    of Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Ivy C.

    Spacious and bright dining area. Plenty of parking available outside. Minimum services, it's not the fancy sit down with someone waiting you kind of restaurant. It serves the Taiwanese potstickers just like how they are made in Taiwan. I've also tried their noodles and the new dish, Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice. It's currently offering free soda with the Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice. Super convenient to order online in advance for pickup orders.

    Bafang Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
    Samuel C.

    Bafang Dumplings was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There are some strong items here, but also a few areas that could use improvement. The Beef Noodle Soup - 2/5. This dish was the biggest disappointment - the beef felt like the wrong cut, coming out too tough and under-seasoned. That said, the soup itself was actually decent and had a nice base, so it wasn't a total miss. It's also the most expensive item on the menu. Signature Noodles - 4/5. On the brighter side, this signature dry noodles dish is good. The dish had a rich, nutty flavor sauce that I really enjoyed, though there was a noticeable aftertaste that didn't quite work for me. That part feels subjective, and overall the dish is still solid. Signature Potstickers 4/5 - I had many potstickers in the Greater LA area, including some of the Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley area. I find some potstickers with thick and doughy wrappers. So I am pleasantly surprised to find that Bafang's pan-fried dumplings have a silky, thin yet firm wrapper. The filling is okay, wish has more filling and juicer. I just wish the bottoms were crispier to really elevate them. I wish that their dipping sauces are better. I am nitpicking here. Overall, I enjoy their potstickers.

    Taiwanese casual fast foods. If you're a regular dumpling & noodles person in the U.S., you may appreciate all convenient Bafang Dumpling locations popping up in recent years. Modern and clean inside. You can list pick your order or go with their combination sets on the menu. This location's public restrooms were in very good to excellent condition. Spacious too. Cashier is helpful. Lighting in this building is bright. Feels airy and comfortable inside. Grab your own order and condiments. Self service. Tipping optional. We tried the regular steamed dumplings and hot & sour soup. Good ingredients. Tasted delicious. Taiwanese beef noodle soup was good too. Generous veggies. We enjoy dipping dumplings into anything with vinegar, so it worked out great. Plenty of sauces. Bafang Dumpling in the U.S. isn't a Din Tai Fung or other authentic premium dumpling houses. Bafang is catered to the American fast foods market. Convenient and satisfying. This Torrance location was very quiet during lunchtime on weekdays. They no longer sell boba milk tea beverages here. Food prices have gone up with inflation. Overall, decent fast foods here.

    Torrance Food Crawl #438 Bafang Dumpling is a giant in Taiwan, with almost 1300 locations there, and gradually expanding to the U.S. market, with 13 locations at the time that I write this. I've been to three BD locations, and all of them are very similar in general atmosphere and operations. Dumplings are their claim to fame. They're available in four flavors: their Signature Dumpling, Kimchi & Pork, Corn & Chicken, and Veggie. I've had their Signature Dumplings and the Corn & Chicken Dumplings, and both were very good. Dumplings are not one of my 'go-to' items, but these were fine. They also offer bags of frozen dumplings that you can take home and warm up. One food item that you might not expect, based on the name of this place, is the soups. I've tried two of them, Mala Beef Noodle soup and Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup. Both were served hot, with lots of beef, and a good-tasting broth and noodles. On a cold day these are well worth considering. The potstickers were fine, nothing noteworthy. The Corn Chowder soup was typical of Asian takes on this item, however, I have to say I prefer the Southwestern US versions of Corn Chowder which seem more hearty and have more flavor. The Bafang Signature Noodles were a disappointment, with a sauce that I couldn't identify but one that I would definitely skip next time. There are also a variety of pre-made side dishes at the counter, and be sure to look at them as many seem quite appealing. The interior was clean, bright, with lots of tables available for seating. The tables and chairs are wooden and not only look nice but are also comfortable. The service at the counter was about what you would expect, polite and without any controversy.

    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice - YUM

    We've passed by another location of this chain & have been curious about it. So when I needed to go to Penzey's next door, this was an easy choice for a late lunch. Their fast casual setup made ordering fast & easy. I was impressed that their credit card processing terminal didn't ask for a tip or even give a choice for one to be added manually. Maybe because they also had a tray return area with trash cans that customers could use. Service was very efficient & friendly. There were plenty of seats open, so we placed our order & sat waiting for our buzzer to go off. Everything came out fast, fresh & very hot, yet not suspiciously fast like any of it was sitting around waiting for us. It was all so yummy, we would never have thought such quality came from this casual of a chain. Pork Chop w/braised pork belly - the pork chop was very tender, the pork belly pieces were small & a really small amount. The sauce on the rice mixed with the pickled veg & cucumber was good w/the meats. Combo #1 - original pork dumplings w/either a soup or soda. These dumplings had super thin skins & a tender meaty filling. We were trying to figure out whether they're made in house bc as thin as the skins are, no way could these be intact if they were frozen & tossed in a bag. The sauce station has dispensers of sesame oil, black vinegar, garlic, soy sauce & hot sauce for you to mix to your personal preference. They do offer bags of frozen dumplings to take home; we saw the corn & chicken and the vegetarian varieties. The pics on the bags looked like rounded, sturdier shaped dumplings vs the rectangular, more delicate skinned versions made for eating there or taking out. This is a legit, reasonably priced ($26.19 for these 2 dishes) dumpling & noodle place. Chain or not, it deserves repeat visits & my high recommendations!

