Signature pan fried dumplings 12 pieces for $12.00 was too oily and bottom wasn't crispy. Had the pork chop rice with pork belly- it was minced pork... Really wanted to like this place. Overall, a big FAIL. read more

I thought it was decent. I'd eat here if I was shopping at the mall. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to eat here though. We got two lunch combos, and I actually found I liked the steamed dumplings better than the fried. They did run out of the kimchi potstickers that day though. read more

Best mall food at the food court. I'm not a food court type of gal but I have an 12 year old and it is the thing to do when we are at the mall. I'm pleasantly surprised on how good the noodles and pork chop combo is. If you are going to eat here try this place. read more

Ordered pork chop with minced pork rice bowl. It was OK, the aftermath was horrendous. My stomach is in knots. Won't go into more detail but I feel like dying right now read more

Delivery was amazing food was delicious 10/10 recommend and love the dipping sauces food was even better warmed up

I thought maybe the quality of the food at this foodcourt location won't be as good as the standalone locations but the food here is just as good. Dumplings are fried to order. And I just like their hot & sour soup so much! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - Brea, California

This store is pretty bad compared to other locations. The cashier was pretty rude to us and the food is not as good as other locations. The sesame noodle that we got was stiff and subpar to the other locations. read more

Bafang overall is pretty good. They're fast, clean, and you can order ahead of time online. I've had their dumplings, corn soup, dry noodles, beef noodle soup, and frozen dumplings before. Their beef noodle soup is reasonably portioned and taste is more Taiwanese and pretty good. You don't feel like you've slurped down a ton of chemicals and oils. It's hard to come by a beef noodle soup that is better than mediocre nowadays. read more

Bafang Dumplings changes the perception of what's "mall food" is like and offers something different from your normal pizza or greasy snack fix. Their location is nestled in the middle of the Brea Mall food court with plenty of seating to eat your meal after you're done with your shopping! The menu is fairly straightforward and offers a variety of different combos. I chose Combo 2 which came with their Signature Potstickers and Signature Noodles. The total was about $13 which is reasonable given the amount of food you get. It took 5-10 minutes to get my food since the noodles seem to be made fresh. I was very satisfied with my meal -- the potstickers were nice and crispy while the noodles had a peanut butter base with a savory taste. Will definitely be back to try the rest of their offerings! I like how they offer frozen dumplings to take home to prepare. read more

Not authentic . Pork chop tasted weirdly soft . Felt like fake meat or roasted fish texture. I'm glad I tried it so now I know to not eat here at the mall. I had to dip into their soy sauce for any flavor read more

Exciting news, foodies! BaFang Dumplings is now open at Brea Mall inside food court, serving up irresistibly yummy dumplings and potstickers! Dive into a bowl of old-fashioned noodles that'll transport you straight to flavor heaven. The old fashioned noodles a little bit too salty for me. The potstickers and pork chop are both delicious!! Service was fast and easy. The ambiance is the food court with lots seatings. Free parking at the Brea Mall. read more

The best food court food ever!! Honestly a must try. So glad I waited in line for this spot. They are a Taiwanese dumpling company and the dumplings are top tier. I grew up eating Taiwanese Dumplings and these are not only authentic, they have fresh noodles and pork tender/juicy pork chops. The signature dumplings and pot stickers were perfectly cooked and super juicy. You can also just taste the freshness and it feels super healthy- not greasy or heavy. The pork chops are a must try too!! All in all well worth the wait. read more

So excited to hear they opened one in Brea Mall! It makes for a perfect snack during a shopping trip. COMBO #2 (6 Dumplings + Noodles) -the dumplings were good but not crispy -I liked the peanut buttery sauce but it was too spicy for me -good chewy noodle texture though! I would try their other menu items next time! read more

Always reliable potstickers - the kimchee flavor is our favorite. We also like their noodles and the sweet and sour soup always covers my cravings. Deserves more credit than it gets and great for takeout! read more

