Came here on Sunday around 230pm ish and there were a lot of parking spots and tables available. It's very clean and cute restaurant. The service was quick and food came out fast too. Oolong boba milk tea was ok but it's less than 5 dollars so it's not bad for the price My favorite out of all was bafang noodles. The noodles were chewy and spice was good for me. Wish there was some proteins that came with it. My next favorite was spicy wonton but it's pretty small. But flavor was pretty good Chicken was just ok and so was potstickers. read more

We are so happy that ba fang opened in our neighborhood! The food here is awesome and so delicious! And it's so fast as well. Usually we will order for takeout, but eating in the store is also a great option. My favorites to order are the Taiwanese beef noodle soup, Kimchi, potstickers, the corn soup, and the signature noodles. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time, food was good specially veg pizza stickers. Spicy signature noodles were spicy, but I have to add garlic spicy sauce to enhance the flavor. Veg dumpling flavor was ok, but I think it was not too hot like I have tried other places. Location is good, lot of empty parking spots and also they sell frozen dumpling to try at home. It's a self serve, and service is not too bad. Will visit again to try new items from the menu. read more

The food is always amazing here. It's fast and fresh tasting. This is basically an Asian fast food place but the food is always fresh. Wish American fast food places were as fresh as this! Definitely go when it's raining because it's empty and quiet or go during the week. The service is fast and friendly as well. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Old Fashioned Noodle, 6 Signature Dumplings, 6 Signature Potstickers, Mala Beef Noodle Soup (Spicy) - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

I was worried the Mala BNS was gonna be too spicy but it wasn't! I thought the noodles were super flavorful which rarely happens anywhere. The broth was also complex and reminded me of my beloved boat noodles. Plenty of beef (fatty tender pieces too), healthy amount of cilantro and pickled veggies, and bok choy. Finally, I decided to also get the potstickers bc my eyes were gleaming with hunger. They're filled with delicious meat and veggies. I found it super yummy to dip it into the broth! I was so full afterwards. Prob didn't need to get the potstickers but it was just too good to skip. read more

Pushing my review up to 5 stars. Swung by with my daughter last night and ordered the veggie potstickers and signature noodles for me, and veggie dumplings for my daughter. After placing my order, made a run to BevMo to stock up on supplies, then headed back to Bafang. Our order was ready the moment we walked back through the door -- hot and fresh. My potstickers and noodles were excellent -- worth 5 stars for sure. My daughter really enjoyed her dumplings (she ate them all) and loved sharing my potstickers and noodles. We also enjoyed the garlic and chili sauces. I'll be back again and again -- so glad they have lots of plant-based options. read more

I've been here 2 or 3 times, I usually get Combo #1 with potstickers and hot and sour soup, or Combo #4 with potstickers and their signature noodle. I really like the potstickers, they're always hot, crispy, and flavorful (though a bit oily). The hot and sour soup is also good, though last time it was on the salty side. I tried their signature noodles for the first time and it was delicious, the noodles had a sesame flavor and the sauce was good. The beef noodle soup also looks good when I see other people order it, I'd definitely like to try that next time. It's usually fairly crowded when I go (last time we went was for dinner on a Friday), but the line moves quickly and there's usually open seating. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the combos. As somebody else mentioned, the machine does not ask for a tip which is very rare/refreshing these days. I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try! read more

I think we need more premium quick service ethnic restaurants like this one! Ambiance is simple, white, and clean. You're for the food, not for a dance club environment. Good tasty Taiwanese dumplings that have a delightful crunch at the bottom, but soft and chewy up top, and filled with a lovely blend of pork, cabbage, onion, and gawd knows what else. Not the best dumplings ever, but delicious! The wonton soup was simple, hot and savory, packed with wontons, and satisfying. All this for $14. What's really nice is that when you order, the cashier machine does NOT ask for a tip! What relief in this day in age of overtipping! Granted, there is no service...your order at the counter or table, pick up your own food when your buzzer goes off, and grab your own table and bus your own sauces and water. So it makes sense why there is no tip. For me, that makes this 4 star eatery into a 5 star eatery. (Side Note: I HATE it when food trucks as for tip...there is no service there, nor is there free water or bathrooms!) read more

