Ordered: - Pork chop with braised pork belly rice + 6 signature potstickers limited combo (5/5): Saw this promotion and had to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. The braised pork belly rice was a standout here and tasted super authentic. The flavors of the braised pork were perfect and elevated when soaked into the rice. The provided pickled veggies were also perfect to cut through the heavy flavors. The pork chop was tender and juicy. After the signature pot stickers I was completely stuffed. They're still running this past July 31st, which makes this a must try in my opinion! - Signature dumplings and corn chowder (4/5) - We love how clean the dumplings taste and how meaty they are. They pair perfectly with the garlic sauce or with vinegar and soy sauce, depending on preference. Overall (5/5): A solid new spot in the Tawa Gateway plaza for a quick affordable and tasty meal. There's plenty of seating and the ordering experience is smooth. It was pretty busy when we went for an early dinner but it wasn't too loud. Given the recent heat wave we also really appreciate that it's pretty cool in there! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Super excited to see Bafang Dumpling expand into the TAWA Mall! If you've never had it, it's a super popular Taiwanese fast-casual chain known for its classic potstickers and dumplings. Here's a quick breakdown of the experience: The Food: We went with a combo set featuring a mix of potstickers and steamed dumplings, paired with a bowl of hot & sour soup. The potstickers had a nice crisp bottom, and the soup hit the spot. If you love them enough to cook at home, they also sell frozen packs to-go, which is super convenient. The Setup: The whole operation is 100% self-service. You place your order at the counter/kiosk first, grab a number/buzzer, pick up your tray when it's ready, and find an open table to sit and eat. Service & Wait Time: The staff was friendly and the service was good overall. The only slight downside was that the food came out a bit on the slower side, but everything was fresh and piping hot when we got it. Definitely a great addition to the mall food scene. Perfect for a casual lunch or grabbing some frozen dumplings for a rainy day! read more

I'm giving this place a one star due to order performance of the cashier. I asked the combo #3 and repeated three times and the cashier placed Combo #1. The foods were good. Wish they have more combinations. The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup should have a combination also. read more

Bafang Dumpling - I ordered Combo #3 and the cashier placed combo #1. - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Not a bad location in San Gabriel, staff is friendly and a cool vibe. More of a fast food venue, potstickers were soft and mushy lacking and crisp. Soup and beef was a bit salty for my pallet. read more

Signature potstickers are tasty and freshly cooked as usual. Price of their sets are reasonable. Beef noodle is just ok. Some of the beef chunks are a bit hard to chew for me and it's not as flavorful as I'd hope. The noodles are good though. For the same price I think Northern Cafe beef noodles is better. It's a spacious location with nice decor and lots of seats. As to service, it's self service so remember to clean after yourself after you are done. read more

6/25/26 Decided to venture out & see what this newly opened shop is about. The place looks a good size for dining with clean & modern furnishings. The staff are friendly & accommodating. I ordered their special noodles & dumplings which took about 15 minutes (take out). The noodles were al dente & the dumplings were flavorful. I imagine myself dining in here in the near future due to good food, service and ambiance. It looks like a comfortable place to eat. read more

Bafang Dumpling - 6/25/26 Going on a tour at TAWA Gateway, new Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Waited super long for our foods. People that came after us ended up getting their foods first. Smh Pot stickers were good. Both originals & Kimchi were done well. The wontons were overly salty. The sig noodles were decent. If it was just me, I would have asked for a refund and leave. The place wasn't busy. We couldn't decide on what to order so we let a group go in front of us. Like 3 people. It was fine that they got their foods first since they ordered first. However, 2-3 people came after us. 2 people got their foods before us and one person got their foods around the same time as us WTH?? I doubt I will return. read more

Nice to see Ba Fang opened in the Tawa plaza, right next to marugame udon. The food was good and consistent in quality and flavor compared to the other locations. They do not have black lemon tea at this location. I usually get the original pork potstickers. For this visit, I ordered the chicken and corn potsticker and enjoy it better. The order did take a little longer I think because not many people order this verison. Overall staff was nice and service was great. read more

I don't really eat meat or chicken but since they have veggie options available, stopped by and checked them out since was in the area. I ordered the dumplings and potstickers combo with a corn chowder soup. All was pretty good but soup was more in the sweet side for my palate. Would definitely come here again and re-order the same thing tho! Staff were super nice and bathrooms are clean. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend! read more

Visited on Friday - Grand opening day. Got a free Bafang T-shirt and Combo voucher valid for the next 30 days. I spent $35 and received a Bafang cooler bag. This is what I ordered: Pork chop with braised pork belly rice - Recommend Spicy Wonton - Better at DTF Corn Chowder - This is GOOD STUFF. Definitely Reorder on Next Visit! Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - Pass. Meat was chewy, not tender. I waited about 25 minutes from opening. Overall, good experience. Looking forward to redeeming my combo voucher. read more