I'm so excited this place is coming to Irvine. We stumbled upon this Taiwanese joint inside the brea food court and of course, I had to pay homage to my people! My friend and I shared the #2, there's 3 combos I believe. We paid $14 to share dumplings and noodles which are decent size, but not filling if you're sharing. We were so surprised by the quality of the food. The noodles are sesame noodles and you can tell they're hand-pulled. The dumplings were pan fried but so soft at the same time. They came with 2 sauces, a spicy one and a garlic. 5 stars on the food. read more

I've been looking forward to trying bafang and it did not disappoint! For $13 you can get 6 potstickers and a nice sized bowl of noodles! Although none of the food blew me away I thought everything I had was tasty and was great quality for mall food (especially for the price). The potstickers had good flavor and went well with their sauces but they could be a bit more crispy. The noodles were really nice and chewy and had great sauces! Service was quick and we got our food in about 10 minutes. The worker was nice and explained their menu to us when we asked. Overall a great addition to brea mall and I would recommend people give it a try! read more

Good noodles and delicious dumplings. I got the original noodles, I liked them. But the pork and kimchi dumplings were amazing! I want to get a bigger order next time and try all the rest. I enjoy spicy and they had a tiny kick, nothing crazy. Oyster sauce was also good. The people were really nice as well. I first tried it close to Christmas on their opening day. And I like how the place looks as well. It's been empty for as long as I can remember, I'm glad it was like another burger place or something and I'm glad they went with noodles. I'll come back to the mall just to have these noodles again. read more

Delicious! Came to the mall to shop with my wife and we wanted a snack. Well, she opted for Mongolian and I tried this spot that I was eyeing last visit to the mall. The spicy wonton are delicious. Flavorful. Actually spicy. I also had the kimchi and pork potstickers. Perfect amount of both main ingredients and love the crispy bottom. The cashier was friendly and the food was ready within ten minutes so rather quick. This place is in the mall food court so depending on the day, it's bustling and can get loud. Not that I mind. My two servings were just over $12 and a great snack. I'd come back for their other stuff read more

I got the Bafang Signature and my friend got the Veggy Dumplings. Both very bland. We both got a bunch of sauces to make them more flavorful but even then it was still bland. The chili sauce kinda tasted sweet like tajin. My friend was very hungry but it still tasted bland. Hunger usually makes things taste better but it didn't do much. read more

For the brand name is well known in Taiwan. However, today first time at the Brea location, the size of each dumpling pot was much smaller than it was used to be. The soup hot and sour was tasty. Other than that nothing special. The front kitchen area does not look appealing. I will not come back to this location again. read more

The dumpling were mediocre and pretty bland. The sauces were very watered down, even the vinegar and chili sauce. Everything lacked flavor. Surprisingly, the worst of it was the service. I would recommend skipping this spot. read more

It takes awhile for them to make your food, but it's worth the wait. My favorite dish is the signature noodles. It's nutty, spicy, and savory. If you like dan dan noodles then you will like this dish because it has a similar flavor profile. I also got the signature dumplings with pork and cabbage in them but those were ok. The texture was good because of the crisp fry on the bottom of the dumplings but the flavor itself fell flat. It was still juicy I just felt like it was kind of bland. Even though I wouldn't get the dumplings again I would highly recommend the signature noodles! read more

Located inside the Brea Mall in the food court, a new great Taiwanese option. The noodles look amazing but the signature noodle has some thick coating that can be off putting for those that struggle with texture. The original noodle was great. Definitely wishing for more. Side note, the mongolian style noodles that are in every mall smells good, looks good, but always lacks flavor. these noodles are a great alternative to that. The dumplings and potstickers were good quality especially for fast food mall food court style lol. The pork chop needs a little salt but tasty. The fried chicken was boneless which i appreciate and the sauce that it came with was 10/10. the other sauces you can get were 2/5. Not a fan but to each their own. overall, a great option for food court at the mall without paying an arm and a leg for Din Tai Fung etc. read more

Went there for lunch, ordered a mini wonton soup and signature dumpling; there was only 2 customers in front of me and I had to wait over 15 mins for my food... The most unbelievable thing is what I saw during the wait. There was a Chinese lady who came out from the kitchen, without gloves and used her BARE hand grabbed the frozen dumplings into the pot for cooking. And right after she used again her bare hands grabbed a handful of noodles into the pot for cooking! I was speechless when I saw the sense... read more

