Din Tai Fung Covent Garden - (Near Westminster, South East)

5 /5 Adi Harneja: We had a fantastic visit to Din Tai Fung in Covent Garden. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The hot and sour chili soup was a standout. It was hot, comforting, and even better when paired with their signature spicy sauce. The crispy chicken and vegetable wontons were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and we also loved the vegetable jiao zi, chicken dumplings, and chicken gyoza. The string beans with garlic were incredibly tasty as well. We finished our meal with the chocolate mochi and sea salt caramel dessert, the perfect sweet ending. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a lovely dining experience!

5 /5 daniel G: Din Tai Fung in London is very well located, in a colorful area full of lights that creates a great atmosphere from the moment you arrive. When we got there, we realized our reservation was made for a different day, but the host handled the situation in a very kind and professional way and was able to accommodate us without any issue. The restaurant is large, spacious, and very well organized. It is amazing to see the dumpling making area through glass, which adds a lot to the experience and gives great confidence in the quality and care behind the food. Our server was very attentive throughout the meal, and the food was absolutely delicious. Trying the soup dumplings was a standout moment, they were impressive and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the chocolate dumplings at the end were simply exquisite. A restaurant that perfectly combines location, service, experience, and outstanding food. Highly recommended.

5 /5 Jay Sullivan: I stopped in for lunch with friends - it was a really relaxed experience, the food and conversation flowed - and it was a delicious meal. If you’re in Covent Garden area and want something reliably excellent that feels fresh, fast, flavourful and reasonably priced - this is absolutely the spot. We ordered a spread that covered all the classics: Beef Xiao Long Bao, Pork Buns, Crispy Prawn Pancake, Prawn & Egg Fried Rice, String Beans with garlic, and the Signature Pork Chop, plus a few drinks including a few of the house beers and the lemongrass iced teas. Everything hit the mark. The flavours were clean and balanced, never heavy, and served piping hot. The dishes came out quickly but never felt rushed, which is exactly what you want at lunchtime. The standout for me was how consistently good everything was. There were no weak plates, just solid, simple food done really well. We were originally just going to head in and hit some dumplings, but changed our mind as we perused the menu, and glad we did. It was a satisfying lunch, you can go light and skip out of there, or fill up and roll out. I guess I sort of went with the latter option, even trying one of the Custard Lava Buns, which was a good time. The service was warm and efficient, and despite being busy, our server kept everything moving smoothly for us. This is a place you can head and enjoy a catch-up with friends, visitors, or colleagues. Din Tai Fung is an easy recommendation. I’d absolutely go again, and next time I’m confident that I can order all the things I didn’t get this time.

5 /5 Liel Kozokin: We ate at Din Tai Fung and ord dumplings and buns. They were very tasty. The bun was very light and airy, with high-quality meat that was well seasoned. The dumplings were just as good — with juicy meat, and each bite also contained a bit of soup. In addition, we were served a side of sliced ginger with soy sauce and vinegar. The service was fast and courteous, and the staff were friendly and smiling. There is also an option to order the dishes directly from your phone after scanning a QR code located on the table. The restaurant has two floors, so it is highly recommended to make a reservation in advance. There is also an open kitchen where you can watch the dishes being prepared by hand, which is very fascinating.
