The Build

Custom Millwork for Din Tai Fung, Scottsdale

When the world-famous Taiwanese dumpling house Din Tai Fung opened at Scottsdale Fashion Square, Lion Craft fabricated the architectural custom millwork that shapes the arrival experience — the host stand, fluted white-oak service counters, slatted wood screens, and the radiused ceiling detail that carries the brand’s warm, refined material palette. Every element was engineered into shop drawings, built in our Phoenix facility, and installed on site by our own crew.

As a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant concept, the space had to look immaculate and survive relentless daily service. We detailed the casework in durable, food-service-ready finishes and coordinated the woodwork with the metal, stone, and lighting around it — the advantage of building every trade under one roof.

FAQ

Custom Restaurant Fabrication, Answered

What did Lion Craft build for Din Tai Fung in Scottsdale?

We fabricated the custom architectural millwork for the space — host stand, service counters, wood-slat screens, and feature ceiling details — all designed, built in our Phoenix shop, and installed on site. Explore our full millwork capabilities.

Do you fabricate custom furniture and millwork for restaurants nationwide?

Yes. We’re based in Phoenix, Arizona and design, build, and install restaurant furniture and millwork for concepts across the country — from single locations to multi-unit rollouts — managing every trade in-house for consistency and schedule control.

How long does custom restaurant millwork take to fabricate?

Timelines depend on scope, but a typical restaurant package moves through design, engineered shop drawings, fabrication, finishing, and installation over several weeks. Because millwork, metal, stone, and upholstery are all built under one roof, we compress the schedule and hit opening dates. Request an estimate for a project-specific timeline.
