The arrival brings a dish that many locals clamoring for an outpost of Din Tai Fung will relish β house-made xiao long bao. The soup dumplings star on the menu alongside a variety of steamed and fried bao, not least fresh-made noodles. I would love to report on this one and will. That said, my first attempt to visit was greeted by an overflowing lobby, and ultimately too long of a wait to snag a table.
I did manage to snap the above pic of the dim sum prep kitchen hard at work during our wait, watching the bao and noodle action first-hand; and also spying order after order of fried pork strung elaborately from a display tower of sorts leave the kitchen. If you do stop by, take note that the crowds have seemingly already found this one. Open daily for breakfast and lunch from 8.
East-coast flavors are the muse for a lineup of nearly a dozen subs such as a chicken park, Philly cheesesteak, and Italian beef. Now open in Orem E University Pkw is the first Utah location for this superstar chef-backed brand. More dumplings, and ones with a distinctly South Asian flavor profile.

Open now in SLC State St this new pie shop that also lists salads, subs, calzones, and wings on its menus. The Sonora-inspired menu is an expansive one covering a lot of ground.

Expanding on their original Taylorsville location, this burger business have now opened a unit in Layton N Hill Field Rd.
