Came here to check out what's everyone raving about and yes, this place was great! I tried the boiled dumplings and since I was still hungry I grabbed what's available on the fridge counter. It's a delicacy trio: tofu, seaweed, and mushrooms. Service was more like you clean-up after yourself type of thing. No servers, only 1 cashier at the counter. Bathroom however could use some attention. When I was there, one of the bathrooms smelled so bad. Overall, it was a good experience and I don't mind coming back. read more

This is a more casual spot that I'd want to revisit because I feel like their menu items could be better than what I tried the time I went. The signature noodles were a great price but kind of just noodles with some sesame sauce. The dumplings and wontons were good though! For the great prices and quick service here, I'd say it's good for a casual meal read more

Bafang Dumpling - signature noodles, wonton soup, potstickers - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Been wanting to try this new spot for dumplings. We went after a late night meeting and the place had a few customers dining in and no wait to order. We were greeted nicely by a staff member and she answered our questions politely. We ordered Combo 2 which came with Signature Dumplings (12pcs) and Wonton soup. We opted to take it home as it was almost closing time. We got home and took out our order but they were missing utensils/napkins and sauce. -1 star for that. I think that should be part of the good service, complete utensils/condiments for take out meals. The dumplings were flavorful, balance of cabbage and pork with a crispy side. We had to use some of our ponzu sauce we had at home for our sauce since they forgot to give us some. Wonton soup had a really delicious smooth, clean broth with a good amount of flavorful pork wontons. We loved it! Would love to try out the other menu items when we come back. read more

Every time I eat Bafang I am very pleased. Both the steamed dumplings and the pan fried ones are delicious. The veggie ones are filled enough and are filling and savory. The chili noodles also have a wonderful QQ texture, taste like hand pulled noodles and leave you satisfied. Food comes out fast and it's a simple ordering process, like fast food but Taiwanese. read more

Really enjoyed this casual spot for dumplings! You can choose from a variety of sets or get frozen dumplings to take home. I got the set with potstickers and hot and sour soup -- both of which were good. The potstickers were light and crispy, so even though the portion looks large, it's light enough that you can finish the whole meal. Lots of seating, a sauce bar you can help yourself to, and decent parking. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Potsticker meal set with hot and sour soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Bafang Dumpling offers fast, convenient and authentic Taiwanese classics (noodle, dumplings and rice bowl). They tasted delicious in a clean, airy fast food environment. The staff were friendly and food came out after they're made to order. Come early or later as parking here can be very challenging. Highly recommended! read more

Overall a solid spot. I heard it's supposed to be like McDonalds in Taiwan in that it's fast-Taiwanese food on the more affordable side. After trying a variety of things, I'd say my consistent go-to are the wonton soup and pan fried pot stickers. The corn chowder was interesting and I'd say beef noodle soup wasn't bad. But in-general I think I wasn't as thrilled about it and their signature dry noodle as I'd hope to be. I think even the pan fried pot stickers could be a bit more friend and crisp for my likings. Parking can be tough and service/ordering is pretty quick. read more

Not good. If you like dumplings, you can visit many other restaurants with a lot better made and tastier food. We ordered multiple items off the menu and they were all like a college freshman made it in the dorm. Staff look like they don't like working there! And ambiance is a 2 also. read more

I was hoping to let this place, but I didn't really like it didn't feel as fresh as I expected. I was hoping for a hole in the wall savory noodle place maybe a little too sweet and not fresh enough the meat smell strange. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Noodles - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Fast food, not very good, sauces boring! Skip go to AJ instead. I don't think there was anything other than pork...more boring!

