Din Tai Fung, multiple locations
Taiwan-based dumpling chain Din Tai Fung is best known for two things: its famous signature soup dumplings and the long lines to get them. To ease the wait, each restaurant offers a viewing area where customers can watch the legendary dumplings being made. Din Tai Fung employees are carefully trained (training takes about two years) so that each dumpling receives exactly 18 pleats, ensuring consistency — and a mesmerizing process to watch.
