Amazing food! Their combos are an amazing deal, it is fairly priced and the dumplings, potstickers, and noodles all remind me of traditional home cooked style. There are many flavors and options to choose from and size portions are filling. It is self service style where they call your order number and you grab the tray. They also have a self service sauce bar. The interior is very clean and modern. The area is very spacious and not too busy! read more

Visited the site during the week and there were few people ordering and almost non eating there. There were two employees preparing the food. Ordered the dumplings with sweet and sour soup. We also ordered the noodles and chicken on rice with potstickers specials. Smelled delicious but potstickers and dumplings tasted too similar. They served us at the table but left a cup for Pepsi drinks. Our seats were dirty, as was the wall next to us. Had to take a pic for proof. Now I know why most don't eat there.. read more

My go to when we're feeling lazy to cook dinner. My main go to order is their $10 pork belly rice bowl. It has 1/2 portion of pork chop + generous scoop of super tender pork belly, pickled radish, and rice. It's an amazing deal and highly recommend you get that as your first item if you're new to Bafang. Service is always good. I tend to place my orders via phone call and it's always a smooth experience. The place is modern and plenty of seating which is an option if you want to dine in instead. I do noticed there is a chef that is not executing at the same level as the others. Even though we tend to order the same stuff we noticed it taste sufficiently different on certain days. I wish I can have the data point of avoiding a certain day (need more data point). read more

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. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Got the fried chicken with a bowl of rice on the side and pork belly bowl. - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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. read more

Bafang Dumpling - #2 signature potstickers and wonton soup - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Combo 4: signature noodles, and 6 Signature Potstickers - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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). read more

For what it is, it's great. I got the fried pork chop, signature noodle, potstickers and spicy wontons. Surprisingly the spicy wontons were the favorite. I love how thin the wrapper is and how savory the filling was. The sauce wasn't bad, not the best, but the filling and skin made up for it. The potstickers weren't bad, I think eating them fresh and not for take out would have been best though. And felt like it needed a dipping sauce of some sort, the potsticker skin is also slightly thicker than the wonton skin and I felt that the filling was less savory. I wouldn't hesitate to get it again though if I were so in the mood. The spicy wontons for me are a must though. As for the friend pork chop, it was flavorful enough and tender. I believe they tenderized the meat prior and the patty is on the thinner side, so it just felt a little more processed than I would have liked. As for the signature noodle, yeah, I was a little disappointed even though I had fairly low expectations for the place to begin with. In fact I came here craving some sort of dan dan-y like noodle, and thought it would have hit the spot. I found the noodles to have lost their chew, were a little too soft and the noodles and sauce was somewhat bland, so therefore, disappointing. I'd still come here in a heartbeat, for its fast causal concept and I'd definitely like to try more things if I were to come again! Portions were mostly fairly generous for the price point. read more

When we walked it we went straight to the counter to order. Took awhile for some to come take our order. When we sat down, we saw there was a kiosk to order from. Totally missed that. What we ordered - Combo 4 which was spicy noodles and potstickers. I didn't realize I ordered the spicy noodles so I switched mine with my bf. Potstickers were delicious - Combo 8 which was noodles, pork chop and lemon black tea. Noodles were good. Pork chop was ok. - Soy Mango - delish I liked the sauces you can add or dip. I didn't like that our noodles came separately from the potstickers and pork chop. We will come back again. read more

Ordered Bafang through DoorDash, and I am so glad I did. Ordered Taiwanese beef noodle soup and signature pot stickers. The noodle soup is delicious. The broth is amazing, the noodles are the perfect texture, good amount of beef in the soup, and the radish and bokchoy complete the meal. The potstickers were good as well, maybe it would've been a different experience for the dumpling if my food wasn't a to go order. Overall very happy with the quality and price of the food. Looking forward to going here again! read more

A little on the pricier side for dumplings since they opened. I went to their location in Taiwan and obviously they can't compete with the prices there. I was surprised by their lack of options at first. Compared to the Taiwan branch, the menu in San Diego was lacking in some way, but they were always busy when they first opened. Now, this location is not as busy. They have more options. They got rid of the cold dishes. Tables and tray station can get pretty dirty since it is self-service. I think that also speaks to the customers in the store. They could do a better job cleaning up after themselves. I got the pork chop rice during my last visit when they added it to their menu as a new item. It wasn't too busy. The rice was a little undercooked. They had us wait 20 minutes since they needed to cook the rice. I was a little shocked by that because usually restaurants just have rice staple ready. The potsticker chef could do a better job though. I expect my potstickers to be intact for the price I'm paying for one dumpling rather than chopped up and broken into pieces. Not sure why sometimes they come broken. Customer service isn't stellar. There's literally no service. This place is more like a take-out fast food chain. I would come here again though since it is convenient. read more

I drove all the way from Chula Vista and I'd do it again. The restaurant is simple and clean. There is not a trash can in sight! If you walk towards the restroom, there's an area for you to discard your trash and return your tray. I ordered the boba milk tea, spicy wontons, and hot and sour soup. It was the perfect meal for under $20 and my meal came out pretty quick. The spicy wontons had the perfect flavor and texture. The prices here are very reasonable. There is a sauce station near the front door to create dipping sauces as well as a water dispenser to help yourself to water cups. The only thing I didn't like is they flipped my milk tea upside down on my tray. I don't trust that the serving trays are properly cleaned and leaving it right side up would've made more sense. I'll be back to try other items though! read more

The food is decent for a casual eatery. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter, and plenty of seating if you choose to dine it.

