    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.

    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

    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.

    First time going. Wasnt what we expected, but it worked out. Fast casual dumpling chain. Popular, busy, lively. Service was nice, accurate, and quick. Food was as expected once we learned the concept. Fountain drinks and kid friendly too

    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.

    Potstickers and corn chowder
    Jimmy S.

    Pretty good Taiwanese chain place for dumplings and potstickers. Their combos give you a lot of choices and variety for potstickers, dumplings, and noodles. Their corn chowder and hot and sour soup is very soothing and homely. the potstickers and dumplings are very good and the garlic, soy and other sauces are easy to grab and access. The service is a tad bit slow and you bus your own table.

    Potsticker
    Mr S.

    It tasted good. Not too filling for the cost in my opinion. I like big portions. This is like a cute thing to try on a date where you can feed a dumpling to the other and laugh when it slips off the chopstick. If I'm at a county fair or night market where we're exploring different foods to try, I can see it. But why would I choose to eat out at a place with high priced noodles and gyozas? Maybe I'm aging but I don't see the appeal. The music playing on the speaker was obnoxiously loud so it was difficult to have a conversation without yelling "WHAT DID YOU SAY??". There isn't much to say about service when we have to bus our own trays. The water cups are tiny too. Had to get up 4 - 5 times to refill waters at our table.

    Garlic noodles
    Kimberly J.

    Very casual spot - order & pickup food at the counter so it gives the feel of a mall food court. Decent food, but not impressive. Find and clean your own table. Sauces were available and all self service. Food was decent, but not traditional. Potstickers were very light, the garlic noodles not super garlicky. The hot & sour soup was neither hot (spicy) nor sour. Teas were already sweetened. My daughter liked it, but I guess I might have more of a traditional dumpling palate- I'm looking for deeper, savory broth and flavors inside a dumpling. So mixed reviews on this one.

    beef noodle - decent. Pork chop - not good at all.
    Jasmine S.

    I'd heard a lot of good things about Bafang when it first opened in the 626 area, with many praising it as a great spot for "fast food" style Chinese/Taiwanese cuisine. So, I was excited to finally try it at their new Torrance location. Unfortunately, it turned out to be more of a "fast food" experience in the worst sense, with low-quality food that didn't live up to the hype. We ordered the beef noodle soup--3 stars. It wasn't bad, but it lacked flavor, and the portion was smaller than expected. I also tried the pork chop, and honestly, it tasted like something you'd get on an airplane--except this time, I had to pay for it! The chicken was rubbery, and I found myself wondering if it was some kind of bio-engineered meat. I didn't bother finishing it because it didn't taste like chicken at all. Overall, the meal was a letdown, and it definitely didn't meet my expectations. I won't be coming back to this place.

    Order beeper and chopsticks.

    Welcome to Torrance, Bafang!!! So happy to try you today. Huge location, which could fit additional tables, in my opinion. Love how Yelp offers the approximate waiting time each operating hour. Bafang offers a Dumplings sampler bowl in a combo but not a Potsticker sampler. Not fair. I really would have liked to try a sampler of all potstickers. My friend ordered the Dumpling Sampler with Hot & Sour Soup. I ordered #6 6 Signature Potstickers and Signature Noodle Bowl. They take online orders as well as offer frozen items too. Sauce station had soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and garlic sauce. There were also bottles of chili sauce. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Ok, bye.

The peach fruit tea wasn't quite my thing. It came with A LOT of fruit bits (I'm pretty sure they were pears), which might be great if you enjoy that texture, but for me it made it hard to actually enjoy the drink. It was really lacking on the peach flavor but having to work around all the fruit took away from it. Overall, a decent stop if you're in the area and like fruit-forward drinks with real fruit pieces...just something to keep in mind depending on your preference.

The addition of salty cream is highly recommended to balance the somewhat nutty and decadent flavor, plus the oat milk pronounces the sweetness by a touch (8.5/10) Strawberry matcha with oat milk: this is one of their most popular drinks; the matcha tasted very strong and high-quality, but the strawberry jam at the bottom is SUPER sweet in contrast--make sure to mix it all, but trust, once you do, it's heaven in a cup!
