Din Tai Fung Kaohsiung

This is the only Din Tai Fung location in Kaohsiung, bringing the Michelin-recognized xiaolongbao expertise to southern Taiwan. While Din Tai Fung has expanded globally and some might call it touristy, there's no denying the exquisite quality of their soup dumplings - each one crafted with precisely 18 pleats, filled with pork and hot broth, steamed to perfection. The thin, delicate skins hold together just long enough to get from steamer basket to your spoon to your mouth, then burst with flavorful soup. Beyond the signature xiaolongbao, their menu offers excellent fried rice, noodles, and vegetables. The service is impeccable, the restaurant immaculately clean, and the consistency remarkable - you know exactly what you're getting, and it's always good. For Kaohsiung residents and visitors who want that Din Tai Fung experience without traveling to Taipei, this is it.
