Brooklyn is about to get a major culinary upgrade: Din Tai Fung, the world-famous Taiwanese eatery known for its soup dumplings and meticulously crafted menu, is officially opening its first location in the borough.
The 20,000-square-foot space will occupy the ground floor of The Brook, a brand-new 52-story luxury residential tower at 567 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, just off Flatbush Avenue.
Set to open in 2027, the Brooklyn outpost marks the second New York City location for Din Tai Fung following its Midtown Manhattan debut in 2024.
That first location instantly became the city’s go-to spot for Taiwanese soup dumplings, with long lines and sold-out tables drawing foodies from across the city.
The Brooklyn branch will be slightly smaller than its Times Square sibling but promises the same signature dishes that made Din Tai Fung a global sensation: xiao long bao, garlicky string beans, wontons, truffle-infused dumplings, and a rotating roster of unique seasonal offerings.
While specific menu items for Brooklyn haven’t been announced, fans can likely expect new twists alongside classic crowd favorites!
Founded in Taipei in 1958 by Yang Bing Yi as a humble cooking oil shop, it transitioned to a full-fledged restaurant in 1972 after the couple began making soup dumplings.
Today, Din Tai Fung operates over 170 locations across 14 countries and has earned Michelin accolades for its perfectly folded, “golden ratio” dumplings—a labor of love that takes 18 folds per xiao long bao.
The restaurant’s move to Downtown Brooklyn is also a milestone for the neighborhood, which has seen a surge in luxury residential development and foodie destinations over the past decade.
The Brook offers 591 rental units alongside retail and amenity spaces, and Din Tai Fung will join the building as one of the anchor tenants, bringing international culinary clout to this rapidly evolving corner of Brooklyn.
And while we patiently count down the days to 2027, the Manhattan location remains open and continues to be the perfect pitstop for anyone craving a taste of Din Tai Fung magic (until it makes its way across the East River).