Tuesdays: UCSD and SDSU ID holders get 10% off. It is located in the same lot as other really good restaurants and bakery. There will be plenty of parking available. When you walk it, it looks like a mall food court. You can order on a touch screen kiosk to the right or walk straight in and order at the counter. The menu is pretty simple and not too busy. They have plenty of seating for big or small groups. I ordered combo #8 because I wanted the pork chop. The pork chop was well seasoned. The noodle was bland and the noodles were over cooked. There is a sauce station near the exit with the water station, and you can add more of the sauce in the noodles but still felt very mediocre. I also added sesame oil but that didn't make a difference. Not bad but not good. The down fall for this meal this time was that although very thin, the pork was not cooked all the way through for the center pieces. Good thing I was looking while eating. The beef noodle soup was also pretty mediocre. It wasn't bad but wasn't great. They did taste like food court food. Their signature potstickers were also very normal. They were thin and not crispy or super juicy. Once again, they weren't bad but not out of the ordinary. There is an area where you place your empty dishes and trash so make sure to clean after yourself before leaving. This also made it feel like a food court. read more

For take out Chinese food, I thought it was quite good. I thought it was a little pricey, but I was so hungry after working out and really needed my dimpling fix so, I decided to give this place a chance. Their fried dumplings were very flavorful and crunchy. I also enjoyed their signature noodles. I hope you can give this place a chance. Don't compare it to DTF or something like that. read more

Pretty solid spot for fast casual taiwanese food! My friends and I came here for lunch and I like the variety on their menu. I highly recommend getting their signature dumplings, its very juicy. Their signature potstickers are good too but I personally got tired of eating it after like 4 of those (yknow when you eat too much fried food, tour mouth gets bored?). The fried chicken was tasty but I also got tired of it eventually. I appreciate the Soy Awesome drink, its soy milk with these toppings: egg pudding, grass jelly, red bean and taro (all of my favorite toppings in one drink). Kind of reminds me of Che Ba Mau (vietnamese dessert). read more

More of a fast casual restaurant, perfect if you're in the area and craving some tasty Chinese food! They have a nice dining area with plenty of tables, but it can get super packed (at least when I went on a Sunday). I ordered the signature noodles, which was yummy on its own but definitely needed something extra on the side (like dumplings, veggies, etc.). I don't think I adjusted much of the sweetness for my mango drink, which turned out to be way too sweet. I'll come back next time and probably go for 50% sweet or less. Prices are relatively reasonable for the area. Order came out very quickly for me, despite a long queue. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm a big fan of fast, casual restaurants. Bafang is a great choice when you want some dumplings and noodles but don't want to go to a sit down restaurant. Food (4/5): I tried the combo #4 which included 6 postickers and the signature noodles. The potstickers were pork and cabbage and while the bottom was crispy, my personal preference is for a thicker skin on dumplings. The signature noodles had a good chew. I didn't finish all the noodles, as it felt fairly oily and a bit one note after while. Service & Ambiance (5/5): Order on a screen and pick up your food when called. The food took a little longer than I had anticipated but not a big deal. Lots of tables. You pick up your own sauces and bus your table. There's a tray return at the back by the restrooms. read more

This was definitely one of the places that I had bookmarked to dine in. I'm always on the lookout for fast, casual restaurants, and I finally got to try this establishment. Bafang Dumpling's first installment in San Diego is situated in Mira Mesa. This place is the place to go to if you're craving Taiwanese dumplings, potstickers, noodles, and soup. Signature Potstickers and Dumpling - There was more cabbage than meat, and these didn't give as much flavor as I'd hoped. Wonton Soup - A simple dish with a flavorful broth. Chili Pepper Fried Chicken - This was just okay. Tip: If you're with someone, have them grab a table while you order since tables fill up quickly. Since we wanted to grab a table quickly, we didn't wait for someone to wipe down the table. I cleaned it myself with some napkins and hand sanitizer that was at the register. Trashcan is located at the back. I saw a lot of ppl who were headed to the front next to the sauce station, thinking there's a trashcan in that area. Since we were sitting nearby, we had to redirect ppl to the back where the trashcan was. Overall, this was an okay experience for me. read more

