I really like this place. It's clean and modern. The dumplings are delicious. The Taiwanese noodle soup was so tasty and the broth had so much depth. Soy drinks: delicious. Not too sweet and it doesn't taste heavy on creams or half and half. I'll be back for this. read more

Love this location! Super clean, very spacious, easy to find a spot to eat. The food was so fresh and delicious - everything tasted superb. The sauce bar was a nice touch. I personally loved the fried chicken, it was like a giant popcorn chicken! The dumplings were very yummy as expected. We were pleasantly surprised by how much meat was in the beef noodle soup, it was super tender. Service was quick, nice, and the answered all our questions as first time customers. read more

Tried this place out for the first time at their Torrance grand opening. Sooo happy a dumpling place was opening up closer to me. Always happy to support more Asian food places in Torrance! First glance, the place is very casual looking and doesn't have many decorations and I feel like they didn't have many tables but had space they could've utilized to add more. My boyfriend and I ordered a variety of things: the dumpling sampler + corn chowder combo, the old fashioned noodles + pork chop combo, fried chicken, their signature potstickers, and a black tea soy latte. I thought all the dumpling flavors were good but the one I enjoyed the most was the corn and chicken one! I was pleasantly surprised with the corn chowder as well, but maybe because I just love corn :) The fried chicken was good and the sauce it came with complemented it well. We didn't enjoy the pork chop as much because it was a bit soggy and we wish the outer crust was crunchier like the fried chicken, but my boyfriend thought the noodles were good while I thought they were a bit bland. I also ordered the black tea soy latte but I think they forgot the espresso and black tea part because all I tasted was soy milk and it didn't look like the menu picture. It's my fault for not checking before we left since we did a to-go order and they put the drink in the bag, but since it's their grand opening little mistakes are to be expected. I do think it's cool that they sell bags of frozen dumplings that you can take home and cook yourself. I got a bag of their signature dumplings for my family to try. Overall, I had a good experience and will definitely come back in the future! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Black tea soy latte without the latte - Taiwanese Near Me - Torrance, California

I came here a while back when they had a grand opening. I really liked the dumplings! Open to trying them again, I thought they were pretty good for it being almost like a fast food type of place. It's not really fast food but not traditional sit down style. read more

Nice! I love another dumpling option For a quick lunch... or so I thought. Took over 30 minutes to get my meal, which is completely insane for dumplings. When food finally arrived it was decent but not sure a wait like that would be ever worth it again. Restaurant was busy and very loud. read more

Bafang Dumpling - #4 combo - Taiwanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Solid place. I enjoy the beef noodle soup. Large portions and the beef is tender and flavorful.

We ordered signature potstickers and soup(hot & sour) combo $12.75, spicy wontons, fried pork, boba milk tea, all for less than $35.00! The portion is huge for its price and the quality is pretty good too. read more

Solid fast casual place. Their noodles and wonton soup are incredible so 5 stars there, but everything else we tried is frozen food quality but at affordable prices so four stars for the majority of the menu. The Bafan Noodles were my favorite dish but weren't standout. I liked them the best due to their texture and sesame paste sauce. Probably what I would get again next time if I had to order from here. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was really good and a toss-up for favorite, but the bok choy and beef could have been cooked longer / more tender. However, great flavor; I'm normally not a noodle broth drinker but I was drinking this one. I did like how both noodles were al dente and chewy, and tasted delicious and fresh. The wontons from the wonton soup had INCREDIBLE flavor. This was the most unique and flavorful dish imo but I prefer thicker skins, which is why I could tell these were knockout wontons if looking at just the flavor of the filling even if not a personal favorite of mine. I LOVE XLB and these wontons were XLB but in wonton skins, essentially. The meat was impossibly soft and flavorful and somehow soaked up the broth. Dont get the potsticker dumplings if you don't like the thin flavorless skin from bibigo frozen dumplings. The regular dumplings were ok, better than the potstickers but the dough wasn't homemade and I've had so many good dumplings that this one isn't worth the calories. The fried chicken wasn't that good, I took a bite and put the rest down and this is someone who has trouble not eating food in front of her who loves deep fried stuff. The chili wontons were ok, a little too sweet and I already mentioned the wonton skins are meh / possibly overcooked. It was my dad's favorite dish. read more

I had a very frustrating experience with the staff. I ordered two 12-piece dumplings, but was given noodles instead. When I brought up the mistake, the employee who helped me (a woman with half-blonde, half-black hair and multiple facial piercings) responded rudely, though she said she would correct the order. However, when my food was ready, they gave me noodles again. When I asked about the dumplings a second time, she gave me a dirty look and laughed about it with the other cooks. It felt very unprofessional and disrespectful. I won't be returning here again. read more

