This woman was so rude. I asked for a sample of sour soup and she said no and disregarded me immediately putting her back towards me. She did the same thing when I asked if used Va discount. I told her I would yelp this she is the asian one with the short haircut. Also she used her hands to touch my wontons. It old her that was unsanitary. I want a fresh batch then she used prongs and wiped her head with the tip of them. This is so not right and now she making new wontons and letting my sour soup get cold she wouldnt let me sample. Somebody needs to give her a pep talk. Right before I left she started at it again! Using her hands when every other worker is using gloves. I called her out. She said oh well they are wrapped. Listen viewers I seen her grab them with bare hands and throw from freezer straight to fryer. I guess she thinks she is too good to where gloves.

Potstickers, dumplings, noodles, and soups are all delish and affordable. Their pork chop is super soft but a tad bit oily but still awesome! FOOD 4/5 Not bad for fast food grab and go including their frozen offers which I keep seeing tons of customers pick up. FAIR AMBIENCE 3/5 Open high ceiling and decent seating but WOW it's dirty here. The single shared bathroom is nasty, sauces are empty, and the trash was overfilled. Sad the (3) employees don't rotate or have time periods to clean up everything SERVICE 4/5 Always consistent from ordering and making it made to order. PARKING 4/5 LA Fitness and other restaurants share the lot so it's a hit or miss when you come.

My first time at Bafang, but I will most definitely be back soon to try more of their menu. This is a fast-casual chain hailing from Taiwan, where they have more than 1100 locations across Hong Kong, China, and their home country, making it (per their website) the largest franchise restaurant operation in that part of the world. Here, it's very much a simple affair: Formica tables, digital menu over the register, plastic trays and utensils. Order at the counter and grab a seat, your electronic number will vibrate when the food is ready. While you wait, you can fill ramekins with self-serve dipping sauces: soy, sesame oil, black vinegar, a composed garlic sauce and a spicy Sambal. I opted for their Signature Potstickers, with a filling of pork and cabbage, and an order of the Spicy Wontons, which are steamed and tossed in said spicy sauce, topped with scallion. The potstickers were nicely crisped, with a mild but flavorful filling. They worked well with all of the sauces, and were very satisfying. The sauce atop the Spicy Wontons had a nice heat that tingled without overwhelming the tongue. Alternating bites between these two similar but different-enough dumplings was a nice way to enjoy the meal. They have a number of other options on the menu: Chinese soups like Wonton and the like, some noodles, a fried pork chop, and an entree-sized beef noodle soup. It all looks good, and it's all fairly priced. A nice addition to the quick meal options in the area, and far better-tasting than what you get at the other, well-known fast food Chinese places.

Super fresh dumplings! The dumplings remind me of the ones I grew up making with my mom and grandma because they have such fresh veggies in them. The first time I came to this restaurant and I tried the pork dumpling, I cried because I was so nostalgic of the home made dumplings that I missed so much. At this time, I've tried all their dumplings, the pot sticker, hot sour soup, and a few of their rice bowls. I really love the original pork dumpling and the chicken corn dumplings the most. But I still eat the kimchi and veggie dumplings too. It's nice to eat them hot in the restaurant, but they are also sold frozen. The frozen ones are so convenient for work night dinners. Great way to gave a quick dinner of fresh dumplings. My husband loves their pork bowl. It has pork cooked different ways and a delicious pickled veggies to contrast. The service is so nice. They answer all my questions very thoroughly. I appreciate that the food is made to order and still very quickly ready. For take out, the food is packaged very thoughtfully to prevent spills.

We went to the City of Industry location when it first opened and was pleasantly surprised when they opened another location closer to us in Van Nuys! This location has good traffic from the Costco and gym nearby. We loved getting the dumplings and beef noodle soup. They are quite flavorful and satisfying! If you need more sauce there is a station to get your fill of garlic, sesame oil, black vinegar, soy sauce and chili with ramekins. The beef noodle soup does have a bit of heft to it so worth it if you're hungry and need something substantial. All the dumplings are great to snack on.

The dumplings are great! I got the signature dumplings, 12 pieces with a hot and sour soup. I also really enjoyed the sauces. The soup was SO hot at first i couldn't eat it. I waited a bit and still ended up burning my mouth. The hot and sour soup was ok. I liked the veggies in it but ultimately not for me. The wonton soup was so incredibly oily that we did not enjoy it. The flavor was just dominated by oil. Customer service was just ok. I had some questions and it felt like the cashier was rushing me a little. Price point is pretty good for the amount of food you get. Overall, I'd come back but only for the dumplings.

Ok, so I came here on invitation & I had the wonton soup. It was so good! My friends had the soup & she's obsessed but it was big enough for her to swim in, so we packed it home. We shared dumplings & they are so good! I'll definitely be back for those. It's a nice, clean restaurant & everyone was really friendly. You order at the counter & they give you a buzzer when your food is ready to pick up. The car park is a little tight around dinner time, but it's nice & easy spaces. Would definitely come back for the soup! I love that this is a TAIWANESE place with all the flavors to match!

