu of dumpling, noodle, and rice dishes. It’s almost hypnotizing to watch through the window as workers make the chain’s famous soup dumplings, which are as delicate and delicious as everyone says, although the shrimp-and-pork shao mai are arguably even better." - Jay Friedman
"There’s a good chance of a wait here—but you already are used to that for the Link, so what's a few more minutes if great pork soup dumplings are involved? Other dishes like wontons, potstickers, and pork buns are great as well, but we all know you’re here for those xiao long bao. Get several orders, and don't forget to add the dry-fried garlic green beans." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Nothing at Din Tai Fung will ever be as phenomenal as the dry-fried garlic green beans, but their many different types of wontons, potstickers, and xiao long bao come close. Din Tai Fung is a no-brainer if you want to order a big spread for a big group, especially when getting delivery." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