Tried this place on a Sunday evening at 6pm. It was fairly busy, all the tables were taken but eventually some people got up. You buy your food and then find a seat- it feels more like a takeout restaurant than a sit-down one. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the dumplings and food in general. I wasn't a huge fan of their dumplings and potstickers. They had some good flavoring in there, but I didn't love the textures of them. The potstickers didn't have a crunchy bottom and the dumplings were a little slimey/soft. Got the hot and sour soup and was also disappointed by this- it doesn't taste like a traditional Chinese hot and sour soup. Not hot or sour. My favorite dishes were the noodle dishes! If it weren't for the noodles I probably would've rated this place lower. The old fashioned noodles were soo yummy and tasty. The noodles are nice and chewy and flavoring is perfect. The pork chops are also good so if you get anything I would get the noodles and pork chops! I was also impressed by the soy wild mango drink. It tastes like a mango sago drink. read more

4/27/24. The bottom line is that they serve sensational snacks here. 4/10/24. Signature Potstickers ($11): the top of the noodle was crisped, while the bottom was nice and soft. The prominent flavors came from both the white and green onions. This reminded me of the Ling Ling chicken and veggie potstickers from Costco. Thus, this was a 3.5/5 stars for me. Chili Pepper Fried Chicken ($5.99): this was not spicy, and the batter had a medium thickness with an extra crunch. This seemed to be a Taiwanese version of kaarage chicken, 4/5 stars. Pork Chop ($8): the pork chop was juicy and tender with a light batter. The only knock was that this is a small portion. Nonetheless, this was a perfect pork chop, 5/5 stars! The potstickers took about 45 minutes to be served; however, the cashier apologized and provided a complimentary black iced tea. That thoughtful gesture made the wait bearable :) read more

This place is a bang for your buck! Super affordable dumpling spot. Most combo meals run about 12-$16 depending on what you get. The dumplings were good and well priced but imo not spectacular which is why it's 4/5- however with the price considered it's still great. The soup was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I'd definitely recommend the side order of spicy wontons, they were really good! The teas were also delicious if you want something refreshing! Service was fast and I like that they always have a self order kiosk if you don't want to wait for cashier. This is more so fast dining, the inside is big but this place seems to be packed nonstop around dinner time so it may be best or grab and go! read more

Visited 6/14/2024 Today I was looking through my going to eat here someday San Diego list and decided to give this place a try. I didn't have much faith that it would be much to brag about but you never know. First impression was a Food Court feel but something was different. It was 2:30pm and there was a mass amount of people crowding in the door. Every table was taken and people were watching for anyone to leave. I just had to find out what this place had to offer. It's a fairly large place with lots of seating and lots of parking. The Menu is not super large but enough to choose from. The prices were on point and the serving sizes were good. So far so good. As usual I ordered more than I could eat so I could sample a variety of the menu. I'm glad I did. I ordered, The #4 Combo meal. Signature Potstickers and Signature Noodles. Only $12.75 And The #6 Combo Meal with Bafang Dumpling Bowl and Corn Chowder. Only $13.50 12 Dumplings 4 of each Type. Also a Side Order of The Spicy Wonton's Only $5.50 Everything was so much better than I expected. First this place isn't known as the best Dumpling in SD. But they sell thousands of dumplings and potstickers every day. There were loads of people enjoying the food in the short time I was there today. That says a lot about this place. All I can say is I enjoyed everything I tried and will for sure come back again for more. I recommend giving it a try for less than it costs to eat at McDonalds https://www.bafangdumpling.com/ read more