The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was exactly what I was craving. Deep flavor, firm noodles, and tender meat with pickled collard greens to boot. Portion size was good too. Not the best one I've ever had but would go back for this. The signature noodles were just okay, not flavorful. The signature potstickers were better. They have a sauce table.

Tried it today for the first time... I ordered ahead online so it is ready for pick up... Food: I orderd 2 Bafang Noodles, 2 Fried Pork Chops, 2 Spicy Wonton and 1 Signiture 6pc pork dumpling for iur lunch. I must say that everything was delicious!! My son who's apicky eater, loved the noodles, dumpling and porkchops - like he literally ate a lot and even said, "their food is good!". The serving portion is decent for the price. From my opinion, the noodles is good for 1-2 people especially if your are planning to order other entrees. But of course if you have a big appetite then order for each... Like for us (4 in the fam) we actually didn't get to eat 1 of the extra bafang noodles and fried porkchop and there are atleast 6pcs of spicy wontons left - so I no longer need to cook dinner for tonight coz' we have some more food to eat! Yay! Service: I didn't get to go in the store, my husband picked it up but he said, the food was ready, the staff are nice and helpful and the sauces are in the condiments section and it is self serve. Ambience: Since the place is new, it is nice, clean and spacious he said and the place where Bafang Dumpling is at is right accross Costco Gas Station. I can't wait for this place to open in Northridge since that is going to be closer to us!! 5 stars to Bafang!!

It's a quick service restaurant with a few tables scattered around, for groups of 2, 4, and I think 6? The food came out after around 10 minutes and they give you a buzzer to tell you when it's ready. Of course it's authentic, the chain had over 1100 locations in Asia before coming to the US. We got the Taiwanese beef noodles for $18 and the 12 count signature dumplings for $14. Pretty pricey, but the food is good. The Taiwanese noodle soup has a mild beefy flavor that lingers with the oil. The beef is really stellar--soft, gelatinous, and delicious! My big complaint is the radish, it's cut like 2 giant logs so there's a strong radish flavor and boring texture. The dumplings are juicy, the pork and cabbage is soft and satisfying though, and the wrappers have a nice elasticity that gives it a good chew experience. But the flavor is also rather plain, but this is from someone spoiled with authentic homemade dumplings. They have a sauce counter with garlic, black vinegar, chili, sesame oil, etc. I tried the vinegar and it was not what I was expecting? It was sweet and not very acidic. There's a cpop playlist in the background on speakers that aren't too loud. Parking lot is big but can get crowded from how much is around. Not bad if you're craving it, but I don't think this will be in my regular rotation.

I realy enjoyed the dumplings here and service from Bafang. I stopped by at lunch and it wasn't too busy. From ordering to receiving my food was only about 10 minutes. I ordered the Noodle and potsticker combo with a side of dumplings for about $23 The least favorite for me was the noodle dish. It wasn't bad, but I think it just lacked flavor outside of the spice. It had a good kick of spice but it was kinda flat and not really exciting or unique. The noodles however were so good, cooked well and chewy. the potstickers were crispy, juicy, and filled well. While the dumplings were also cooked well and stuffed, juicy, and went so well with the vinegar and sauces available for you to serve yourself.

TL;DR: delicious authentic Chinese dumplings in Van Nuys with quick service in a clean atmosphere!! AMBIANCE/PARKING: The parking lot tends to be a little on the crowded side, but you are always able to get a spot pretty close by! It is nearby Costco, 99 Ranch, and LA Fitness. The restaurant itself is very clean and bright with plenty of tables for dine in and space to wait for takeout. Not a hole in the wall by any means! It is counter service but definitely comfortable to eat in. SERVICE: Counter service. You order at the register. You can also order online for a quicker pick up experience. There are usually 2-3 workers who are working the kitchen and register simultaneously but you don't usually have to wait long to place your order. The food can take a little longer just because it's made to order so feel free to take advantage of online ordering ahead of time if you want your food more quickly. The staff is nice though! FOOD: Delicious and authentic!!! Would highly recommend! Menu: They have a decently large menu. They are known mostly for their dumplings, either panfried potstickers or boiled dumplings. I tend to get the potstickers because they're juicy and crunchy and satisfying! However, they also have other options ranging from noodle dishes (Dan Dan noodles, sesame noodles) and even spicy beef noodle soup 紅燒牛肉麵! I usually opt for their combos, which consist of 12 or 6 dumplings or potstickers with something else like a wonton soup or noodles. You can customize it all, like choose regular or kimchi flavored dumplings and choose what side you want. It's all relatively affordable, around $15. The potstickers themselves are delicious. They have a great flavor and are panfried to perfection. Definitely give them a try if you want authentic potstickers. You can also buy the dumplings frozen if you want to cook some at home! Overall, LOVE bafang for authentic Chinese dumplings at a good price! Definitely check it out next time you want a quick, delicious, and authentic Chinese meal! :)

We have been here several times. The place is always clean, the counterperson is always courteous taking our order. The potstickers were pretty good. The hot and sour soup was excellent. The pork chop itself was quite subpar, but the pork belly rice was very good. Not sure we will come back
