The food was delicious and savory. The noodles were the star. It had great balance of flavors. The food came out fast, hot and fresh. Don't forget to ask about the fried chicken option. The sauce they give you with the fried chicken was a hit! Pretty much I dip my dim sum and drenched my already insanely good noodles. The place has great spread of condiments. Inside has a friendly family vibe. read more

Went in on a whim. The "hot" noodles aren't that hot, but the potsticker, dumplings, and hot & sour soup were all good. If you are hungry for dumplings or potstickers and are walking by, you should try this place. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Dumplings - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Been wanting to try out BAFANG DUMPLING since I found out they opened one here in Arcadia. It was taking me so long to visit them that another branch opened near me in the Valley and I still haven't tried out their dumplings. Finally got the opportunity this weekend and it was totally worth it. Very affordable, large portions. Got their DUMPLINGS. They have a sauce table as opposed to a condiment table and man, they were perfect with the dumplings. SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! There was practically no line to order. The line to wait for our food took longer than ordering. The PORK CHOP is tender and delicious. The NOODLES are also very very good. The texture is great and the broth is delicious. There are plenty of tables inside to dine in. This branch is located inside the Santa Anita Mall. read more

I was happy to see a Bafang in the mall but when I went in I was a little disappointed. To be fair, I haven't been to one in a while so I'm not 100% sure if it's just this store or all stores made this change but they didn't have any drinks other than soft drinks and lemon tea (no soy milk which is my go to). They also didn't have any of the side dishes for sale which I always get. The pork chop rice was a great deal for $10 though and right now it comes with a free soft drink. Always love their signature noodles and kimchi pork potstickers. It wasn't too busy and had plenty of seating available. read more

I'm just here to say, try their signature noodles and pot stickers. I tried it the first time today, service was quick and the food was fantastic. The noodles were saucy and chewy, with great flavor. read more

I got a combo 3 (signature dumplings & signature pot stickers) with hot & sour soup, and also a pork chop with braised pork belly rice bowl. Total was $27 and enough to feed 2. Food took a little whole to come out, maybe 15 mins. The dumplings weren't that great, the wrap was too thick imo. Pot stickers were great, probably my favorite item! Hot & sour soup was good. The pork chop bowl was decent. The pork chop was very thin slices and not very crispy, but the bowl was overall a good size for $10. In total I enjoyed my meal and would come back again. I'd pass on the dumplings next time though. read more

Some pretty nice dumplings served in a fast food manner. Their menu is short with various combos which are good value. The potstickers and dumplings have 3 flavors: pork, chicken, and veggie. The pork over rice was tasty, definitely the best value. The interior is very clean and spacious, everything is disposable for quick and easy clean up. read more

We went here kind of by accident. We were headed to the mall and knew we were too late for Ramen Nagi. But we noticed Bafang Dumpling right next to the JC Penny entrance. We checked the menu and it looked good. We ordered the beef noodle soup, and the number 3&4 combos. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was quite large and looked and tasted very good. Kinda like a beef stew noodle. Very satisfying. I got the number 4 combo: the signature noodle and 6 signature dumplings. The noodles were tasty and slightly spicy and I tasted just a bit of numbing spice. (Szechuan peppercorn perhaps?) Anyway, very good. And the signature dumplings were excellent. Especially with the variety of dipping sauces you can help yourself to. Black vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce and garlic sauce. All great for dipping and adding to your dish. My son got the combo 3 which was pot stickers, signature dumplings and choice of soup (hot and sour or corn chowder). He chose the hot and sour and it was very good. Hot and full of chicken and tofu etc. service was friendly and helpful. And since it was opening weekend, we got a free insulated tote bag and some stickers. We will be back again someday soon. Thanks! 8/10 read more

I like the food, but the service needs training, a lot of training. The orders that come in first should be a higher priority than new orders. If someone orders #1, 12 pot stickers and a soup, and a Tawainese soup, start cooking it. If there are other orders you can serve and finish: do so. However when you start giving out 7 orders ( I counted) of potstickers for people that order after me and I have waited 30 minutes for the potstickers..there is a problem. The Taiwanese soup was ready for 15 minutes.. read more

First time trying this new place. The original was my favorite light and crispy the other one , chicken and corn dumpling. The dough was little thick for me. Not a big fan of the sauces either Overall not bad . fast/ to go dumpling to grab read more

