Din Tai Fung, the famed upscale Taiwanese restaurant chain, will start construction on its second location in the Phoenix area, even before the first one opens.

Macerich, the real estate investment trust that owns and operates seven large malls and shopping centers in the Valley, announced Wednesday that it has leased a large restaurant space to Din Tai Fung at Chandler Fashion Center as part of the mall’s major renovation to the open-air district on its south side.

Din Tai Fung, which was founded in Taiwan in 1958 and specializes in soup dumplings and noodles, is currently constructing its first Arizona location in Scottsdale, at the Macerich-owned Scottsdale Fashion Square. Work on the Chandler location is expected to start in January, and the restaurant should be open in 2027.
