World-famous Taiwanese dumpling chain Din Tai Fung has announced that its first-ever London restaurant will open on the 5 December — on Henrietta Street in Covent Garden.
The chain’s opening — mooted, feverishly anticipated, and talked about for several months — will bring its iconic xiaolongbao to London for the first time, ahead of opening a second restaurant at the Centre Point development in Tottenham Court Road in 2019. The Covent Garden restaurant will seat 250 people, with key ingredients imported directly from Taiwan to ensure consistency with its sites in Asia. The chain recently told Eater that London was right for the brand, and its dumplings, owing to it “being a foodie capital of the world, [that] would not accept any less.”