Stopped by the grand opening of Bangfang Dumpling's new location in San Gabriel Plaza and had a great first experience! I've been watching this spot under construction for over a year, so it was exciting to finally see it open. They were also running some grand opening promotions, including T-shirts (small sizes only), coupons for the first 100 paying customers, and a free lunch bag with a $35+ purchase. If you're in the area this weekend, it's definitely worth checking out. And they are doing a balloon making for people especially kids also :) As the name suggests, dumplings are the star of the menu. These are Taiwanese-style dumplings, which are a bit different from the Northeastern Chinese dumplings I grew up eating, but they were still very tasty. They offer both boiled and pan-fried options, with several meat fillings as well as vegetarian choices. Beyond dumplings, they also serve a variety of rice dishes. I especially recommend the braised pork rice, which was flavorful and satisfying. You can also purchase frozen dumplings to take home--around $12 for a bag of 20--which is a nice option if you want to cook them yourself later. The service is mostly self-serve. You place your order, receive a notification device, and pick up your food when it's ready. Seating is first come, first served. Since it was opening weekend and quite busy, I didn't notice much table cleaning during my visit, but the restaurant overall felt clean and well maintained. The space is bright, modern, and welcoming. Overall, a solid addition to San Gabriel Plaza and a great lunch spot if you're nearby! read more

What a good deal. Rice bowl and dumplings for $14. I've only tried their signature dumplings and it's great. Their minced pork rice bowl and pork belly was sooo good. Service was friendly. The music was a bit on the louder side. read more

Bafang dumplings are quality. They have some new combo options that make it a pretty good deal. The pork and kimchi dumplings are my favorite. read more

Food is cheap and pretty good. There aren't many options available though. The main difference is in the one of two sauces available for the noodles and the fillings for the dumplings. The downside is that there aren't many options available for vegetables. The only thing I would say is bad is the wonton soup because the wontons have been sitting in there for a while before you get it, so it falls apart. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Inside - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Another Bafang and it has solid food. I love that their potstickers are folded the authentic way and rectangular and that they have a vege line! The filling isn't just all vegetables and has protein and the skin is green. Some of their noodles are vegetarian also. I wish they had more drink options but the plaza has good ones at other stores. There is plenty of seating and you can get your own soy sauce, chili, vinegar at their sauce station. All the bowls are disposable besides for the beef noodle soup so easy clean up. read more

Taiwanese fast food at its best! The person at the register was super helpful, gave me options for the combos instead of asking what I would like. Love that. There are plenty of seatings. Food tasted great. read more

Of course it's currently all over SM, TAWA gateway needs to get the name out to justify the high cost of leases at this dying plaza. I'm going to preface with the good. The cashier today was a middle aged gentleman who was very kind and helpful! He greeted everyone with a huge smile and was happy to answer any questions. Great Job! We've tried Bafang at the Santa Anita Mall and agree that so far all their food is just mid overall but since it's on the more affordable end, I'd like to continue to sample their menu until I find something I actually enjoy. We got the #4 Bafang signature noodles and signature potstickers. Signature noodles were soooo bland! like coated in mala chili oil at best. maybe they forgot the other seasonings? I don't know, but it was bland. Luckily we had complimentary condiments to save the dish!! however; I hope that wasn't the intended way of eating this.. if so, why is it a "signature"? The noodle texture was really the only thing good about this dish. The signature potstickers were good, nice filling, wrapper was nice and thin, super flavorful and juicy. Could have been fried crispier but it was good overall. The Beef Signature Noodles was the favorite of the night. It did delay our entire order by about 10mins... we sat at our table watching 3 groups of guests getting their food before ours. I finally went up to ask about our order and was able to pick up the #4 combo while they finished up with the noodle soup dish. when it was ready, they brought it to our table. It didn't look like much initially since everything was hidden under the brown broth. Once we dug in, we found 4 generous slices of beef that were nice and tender! The broth was very nice and flavorful as well. The only complaint I have about this dish is there just wasn't enough noodles for the portion of everything else in the dish. Would I go back? Meh... only if I really want some dumplings maybe or if I'm not starving and want to try something new. Otherwise, I'd rather eat next door at Marugame! PSA: CA does not allow pets outside of service animals inside any food establishments! Why do ppl still try knowing they are NOT allowed! I'm so thankful the cashier approached them to remove them from the dining area. You are also not allowed to smoke within 20ft of any eating establishments but the clientele in the area are just so selfish. read more

Never come to this location!! -Restroom is disgusting. One had pee on the seat and floor and the other had a piece of poop on the tank lid (how??) and poop smears on the seat. -Waited 45 minutes just for one out of two items to come out cold -Literally ran by teenagers, not one older adult seen working, around 7pm -Extremely slow, watched multiple parties walk up to ask about their orders -Dumplings itself were extremely oily that not even the garlic sauce could mask it Do better. read more

3.5 stars. Pick up was easy. Service was not bad. Like that it's spacious. The Temple City location was small-ish. Sauces are self service. Honestly, their food is alright. The noodles are too soft for me. I've tried two soups and didn't care for either. FOOD: Pork Chop 4.25/5 I like the picked veggies (daikon & cucumber). The pork chop itself is not bad. Not the best I ever have, but it's fine. 6 Veggie Dumplings 4/5 It's fine Spicy (Mala) Noodle 3.9/5 It's just spicy. No mala. We added soy sauce to make it more palatable. Sesame Noodle 3.9/9 It was alright. Hot n Sour Soup 3/5 Tastes mediocre to me read more

