Their specialty here is their Taiwanese braised beef noodle soup and dumplings. Both are very good. My favorite is the corn and chicken dumplings with a side of corn chowder, deelish! I will try the rest of the dumplings and their potstckers next with their specialty noodles and pork chops.
Boyfriend and I had been wanting to come here for ages. I'm not gonna lie. I do miss biology at this location, but Bafang is a delicious replacement. I really like the way they do combos because you can try a little bit of everything if you're a curious foodie like me. They also have a stamp card specifically for their combos where if you buy 10 combos and get 10 punches on your stamp card you get your next combo for free. My boyfriend who is a bit of a picky eater, liked their signature potstickers and dumplings as well as the veggie plant-based ones we both agree we would love to eat there again. There's plenty of parking since this is in a shopping center.
Big fat, NO! I've a couple of these Bafang dumpling shops opening in the valley. Very curious after the Northridge location open and finally had the chance to check it out. Ordering online was very convenient. I arrived at the time specified and had to wait for the cashier to finish something on the phone. The 7:30pm sunset was beating down through the windows making the place warm. About 5 mins later someone from the back assisted me. I told them I was picking up and online order. Order recieved and I went home. I ordered almost one of each item that had "signature". Got the potstickers, dumplings, noodles, spicy wonton, and corn chowder. The dumplings were bad. No flavor, gummy texture, and I can't event tell you what the filling is. The potstickers were a lil better but had the same gummy texture. For an item that should be fried/crispy it wasn't there at all. I can say maybe it was steamed from the time the item was boxed until it reached me. The noodles, same gummy texture as dumpling, no flavor. Spicy wonton is decent if there was enough spicy sauce. My favorite happened to be the corn chowder. I recieved this because the potsticker and dumpling was part of a combo. All in all im not a fan. Im writing about my dissatisfaction about the food instead of enjoying it. Parking: medium size private lot VERDICT: One and done
A solid spot to satisfy your dumpling and noodle cravings at a great price, perfect for any CSUN student! Walking distance from campus too. My friends and I have been at least 5 times by now, and here is what we recommend: -Any of the noodles, and their signature noodle isn't actually spicy although it has the spicy symbol. The beef noodle goes well with the cilantro and cucumber seasonings, and the sesame noodle is a nutty favorite! -Pork and cabbage dumplings and potstickers; they manage to cook the potstickers with a great balance of soft steamed exterior and a crunchy bottom! -Wonton soup; my personal favorite, although the dumplings are a bit fragile and I don't understand how it contains dairy (I wish it didn't, as now I am aware I can no longer eat it) We have yet to try the pork fried rice and beef noodle soup, but other than that, we've gotten a fair tour of the menu! The combinations are such great price for the portion you get, and you're more than likely to have leftovers to take home (everything is served in a to-go container, which makes it even more convenient). There is a sauce bar to customize your own sauce, and they give a CSUN discount which is super thoughtful! This is a solid establishment that my friends and I will continue to return to!
I finally had the opportunity to come visit this place on a Friday night since I was hungry. I was the one who added this place on Yelp and Google maps. I remember seeing this place when they were in the process of taking over the space. When I arrived to the plaza this place on a Friday night, I found parking right in the front. I looked at their menu and did the #7 combo deal of the noodles and wonton soup with a small soda. They'll give you a pager for when your food is ready. It didn't take long for my order to be made and I ate it inside of the place. It's a college vibe environment since it's near a CSUN which I'm a alumni at. I thought the noodle was alright, I added some chili to it but it was just noodles with no protein. Wonton isn't my favorite but I tried the soup and it's still not my favorite. The best part of my meal was my Pepsi, the soda options are all Pepsi products. Their small size cup is actually not a small size. Customer service here is excellent. If I was to come back in the future, I'll try something with rice.