    Taiwanese beef noodle soup was very good. Beef cooked to be very tender in the soup, ample amount of pickled vegetables, noodles, and a couple of large pieces of daikon radish. Signature potstickers were a little small, but had a clean flavor. Counter service. Didn't ask for tips so that's a nice change of pace

    Beef  braised noodle  soup  huge portions.

    The portion was huge and large pieces of meat. For the braised noodles soup. A must have.

    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Regina L.

    I enjoyed the fast service and quality of food at Bafang. The prices are pretty reasonable too, the most expensive dish was the beef noodle soup at ~$17 but it was huge. My favorite was the beef noodle soup and the pork chop with braised pork rice, it was hearty and filling. There was plenty of seating when I went, mostly tables for 2 or 4 people and one larger table. Highly recommend!

    Just an update to my previous review. I still love this place. Dumplings and noodles are good as usual. 5 stars for being a casual, low-key, relaxed dining spot. No issues with service other than the occasional missed order when I doordash it, but it is always met with an immediate comp or replacement and apology -- they're busy, I get it. One time we had our milk tea burst in the bag (door dashers amirite?) and they refunded us without asking for proof. I already took the pictures in preparation of that phone call, but I'll still show it here. So 5 stars for great customer service! We...... still drank the milk tea in that grocery bag LOL . You're allowed to judge me :) go ahead.

    Missing order, I needed drive back again when I got home after found out missed potstickers. This has been happened many times before

    Missing item again!! This place needs to have better staffs, not acceptable I need to drive back and forth, and my dumpling got all cold and sticky after I got my items

    Variety of different sauces (ginger sauce, soy sauce, black vinegar (that didn't taste/smell like black vinegar), sesame seed oil, sriracha)

    My friends and I ordered take out from here yesterday and got the mala noodles and pork and kimchi dumplings for myself. Everything was neatly packaged so that was nice. The dumplings are pretty good with a great price point but they don't really have dumpling sauce specifically----although they do have a large variety of sauces. I guess you can dip the dumplings in soy sauce. The noodles were way overpriced for what they gave you. The mala wasn't spicy at all and that was a little disappointing. The portion was decent but it also doesn't come with any veggies (besides green onion as a garnish) or protein (thank god for the dumplings) so it didn't feel satisfying as a meal. I also felt like the portion was a bit small for the price and I guess could be a good appetizer? I can't touch on the service or ambiance because I wasn't there to pick up the food. All in all, it was an okay spot for a meal but I wouldn't go out of my way nor would I feel compelled to order from here unless it was the only thing open in the area. Oh, also, a side note---my friend ordered signature noodle but she said it tasted like there was a bit of mala (she said it numbed her tongue a little and she didn't like it). When I tried it, it just tasted like sesame and peanuts to me even though the allergens don't list peanuts anywhere.

    For their grand opening, they are open from 10a- 10p. Not sure if that's their permanent hours

I got there close to 6pm and everyone was so nice. The lady that took my order was friendly and welcoming. I got their Mango Sticky Matcha. It was pretty interesting. Loved that it has a rich matcha flavor and mango sticky flavor didn't overpower the drink. If anything, it complimented well with the matcha. I love it and would absolutely order it again. Unfortunately, they didn't have any pastries left other than a couple bagels. I wanted to try their croissants but maybe next time when I'm in the area again. The place is super clean and organized. They have a wifi, an outlet, a couple tables for single or multiple customers as well as comfy couches. The restroom was also clean and smells great. Highly recommend this place. Not only was I able to complete so many tasks but was also able to just relax. Loved the vibe here!

I ordered their summer special, the HK Matcha Latte, made with matcha, milk, brown sugar, and of course grass jelly. It was smooth, refreshing, and the perfect drink for a warm day. My husband customized his own fruit-infused tea with lychee jelly and salted cold foam, and he really enjoyed his combination as well. The shop has a handful of small tables and seats, and we got to relax and enjoy our drinks. Keep in mind that the tables are on the smaller side. If you're planning to work or study there, you'll probably only have enough room for a laptop and not much else. Overall, it's a great addition to our boba rotation.

I got the Avocado Coconut Cream and It was just so perfect!! The avocado flavor was subtle, creamy, and tasted fresh, while the coconut added the perfect touch of sweetness -- such a perfect balance between flavors without overpowering one another. What I appreciated most was the texture of the drink, most smoothies I've tried from boba shops have been milky or just straight ice, however at Presotea I like how thick and creamy it was without melting too fast. I was able to enjoy my drink over some time without feeling rushed to finish it before it went bad. I'd also like to add that what made my experience so much better was the quality of service! Before going with my drink, I took some time debating between two other drinks and Dave, who took our order, suggested the Avocado Coconut Cloud! Not only was he patient with me but also so knowledgeable about what drink I would enjoy the most based on preferences I gave him. I saw that he also handled making my drink and you can definitely tell that the order was handled with care. Big ups to him :)
