What is Din Tai Fung? Why is it so famous?

According to its website, Din Tai Fung is a world-renowned Chinese restaurant originating in Taiwan that specializes in soup dumplings and noodles. Some of its popular items include its soup dumplings (known as Xiao Long Bao), spicy wontons and their chocolate dumplings.

As for why it has grown so much, they also explain it on their website, saying it starts with their founder Bing-Yi Yang and his original Xiao Long Baos he made in his cooking oil shop.

"DTF's Xiao Long Bao became so popular that Mr. Yang phased out his oil business and turned DTF into the full-fledged restaurant that it is today. With a menu boasting far more than just Xiao Long Bao, the brand has won many awards — including the coveted Michelin star at its Hong Kong branch — and has become an internationally beloved brand, offering a taste of Taiwan to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and Thailand."