This location of Bafang is not my favorite, but since it is close to CSUN campus and relatively affordable, I appreciate it for what it is! For some reason, it is always unbearable warm inside the restaurant, warmer than it is outside in the sun. I have ordered both the Signature Noodle/Potsticker combo and the Dumpling/Potsticker/Soup combo, and they are all pretty good! Wish there was more than one vegetarian dumpling option like there is in Taiwan, but maybe one day. The hot and sour soup has pork in it, which is not advertised on the menu, and it is lacking the sourness expected in a hot and sour soup. Much of the food is greatly improved with some DIY dressing up with the sauce bar, which has soy, soy garlic, sesame oil, and chili sauce. Service is relatively quick, but my main gripe with this location is just how hot it is inside. The location is relatively new, but I am wary of stopping by in the Northridge summer heat.
I originally dropped by here before but upon walking in, I felt like I was in a cafeteria and that was not my vibe that evening lol. My family and I were looking for a nice, sit down restaurant and this was not that, my mistake for assuming! Came back last night to go for a quick pick me up dinner which is what this place is. Parking is absurd here but it has always been like that. There was really only one guy taking orders, giving the orders, and helping customers so as soon as I ordered one thing, he stepped aside to help another customer and then apologized and came back to finishing our order. Sat down at a vacant 2 seater table. The trash/tray area next to the soda machine was not clean and very distracting if you sit near it. It was gross. The soda machine area had soda all over the counter top as well so it was kinda gross putting your cup on there because then the bottom would just be sticky. Food took a bit, they have sauce dispensers and containers for you to take what you want. I ordered gyoza and they didn't have gyoza so that was my gripe. Had to enjoy my food at home and make my own gyoza sauce. Other than that, they were a bit soggy and wish they were more on the crispy side. The pork chop bowl was alright, had a lot of flavor but also a bit on the soggier side. We still want to come back and try their noodles but overall it was okay for fast food dumplings I suppose.

Finally a place for dumplings! They have dumplings and potstickers (comes in signature, kimchi or vegetable). They also have a wonton soup, noodles and rice dishes. Not a huge menu which is a good sign. They have a punch card! Cool! I saw they sell their dumplings frozen in bags as well. I will say that there is a wait for your order so you might want to order ahead unless you're okay waiting 20minutes or so. I guess that's good its not ready too quickly, right? To each their own on that one They have plenty of seating if you would like to eat at the restaurant. Its cute. I wpuld definitely come back for the dumplings.
Love the authentic dumplings! I have quite a hard time choosing between the dumplings and trying something new, but i finally tried their noodles and loved them too. The noodles are so comforting. Similar to something my mom cooked for me when I was sick as a kid. The noodles are bouncy, the beef is tender, and the soup was spicy. My partner enjoyed the rice with pork. He likes the pork belly that is so tender it melts. And the pickled veggies perfectly balances the rich dish. Plenty of parking in the private lot. And really nice and fast service. Casual style restaurant that a balance of fast food but it's freshly and well made.
Decent dumpling spot next to CSUN offering a plethora of pan fried dumplings and steamed as well as combo meals -- think of it like the Yoshinoya (maybe slightly better) of Taiwanese cuisine. My tastes prefer a bit more of the bold and vibrant flavors of Szechuan, but the food here is high quality, super cheap, and the service is quick and speedy. Plenty of space to enjoy your meal in the airy environment as well. Our party ordered a bunch of things to try from the pork cutlet to dumplings to noodles--my fave was the beef noodle soup. Rich beef broth and a delish noodle akin to ramen. Wish they had more variety of dumplings, though.
Ordered on DoorDash. Never again. The chicken was raw and soft. The pork chop was mostly fat. The noodles were DRY & bland. The spicy wontons were OK. Potstickers taste like they've been frozen and heated up in the microwave. Honestly this was a waste of money and the biggest disappointment. Whatever they say they are "dumpling restaurant" is a joke. I'd go anywhere else before i try this place again.
