Downtown Disney’s #1 Restaurant? We Put It to the Test

Hey, what’s up guys! 👋 It’s Robin, your favorite Disney Noob, and today we’re celebrating Lunar New Year the best way possible… with DUMPLINGS 🥟🔥 We’re heading to Din Tai Fung at Downtown Disney District — one of the most popular restaurants in the area — and I haven’t been here in YEARS. Ever since it opened, it’s had a nonstop line. So the big question is… is it still worth the hype? We’re trying: 🥟 The iconic Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) 🍤 Shrimp Fried Rice 🥢 Shanghai Rice Cakes with Shrimp 🥟 Handmade Shrimp & Pork Dumplings And of course… chili oil, ginger, and all the sauce combos I break down the history of xiao long bao (did you know it literally means “small basket bun”? 👀), show you the proper way to eat soup dumplings, and give honest A-to-B grades on everything we try. Plus — we’re doing it family-style. The boys weigh in with their favorites, we test the kid-friendly setup (including those suction cup plates 😂), and yes… we even had a milk emergency and found a parent hack at Parkside Market. ⚠️ Heads up: No Magic Key discounts No Disney gift cards accepted Best time to go? Weekday at opening If you’re looking for a real, quality Asian meal outside the parks — especially during Lunar New Year — this might be your move. Was it worth the wait? Is it still an A-tier spot?
