The Verdict
I have been always attracted by the hype of Din Tai Fug and the long queues waiting to enter when it was only in Emirates Mall. This restaurant was founded in Taiwan in 1972 and is famous for Chinese dumplings. My view is that it is overrated. The Corn soup was too much on the sweet side. The dumplings were average at best and seemed to have been microwave heated after coming out of the freezer. The fried rice and sweet-and-sour chicken were both good.Service was very well organised.
