Downtown Disney in Anaheim recently added three new restaurants — but they’re still not stopping!

Din Tai Fung

A while back, we learned that the iconic Din Tai Fung restaurant — famous for its soup dumplings — would be opening in this shopping and dining district sometime this year, we just didn’t know when. Disney had shared an opening timeline, but now it’s official and we know when you’ll be able to try those delicious dumps! 

It’s official! Din Tai Fung soft opened with a limited menu at Downtown Disney Anaheim on June 24th, and will officially open with its full menu July 1st — that’s in just a couple of days! We’ve been keeping up with all the latest updates, and we’re happy to share that you’ll be able to enjoy those famous soup dumplings soon.

Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung is famous for soup dumplings, which are “hand-crafted right on sight,” at its current locations in Las Vegas, Costa Mesa, and other places in Southern California, Oregon, and Washington. These are in addition to international locations in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and Thailand.

Current locations feature various soups, many different flavors of dumplings and buns, wontons, noodles, fried rice, and dessert dumplings filled with chocolate, red bean paste, or sweet taro.

We got to try the bao!

Din Tai Fung originally opened in Taipei, Taiwan. According to the restaurant’s website, Mr. Bing-Yi Yang immigrated to Taiwan and opened a shop selling cooking oil. He named the shop Din Tai Fung. He and his wife sold dumplings in their shop as well, called Xiao Long Bao (steamed pork soup dumplings). These dumplings became so popular that Mr. Yang “phased out his oil business” and Din Tai Fung became a full-blown restaurant.

Delicious

Reservations can be made NOW on Yelp, and Disney has advised that this is a soft opening, which means there might still be some kinks to work out — so be patient with the employees if you decide to visit right after opening! We also got the chance to get a sneak peek of the merchandise that will be released once this spot opens, and you can check it out here.

Cute!

We’ll be checking Din Tai Fung out and bringing you our full review once it opens. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for all your Disneyland, Disney World, and more needs.
