DIN TAI FUNG

Din Tai Fung is the celebrity of dumplings, but with a few paparazzi moments you wish you could avoid. The food is consistently good with a location that screams 'Instagram me.' The beef Xiao Long Bao and pork buns are basically reasons to quit your diet. The service is fast, and the vibes scream 'let's grab dinner before a show.'

But don't get too comfy; some diners noted that the staff can be a bit too eager to free up your table. It’s like they’re timing your meal for a grand finale. Just remember, it’s all fun and games until you’re elbow-deep in dumplings and someone asks if you’re done for the night. So, if you're in Covent Garden and craving dumplings, you're in the right place—just don’t let them rush you.
