A few months ago, it was reported that a group of steakhouses had shuttered one of its Boston locations and that a Taiwanese chain known in part for its award-winning soup dumplings could be moving into its space, and we have now confirmed that it is indeed looking to open there.<\/p>\n
According to a licensing board hearing page within the city’s website, Din Tai Fung is planning to open at the Prudential Center in the Back Bay, taking over the space where Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse has been until closing in July. The notice mentions that the proposed restaurant would have multiple dining areas, a bar with seating for 12, and a takeout area, along with a seasonal patio. Din Tai Fung opened its first restaurant in Taipei in 1974, having transitioned from a cooking oil business that dates back to the 1950s; Forbes once posted an article saying that they had “The World’s Greatest Dumplings.”<\/p>\n
Currently, a handful of locations of Din Tai Fung can be found in the United States, including one in Midtown Manhattan. The website for all U.S. locations is at\u00a0https:\/\/dtf.com\/en-us<\/p>\n