This is in the Brea Mall food court! My friend and I wandered around for a while trying to look for the restaurant, but had to look at Yelp to find out it's in the food court. It was perfect because I was worried about my baby crying in a restaurant. Yummy food and perfect service! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Dumplings, noodles, pork, spicy wonton - Taiwanese Near Me - Brea, California

Don't go to this location, the Bafang Dumpling in Brea mall has a limited menu and there's no sauce bar. Everything is not easy access. And they constantly run out of things. I bought a corn soup and while waiting for my food, they said they ran out... had to find another alternative. The food is as expected to other Bafangs - but do yourself a favor and go to other standalone location, not the one located in Brea mall. read more

This is a great new edition for the food court in Brea mall. I highly recommend the potstickers ( pan-fried dumplings ) and the wonton soup. But everything is also good. read more

Tried the #2 combo 6 signature pot stickers and signature noodles. And they were so good! The pot stickers seemed to be pork and cabbage, and the noodles had a peanut sauce on them that was amazing. The service was great, we got or order taken right away, and it only took a few mins for the food to be ready. Can't wait to go back and try other items off the menu read more

After shopping, we found Bafang dumpling at the food court. We ordered No1 combo which is signature pot stickers with large soda. It takes about 8 mins for the order to be ready. The pot stickers are flavorful and fresh but not crispy enough. read more

Hungry while walking around window shopping at the Cerritos mall, potsticker was all on my mind so I went in and tried it. $12.05 for their signature potsticker very tasty and you can make your own sauce. Service was quick and the facility is new and clean. They have take away back take out also by the selection is not great nevertheless I will go there again and try it out! read more

Bafang has opened a few locations in Southern California. This location is in the food court area in Brea Mall. Their menu is a bit limited, but sometimes, you don't need too many options. For dumplings, you can either choose the steamed or pan-fried option. Pan-fried will yield a crispier crust, but steamed dumplings are a classic. Personally, you can't go wrong with either option. Make sure to eat the dumplings as soon as you receive them as they taste better fresh. The flavors here taste more authentic. Overall, the dumplings are good. Just expect them to be a bit on the pricier side as is everything with inflation. read more

Delicious pot stickers and dumplings! Love the pork chop and noodles as well. This is a famous eatery in Taiwan. They also have frozen dumplings for sale so we can have the dumplings at home. read more

Was excited to see a dumpling place at the mall food court but what can I really expect the food quality. Food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing, I got the potstickers and the pork chop for $14 and some change. Not terrible pricing but I could get a lot more food and cheaper at the teriyaki place across. The potstickers tasted like frozen ones and not freshly made, the pork chop was fry fresh to order so I waited about 15 min for the food. Overall if you happened to be at the mall and craving dumplings then give it a try but don't expect anything to be special. read more

The dumpling was ok. Seems like any dumpling place but pretty on the high side. I will try them once again and post pictures.

This! What a find at the food court at Brea Mall of all places. Potstickers, noodles dumplings on the menu. I had the number 2, 6 potstickers with noodles. Prepared by a friendly, energetic staff eager to please. Good quality served fresh, hot and savory.$16.50 with drink may be a bit pricy for some and food court noise can be off putting. This food court has come along way from hot dog on a stick! Finally a reason to go to the mall again. read more

Food was very good for being in a mall!! Service was also quick and easy. The pricing was cheap as well. The ambiance of the mall wasn't too crowded for being a Friday afternoon, overall good food and good service. My favorite was the Kimchi & Pork Pot Stickers! read more

I heard about this place through tiktok and I had some expectations. This place is literally expensive white washed asian food. Would not come back read more

Located in the food court in the mall. Lots of seating. I wasn't planning on eating dumplings, but decided to try this place since I happened to be there. Tried the signature dumplings and it was definitely worth it. The workers were preparing many take-out orders, so it took a while for me to get my order. These dumplings were tasty and affordable. Six dumplings for $5.75 not including tax. You can also order online at bafangdumpling.com I'll try their other dumplings next time. read more
