    Got the fried chicken with a bowl of rice on the side and pork belly bowl.
    Jane R.

    Yummy food for great price! Finally got to try this place, it's always packed whenever we pass by it. I can see why. It's so flavorful and probably one of the cheapest meals I've had for such a yummy rice plate. I'm looking forward to trying their other menu items. Highly recommend and will got back again! Note, it's nothing fancy. It's simply really yummy and filling for the price point.

    Beef noodle soup- one of the better ones we've had in US
    Janey L.

    This is the first Ba Fang restaurant I've tried in California 6 months ago. They have since opened a restaurant in Santa Clara, which is closer to me in Silicon Valley. This time we came back to San Diego, we brought our college kid here. He enjoyed it too! We recommend their beef noodle soup (it's big and shareable) and their combo #2. I grew up in Taiwan and just love corn soup. The only con for this restaurant is that it's a bit out of the way from the highways. It's not easy to get to from the universities near by.

    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Maria H.

    We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was not overly busy, we were told to order using the tablet. We ordered an order of their signature potstickers, spicy noodles bowl, and their pork chop with pork belly rice. Overall not really impressed with the service, as it over 30 minutes to get our food. Consistently the employees kept disappearing, we saw 3 employees working in the kitchen, where one was always using her food as she was handling the food. Not sure if she washed her hands after each time she used her phone, yuck. Also the food was ok, I was expecting more, but it was served lukewarm as like it sat there for a while. So worth trying, maybe you'll get better service than we did.

    #2 signature potstickers and wonton soup

    Super clean, great service, and huge portions. The wonton soup was the best I have ever had in the US.

    Beef noodle soup
    David L.

    Was excited to finally try Bafang San Diego. Place is clean and bright, menu well labeled, seating is ample. Food, personally felt a little bland. As a Taiwanese American, I was expected a little more. Beef noodle soup for $17.50 the size is pretty large, 4-5 large pieces of beef but under-seasoned. Broth was ok, not enough depth of flavor a the noodles were slightly overcooked. Potstickers were basic, skin was not as crispy and the filling's flavors were in the bland side, but the seasoned soy sauce was a little too salty. The $10 pork chop bento actually had great flavor on the rice and braised pork belly. The pork chop had good flavor but texture was not snappy enough. Wonton soup broth was actually well seasoned and the wonton were very tasty. Not much service, you pick up your own order and find own seating. Need to wipe down your own tables. Overall I might come back for the wonton soup and pork chip rice.

    6 piece signature potstickers
    Michele M.

    I've tried this place a few times and I really like their signature potstickers with pork and cabbage. They have good flavor and I like the crispy finish. The last time I went they had a picture of the pork chop bowl with braised pork belly rice on the window. My friend and I thought it looked good so we both decided to try it. The pork chop was battered and tender. The rice was really flavorful. Definitely, a dish I would have again. Here's my issue with the restaurant..the few times I have eaten here, the tables are dirty. If you sit at a table, you have to clean it yourself. I also have never witnessed an employee actively cleaning. The water and sauce area is also very dirty. Sauce everywhere. I would feel much better about this restaurant if it were cleaner in general.

    Combo 4: signature noodles, and 6 Signature Potstickers
    Em B.

    Dumplings on the go at reasonable prices? Yes please! Originally, we had planned on going to elsewhere, but since they closed at 2PM, we ended up searching "Asian Food" on Yelp...what popped up first on my search was Bafang Dumpling. I wouldn't exactly compare it to Din Tai Fung, however, if you have a hankering for quick, inexpensive Taiwanese food, this is the spot for you. The girl that rang us up was a bit dismissive and rude, probably a high schooler. But I digress. What mattered most was the food at that point since we were starving. And it did not disappoint. I decided on Combo 4: 6 piece Signature Potstickers and Signature Noodles. The noodles had a spicy kick and were cooked well. The crispness of the potstickers was delightful and my favorite part of the meal. It was quite filling and I only ate about half of the noodle bowl before passing it on to the co-habby to finish up for me. Quite tasty, especially for just under $14 for this meal. The co-habby got a $10 bowl which had Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly over rice. He said it was decent but preferred my combo over his bowl. The menu is simple and solid. We will definitely return there for lunch or dinner the next time we are in Mira Mesa.

    Bafang Dumpling is a Taiwanese restaurant chain that has made its way to San Diego! I'm so glad they did. There's nothing more comforting than some noodles and dumplings. This fast casual style restaurant is very clean and spacious. There is plenty of space to enjoy your meal and they have a bunch of sauces in the back available whether you're dining in or taking out. They have digital ordering boards or you can order at the counter. I got the sesame noodles and dumplings. They have dumplings and potstickers, but I wanted soft dumplings. I was very impressed by the food. It was really good! You can purchase frozen dumpling bags to go if you'd like to make these at home!

    Bafang Dumpling is a Taiwan-based dumpling company 八方雲集 (Bafang Yunji) serving soups, dumplings, potstickers, rice, and noodle dishes. AMBIANCE Bright, spacious, modern casual SERVICE Customers order at counter, take a buzzer, and pick up their orders when buzzed FOOD 5/5 Pork Chop w/ (Braised) Pork Belly (over) Rice: A tender chop full of flavor and served with pickled vegetables 3/5 Kimchi & Pork Dumplings: kind of a wild card with a chunky texture that didn't taste quite like kimchi, which deserves to be kept cold unless it's in jjigae PARKING Plentiful in the lot

    12 Signature Potstickers
    Jenifer B.

    Great food and packaging and efficient service. We ordered take out from here and got the bafang signature noodle, 12 signature potstickers, 12 signature dumplings, and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup for a total of $53.29. The pick up was smooth and it came in a good quality and spacious bag that fit everything well and made carrying all that food easy. My favorite was the taiwnese beef noodle soup - it was so good, with daikon packed with flavor and super tender beef. Excited to come back to get this. The potstickers and dumplings were also delicious - though I don't know if I'd get 12 of each again since they seem to be similar fillings. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the signature noodle dish and it was more because I don't really like the nutty type of sauce (more of a preference). I'd recommend checking this place out for sure! Tasted good as a leftover too!