It is very clean inside and the service is generally quick. I think the food is good for the price, but it's not my favorite dumplings. But this is a great place to satisfy a quick and easy dumpling craving.
Tried their new Northridge location. It's a casual chain setup--you order at the counter, grab a table, and wait for your food. I went with Combo #8: Bafang pork chop with old-fashioned noodles, plus a side of chili pepper fried chicken. Everything was really flavorful and hit the spot. The pork chop was well-seasoned, the noodles were comforting, and the fried chicken had a nice kick. That said, the portion felt a bit small for $27.93. Flavor-wise, I was satisfied--but I definitely could've eaten more. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving something tasty, just wish the portions matched the price a bit better. I'll def come back and order the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup next!

First time trying Bafang Dumpling and we had such a lovely experience! Yvonne took our order and was incredibly helpful, especially since it was our first time and we weren't sure what to get. She gave us great recommendations and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and easy. The rest of the staff was also very kind and attentive, and everything we ordered looked amazing. We're so excited to try everything and will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Yvonne and team, for making our first visit such a great one! read more
Bafang Dumpling is a massive chain that originated in Taiwan with over 1,400 franchisees and 14 locations in SoCal. The fast casual spot specializes in churning out dumplings and potstickers. After you have ordered at the counter, take your pager, grab your sauces and drinks, and find a table. Signature Potstickers: Shaped like long rectangles, the potstickers are first steamed and then fried until golden and crispy. The wrappers are nice and thin and filled with pork and cabbage. They also have kimchi & pork, corn & chicken, and veggie options. Signature Dumplings: These steamed dumplings have a pretty juicy pork and cabbage filling. Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice: Of the items I tried, this was my favorite. The team-up of the crispy fried pork chop and savory braised pork belly packs a double punch of porky goodness. The pork chop is pounded into tenderness with a potato starch coating that seals in the juices. The soy-garlic-five-spice marinade is the best. Pickled mustard greens and cucumbers add texture and zing to the comforting bed of steamed white rice. Signature Noodles: The texture of the noodles is bouncy and springy. Stir-fried in mala spices and sesame paste, the noodles are nutty, numbing, and tangy. read more

My experience at Bafang Northdige was easy breezy. I decided to stop by for the soft opening before the actual opening of March 6. It was time to try this place my co-worker had told me about this place and when I saw that one in Northridge would be openxing I was so excited. Parking at this location may vary because it is a busy shopping center due to traffic , restaurants and students near by from CSUN to high schools in the area they all gravitated to this Blvd. Ambience was normal for a restaurant nothing obnoxiously loud. The seating area is very spacious and clean. Tristan our cashier was super informative in assisting with our order, thank you for your patience. I went with the Combo 3 which is pretty basic compared to all the rest but its ok because ill be back for more. My order consisted of wonton soup,fried dumpling and steamed all cabbage and pork. They all were deliciously soft and tasty. I'll be back soon, Thank you! read more
Let me start by saying that this is a place that my brother, who lives in Porter Ranch, goes to often. His wife is from Taiwan and they find themselves coming here instead of having to drive all the way to San Gabriel for Taiwanese food. Since my brother comes here often, I figured that it had to be good. It turns out that it was alright. Nothing that will blow your hair back. I ordered their Taiwanese beef noodle soup, Bafang signature noodles, old fashion noodles, Bafang signature pot stickers, pork chop with braised pork belly on rice and their wonton soup. