Since its founding, DTF has become synonymous with quality and consistency and known for its warm hospitality and delicacies with authentic flavors.

Eric Law’s journey is a reflection of what’s possible when you lead with perseverance, self-awareness, and a drive to grow.💫 He began his Din Tai Fung career in 2014 as a busser at our original Arcadia location. From there, Eric took on every front-of-house role: runner, server, bartender, trainer, and eventually joined the management team in 2017. With each new opportunity, he stepped outside of his comfort zone, eager to take on more and continue learning. Step by step, Eric advanced and now serves as our Area Front of House Manager, overseeing five restaurants: Arcadia, Century City, Glendale, Manhattan, and Santa Monica. "I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t push myself to grow, learn more, and take on new responsibilities." He also reflects daily: “Ask yourself if all the decisions you made today align with our mission and values.” Eric’s story is a reminder that growth takes self-reflection, a willingness to improve, and the courage to step outside of your comfort zone.👏...Show more

Featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal, the story of Din Tai Fung in North America is one of legacy, discipline, and generational dedication.✨ Co-CEOs Aaron and Albert Yang—the third generation of the founding family—grew up in the Arcadia restaurant, running credit cards at age seven and folding dumplings by twelve. Today, they lead the business with the same values passed down from their parents and grandfather: quality, consistency, and care. “Our priority is not to make the most money and open as many stores as we can,” Albert said. “We want to open as many stores as we can while maintaining our quality standards, and we’re just unwilling to expand too fast, where we’re compromising that quality.” From Santa Monica to New York City to Vancouver, every new opening is a reflection of that commitment—a heritage of discipline and detail brought to life through thoughtful growth, rigorous team training, and a shared dedication to the guest experience.🥟 Read the full feature on the Yang brothers and their leadership journey: https://lnkd.in/gxRXzbTY...Show more
