As the chart below shows, Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) has emerged as the top-performing restaurant in the United States (US) in terms of revenue per store, according to the 2025 Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report. Founded in 1958 in Taiwan as a cooking oil business, Din Tai Fung began selling *xiao long bao* in 1972 in Taipei. About 25 years later, it opened its first American branch store in Los Angeles. Over the years, it has expanded to 180 branch stores in 13 countries around the world. Din Tai Fung’s success was not achieved through expensive ads. Instead, the restaurant chain has built its brand on global consistent product excellence, operational discipline, and social media buzz. Whether in Los Angeles or Taipei, customers experience the same taste and service. Every Din Tai Fung *xiao long bao* is folded exactly 18 times and weighs precisely 21 grams. Through glass walls, customers can see chefs in the kitchen, making *xiao long bao* with exactness and care. The way the chefs make the food, the steam coming off the baskets, and the perfect look of each dish all make for great photos and videos. Customers post the pictures and share their dining experience widely online, giving the brand effective publicity. The consistent quality, combined with visual pleasure and the power of social media, has made Din Tai Fung successful and popular in the US.
