The award-winning Taiwan based restaurant currently has 82 locations including in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Korea, as well as three U.S. locations closer to home, in Arcadia, Glendale, and Seattle. Din Tai Fung, so beloved by loyal fans, ranked higher than McDonald’s and Starbucks on a list of "best franchises for travelers" published by CNN Travel last fall.
