The post type is: dining

Taxonomy is: dining-category

For anyone who doesn't know where to get the taxonomy, then you can click on the categories of your custom post type, then you can get the taxonomy from the URL, for example, http://localhost/site/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=product_cat&tag_ID=18&post_type=product. From this URL, you can see my taxonomy is product_cat use that and replace it with dining-category from OP.

The following is the code to list all categories from a specific custom post type as per the asked question:

$args = array(
        'post_type'   =>'dining',
        'taxonomy' => 'dining-category',
        'orderby'                  => 'name',
        'order'                    => 'ASC',
        'hide_empty'               => false,
   );
       $categories = get_categories($args);
       echo '<ul>';

       foreach ($categories as $category) {
         $url = get_term_link($category);?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $category->name; ?></a></li>
         <?php
       }
       echo '</ul>';

    <?php
       $args = array(
       'type'                     => 'dining',
       'child_of'                 => 0,
       'parent'                   => '',
       'orderby'                  => 'name',
       'order'                    => 'ASC',
       'hide_empty'               => 1,
       'hierarchical'             => 1,
       'taxonomy'                 => 'dining-category',
       'pad_counts'               => false );
       $categories = get_categories($args);
       echo '<ul>';

       foreach ($categories as $category) {
         $url = get_term_link($category);?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $category->name; ?></a></li>
         <?php
       }
       echo '</ul>';
   ?>

If category not assigned any post it will not show. therefore assign any post. This code running perfectly.

In WordPress 4.6 get_terms is deprecated. So there is an alternate of this (get_categories) Read this

And here is Example code:

<?php
   $args = array(
               'taxonomy' => 'dining-category',
               'orderby' => 'name',
               'order'   => 'ASC'
           );

   $cats = get_categories($args);

   foreach($cats as $cat) {
?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_category_link( $cat->term_id ) ?>">
           <?php echo $cat->name; ?>
      </a>
<?php
   }
?>

Hope this will help you.

use get_terms() function to fetch custom taxonomy by its slug, in your case slug is dining-category. read function refrence from wordpress codex website and try this.
