📍Coordinates: Taipei, Taiwan

I have visited the bustling Din Tai Fung 101 store many times.
Despite the constant flow of tourists, every time I eat here I feel that it still maintains its food quality and service standards.

101 praise members who spend over $588 on the same day can also get a discount for 3 hours of parking. In Xinyi District, where land is at a premium, the problem of eating and parking is solved, which increases the willingness to come to this branch.

Because there are always a lot of people queuing up, I’m used to drawing a number plate as soon as I arrive, then walking around nearby, and using the app to check the queuing progress at any time, so I don’t feel like I have to wait too long.

This time, the two of them ordered some dishes that they must order every time they come here. They also tried some new dishes and described them in the pictures.

The only thing I forgot to take a photo of is the "Shrimp Meat and Red Oil Cake" (see how eager I am to eat it🤣), which is a must-order every time I come here!
The wontons are filled with whole prawns, which is very delicious, but the best part is the sauce. It must be paired with egg fried rice to make it complete. I believe everyone knows how to eat it! They are in a group, so they order both together every time.
I heard that you can pay extra for Chao Shou sauce, but I haven’t tried it before and I don’t know how much to add.

Before writing this review, I also read other people’s reviews. It’s interesting to know what everyone orders when they come to Din Tai Fung. I always order the same few dishes every time I come here, so I can try new dishes next time! I hope my sharing can give everyone some different ideas.

This is probably the most visited Din Tai Fung branch in Taiwan.
Famous landmarks + the power of department stores. The crowds really never stop.
If you come to draw number plates at about 5:30 on Monday evening, you will have to wait for more than an hour on site.
What’s great is that you can order online with the QR CODE first. Once you’re seated, you don’t need to wait for long before the food starts to arrive.
This is indeed a flagship store. There are a lot of seats. There are many more seats than you can see from the outside. There is also a large area in the back! There are also seat-carrying robots and food-delivery robots on site, which children will probably like 🤖
This time, the seating arrangement for four people is spacious, so you won’t feel crowded even if you order a lot of dishes.
The service staff are still the same caring and gentle and provide attentive service at any time. Thank you to all the service staff🙏🏻

I am a Din Tai Fung lover. As someone who has tried all the items on the menu, the most recommended meals are all on today’s order list (please see below)
The chocolate xiaolongbao personally feels special but tastes ordinary
Suitable for sharing when dining with foreign friends
It has a slightly bitter taste and can only be eaten once.
In addition, you must order all the items today! ! !

What are we eating today! 📝

𓌉𓇋 Grilled braised rice bran $110
·You won’t be able to go back to the grilled bran after you eat it. Even the toppings on the side are so delicious. It has a gluten-like texture.
𓌉𓇋 Crispy Shrimp Cake $280
·There is coriander in it. People who are extremely sensitive to coriander should not eat it. Although I don’t like it, I can’t eat it. The shrimp cake has a great aroma.
𓌉𓇋 Hong You Chao Shou (shrimp meat) $210
·Needless to say this must-have point⋯
𓌉𓇋 Yuan Gu Chicken Soup $230
·It’s a pity that the meat is relatively dry, but it’s really nice to drink a cup of soup by yourself. The soup is delicious and not greasy.
𓌉𓇋 Amaranth Beancurd Stick $310
·Has a Shaoxing aroma that is different from other stir-fried vegetables
𓌉𓇋 Steamed mutton dumplings (five pieces) $175

·My favorite among the soups. If you are a truffle lover, don’t miss it. The aroma is overwhelming. After finishing one cup, I still want to add another cup.
𓌉𓇋 Adzuki bean trifle (walnut, two slices per serving) $120
· The taste of walnuts adds another level. Personally, I think it tastes better if it’s cool than hot. I know how to QQ it.

Yes, I’m eating Din Tai Fung again! This time I ate at the 101 restaurant, which I haven’t eaten in a long time, mainly because I wanted to check out the iPhone. There are three Din Tai Fung restaurants in the Xinyi Department Store area, and 101 always has the longest wait, so I won’t come if nothing happens.

I heard that the food at 101 is of the best quality, but I didn’t really feel the same after eating it today. Coupled with the large number of people, the service is not as prompt as the Xianxian A4. And the quality of the amaranth I ordered today was not perfect. Maybe the season is almost over?

In short, there are other Din Tai Fung options in Xinyi District, so you don’t have to come to this one.