Bafang recently opened up in Irvine and it's definitely a very convenient spot to grab a quick bite. It was pretty busy when I went on a Monday just before 1p. The food took about 15 minutes to be ready after ordering but I also ordered a lot of food for takeout - other groups got their food much faster. Parking in front was completely full but there's always parking available in the plaza if you're willing to walk. For the food itself, we tried Combo 4 (noodles plus potstickers), a 12pc signature dumplings, a 12pc chicken corn dumplings, a 12pc signature potsticker and a spicy wontons order. Overall the food was solid - I preferred the dumplings to the potstickers, wontons and noodles. Between the chicken corn and signature dumplings, I thought the corn added a nice slight sweetness to the dumpling but still preferred the signature. read more

The parking lot is always busy, but don't let it deter you. The food at Bafang is exceptional and we find ourselves returning again and again! We love the chicken/corn potstickers, crispy chicken (the dipping sauce is AMAZING), and the mala beef noodle soup which adds a twist to the usual Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The noodles are a perfect thickness and chewiness. Highly recommend it! If you're looking for some easy options at home, they also sell frozen dumplings for a quick easy meal. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Mala beef noodle - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Had to visit this newly opened Bafang in Irvine in the corner of Walnut and Jeffrey (99 Ranch plaza). Been to a few others and this one is similar in terms of food offerings and ambience. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, as well as the signature dumpling with a side of hot and sour soup. The skins on the dumplings were light and crunchy, with moderate amount of pork packed inside. The spicy beef noodle soup definitely warms the belly on a cold night, with chunks of beef and plenty of noodles. Service was quick and friendly. Took about 5 or so minutes to wait for my to-go order. There's a designated (somewhat small) lot but plenty of parking around the area. read more

This place is pretty new to the plaza and so I finally gave it try while I was waiting for my car to charge. I got the #4 combo, the signature potstickers and noodles. First off for just over $13 with tax I thought it was a great value. I really liked the potstickers. It had a nice fried crunch on one side. The noodles were decent but lacking a bit in flavor. This was where their self service sauces come in. I highly recommend mixing some their garlic soy sauce and spicy sauce into the noodles, it really changes everything especially if you like spicy food. I will definitely comeback again for the same meal. read more

Bafang Dumpling is a well-known Taiwanese chain, and it does not disappoint. Located in crowded plaza, hard to find parking. Ambience (8/10): Self Serve, clean, limited seating inside. Like many have mentioned, they have a self-serve sauce bar, which is convenient. Food Signature Potstickers (8/10): The potstickers are crunchy and has good flavor. It is definitely decent but does not stand out. Beef Noodle (8/10): If you love tawainese noodle but can not handle the spice, Bafang is a good place to try out. They offer two options, one is regular beef noodle (non spicy) and the other one is mala beef noodle. I personally like the non spicy one better as the mala beef noodle, as it is a bit different than the flavor profile that I am used to. Generous portions, good amount of beef chunks. Price (9/10): Decent price for the portion This place is decent and I can see myself coming back here for a quick Tawainese fix. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Mala beef noodle soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Nice, clean shop, service was good, food came out within 10 minutes. It gets a bit packed in here during lunch when we went, but we still found one table, half of the people had ordered take-out so it made it less busy inside. I have had a lot of this style of potstickers in Asia, especially Taiwan, so I had expected similar, but I found the Bafang potstickers a bit less dense, less meat than I'm used to. The flavor was fine, just not as full and distinct as other places. The sets, which comes with noodles and dumplings, are actually decent value considering what you get. While some people may complain it's expensive, have you looked around Irvine? Some other Asian places charge 25%-50% more than Bafang for less food so I don't consider their prices to be overpriced at all. We ordered the signature potstickers and signature noodles, as well as the hot and sour soup and veggie potstickers. I actually enjoyed the noodles more than the dumplings. Everything was good, not the best I've ever had, but it was delicious and filling. If you're coming during the peak times, it's unlikely you will find a parking space in the dedicated lot, but a lot more spaces in the general lot, especially on the side where 99 Ranch Market is. We're looking to coming back sometime soon. read more