Came for their grand opening. Waited about 20-30 mins we had heard by everyone in line and online about Spicy beef dry noodle, we're pretty disappointed that they didn't have it available. Especially for a grand opening. At least make a sign or cover it because almost 7 people in front of us ordered the same thing and all were disappointed. The lady manager basically brushed it off. We ordered spicy noodles, pork chops, crispy chicken, and kimchi potstickers.. another employee who was very nice brought us our food and apologized for the wait and for not having the popular dish. I believe his name is Sherwin something like that. HIS customer service was very good and appreciated. Everyone working there especially for a grand opening needs to embody his customer service. Restaurant was bright and inviting. I enjoyed the sour soup and my wife enjoyed the potstickers and won ton soup. The noodles were ok. We thought the pork chops should have been crispier but also were told by people who have been there before that's how it is served. We were given a t shirt, bag, and voucher for being in the first 100. read more

Good quality traditional Taiwanese food is a bit harder to find these days. Though bafang is a bit closer to a chain with all their locations, they seem to be doing something right as IMO the food is pretty good, especially the vegetarian options! For vegetarians, they have the bafang dumplings and the traditional style dumplings along with the dry noodles (basically just not the noodle soups/their signature items). The food is usually a hit with my kids which makes it a good spot for the picky eaters or those that love noddles and dumplings. If you enjoy it enough, they do have frozen dumplings available, price may vary but it's about 50pcs for 28$ ish (not too bad). The place is recently opened so it's clean looking along with the bathrooms. As this is located in the tawa gateway plaza, parking is generally plentiful (don't overlook the underground parking garage!). read more

Overall phenomenal food and experience. Great customer service. Ambiance is on point!

Great food! Grabbed the Spicy Wonton for takeout and surprised by how good they are. Great sized dining room, music is great, and the manager Sherwin is super nice as well. 10/10 recommend :) read more

For just opening, this place was really good for a dumpling spot. Their signature dumpling was really good and it fairly priced, especially for their combos. The #3 combo I feel I like the most. Also staff was super nice and store was clean. Aaron was also super nice despite it being our first time. Overall, pretty good spot that i will absolutely consider returning to read more

I was there for lunch today and was quite disappointed. Service was slow. The food was so so. The cashier was grumpy and rude. She was taking the orders, handling money and wrapping dumplings all at the same time. Not only is she handling the food without gloves, she's touching money and coins!! read more

FRIENDLY STAFF EXCEPT THAT ONE CASHIER The cashier working at the front was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude toward customers. She barely smiled or greeted anyone and seemed unfriendly with almost every customer who came into the restaurant. Whenever customers asked for something, she would slam the trays and dishes down in a very disrespectful and unprofessional way. She was the only employee with this attitude. The guy working the front register and everyone in the kitchen were friendly and polite. Girl, if you think you're tired, so is everyone else. You can't be this rude and unprofessional when your job is customer service. If you hate talking to people, then customer service isn't the right job for you. Don't take your frustration out on customers. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed her attitude. read more

Dear Management I went to this place last Wednesday the taste is good environment the best minus air conditioner in a scorching heat. I went back today, July 7. and it surprised me that the taste is different when I was here last Wednesday, I ordered number seven it comes with noodle and wonton soup for sight dishes, I order potsticker, the soup is not as tasty as last Wednesday the noodle is not as spicy as last Wednesday and above all the potsticker taste off. I hope from visiting this place I don't get any digestion problem. Would you please fix the air conditioner and please make the food consistently taste the same place is nice. Restroom is clean condiment is the best, services are great. read more

I love this place! When I heard they were opening up this one near me I was thrilled! Close to the house and great comforting food!

Dined in for dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful and the seating area was nice and clean! Ordered signature potsticker, veggie potsticker, and chicken & corn dumpling which were all delicious! Also received the cooler bags and raffle for grand opening. There's also a special offer for gift card purchase where you get a pork chop rice bowl with $100 purchase! Not sure if Bafang discontinued their drinks like Soy Mango, do wish they had it since they were delicious! read more

As a huge fan of potstickers and noodles, this place definitely hit the spot! They even have combos if you have trouble choosing. I ended up trying their signature noodles with potstickers. The noodles were perfectly seasoned (similar to chili oil noodles) and the potstickers were light and between soft and crunchy, which is perfect for a snack. Service was amazing! There's also ample spaces of seating. read more

We know we came in a little late, around 9:40PM. As soon as we walked in, we politely asked the lady at the front if they were still taking orders. My friend and I are pretty sure she heard us, but she ignored us 2-3 times and kept talking to the guy in the kitchen until we had to stand right in front of her. When she finally turned around, we both saw her roll her eyes at us, which was extremely rude. If you don't want to serve us, just say, "Sorry, we're closed." Is that really that difficult? I'm not complaining about the food, but the service was really rude and unprofessional. 8/18/2026 read more
