Location: No. 194, Sec. 2, Xin Yi Rd., Taipei, Taiwan
Price: $$
Food: *****
Service: ****
Overall: *****


Every time I have a friend soliciting food suggestions in Taipei, the very first place I point them to is always one and the same – Din Tai Fung, so they have a chance to experience the world famous Xiao Long Baos (XLBs).

Just how good is this place? The Hong Kong branch received a Michelin star in 2009, and the original Taipei store was named one of the ten best gourmet restaurants in the world by NY Times in 1993. All this, for making the most amazing XLBs known to mankind.