Came a week after it opened to pick up dinner. They have a very straightforward menu, and they obviously specialize in dumplings. I ordered: - Chicken and corn potstickers: not enough meat. Dinky pieces for the price. - Spicy beef noodle soup: again, not enough meat. Broth was OK, I prefer Yummy Noodle or Noodle St's broth. Not the best dumplings and noodle soup I've had, especially at that price point. I would suggest even going to A&J in the plaza across the street if you truly want dumplings or noodle soup. Unfortunately they are part of the plaza with Menya and HeyTea, so yes the parking is terrible. You need to have a ton of patience if you want to park and eat. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Chicken and corn potstickers and spicy beef noodle soup. - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Paid our visit to Bafang for their grand opening week. Service was organized even with the large crowd we got our food relatively quickly. You order at the counter and seat yourself at the open seating. The food was just OK for the price. Beef in the noodle soup was tender but the soup lacked flavor overall. Hot and sour soup was definitely a miss, would not recommend. Fried dumplings were somewhere between crispy and soggy. The new restaurant has its own section for parking - though I'm sure other patrons of the plaza will park there since it's been extremely busy. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Beef noodle soup and fried dumpling combo. Hot and sour soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Bafang is so 大方 (Da Fang) not only when it comes to the quality of the food, but also quantity in the combo deals! Love how they have a variety of options for the potstickers, noodles, soups, and side dishes! Bonus points if you get the Mandarin Pun there ;) I was here during soft opening and while I am sure there may be a few things here and there to improve, operations seem to be fully running there, and I believe even the Bafang owners were getting hands-on in the front end of the store to help clean, serve, and connect with the customers! Who doesn't love a boss that cares? Food came out fairly quickly and everything was tasty. Pork chop was perfectly crispy with good flavors, noodles nice and chewy with just a slight kick in flavors, potstickers with tasty skin and crispy edges, and a corn chowder that was light yet comforting. It isn't a huge spot but seems like most people do buy to-go or have fast service (and this quick turnover) so hopefully wait won't be too crazy. Overall, friendly service in a bustling atmosphere will guarantee to satisfy your taste buds! read more

nice spot, very casual and bustling sort of vibe, which is nice. im a huge sucker for hot & sour. the beef dry noodles i got were alright, but a bit pricey ($16.5 for the combo). and the beef wasnt my absolute favorite, but the noodles were nice and the sauce(?) was light, sweet, and savory. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Beef Dry Noodle - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Bafang Dumpling just opened in a brand-new building that, funny enough, looked like it was going to be a Starbucks before it opened. It's situated right next to 99 ranch, HeyTea, and a newly opened Wingstop. Parking here is a bit tricky--be prepared to park closer to the Chase Bank. When we arrived, the place was bustling, but despite the crowd, the food came out *blazing* fast! We ordered the Bafang Pork Chop, Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, a half-dozen dumplings, and a side of spicy dumplings. We got it to-go and their containers were super high quality. The pork chop was quite good, served with some refreshing cucumber and a generous portion of radish. The beef noodle soup was fantastic--the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles cooked just right, and the beef was tender and delicious. The spicy dumplings, though they didn't look overly packed with chili, had just the right kick. And the dumplings overall? Crispy, juicy, and simply delicious! We didn't notice any rice on the menu, which was a bit surprising, but maybe we missed it. Bafang Dumpling has several locations around Southern California, and after this great experience, we'll definitely be back. Excellent service and food--highly recommend! read more

Ni hao, everybody! You know we love our Asian food, so we had to go to bafang dumpling in Irvine to get our fix this week. It's a fast casual taiwanese dumpling spot, and it's perfect for a quick meal if you've got somewhere to be! Come with us to check it out! Now, their menu is not that big, so it'll be pretty easy to choose what you want. We both went with combos, and they came with a lot of food. Don't forget to stop by the sauce station so you can grab whatever sauce you want. They've got soy sauce, vinegar , and of course chili oil. I got the combo that came with a soup or drink. I chose the corn chowder. It was a creamy, savory, and sweet soup that would be perfect for a cold night. This soup is boiling hot, and it's sure to warm you up as you indulge in your dumplings. Well, I say dumplings, but I mean pot stickers. We'll get to those in a bit. I got the wonton soup combo. It comes with little wontons filled with meat and veg inside. The light broth compliments the Savory wontons so well. If you want that extra protein, get the wonton soup. Okay the main event is clearly these pot stickers. These ridiculous rectangles are seared to a crisp and packed with filling. You won't be disappointed by this. Remember, some of the best food isn't complicated, it's some of the most simple stuff you've ever had. For a fast casual dumpling restaurant, this is incredible value and wonderful eating. It's truly busting~ If you're looking for that special something, look no further than bafang dumpling. read more