I finally got to check out Bafang Dumpling and it did not disappoint! You order at the cash register or on their self-serve kiosk and you pick up your food once it's ready. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean and the cashier was helpful in answering all my questions. I got to try their fried chicken with spicy sauce on the side, old fashion noodles, corn chowder, and soy mango drink. The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy and moist since they use chicken thighs. I mixed all the sauces and dipped the chicken in it and it was seriously so delicious! The noodles were tasty and the corn chowder was fine but the star of the show was the soy mango boba. It was the perfect combination of being creamy and refreshing. I highly recommend you try it! The only downside was that they don't offer the veggie or chicken potstickers and dumplings as part of their combo deals. I definitely wanted to try them so I'll be back and I'll just have to order them a la carte. read more

Located in the Mira Mesa Mall where everything is opening up! If you want Din Tai Fung but do not want to wait hours, this is your spot. Service is friendly & quick. They have several combos if you want to try a variety of their most popular items, & they also sell frozen dumplings by bulk. #4- Signature Potstickers, Signature Noodle: The noodles are super flavorful. The potstickers are juicy inside with a nice crisp on the outside. Spicy Wonton: The wontons tasted as if they may have been overcooked because the outside was soggy & falling apart. Soy Wild Mango: Not too sweet but still good. Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup: Generous portion but the broth needed more flavor. read more

Total value for money here. Can't on a spontaneous anniversary dinner date because we had a last-minute change of plans. On a Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m. and the place was still full! We've seen a line at this place ever since it opened and I can totally see why! Got the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - REALLY DELICIOUS. It was hot and steamy but not piping hot where you can't drink it at all. The perfect hot temperature where you can slurp it down and actually enjoy the soup. Good amount of beef in there as well and the beef was very soft and flavorful on its own too. Appreciate that there was bok choy and definitely appreciate the volume! This was a really big bowl and a good one to split between two as well and try some other options on the menu. Bafang Special Dumplings (pork and cabbage) had quite a nice flavor. I was A little confused and thought it might be the kimchi and pork dumplings but these were different. It didn't have that kimchi tanginess. Also went really well with the garlic sauce. Veggie Potstickers - They had a nice flavor but I would have prefer the dumplings because these were a little too oily. Like I could see the amount of oil in the container and on the potstickers as well. And gave me a little bit of an uneasy feeling. read more

Bafang is a great place to visit for a simple meal! I ordered the Signature Potsticker + Signature Noodle combo (only $12.75). It's a great value deal, though I would love if they had options on the menu to add meat / vegetables on top or on the side since the noodles are pretty simple. The noodles were a little bit salty but my friend said that other times they've come it was okay, so maybe it depends on who's working. Potsticker portions are pretty generous with 6 large potstickers and were tasty. There's a large free parking lot outside and plenty of seating inside, but when it gets busy it may be harder to get seats for a larger group. It's a good spot to come hang out with your family or catch up with a friend! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Signature Potsticker + Signature Noodle combo - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

Date of most recent visit: February 3, 2024 Gyoza, mandu, potstickers... I love me a good dumpling, and I was excited to try out Bafang Dumpling's first San Diego location! The story behind the chain is a good one; the founder was a struggling mechanic in Taiwan, and in order to make ends meet, his wife would tutor kids in their home after school. She would cook dumplings for the students to munch on before lessons began... and when word got out about her cooking, the couple decided to open up a restaurant. Over 1300 locations in Asia later, Bafang Dumpling is now looking to expand into the US market. At Bafang, their potstickers are cooked on a griddle, giving them a rectangular shape while letting the bottom a crunchy texture. The traditional dumplings are cooked in boiling water, and have a unique shape that looks like yuan-bao (gold). Both are excellent, especially with the garlic sauce on the condiment/water cooler counter. On our most recent visit, my lady and I ordered the Soy Awesome (pudding, red bean, grass jelly, and taro) and Soy Tiger Boba drinks, both of which hit the spot. I've also had their hot and sour soup, and they nailed it (especially on a cold day). So, why the four-star (or in this case, 4.5 star) review? Easy... the wait times. On my first visit, it took me twenty minutes to receive my order of a Combo 1 (12 potstickers and a hot and sour soup - $12.75). On our most recent visit (6 potstickers, 6 dumplings and two drinks = a little over $20), it was 15 minutes, and we ended up dining outside as the place was PACKED. Not to mention the water station hadn't been filled. And yet, I'd still like to go back to try the noodles, the Taiwanese fried pork chop, the wonton soup, and xiao cai (side dishes). Looks like Bafang Dumpling is a winner in Mira Mesa! read more

