Highly acclaimed and Michelin Guide recognised Taiwanese dumpling hotspot Din Tai Fung has announced it is expanding its London footprint, launching its third restaurant in the capital this September.

A fun, canteen-style dim sum restaurant; set over two floors and with a bustling atmosphere. This is the first London branch of this successful Taiwanese export, famed for their moreish xiao long bao.

The super-hyped Taiwanese spot Din Tai Fung are finally opening their second restaurant in Selfridges. A second site was always in the works but unfortunately, Covid prevented the launch of the long-awaited Tottenham Court Road branch.

All because of your continued support, we’ve been voted Best Dumpling in the UK by the Golden ChopSticks Award for the second year in a row!!

Our world-famous dumplings are going to be in the world’s best department store.

The eatery had humble beginnings but has become an international phenomenon.

So we missed this when they launched last week - but think it's well worth bringing to your attention as a public service announcement. When we first visited Din Tai Fung, among the things we really wanted to try were the salted egg yolk custard lava buns - made with duck egg yolk. We'd heard talk of them, they sound amazing and they LOOK amazing. But were, alas, not available. Until now.