We went on a Wednesday night at around 8:15pm and there was still a pretty decent crowd in the restaurant. We didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes to order, but there was a line after we were finished ordering and almost all of the tables were already full. You order at the counter and then are given a buzzer that gets taken to the pickup counter when the food is ready. It's self seating and there are limited tables available. There are some tables for smaller parties and also one long table that has about 10 seats. We sat at the long community table with a couple of other parties that were dining in. The food was decent for the price. The beef noodle soup was on the more mild side for flavor, but they gave a good amount of meat and the noodles had a perfect chewy texture. The pork chop ended up being on the oily side and that was the majority of what you taste while eating it. The old fashioned noodle had good flavor and I really enjoyed the quality of the noodles. The Bafang signature potstickers were crisp on the bottom and the vegetables inside added another layer of crunch to each bite. The food is priced very well for US standards and they give fairly large portions for the noodle dishes. read more

I made the mistake of coming to Bafang Dumpling during lunchtime of their soft open. I had placed an order online and arrived to find they messed up something with my order so it would take a few more minutes. At least they offered a free drink. While we were waiting, my daughter noticed that my bag was gone from the counter. Sure enough, somebody else had been given my order. So then we had to wait while my order was remade. After 15 minutes. I finally got my order and nobody apologized for the wait. Now to the food. I normally prefer potstickers to boiled dumplings, so I was surprised to find that my favorite were the kimchi pork dumplings. They were nice and fat and flavorful. By comparison, their signature pork potstickers were kind of bland, with a lot of vegetable in the filling. They really needed to be dunked into the vinegar to give it flavor. The old fashioned noodles were ok, nothing special, and the spicy mala noodles were not as spicy as I expected. The worst was the fried pork chop. It was cut into four pieces. I took a bite of one and found that it was mostly fat. I tried searching for meat in that piece but it was a fruitless search. I know it was soft open, so employees haven't had time to be trained how to manage messed up orders. Due to some glitch in their online ordering system, my order came through as dumplings and potstickers, no filling and no skin. No wonder the kitchen messed up my order (although I'm kind of curious what they made)! It would have been nice for them to apologize for the extra wait as they remade the food that they gave to someone else, at the very least. An even better move would have been to toss something in for free for the inconvenience. I don't know if I will bother to come back. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Came on a Sunday night. This plaza's parking is pretty terrible during peak hours, so plan ahead. When given the option, definitely order ahead! I believe they disable it certain times so they can keep up with orders. Menu is pretty simple, but that is what makes it easy to order from. Service was great. Everything is new and clean. Limited seating, but there are people constantly coming and going. We ordered take-out. There is lots of utensils and sauces on the side to pick up. I would definitely recommend eating at the restaurant or even in your car (if you can't find a seat) to ensure maximum eating experience. What we ordered: - Combo 1 (Potstickers and corn chowder): Like I mentioned, we did take-out so when we got home the potstickers were unfortunately a bit softer and not as crispy as we wanted. But the flavors were definitely there and it paired well with the garlic soy sauce. Corn chowder was a comforting soup and flavored. - Combo 8 (Old fashioned noodle and pork chop): I quite liked the noodles. Something so simple, but so great about it. The noodles were chewy and the sauce that was on it very good. Again, since it was take out the noodles kind of clumped together, so eat it fresh! I did not care much for the pork chop as it was a bit too sweet for my liking. - Spicy Wonton: This was also good, not as spicy as I originally thought. I would def come back to try the other dumpling, soup, and chicken dishes! read more

