Din Tai Fung at Westfield UTC is about precision and repetition, the small miracles of soup trapped in paper-thin skins. Steam puffs rise from bamboo baskets as servers slide trays with military calm. The Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao arrives taut, the broth bold enough to make you pay attention. Plates of Shrimp and Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons snap with chile, shrimp fried rice is exactly what you want after too many dumplings, and dessert can be a mischievous Chocolate and Mochi Xiao Long Bao. It is bright, bustling and insistently efficient, not precious. Families with strollers rub shoulders with couples and students. Staff will show you how to build the perfect dipping sauce and set a silicone plate for a toddler without you asking. Notice the stroller parking in the exterior lobby before you sit down.