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was, alright. For some reason I always think about the beef noodle soup I would get at the Taiwan Intl airport during my stop overs which had a stronger star anise flavor. This soup hardly had any star anise flavor and I felt that it landed flat for me. You do get a large portion though. The Bafang signature noodles were okay. They had nice spicy kick but the flavor wasn't anything special. Actually the old fashion noodles were more flavorful and would be what I would go with if I was ordering noodles. The pork chop with braised pork belly on rice was not for me. The main reason was the pork they used had a really strong gamey flavor that was quite overpowering. The wonton soup wasn't a dish I would order again. Not much flavor and the skins on the wontons were falling apart probably because the wontons had been cooking in the soup for so long. If I did order it again, it would be for take out and I'd add a few drops of sesame oil into the broth before eating it. The Bafang signature potstickers was probably the strongest dish but even then it was just okay. The texture was nice and crispy but the meat filling didn't have any flavorful punch where it could stand on its own. Dipping it in vinegar, sesame oil or chili oil helps it out. All in all it the meal was reasonably priced and the food wasn't bad but it's not something I'd crave but it does beat what you'd get at most other fast food restaurants. read more
Super excited to see the Grand Opening banner out as I passed by and decided to choose this for dinner today. They had a deal where if you spend more than $35, you get a free cooler bag so I was able to order about 3-4 items to-go to make it and was plenty of food for leftovers. I think Bafang dumplings is a good spot when you're on a budget. I got one of the combos that came with a side. So far I enjoyed the mini wonton soup the most compared to the $10 pork belly braised pork rice bowl with a drink. It felt lacking in flavor and was okay, but I think the vegetables were what had the most flavor and makes the whole dish good. It's filling at least and the pork is tender. There's a good amount of staff busy at work and keeping this bright and clean spot organized. In terms of wait time, I feel like it's about as long as the sepulveda and arcadia locations so I can't complain. Plenty of seating and lots of delivery orders were getting picked up on the side counter. I know I'd come back here again because the food being in my car smelled so delicious!!! read more
Excited to have a Taiwanese spot in the valley! I came for their grand opening weekend to check them out and really enjoyed my meal here. I came Friday around noon. Surprisingly it wasn't as busy as I expected given that it was grand opening weekend and they were running a bunch of promotions. You order at the counter first and get a buzzer, then go up to pick up your food when it's ready. Since there were 4 of us, we were able to order a variety of food from their menu. We got: Combo 2 - 12 potstickers and wonton noodle soup ($14.95) Combo 8 - old fashioned noodle with pork chop ($16.50) Pork chop and braised pork belly over rice ($10) Beef noodle soup ($17.50) Chili pepper fried chicken ($8.95) My personal favorite was surprisingly the wontons, which had the softest skin. I assume they make the skins in-house to get the soft and silky texture, as it's much better than anything I've had store bought. Second favorite was the fried chicken, which was fried perfectly with the right amount of batter and flavor. I was afraid it'd be too spicy, but there's only a mild kick to it that even I, as a spice wimp, could handle. Everything else was solid as well. The pork chop was flavorful and went well with the noodles. The rice bowl was heftier than expected for the $10 price point. The potstickers were delicious and the leftovers heated up wonderfully in the air fryer at home. And the beef noodle soup came in a ginormous bowl with large chunks of beef and plenty of pickled veggies on the side. Even though it was grand opening weekend, the restaurant staff were well trained and we got most of our food in a timely manner. The only thing that took a while was the fried chicken, but we had plenty to munch on while we waited, so we didn't mind. read more
So happy this place finally opened! This place honestly is so yummy. Fast service and not a long wait for food. You can eat there or enjoy to go. Lots of seating which is good! I love the potstickers and dumplings here so much! I actually don't usually eat these foods often because I usually am not a fan but I actually really enjoyed this place. Potstickers and dumplings were not crispy and more so soft. Loved the Kimchi+Pork Dumplings and Signature Potstickers! Bafang noodles are spicy. If you do not like spicy food, do not get this but if you like a little kick, I'd recommend it. Corn chowder was good but I could go without it. I enjoyed trying it though! Would definitely recommend trying this place and I would come back here. read more