Taiwanese beef noodle soup was very good. Soft beef with daikon radish in soup base. Noodles tasted fresh too. Service was good, very clean place. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese beef noodle soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Found this place today and I'm so happy that there are dumplings nearby to me. The dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork, but the cabbage is not overwhelming. They're perfect steamed dumplings and remind me of SF. The noodles are thick and the signature chili sauce makes them a bit spicy but not too hot. The sweet and sour soup is great for a windy day and the tofu and veggies help make it a great choice for your side with your combo. The staff are really nice and answered all of my questions. I will try the chicken and corn dumplings next time. One of the combos is actually a mix of the different dumplings and that will be worth a try. read more

It was sooo good we went back the next day. Their potstickers were the best. Very flavorful. We also tried their pork chop and fried chicken. Both very crispy and delicious too! The dumplings were good too but wish there were other sauces to go with it to add more flavor for it. read more

For "fast food" potsticker dumplings, this place hits the spot. Dumplings are consistently good. The wonton soup is basic but nice, hot and flavorful. The place is clean and modern and good for a quick hot bite! read more

Found out new chain opened around 8:30pm to try it as snack. Already had dinner and ice cream. Only 2 table (2 couples) and 1 take out inside. Very slow in food preparation with only 3 orders. Food: 3/5 Combo #5 Ba Fang dumplings and corn chowder combo. Ba Fang dumplings (boiled): 4/5 Medium thickness of skin, I don't like doughy skin like the Ling Ling's frozen chicken dumplings sold at Costco. These are frozen dumplings, so it tasted as such but may be a tad better than grocery store bought frozen dumplings. Meat and cabbage combo is just right, tasted better with their vinegar sauce and may be garlic/sesame sauce combo. Corn chowder: 0/5 Only took one spoonful and cannot eat it at all! It was extremely sweet (too much sugar added) to the point it's doesn't taste as corn nor as soup, but more of a dessert drink. Not a second scoop anymore. Wasted! Service: NA It's self serve after ordering, cleaning up table, putting away trays just like any fast food chain. Even McDonald has people cleaning up tables occasionally. The counter lady was friendly. Ambiance: 4/5 Very clean looking and bright being at the corner location with glasses all around. Minimal decoration with meaning of dumplings in general terms for different styles of preparation. Will want to go back for a meal to try their Beef Noodles soup, the crispy dumplings, and wonton soup. That's the only items look appealing from the display of dishes served. Found later after ordering. For someone new to this establishment, it would be nice to introduce new comer to the display first. Remember, these are all frozen foods with preservatives, not like restaurants that make fresh dumplings onsite and serve hot like typical sit down meal. read more

Think Taiwanese fast food. Good value. Good food. Not necessarily the best of anything. The hot noodle beef soup is popular with those who were sitting around us. We wanted to get a variety of easy to share dishes instead. The top choices were the potstickers and dumplings and the chili pepper fried chicken. Parking is convenient as it is located in a strip mall plaza. Seating inside is difficult to come by as there is limited seating. They also offer a nice array of teas and boba drinks. Lastly they have a sauce station that includes soy sauce, ginger sauce, black vinegar, hot sauce and sesame oil. read more

Quick stop for good old fashion Taiwanese beef noodles ! Menu selection has many choices. I love their hot & sour soup too!

I just saw by chance passing by along Hawthorne Blvd about this place. Of course, I check Yelp and checkout out after work. Food was amazing. Right away, we knew this is a place to go if craving for dumplings. We LOVE LOVE the mini wonton soup . Service was great. Restaurant is well light and clean. In fact the next day I went back again tried the kimchi & pork. Delicious read more

Was craving some potstickers. So I decided to try Bafang Dumpling House. Interior was clean and minimalist. The potstickers were good, nice crisp exterior with a flavorful filling. I had the Banfang original noodles. Very oily, and an off putting burnt flavor. Might have been the Chinese vinegar? But it was way too oily. I should have stuck with my go to, Beef noodle soup. The shining star was the Boba I had the soy Tiger, it was so good!!! No real service at this location, just a guy taking an order. Didn't really talk, didn't even explain that the sauces were separate and where they were located. It was also kind of odd they gave you one of those beeper things, but the guy called out your number when it was ready??? Clean, casual and comforting.... read more

Good food. I dropped a star as apparently they no longer have the Asian drinks like boba milk tea and replaced with just fountain drinks.

