It’s a brand recognized over the world, and Din Tai Fung, a Taiwanese dumpling and noodle house, has finally arrived in Las Vegas in a spectacular space. Finally, visitors can enjoy the brand’s steamed dumplings, noodles, wontons and so much more.
You immediately feel relaxed upon entering Din Tai Fung’s interior, accented by granite floors, massive floor-to-ceiling windows, a light-accented “waterfall” and tall ceilings. To complement your mood, the restaurant offers several delightful cocktails. We highly recommend the Pear and Lychees Martini, a delicious blend of pear vodka, elderflower, fresh lemon and lychee, topped by an orchid. Also try the DTF Old-Fashioned, which substitutes Japanese whiskey for bourbon, along with Taiwanese oolong tea syrup, orange bitters and grapefruit peel.
Start your experience with the kurobota pork xiao long bao, dumplings full of pork and rich broth. Poke a small hole to get the juices flowing, then add the right amount of vinegar, soy sauce and ginger. Yum! Vegetarians can enjoy the vegetable and mushroom dumplings, filled with shiitake mushrooms, glass noodles, bok choy and dried bean curd.
If you’re in the mood for something spicy, try the shrimp and kurobota pork wontons with spicy sauce. And you won’t be able to stop eating the jidori chicken fried rice, so light and fluffy, and packed with big pieces of free-range chicken. Vegetarian fried noodles also satisfy, packed with Napa cabbage, spinach leaves and green onion-infused oil over house-made noodles.
For dessert, chocolate fans will love the chocolate and mochi xiao long bao, dumplings filled with warm, chocolaty goodness. More of a bun fan? The sesame bun will more than satisfy, filled with a textured sesame paste.
