Top 5 Din Tai Fung LA Menu Items
Top 5 Din Tai Fung Menu Items
Din Tai Fung, established in 1950s Taiwan, is known for its soup dumplings and other xia long bao dishes. The soup dumplings are the staple of course, but don’t let that make you underestimate the other menu items! Din Tai Fung has an incredible menu with a variety of savory and sweet dishes to satisfy your Asian cuisine craving! Here are the top 5 essential menu items to order that aren’t the classic soup dumpling next time you head to Din Tai Fung LA.
5: Cucumber Salad
This cucumber salad is a Din Tai Fung staple. Customers rave over its sweetness and saltiness from the mixture of garlic and vinegar! Start off your order with these crunchy cucumbers to cleanse your stomach for a great meal ahead.
4: Garlic String Beans
Just like the cucumber salad, these green beans make a great healthy garlicky start to your meal. The green beans have the perfect texture as well as an amazing balance of garlickiness with the saltiness.
3: Chicken Xiao Long Bao
The chicken xiao long bao is a new addition to the menu. This chicken xiao long bao is slightly different from the classic kurobuta, as it has a chickeny flavor instead of the meaty classic pork flavor. This chicken dumpling is lighter and saltier, which makes it a perfect pair to the classic pork dumpling!
2: Chocolate Mochi Xiao Long Bao
Finish off the meal like you started: with an amazing little treat. These chocolate mochi xiao long baos are the perfect meal ender as they are chocolatey and sweet and have a great chewy bite. The mochi is fresh and tender and the chocolate is rich and delicious.
1: Chicken Spicy Wontons
The chicken spicy wontons are by far my favorite menu item. These wontons have a depth of flavor that matches no other wonton soup. The chicken-y saltiness mixed with the spiciness of the chili makes this dish one of the best wonton dishes I’ve had.