    Bafang Dumpling reminds me of authentic Taiwanese noodles, beef and potstickers! The spicy noodles were just the right amount chili oil in our noodle soup! The service is great and friendly! There is a self service kiosk for fast ordering during lunch time rush hour! It was thoughtful by the company to have most foods packaged in Togo containers in case you cannot finish your meal. We tried a little of everything. We ordered Kimchi dumplings, Spicy Wontons, Bafang Signature Potstickers, Beef Dry Noodle Soup, and Mala Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The only non authentic dish was the Kimchi Dumplings that were flavorful however not a particular favorite. Ambiance is very clean and tables were wiped down by staff after every party. When you're finished with your meal, take your tray to the back central conveyor belts for cleaning.

    Came here around lunch time. It was pretty busy! That just shows how good their food is. I actually didn't eat here, my parents did and I did try some of their food and it was very taste and flavorful! I like how they have a water station as well as a self serve station for their condiments - soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, and utensils. As I mentioned they were busy around lunch time, so my family and I sat in the "bar style " seating in the back.

    Bafang Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
    Faye L.

    I didn't want to try this place as one sister and cousin said they didn't like it. We are all beef noodle soup fans. Then another sister said the beef noodle soup was pretty good here as well as their dumplings. I've visited this location a few times now and have been happy overall. The BNS servings (for to go orders) are generous, well packaged, and freshly made. The mala version is also spicy enough for heat enthusiasts out there. Their online ordering system is well done except you can't make additional requests (extra pickled veggies, etc). However, you are able to ask them for it when you pick up your order (I guess depending on who's working the front that day). Luckily, the staff has always been pretty cool when we've picked up our orders. The beef noodle soup broth is decent - not as rich and umami but enough flavor where it satisfies a BNS-fix. There's not that much meat (maybe 4 pieces) and the pieces are a nice size. Not too tender but more of a chew. The pork chop rice was ok. One time the pork chop was dry and not good at all. The second visit we ordered the bowl and it was awesome. The minced pork meat (on top of rice) was amazing but not enough of it. The pork chop this time was moist and flavorful. They also have a promo now where you get a free order of dumplings with a $50 gift card. So take advantage of that for sure. I also bought sis two orders of their frozen dumpling bags and she enjoyed them (don't forget to ask them for the punch card for the frozen dumplings as you get a free bag i think after a certain amount).

Most of the seats were taken inside from people studying but there was seating outdoors. (: Service was quick and friendly.

The oolong tea was from their seasonal menu! They had a wide variety of different drinks from the regular menu and the seasonal drink menu! Their popcorn chicken was extremely juicy and the seasoning for the spicy chicken was so tasty. The chicken really was cooked to perfectly with the perfect crunch. It came with a spicy mayo dipping sauce which went so well with the popcorn chicken!! I am excited to come back soon to try their other food and drinks! Parking was also a plus.

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

It's in a plaza with a ton of other restaurants, so just know parking can be a little chaotic. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30PM and still found parking pretty easily, but I can see it getting rough later. The place itself is on the smaller side, but they fit a good amount of seating. Every time I pass by it never looks super packed and even this time it wasn't that busy. I ordered ahead through their website, which was smooth, but when I walked in the cashier didn't see my order at first. I showed her my confirmation text, she checked with the kitchen and let me know it was still being prepared. She was super kind about it, so no issue there. I sat and waited and it ended up being around 20 minutes, which felt a little long for just two items, but not terrible. There was also a moment where a group came in and no one was at the front, so they asked me how ordering worked. We both just assumed you scan the QR code at the table and order from there, which probably explains why there isn't always someone upfront. A little confusing at first, but it is what it is. Once my food was ready, it was packaged really nicely. I had about a 25 minute drive home and everything stayed warm, which is honestly the best part about good takeout. Popcorn Chicken ($9.50) This might be the best popcorn chicken I've had in San Diego, especially for the price. You get big pieces, like actual chicken, not just fried coating. The seasoning is kind of addicting, a little sweet, a little salty, savory, with a slight kick. Super fragrant too with green onions mixed in. The sauce tasted like a cilantro jalapeño crema, almost taco vibes, which sounds random but it worked really well. And the shredded cabbage at the bottom soaking up all that extra seasoning... so good. Only thing is I wish some pieces were a little crispier and more golden, but still really really solid. Spicy Shrimp Wontons (8 pcs, $10.80) These come in a soy, vinegar, chili oil sauce that's super balanced. The wontons themselves are a bit smaller and don't have a ton of filling, so price-wise it's a little eh. But the sauce carries. After sitting in it during my drive home, I thought it would be too salty, but it actually soaked in perfectly. The color got darker and richer and the flavor still stayed balanced. Overall, this place is honestly solid. The menu isn't huge, more focused on noodles, dumplings, and apps, but based on what I had, they do it well. I'll definitely be back to try more, but that popcorn chicken alone is already enough reason to come back.
