According to Din Tai Fung owner David Wasielewski, a Taiwanese immigrant, Toronto's Ding Tai Fung is not a part of the Taiwanese chain, although the restaurant's name has the same Chinese characters. The only difference is the English translation - the “fake” one is spelled Ding, the chain leaves off the “g.”
Which is the original Din Tai Fung? Taipei The original restaurant is on Xinyi Road in Taipei and the shop sign was a calligraphic work of the then Control Yuan president Yu Youren. In 1996, the first international location opened in Tokyo, and the first North American store opened in Arcadia, California, in 2000.

never been there
IMO better than Market Village ever was. The food court has a good variety of different Asian foods.
That’s after the Times Square
was opened.
Parking is a nightmare
Ding Tai Fung? That’s a fake one lol