I also ordered a matcha heaven, I would pass on this, it tasted watered down. read more

Fast, causal way to satisfy a dumpling/potsticker craving. It's located in a pretty busy plaza in Mira Mesa, but there's ample parking. The interior is bright and spacious, with plenty of seating. You can order using a kiosk or walking up to the register to talk to someone. FOOD: Bafang's dumplings are decent, but they won't blow you away. To me, the appeal is that they're fast and affordable. The combos prices are a steal in this day and age. COMBO 1 (12 Signature Potstickers + Soup or Drink) (3.7/5) - Paid $14.82 (tax included). Opted for the signature (instead of kimchi) and the hot & sour soup option. - Signature Potstickers: Nice crunch to them, but the filling is not very flavorful. Best if you dip it in a sauce you can make yourself at their little self serve counter near the entrance. Still pretty good, but just not wow. - Hot & Sour Soup: It was tasty, but it wasn't hot & sour soup. It wasn't hot or sour? While it had tofu and a bit of egg, it also had pork, carrots, and enoki mushrooms, which I've never had in other hot & sour soups. Felt a little misled with it, but I still enjoyed what it was. SERVICE: Timing of when you receive your food can be a little inconsistent, but nothing too bad. Faster than most places that have dumplings and noodles on the menu. Staff are friendly if you do interact with them. TLDR// Come here for a quick fix of decent dumplings. Not great, but good and fast. Would come back to satisfy a craving if I'm trying to not spend a lot of money. read more

Stopped by for the Soy Mango drink in the past, but haven't actually tried their food until recently. That Mango drink is really good by the way, I had it again and recommend it. This place satisfied my dumpling and wonton craving. Tried their Signature Dumpings and Spicy Wonton and was the perfect meal for me. Both items were simply good, no frills. I liked the texture of the wrapper on both. The dumplings were complemented by the self serve sauce concoction I made. The Spicy Wonton was dressed nicely and had good flavor. Service is friendly. Food came out fresh in about 10 min or so. Super busy at lunch, non stop customers in and out but lucky enough to beat the line. Will be back! read more

Dumplings were pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the kimchi dumplings, it tasted kind of salty. The signature was really juicy and flavorful. I liked dipping it in the soy sauce with vinegar rather than the sweet sauce. It wasn't as crispy as I thought it was going to be even though we ate it there. The food took awhile to come out even though there wasn't a lot of people there but service was good. Everyone was really sweet and friendly, all smiles. Decent quick meal but I wouldn't drive all the way up here just for that. I'd only stop by if I was in the area. read more

I pop in here for occasional Friday take out lunch. The cheaply priced fast-casual dumplings, potstickers, and noods are mightily attractive after all. I especially LOVE the scrumptious signature Bafang noodles. There are labeled as spicy, but only a tad, in the end. I pick up more peanut and sesame oil, pure umami goodness. The dumplings are not too bad either which are boiled and can be enjoyed later. They also have these frozen for special bulk order. The potstickers are pan-fried and therefore are best enjoyed almost immediately and with all the special sauces especially the black vinegar. It's nothing fancy, but that is precisely what makes it so likeable. Easy parking in the Village of Mira Mesa Plaza makes it a no brainer. read more

On the go while visitors where in town they saw Bafang and wanted to stop and give them a whirl. What's great is it's located in a giant shopping center so parking is never an issue. Originally from Taiwan they have built a fan base and branched out to the United States. Now with multiple locations spreading the handmade food with love around the world. The restaurant is more a sit down fast food style meaning you order on the kiosk or at the cashier and pick up the food at the counter when it is ready. Don't be fooled with the fast food service because unlike anything else the food is hand made from Centuries of traditions passed down from generations. The restaurant was large and open with plenty of tables for singles or large groups. The combination plates offer guest to try not only their hand made noodles and soups but their handmade dumplings and potstickers as well. You really can't go wrong when food is made with love. The potstickers are not your average shape long and skinny but still filled with flavor and a lovely crunch to expose the texture differences. The wrapper is light and is the perfect vessel to marry all the flavors. No matter your pallet you can make your dipping sauce to whatever your heart desires. I am a spicy savory kind of girl so I mixed the hot sauce with a little soy sauce and black vinegar. Next I had to try the dumplings. Made with a thicker skin then what your used to in the United Stated but the pillow pockets are filled with mouth watering fillings that are incredibly juicy. The handmade Bafang noodles are used in the three dishes I tried. I didn't think the Bafang signature noodles were spicy nor did I realize as I was hastily ordering the dish didn't have any vegetables or protein. I would highly recommend the beef dry noodles and Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The soup bowl Is almost as big as the tray which is amazing. The broth is filled with immense flavor which is a great representation of what each hand picked ingredient represents as you allow the bold flavors to surround your taste buds. The combination plates do come with mango black tea. For those who are not tea lovers they do have an assortment of boba milk teas or soda. If you're on the go they have quick grab and go containers as well as frozen dumplings in an assortment of flavors for you to enjoy at home. They even made sure to include those who live a meat free life with veggie dumplings. This was a great quick handmade meal and I look forward to trying rice bowls with pork belly. As well as the other potsticker/dumpling flavors. xiǎngshòu = enjoy! read more