This made me sooooo happy that they brought Bafang to Irvine! I used to rave to my mom about how much I loved the original Bafang down the street from my grandma's place in Taipei. I wish they had the some more variety of dumplings but I'll take the small wins. To be honest, I'd recommend buying the frozen dumplings and cooking them at home because they taste exactly the same as getting it in the restaurant...and boiling dumplings is suuuuper easy. I went hard and bought 100 dumplings for $46 hehe. With that said, we also got signature potstickers and signature noodles which is basically like dan dan mein. Noodles had great flavor and cooked nicely with a good chew. Potstickers were also tasty. We paid $26 after tax for 6 potstickers, 6 signature dumplings, 6 kimchi dumplings, and signature noodles which was good for 2 people for dinner. Satisfied with the price! At the restaurant, you order at the counter and pray for an open table to snag. Try to not come during rush hour or you'll end up awkwardly standing around eyeing people down in the hopes that they hurry up and finish their food so you can take their table because there's not a ton of seating. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Bafang Dumpling is now open in Irvine! This location is in a pretty busy plaza with a decent amount of parking spots. This spot can get packed with only about 6-8 tables inside so keep that in mind if you are planning to dine in. They have a good selection on their menu of different dumplings, potstickers, soups, and noodles. Wifey and I opted to get the Corn & Chicken Dumplings, Bafang Signature Dumplings, Signature Noodles, and the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. Everything we had was hearty, comforting, and delicious! Overall, this spot is definitely serving up some quality food! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. If you like the dumplings, they even sell frozen bags of them too! read more

Loved Bafang Dumpling! I can't eat red meat but I dropped by here with my friends so I got the Bafang noodles and chicken and corn dumplings. The server was very helpful and patient when I asking about different menu items bc of my dietary restrictions. Our food came out relatively fast (5-10 min) and there was plenty of seating inside. Overall I highly recommend this spot for dumplings and noodles and I'd love to come back to try the different options even though they're limited for me personally. Had a wonderful experience. read more

Inside: Super cute and modern. There are several different sized tables but no outside seating which was a little disappointing because it's gets busy inside and there seems to be open space next to the restaurant. Btw, this is also a take your tray type of eatery and you must place your dirty trays away. Small tables so be careful with your trays/food spread. Staff: Incredibly nice staff; we're very helpful with my order and I witnessed a customer drop his soup in the middle of the restaurant and they were very kind to him and assured it wasn't a big deal and they cleaned it immediately. 10/10 workers. Food: The Taiwanese Beef noddle soup combo came with a drink and a soup; we chose the corn chowder. The corn chowder was steaming hot and had a creamy consistency with a noticeable corn flavor; very homey and tasty. I wish the soup had more spice and beef flavor in my opinion; but there are sauce options you can add yourself and considering the price and tasty toppings (beef and radish) I can't complain too much. The potstickers were great for the price and really good for sharing as we got the 12 pieces and still had lots of leftovers. However the best dish which I recommend is the fried chicken. Super soft dark meat with a crispy outside and comes on a bed of cabbage with cilantro on top. Make your own sauces and enjoy. read more

I've been seeing lines out the door for this place in the 99 Ranch plaza off Walnut/Jeffrey, but thought it was a sit down type restaurant. It's actually more of an order for take-out kind of restaurant though they do have tables you can sit at and eat too. It's fast casual. You line up, and order at the counter. They'll call your name when ready, and you seat yourself at any open table. We ordered their signature potstickers (made with pork and cabbage), signature dumplings, and fried porkchop to go. Everything was yummy! You can order their dumplings frozen too and take it home to cook. Don't be intimidated by the line, it moves super fast. read more

