Din Tai Fung is the globally renowned Taiwanese dumpling chain whose Lincoln Square restaurant, opened in 2010, was the first location in the Pacific Northwest and only the second in the United States at the time. It debuted to enormous lines and quickly became one of Bellevue's signature dining draws.

The restaurant is celebrated for its precisely pleated xiao long bao (soup dumplings), made to exacting specifications, along with noodles, fried rice and greens. Its open kitchens let diners watch teams hand-fold dumplings.

In 2024 the Bellevue restaurant relocated within Lincoln Square to a larger ground-floor space roughly twice the size of the original, cementing its status as a downtown Bellevue anchor within The Bellevue Collection.