Excited for this fast, casual dumpling spot in Mira Mesa! Service can be as quick as 15 minutes in and out, or as long as 30 min. My most recent visit was on a Friday night so it was packed, the line was out the door and I waited about 20min in line and 10 minutes waiting for the food. It seems very difficult to get a table so I always take my order to go. Definitely recommend getting some sauces from the sauce bar while waiting! They have black vinegar, chili sauce, garlic sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. it's not the cleanest area since it's always so busy. The food is quite tasty for being a fast casual spot. I thought I would not get full from the dumplings but I was wrong, they can be quite filling. The bafang dumpling bowl filled me up, especially since I ordered with soup. food ordered: - bafang dumpling bowl (combo 6): it is a nice combo to be able to try multiple flavors (chicken & corn - corn is very flavorful, signature - my favorite, had great succulent flavor, and kimchi pork - I liked it but wished the kimchi was more sour. It comes with a drink or soup and I chose hot and sour soup, it was surprisingly delicious and hearty! Plenty of tofu pieces, pork, and veggies. - bafang pork chop: pretty good pork chop, I enjoyed the flavor and breading, and comes with a few pickled veggies. I took this home and ate with the rice. - soy wild mango: a nice, light refreshing drink, a good amount of sweetness and not overly sweet read more

I have a friend who I regularly try new places with and when I saw this was coming I forwarded it to her. She is Taiwanese so I was looking forward to getting her opinion. We arrived and parked relatively easily. The line was short and we perused the menu while we waited. The room was big, bright, open & airy. I ordered the signature pot stickers with the hot and sour soup and a side of the fried chicken. She ordered the signature noodles and the pork chop with the lemon tea. A table opened up as we finished ordering so we went to sit down. The table was covered in sauce but there was no one tending to the dining room. We had to ask to get the table wiped down. After a wait, someone came and cleaned the table. We grabbed various sauces and sat at the table. Our buzzers went off and we collected our orders along with chopsticks and napkins. I really enjoyed the pot stickers, she was less impressed. I thought they were flavorful. The hot and sour soup was hot in temperature and flavor but not too hot. Next, I tried the fried chicken it was lightly crunchy and juicy. The dipping sauce had a lot of flavor and a bit of spice as well. My friend said the signature noodles were bland, I tried them and agreed. The pork chop was similar to the chicken with a different breading. I would give it 3.5 stars if half stars were an option. We liked our meal and agreed if we were in the area we would come here again to try other items, but it likely wouldn't be a destination trip for us as there are places we like better. read more

New dumpling place in Mira Mesa. So you order at the counter, grab a buzzer, and pick up your food when ready. There is ample seating but gets full during peak lunch time hours. Reminds me of a food court. There is a sauce station where you can get your own dipping sauces. I was surprised to see that food were reasonable priced. I mean I got a 6 order of dumplings with a boba drink for a little over $10! That's unheard of these days. I'd definitely come back here for a quick snack or lunch. read more

I remember when I first moved to Mira Mesa there was a 4 screen movie theatre here.  I spent lots of evenings here.  Now there is Bafang Dumplings. Mini won ton soup had cute mini sized won tons.  Loved the meat which appeared to be marinated pork.  The soup was tasty and likely loaded with msg as I was pretty thirst afterwards. Pork chop was breaded and had the bone removed.  Flavor was ok.  I think I'll go for 2 won ton soups next time. 2nd visit I ordered the Bafang dumpling combo with won ton soup.  Dumpling texture was interesting.  One side was pan seared and the other wasn't.  It was a little chewy.  My favorite dumpling texture is deep fried with the skin crispy all the way around.  Loved the flavor of the filling which was part pork and the rest cabbage. Mini won ton soup was delicious and salty just like my first visit. 3rd visit I tried the beef noodle soup.  Noodles were smooth and had a mild flavor.  Bok choy was fresh and crunchy.  Beef was mostly tender except for one piece that was 25% tendon and hard.  Daikon was soft and had a mild flavor.  I liked the flavor of the broth and there was a good amount of beef in this dish. Bafang Dumplings is pretty good.  I'd visit again if I need a break from my go to spots.  I prefer the won ton soup at Golden Chopsticks and I prefer the fried dumplings at Khan's Cave. read more

