Din Tai Fung brings iconic dumplings to Santa Monica this February

Famed Taiwanese dumpling house Din Tai Fung is expanding once again, bringing its world-renowned xiao long bao to Santa Monica Place on February 28. The new 10,000-square-foot restaurant will feature indoor-outdoor seating and a coastal patio with ocean views, marking a striking evolution for the brand.

This will be Din Tai Fung’s fifth Los Angeles County location, continuing its decades-long expansion across the West Coast and beyond. From its humble beginnings in the San Gabriel Valley, the beloved dumpling empire now spans multiple states, with some locations, including its Disneyland outpost, selling over 10,000 dumplings per day.
