Din Tai Fung, Westfield Sydney


Who doesn’t love dumplings? Caitlin. But we went anyway.


Shrimp & Pork Wonton $6.5
I had heard great things about these slippery little suckers floating in a spicy sauce. They did not disappoint.

Steamed Pork Dumpling Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs) $5.8
Perfectly crafted pascals filled with pork and soup.

Steamed Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai (4 pcs) $9.8
Although almost double the price of the xiao long bao these are defiantly worth a try.

Pork bun $2.8
Not the best. Resembles more of a meatball in a bun then the pork buns I’m used to.


Three hours later with Din Tai Fung dumpling bar still on the mind we returned once more for round two.

Spicy Sesame Noodle (Dan Dan Noodle) $10.8
With a strong taste of sesame oil and satay this dish was good but needed some wontons or tofu to jazz it up.

Shrimp & Pork Wonton Noodle with Spicy Sauce $11
Couldn’t resist trying this after the wontons we had earlier were so incredible. I added some soy/vinegar and chilli. The fresh noodles absorbed the flavoursome spicy sauce. So good I couldn’t help but drink the remaining liquid. Also resulted in me choking on the chilli but it was totally worth it.

Ding Tai Fung is worth checking out if you find yourself craving dumplings whilst shopping. Beware the queues do get long during the lunch rush. However, they do offer a ordering card. Simply tick your choices on the card and hand it to the cashier. Although Ding Tai Fung isn’t great value for money ill defiantly be back for more wontons.

Rating 7/10
