Restaurants Galore at Century City Mall in 2017

With the Westfield Century City mall slated to reopen bigger and better than ever in 2017, some of the most anticipated openings are the food offerings that will be available. From restaurants, to bars and chocolate stores, there are a myriad of places where you’ll be able to grab a quick bite or linger over a leisurely meal at the Westfield Century City Mall in 2017.

Throughout the mall’s renovations, Century City-Westwood News has been keeping readers abreast of which new eateries are headed the mall’s way, including Mario Batali’s Eataly, Javier’s Mexican Restaurant, and Shake Shack.

However, we’ve taken the opportunity to include some of the places that haven’t yet been mentioned, so make sure to add them to your list of places to dine at Westfield Century City Mall in 2017.

One of the most exciting new additions to the mall in January will be Din Tai Fung, a Taiwanese restaurant renowned for its delicious soup dumplings. Zagat calls the dumplings “little morsels of heaven.” People have been known to wait up to four hours to grab a seat at this renowned eatery. Din Tai Fung already has locations at the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, and in Santa Clara, Torrance, Glendale and Arcadia. Come January, they’ll finally be on the Westside.
