Ding Hao Zi Lin

Ding Hao Zi Lin is a dumpling shop inside a basement food court in Taipei, serving steamed dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, and beef noodles. The steamed dumplings have thick, chewy wrappers filled with ginger-scented meat, and the pan-fried dumplings come out crisp. Orders are placed by checking items on a menu sheet and handing it to staff, and diners mix their own soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil at the sauce bar. The wait was about 20 minutes at 6 p.m., while lunch and dinner waits run over 30 minutes.