We used to go Bafang in Sepulveda Blvd. across Costco and I'm so glad this opened close to where we live. Food: Bafang has always been our favorite, we love all their food varieties here. During our first visit here in Northridge we ordered, Combo #6 - Spicy Beef Dry Noodles with soda, Combo #2 - 12pcs Signature Potstickers with Mini Wonton Soup and 1 order of Pork Chop with Braised Pork. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious. Service & Ambience: We came in on Saturday at 6:40pm so the place was busy, had to wait for tables to be available. The line to order was okay not too long when we came but if it does get long, the staff are pretty fast. Greatservice, staff was attentive, fast and helpful. The place is nice, spacious even with lots of seating. Great for big groups. Highly recommended! read more
Bafang Dumplings is surprisingly quite good! Simple, straightforward, delicious, and doesn't cost crazy amount. Seriously, getting a bowl of Bafang Signature Noodle AND Wonton Soup together for $17 is pretty amazing! The Signature Noodle is under $9 by itself and could easily be $15-18 elsewhere. The Wonton soup itself is your classic juicy pork wontons and they are delicious! The broth is savory and soothing even on a warm day, I can't help to slurp it all away. The Bafang Signature Noodle is interesting in its complexity. The thicker noodle balances very well with the spicy Mala sauce, a traditional numb-spicy Sichuan peppercorn-based chili sauce, and the nutty sesame. It reminds me a little bit of Dandan noodles although it's not as nutty. Nevertheless, I like it! So yes, I'm looking forward to exploring more of Bafang's menu since they are not as same old as your typical Chinese chain franchise! read more

My friends and I love Bafang Dumplings and were excited to see this spot open up closer to home! I really like the new look of this location and walked in to a very bright and clean look. There's plenty of seats, with a few tables that can cater to large groups or families. There's so much to try in the menu and they all look delicious, especially the noodle soups, but I just wanted two orders of dumplings. The staff told me it'd be a good deal to get the Combo C since it comes with a side of soup. Sure! I got the mini wonton soup on the side and that tasted delicious and comforting with the dumplings. They tasted so good and my friends and I love that they're very affordable. I think this is a great spot for CSUN students nearby too and is a wonderful addition to this plaza. *have restrooms *sodas/drink station *food pickup area *large parking lot read more
Came during soft opening. Food is alright; I actually think the sepulveda location somehow tastes better, and they also serve boba and soy milk there. This location, however, is more spacious with more parking - wonton soup: lacked in flavor and soup was on the saltier side? Wouldnt get again - bafang signature noodles: peanutbuttery with a bit of a kick. Despite no meat, still pretty good. Would come back to give the other noodles a try tho. read more
Fast and friendly service, great price for portions, food court style Ordered, the your numbers, wait for it for them to call, go get your food, water, utensils and cleaned up after you finished. Place is pretty large, plenty of seats but filled up fast. The filling of the dumpling is okay, tasted the salt but no sweetness at all. Something is lacking. The house noodle, love the texture of the noodles, the taste? Just so so The corn chowder. Now this is the best from what I ordered. My review, It's a hyped, a trend, for budget and quick, this place is best, more for you cause I'm going to other mom and pop dumplings and noodles around the area. read more

I absolutely love dumplings so to have a "fast food" type of dumpling spot is so convenient! They have ample seating indoors and a counter to order and pick up. The staff were quick getting food out and the cashier who took our order helped us pick all our dishes with great recommendations. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we went with the kimchi and pork potstickers: soooo delicious and perfectly crispy; signature dumplings: so so good and filled nicely; signature noodles: these were my favorite with that delicious sauce and perfect bite to the noodles; and lastly we ordered their pork chop with braised pork belly rice bowl: phenomenal flavor and very generous portion. They also sell frozen dumplings you can buy to make at home too which I thought was cool. read more