I ordered combo #4 for the potstickers and noodles. There was almost no wait when I went but it took a while for the food to be ready. The food comes in what looks like to-go containers, which does make it easier to take home if you aren't able to finish it all. The potstickers are crispy and savory and you can mix your own sauces to dip them in. The noodles were a little spicy, but very nice to eat with the potstickers. read more

Came here on a Friday for dinner. The line was out the door. We waited probably 20-30min in line. You order at the counter and it's self seating. Since it was very busy, seating was kind of crazy with people trying to grab the next available table. We had a party of 2 and managed to grab two seats at the large table in the middle. We ordered combo 4 with the signature potstickers and signature noodles, and combo 6 with the Bafang dumpling bowl and corn chowder. We also ordered another side of hot and sour soup. The bafang dumpling bowl came with 3 types of dumplings, bafang signature, kimchi + pork and corn + veggie. I enjoyed all three but my favorite was probably the kimchi and pork. The potstickers were good but nothing super special. The noodles were very savory and I liked the texture of the noodles. Both soups were super tasty. I really enjoyed the corn chowder. The hot and sour soup was super hot but very good. I was actually surprised at how long it stayed hot for. I burned my tongue for not being patient enough haha. There is also a sauce station against the wall by the entrance. They had a small selection of sauces you can mix for your dumplings. It can get a little cramped around the area during busy times. Overall I enjoyed our meal here. I would like to come back again to try more items on the menu. It was a bit too crowded when we went so I would recommend going a different time/day unless you don't mind all the people. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Bafang dumpling bowl, signature potstickers, signature noodles, corn chowder and hot and sour soup. - Taiwanese Near Me - San Diego, California

Newly opened Bafang Dumplings in the Mira Mesa Mall adds another asian speciality to the growing landscape. Bafang Dumpling provides a very simplified menu with the options of combos or a la carte. The highlights of Bafang are of course their dumplings and potstickers. I opted to go for the potstickers combo which includes soup or drink. I went with the hot and sour soup as it's one of my favorite soups. The potstickers were ok but lacked alot of flavor as you really need to add sauces to it to get it to your liking. Similarily with the Hot Sour Soup, I had to add soy sauce, vinegar and garlic sauce to give it more dimension. Both items fell a little flat for me as I had to really add sauce to extract any flavor out of them. On the upside, the service was great and there was plenty of parking and seating. Not sure if I would come back as the food lacked any flavor and was just not memorable for me. read more

The hype is real... Real long as in- the line goes all the way to Panda Express! Once you make it inside, it's a mad house with sauces on the floor from leaking bottles and people are literally running around trying to find a spot to dine in. Note, you'll have a better experience if you take it home. The ordering process is what is currently slowing this place down. They have kiosks available but aren't up yet. The staff work diligently to process orders and keep hungry customers happy. The food is prepared fresh and you can taste it. They do have a frozen option for their dumplings though I didn't see anyone taking any home... Why would you?! More work right!? Service is great. The manager is friendly and welcoming. Tables are clean as well as the restroom. Spotless. I tried: Combo 2 Combo 5 Combo 8 Lemon tea All were delicious and with the extra sauce that I managed to get into cups were amazing. Maybe they can add a few dedicated patio tables so that guests can enjoy their food while it's fresh. 4.5 stars since there's still room for improvement. With this location open, you no longer have to visit Convoy or UTC for your dumpling fix. Be back soon. read more
