    A friend wanted to try this place and I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a fast food noodle/dumpling shop. Taste is alright and the portions are a bit small.

    Located on the second floor near the JCPenney in the Santa Anita Mall. I finally went and tried the Bafang Dumpling. It wasn't too busy when I went, so there was plenty of seating. I got the Combo 1 which had the 12 Signature Potstickers and a small bowl of Hot & Sour Soup. For me, it was a two person meal since the potstickers are filling. It was good, but not the hype that I heard about. The service could be better. When the order is ready, the pager lights up, but the person is not there to greet you or anything. If you see the plate of food, it's must likely yours. I wonder if it's different if it's busier in-store.

    This Bafang Dumpling is sooo much better than the one in Temple City! The food quality is good, the service is quick, the restaurant is clean and spacious, and there's more parking (obviously) because it's at the mall. This Arcadia location also offers a $10 special of pork chop and braised pork belly rice with a soda that's not available at other locations. I tried it, and it's really good. I'd definitely order this or the signature potstickers, which are always a solid choice. Overall, I'd say come to this location if you want comfort food and a better dining experience.

    For Combo 1 that comes with 12 Signature Potstickers and choice of Hot & Sour Soup or Corn Chowder Soup for $13.75, it's a such a reasonably priced meal! The staff are friendly, however customer service could be improved because they messed up my friend's order. She ordered Combo 5 that was supposed to come with 12 Signature Dumplings and they gave her Potstickers instead lol. Kind of dumb of the staff to mess up an order that easily, as they weren't busy at all when we ordered before the dinner rush on a Friday. Soups (Hot & Sour and Corn Chowder) were yum! If you like moderately spicy flavored soup, I would recommend the Hot & Sour. For mellow, non-spicy soup go with the Corn Chowder. Can't go wrong with either soup, just a matter of spiciness preference. Their Potstickers were standard for the price, just not above average quality. Their Iced Lemon Black Tea (while more on the sweeter side) is a refreshing contrast to the savory food here. I think the City Of Industry location is better than this one in The Shops at Santa Anita mall.

    6 Signature Potstickers, Bafang Signature Noodle, Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice,  & Bafang Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup

    Stopped by on a Friday around 8 pm, and it wasn't too busy. The restaurant is located next to JCPenney, making it easy to find. The only downside was that it felt a bit stuffy inside, and the air conditioning didn't seem to be keeping up. I ordered the combo with pot stickers and the house special noodles. The pot stickers were crispy with a decent amount of filling, and the noodles were well-seasoned with a great texture. I also tried the corn soup, hot-and-sour soup, and braised pork. Everything was flavorful, but the corn soup was my favorite. Service was fast and friendly, and parking was easy since it's located at the mall. Overall, a solid meal with reasonable prices, and I'd come back to try more of the menu.

    The staff were very nice and attentive. It's more of a self-serve dumpling fast food joint if I have to categorize it. Pretty well priced comfort food in Arcadia. With the inflation, very hard to find a meal for less than 15 dollars. Got the signature potsticker, 12 pieces, for about 14 dollars with tax. The potstickers were a little bit on the oily side but the taste was good. It's good for a filling lunch. Parking is usually very packed for the mall. Make travel plans accordingly ~

    Nice casual Taiwanese food spot at the mall. Came grabbed a quick bite here while waiting for a Lego event at the mall. We ordered signature potstickers and pork chop with braised pork belly rice. The signature potstickers is a family favorite. The wrapper is tender with a crispy bottom. The filling is seasoned just right. I's a bit disappointed with the pork chop - it has some sinew so it's hard to chew. The rice is mushy to me and not the best quality. Although the flavor is good and it's nice they cute the pork chop in 3 pieces. At the price point, can't really complain too much and compare it to din tai Fung. It's a quick casual place to get filled up and move on. The cashier is nice and friendly.

    Ordered the pork chop with braised pork belly rice. It came with a soda for only $10. What a deal! Very delicious meal for an affordable price. We also got the signature potstickers which had perfect crispy sides. Thoroughly enjoyed this meal and appreciate the convenience of this location being at the Arcadia mall.