We are so thrilled to finally have a Bafang in Northridge! My family and I were regulars at the Van Nuys location, so we've been counting down the days for this one to open. We even made sure to stop by for both the soft opening and the grand opening...we clearly can't get enough. Everything here is consistently great. If you're trying to decide what to order, our absolute favorites are: Pork Chop: Always seasoned perfectly. Bafang Signature Wontons: In my opinion, these are way better than the standard dumplings! Spicy Wontons: A must-order if you like a little kick. The only real "downfalls" are likely a result of them being the new hot spot in town. It can get really stuffy and hot inside; during the opening days ,the AC seemed to be struggling a bit, and with the crowd, it got uncomfortable quickly. Also, be prepared for a wait or a hunt for a tabll...there isn't quite as much seating as you'd hope for given how popular it is. It's a "good problem to have" for a new business, but definitely something to keep in mind if you're bringing a larger group. Despite the heat and the crowds, the food is 100% worth it. So happy to have you in the neighborhood! read more
Great new spot in Northridge near CSUN! The potstickers were crispy and juicy, and the dumplings were super flavorful. Loved the Taiwanese beef noodle soup--rich and comforting. Spicy wontons had a nice kick and the pork chop with braised pork belly rice bowl was super satisfying. Solid spot for a quick, delicious meal. read more
The name, Bafang Dumpling, popped up here and there, during my hunt for a new place. At that time, the closest location was Van Nuys. Very recently though, they opened up a branch at the junction of Reseda and Nordhoff, in Northridge. So it was exciting to pay them a visit. The location is simple inside, very spacious, no fancy decor, just tables and uncomfortable chairs. What is important here is that they cover the important Taiwanese comfort foods of noodles (8 types), rice (2 types) potstickers, dumplings, soups and sides. The stars here are the noodles, dumplings and potstickers. So my order to go was six Bafang signature potstickers (pork and cabbage) and from their sides section, the spicy wontons. I got to eat both about 3 hours later. Thirty seconds for each in the microwave was all it needed, without taking the food out from the original well constructed, to go packages. The pan (or grill) fried potstickers have superb optics, nicely browned and elongated. They were juicy, tasty and complemented the outer covering well to provide a wholesome and satisfying bite. Next time, I will get 12 of them. I can only imagine the crispiness that would have been retained, if it was eaten as a dine in item. The spicy wontons were boiled, soft, with toppings of a spicy sauce, scallions and sesame seeds. This too was succulent, perfectly seasoned, flavorful and provided a warm fragrance during the eating process. There seemed to be no need for any additional hot sauce. I will have to go back, to try their noodles, dumplings and other popular items, on their limited, but enticing menu. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately, these dumplings were very disappointing. They were extremely greasy, and the pork and cabbage filling tasted quite basic and lacked the authenticity I was expecting. I paid $40.49 for six dumplings that arrived cold and greasy, along with two fortune dumpling soups. Overall, the experience didn't meet my expectations, especially for the price. Sadly, I won't be returning. Trader Joe's soup dumplings are far better in comparison. read more

I popped in for lunch to try this new spot in Northridge. They are known for their dumplings, potstickers and soups. I was really thinking of getting potstickers, but a guy passed by me with a humongous bowl of nice looking soup and my attention has shifted. I learned that it's a Taiwanese beef noodle soup and I was eager to try it. I got mine Mala style versus the original. Mala, they told me, comes with a lot of spices and herbs. As I tried a spoon of the broth with some herbs, I was in heaven ---a bit of savory , umami, a bit of sweet, a broth so good and outstanding that it hit so many flavor notes. I also loved that they used marinated cabbage in small amounts as one of the ingredients. It added an immense amount of flavor. Other ingredients used were the delicious bok choi, green onion and more. All of the above allowed for the pieces of beef to be more flavorful as well. And as a delicious neutralizer to the flavor insanity of a broth, came the delicious noodles. They were very yummy and an irreplaceable ingredient for this absolutely amazing food creation. The place itself is spacious with around 10 tables for dining in. The customer service was very solid and friendly. Will definitely come back here again to try their potstickers- they looked great! read more
