Popular Restaurant Din Tai Fung To Open In Downtown Disney

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A new restaurant is opening its doors in Downtown Disney, after Din Tai Fung announced that it would be holding its soft opening on June 24.

The restaurant will offer a limited menu during the soft opening, which runs from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, according to officials with Din Tai Fung. Reservations for the soft opening can be made online and are necessary to dine.

The official grand opening is slated for July.

The global restaurant is known for its Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and noodles, and the Downtown Disney location will be the first stand-alone restaurant at Disney's outdoor shopping and dining district.

"The new restaurant’s exterior is a dramatic, contemporary take on a traditional Chinese pavilion rooftop structure. A suspended, beaded installation over the circular central bar greets guests upon entering the restaurant, with traditional-style Chinese pendants softly illuminating the space. An expo kitchen will serve as a backdrop, inviting guests to witness the artistry behind the dumpling-making process firsthand," a Disney Parks Blog said.

The new location will open at 1547 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim come July, restaurant officials said.