Can't believe Bafang is finally in Irvine! We enjoyed the signature dumplings, spicy wontons, corn soup, hot & sour soup, and the old fashioned noodles. The spicy wontons flavor was a little flat though compared to the other Bafang locations. I don't think it was spicy and salty enough, but other than that, the food was great. We went on grand opening weekend and it was super busy so we decided to do take out to eat at home. Just a note - The parking lot is TERRIBLE. We got lucky since we arrived when someone was leaving the parking lot. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Came on grand opening weekend. There was a line around the restaurant at opening for this famous dumpling spot that originated from Taiwan that finally opened in Irvine. The restaurant is modern and aesthetically pleasing, although it's not a big space and there are only a few table available for dine in. You get a buzzer for your order and the food usually comes out pretty quick. Parking isn't a problem as it's a big parking lot in a plaza that's shared with 99 Ranch. Food was absolutely impressive. They're known for potstickers and dumplings, but their noodles were so good! Can't really go wrong with anything here. We tried: Signature Noodles - Dry noodle in sauce with a kick of spice. Topped with green onion. Noodles were well made and tasted great. Signature Potstickers - Not your typical potstickers from Costco! Fried perfectly which a lot of places can't do. They claim is their most popular item and I see why. Spicy Wontons - If you love wontons, must get these. The sauce it's seasoned in is delicious. Beef Noodle Soup - My personal favorite and go to at a Taiwanese restaurant. They also have a Mala flavor which I got to-go after because this one was so good! The beef is well made, noodles were well cooked. Comes in a large bowl that won't leave you hungry after. Service here was exceptional and I think they handled the grand opening very efficiently. The old gentleman who I can tell is the owner or the family of the owner is so warm and kind. Helped us and others find seats in the crowd of customers and cleaned up tables and brought chairs/high chairs for customers. Everyone is very friendly amidst the chaotic busy atmosphere which I think this restaurant will consistently have. Irvine is lucky to have Bafang Dumpling opening in town! read more

I would frequent this store in Hong Kong so I was excited to have it again in CA. It was quick and delicious! You order at the counter and they give you a beeper , so when your order is ready you come back up to the counter and pick it up. There is a station where you make your own sauce which I like. I got 12 dumplings for about $12(including tax). I'll definitely be back! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Kimchi pork dumplings - Taiwanese Near Me - Irvine, California

What I Ordered: Kimchi & Pork Potstickers 6PCS ($5.75) Bafang Signature Dumplings 6PCS ($5.75) Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup ($16.75) Spicy Wonton ($5.50) Bafang Pork Chop ($8) Food: SO. MANY. DUMPLINGS. This is a dumpling lover's paradise. They have a variety of dumplings and potstickers with different sauces available. My personal favorite was the Kimchi & Pork Potsticker, I loved the crispy coating at the bottom and the flavors of kimchi that came with each bite. It definitely isn't a spicy kimchi, so no need to worry if your spice tolerance is low. The Spicy Wonton, on the other hand, definitely has a bit of a kick with spice, so that one is for the spice lovers. Although this spot is famous for its dumplings, they also serve noodles and meat dishes. I enjoyed the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup, and I was surprised at the quality of meat that it came with. The meats were very tender and flavorful from absorbing the juices of the broth. The Bafang Pork Chop was great as well, I think it would have matched well with any of their non-soup noodle dishes. Staff: All the staff members were friendly! I went during their soft opening, so it was super busy but the staff members were still nice. Ambiance: Indoor seating. Plenty of parking. Everything was new and clean. read more

One highlight is their sauce bar, stocked with soy sauce, vinegar, chili, sesame oil, and garlic soy sauce, letting you customize your flavors to your liking! read more

Was excited for them to open in Irvine, but was disappointed! We went to three locations, brea mall (also no good), walnut area (a little better) and this location. We ordered the beef noodles soup, soup is spicy and flavorful but some beef was so tough to the point, we can't even eat them (only 2 beef shanks were food and tender), it's a waste of food and money. The dumplings took very long time but it's not even crispy on the bottom, the hot and sour soup was the worst I have ever had! It didn't taste right at all!!! And fried chicken was the only decent thing of tonight. The place looked decent size, but small inside with only a few tables and it's a bits awkward while waiting for people to finish eating to have their table and go to order food. Putting trays away are pretty standard practice but the customers are also responsible to wipe the table, it's a bits strange IMO and I understand it's a fast food place but I have never need to wipe tables at McDonald's or Taco Bell's, just putting trash and trash away, that's all! read more

Yum!!!! Delicious. Love all their sauces. Also very accommodating in terms of extra utensils, cups, and bowls to help split food. Got the number 2, signature favlores. loved their dumplings and the wontons! The meat of the wontons was so delicious! Also got the fries chili chicken, the dipping sauce for it though! I was using that for my Dumplings too. Would definitely go again read more