    It's kinda different from the original bafang dumpling in Taiwan. The bafangin Taiwan more like neighborhood dumpling restaurants, the bafang in the US kinda like dumpling fast food restaurant. We order beef noodle, combo 3 (dumplings + fried dumplings) and pork chops. ALL GOOD! Beef noodle is $17 and worth the price. Dumplings you can tell they are handmade and fresh. The pork chops were tender. Only thing I don't like is they use too much disposable tableware even for dining in customers, not eco friendly!

    Good quality fast Taiwanese food located in the Santa Anita Mall. Bafang is located near JC Penney's on the second floor. It's brightly lit and has plenty of casual seat-yourself seating. Order at the counter, give you a buzzer, pick your food up when buzzed, eat, and bus your own table. Condiments located near the water and utensils. Signature items are the Pork Chop, Potstickers, Won Ton, Spicy and Beef Noodles Soup. The latter had a choice of Original and Spicier Mala. We opted for the Wonton Soup, Potstickers, Original Beef Noodle Soup, and Spicy Mala Dry Noodles. All were good and if you were to order only one thing...get the Potstickers. Decent Taiwanese food in a mall setting. A little pricey compared to external Taiwanese Restaurants but you save on tip as it's all self-serve.

    Another fast food restaurant to pick from at the Santa Anita Mall. However, Bafang Dumpling isn't in the food court, it it tucked on the 2nd floor near JC Penny. If you take the escalator up near Shibulaya it is on the right once you're on the second level. My husband and I went on grand opening week, where they offered different specials. We got a bag because we spent a certain amount. The service was very quick, we were able to order our food without waiting more than five minutes. I tried the Bafang Signature potstickers (pan friend) and my husband got the Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Food: Potstickers- amazing, crispy and not too oily. I didn't even need to use any dipping sauce since it was so flavorful. Noodle soup: large portion size but my husband has had better, but for a fast food quality you can't beat it. Whenever I am craving for potstickers I will come here in the future!

    The reviews aren't great but this place is pretty solid for cafeteria vibe quick service. We ordered the $10 pork chop rice with soda special, and spicy wontons. The pork was smothered in the minced pork sauce so lost all and any crispiness but it was tender and juicy! Served with a plethora of pickled veggies! I almost felt like there wasn't enough rice to toppings ratio! Spicy Wontons were delicious, but a bit gooey today. I'm guessing it's from the over starchy water they use to boil the dumplings. Soda fountain is self service, they also have a mini condiments bar. Would go back to try their other menu items!

    Bafang Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
    Majella L.

    It took a few extra minutes to find it located on the 2nd level near the JC Penny and H&M. Service was quick to order and you just wait for your food while you seat yourself. The soups came out piping hot and delicious. Although they seemed to be known for their dumplings, both my fellow diner and myself agreed that their soups were better. We had the potstickers which were generous in portion but not as tasty as we were hoping. They had just a little too much cabbage for us. There were plenty of tables to seat families and most of them were taken but we took ours to-go. Felt like a casual vibe here but maybe a good spot to grab a hot soup for take out.

There was only a party of three in front of me, so I'm assuming those were their drinks, and the server had no problem taking their order. Then it was my turn. I hadn't even finished saying what I wanted before the server stopped me and said, **"Oh, sorry, we're short-staffed. Please order from the machine,"** and proceeded to turn the machine on. Short-staffed... with **three employees behind the counter and only one other customer behind me.** Okay. And just to make things even better, there was a sign saying **orders would take approximately 15-30 minutes to be ready after being placed.** So apparently they had enough staff to make me wait 15-30 minutes for my drinks, but somehow not enough staff to take my order. The best part? The machine they told me to use had already been **turned off for the night.** So I was told to order from a machine that wasn't even available AND took them just the same amount of time it would've taken to take my order to turn the machine on. At that point, I just left. I already knew exactly what I wanted, and taking my order would have taken maybe a minute. I guess that was asking for too much. Really disappointing because I genuinely wanted to try this place. Unfortunately, I didn't even get the chance to see if the drinks were good because the customer service was enough to make me walk right back out. **Maybe figure out the ordering situation before telling customers to use a machine that's already been turned off.**
