Din Tai Fung Bringing Soup Dumpling Heaven to Pacific Place Next Year

For all those who worship at the scalding, glutinous altar of the Chinese soup dumpling, or xiao long bao, here's some incredibly delicious news: Din Tai Fung, the Taiwan-based dumpling restaurant, is opening a location in the Pacific Place shopping mall downtown. Seattle Met broke the news yesterday.

The new location will mark the chain's third in the region; they have one in the University Village and one in Bellevue. The other two locations are hideously popular, so it wouldn't come as a surprise if this new one were to follow suit. Look for the opening to come in summer 2016, says Seattle Met.
