What Does It Mean?[edit]

What does "Din Tai Fung" mean in English? Does anybody know? I came to this article expecting to find out, but it doesn't say. Chinese speakers/readers, please help! VaneWimsey 03:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

鼎泰豐 - I'm not sure if the characters have any meaning together, but individually -- 鼎: a type of cooking cauldron, 泰: peaceful -- 豐: abundant. Jbradfor (talk) 20:12, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Din Tai Fung isn't exactly supposed to have a meaning, as it's name is derived from the founder's name. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 23:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancies between English and Chinese version[edit]

Just pointing out, there are some pretty serious discrepancies between the English and Chinese version......

The Chinese version claims that the owner let some old soldier set up a stand in front of his shop, and thats where he learned it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.168.170 (talk) 07:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Close paraphrasing[edit]

This article includes close paraphrasing of the "about" sections of the global and US official websites. —DoRD (talk) 21:24, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies[edit]

I rolled back a what was supposed to be a good faith edit in error, instead marking it as (VANDAL). I apologise to the user who made that contribution. Z10987 (talk) 01:54, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent timeline[edit]

They soon opened another restaurant in Taipei 101.

There's no citation for this, and it's placed between paragraphs talking about 1970 and 1996. However, talks of building Taipei 101 didn't even begin until 1997, and it didn't open until 2004, so the timing seems inconsistent. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent line in the Chinese article. SheepTester (talk) 19:22, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the war is over![edit]

why does a chain from taiwan have katakana pronunciation on their sign?! are they trying to convince customers that they're a japanese chain? or that they're 2-3x older than they actually are, i.e. from the japanese occupation era (pre-WWII)?

even the US branches have this on the sign! makes no sense!! 2601:19C:527F:A660:D99B:962D:3F02:8816 (talk) 03:38, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources[edit]

There are a lot of Primary source inline template tags scattered around the article, but they are often marking non-controversial claims about themselves, which means that a primary source should be okay. These tags should be removed, no? BhamBoi (talk) 08:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