This fresh, welcoming new dumpling house has the best service. The manager Jazmin is truly amazing. I asked her some questions about the menu and she went above the call of duty and blessed me with a scrumptious sample. I will definitely bring my family back. I had stopped by to pick of beverages for some heroes at Little Company of Mary Hospital. read more

Been wanting to try this place for months because I saw raving reviews on Tik Tok. It's not easy finding good Taiwanese food, so I was excited to be in the area and finally able to try it. Unfortunately, I'm a little disappointed because it was not as good as I anticipated it to be. I got the Bafang signature dumplings (pork and kimchi, but it's just cabbage) and Chili pepper fried chicken, which was soggy at the bottom. The flavor was ok, not great but not bad either. Service is lacking a bit because the server didn't seem like she wanted to be there. No friendly smile to greet you at the register. When my food was done, she just left it on the counter, notified my buzzer and walked away. Overall, I won't be coming back. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Taiwanese beef noodle soup with a side of pork chop. - Taiwanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Dumplings were flavorless. Hot and sour soup was "ok". Nothing special at all. Pot stickers were good. The oolong boba tea was completely watered down, I could hardly drink it. I should have asked for a refund. read more

Really wanted to like this place but the flavor was honestly lacking. I feel like the food wasn't authentic and almost had a flavor profile catered to those new to Asian cuisine. I didn't find it spicy what so ever and that's totally ok but for those who like spice and Asian food, you can definitely go somewhere else that's more authentic and that has enough spice to make your nose run lol. The one thing I did like was the boba. Definitely good. Service was ok and there's definitely a lot of space to eat inside. Overall, it's definitely an entry level dumpling place. If you're seasoned, I'd go somewhere else. No hard feelings but just not my cup of tea. read more

Dumpling chain from Taiwan. Veggie dumplings are very tasty along with the pork chops. Try the pot stickers and the corn soup!

I've been here several times. This time, I ordered the No. 8 meal and the beef noodles. The beef noodles were delicious, no problem there. But the noodles in the No. 8 meal were all stuck together, and the first time I ate them, they were hard, so I asked for them to be cooked again. The second time, the noodles were much better and very tasty, but I found a hair in the noodles. I was really angry, but I didn't go back to the counter to complain, to avoid being seen as a difficult customer. read more

I like the food, at the end of the night we needed a bag and tried to get attention of the staff, they all closed early and sat on the phone. The girl cussed and yelled at my gf saying you can't come back here. We just wanted a bag, that girl should be fired . The manager should let me know because it's unprofessional and our family won't be back unless I get this resolved . Besides that the food we like read more

Food was okay, nice restaurant for families and groups. Loved the restaurant. Would suggest the restaurant advertise it.

Got the wonton soup and noodles and it made me super bloated and gave me terrible stomach pains

The dumplings are absolutely delicious here! I also appreciate the fast food type menu ordering and setting. If you don't know a lot about dumplings then this is a place to come and try an assortment! The pricing is so reasonable so now I don't feel like I have to spend big $$$ at Din Tai Fung to get my dumpling fix. Overall I'm psyched. It's pretty much self serve except for the ordering but the cashier was quick and helpful. This is a card only business though, no cash. read more

I am astounded by the delicious mix of flavors. Wife noticed this place last Sunday when we stopped to buy bagels. Looked it up online and decided to give it a try. On our Saturday, take out, day we ordered Pork Pot Stickers, Chicken and Corn Dumplings, Won Ton Soup and Old Fashion noodles. Placed the order on line and headed over. I had zero wait time as they were prompt and efficient. 1-5 for service and they were a 5. Got home and hoped the food would be good. It was better than good. It was outstanding. I know this place is likely to become my favorite Take Out dinner. Great job Bafang!!! read more

The dry noodles, pot stickers, pork chop and dumplings are great, but anything with soup is pretty atrocious. The soups remind of of the dehydrated instant soups you get at Ranch 99--a strange unnatural flavor. Also for the love of God, why aren't there any vegetables on the menu? The pickeld cold dishes to balance your meal is in a small side fridge which is almost always empty. Also I wish they didn't use disposable plates for every single little thing.. It actually makes me hesitate anytime someone mentions they want to eat here. Service is quick. Restaurant itself looks like a nice clean quick serve place. read more

I ordered eat in, but after 30 minutes, I ask the cashier if my food is ready, he ask me did I order? I showed him the receipt and the round alert thing, he then look around and found my food is at to go area. Need to improve the service. read more

Overall love the place! As per my Asian taste growing up in Taiwan... - Recommend: wonton soup, potstickers, hot sour soup, pork chop, pepper chicken (just like from the night market), side dishes - Not bad: beef noodle soup - Meh: signature noodles, mala noodles are a little better. Soy based drinks are not very good if you are ok with regular milk. Boba texture is fine. read more

I ordered the combo #4. The signature noodle had a very nice touch of sesame and tasted really nice with the spicy oil sauce. FYI the toppings are green onions only, so there are no vegetables. Since this is a fast food joint, everything is self serve; you will need to serve yourself water and condiments, and pick up food by yourself. Therefore, there is no tip, which is neat. read more