Bafang Dumpling - Yum! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

So this place is located at the Santa Anita (Arcadia) mall. Weekday parking is very good during the day near the JC Penny and Nordstrom lot. The space is simple, clean and you order at the counter. Service so far has been excellent and the food appears relatively quickly. It appears to be made to order since it comes out piping hot which is great! So out of the 3 times I've been here so far, the experience has overall been pretty good. They serve Taiwanese quick service meals. Bafang is from Taiwan where they serve worker's lunchtimes and students usually with misc quick eats and cheap prices. This location adheres to that ethos adjusted for our market but frankly the ones they opened in LA are just far fancier in direct comparison to the ones in Taiwan. The food here is relatively well made. Everything tastes good enough. It's meant to be a decent meal but not meant to impress. Pricing per person is between $10-$20 which in 2025 is about right for your fast casual chain restaurant pricing. They get a lot right here in translation. This is a solid 4 star place I would happily come back to. If they can maintain the quality here long term, which is to be seen and possibly add some more menu items, then perhaps in the future there is another star to be added. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Unfiltered. Hot and sour soup and the new Pork Chop rice menu item August 2025. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I was so excited about Bafang opening a location at Santa Anita Mall because it's really starting to be an awesome foodie haven. I want to say the location of this restaurant is really weird because it's not in the food court or the outdoor restaurant area. It's located on the 2nd floor by JC Penny. The inside is really nice and spacious with plenty of seating. I ordered chili pepper chicken and kimchi potstickers to dine in. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be finished which I thought was a bit too long considering I was the only customer at that moment. I picked up my food and at first glance I knew something was off. The chicken looked completely different than the ones I had at the City of Industry location. I have never seen smooth fried breading. So then I see the bottom of the chicken is soggy. The reason it's soggy is there was liquid on the bottom of the tray. I'm guessing this was excess water from the cabbage they put in the tray. Now I took a bite and omg I was so disappointed because it wasn't fried and crunchy but instead it was soggy and rubbery. The meat quality was terrible too. I couldn't even eat it. Now the kimchi potstickers looked ok but it also wasn't good. It was cold and even though it had been pan fried and it too was soggy. The quality of the food here makes me never want to come back. I've had excellent experiences at the City of Industry location so I'm really sad that I didn't get it here. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Chili Pepper Chicken & Kimchi Potstickers - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I read through some reviews before posting this, and it's funny to see people refer to it as fast food because they are anything but fast. Came here with my kids and ordered two #1 combos. It literally took 25 minutes for our order to come out. I honestly don't know if it's the kitchen that's super slow, but given similar slowness in their TC location, I think the owners are being way too cheap in staffing these restaurants properly. The guy who works the front and took our order was nice, and he was working diligently so it wasn't like he was goofing off and causing delays. My kids do enjoy the dumplings here and to be honest, this could be a place we would go once every 1-1.5 weeks if not for the ridiculous wait times. Good enough food, but definitely not fast. read more

The Bafang Noodles were good! Despite a somewhat plain appearance, the dish was surprisingly tasty! The color aroma and flavor was tangy and exciting. I would recommend this place and eat this dish again. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Bafang Signature Noodle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is a nice alternative to din tai fung. The service was fast and it was good for the price. It has an open layout with seats right next to each other so can get very overstimulating when it is crowded. The service was great. read more

Look at those gen z girls working there is already no appetite. Ordered a pork chop rice wait it for 25 min. And all orders are stuck on the counter between kitchen and front line..... the girl work extremely no sense trying to match the food and orders. No other crews offer help.

Wow. This location is so bad-- you order food, and then... nothing happens. The cashier forgot to put my order in, which I only discovered after standing there for 20 minutes watching 6 kitchen staff looking busy while accomplishing absolutely nothing. When I finally went back up to ask what was going on, surprise! My order was never entered. Instead of, I don't know, noticing or caring, they just started making it like this was totally normal. No urgency. Just vibes. 0 issues at the other locations just this one. Twice now same issue. If you enjoy incompetence, this is your spot. If you actually want food? Maybe try literally anywhere else. read more

Do not come here they clearly do not value their customers. Hours state 10am-9pm- it was only 7pm, worker saw us & ran to the back without acknowledging us. You can see the worker in the photo drinking his drink ignoring us. read more

There are plenty of seats in the resturant, I ordered number four combos with mala noodles and pork stick, the food turns out to be yummy, the noodles were pretty good. They say it's dry noodles but I think it has enough sauce with it, which turns out to be pretty good. It didn't take long for the order to be ready, you order at the front and pick up in the front also, the place is clean and bright. I think if they could put more noodles would be better, it was less than I thought, I could easily have two bowls. read more

We are so thrilled to have Baganda in Arcadia! Their new dish fried pork chop with braised pork rice bowl brings us back to our childhood. It is so tasty with the familiar flavor and the fried pork chop is lean with thin coating. There are lots of seatings and few tables of outdoor seating too. Service is quick and self-serve sauces station is great. We will be back soon! read more

It's a soft opening between 7/25-8/14, we ordered a potsticker/ wonton soup combo (#2), and a braised pork rice. Both were tasty, but due to the soft opening, it took a little longer than I would have preferred. Instead of waiting 5-7 minutes, it took more like 15 minutes. But instead of waiting 45 minutes+ at Ding Tai Fung, this is a viable option! The restaurant also has frozen bags of dumplings for $25. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Front door sign about soft opening. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is definitely one of the best Asian food I've tried! The restaurant is constructed food court style with a place to place and pick up orders, so the service is always pretty quick. Whenever I come it's pretty packed, but there's usually at least one table available. On the downside, I think that if you choose to get a soft drink, the ice dispenser is quite hard to use. read more

Night and day, compared to the nearby Temple City location, and not in a good way. The food is subpar and the wait is lengthy. My soup came out lukewarm and the signature noodle is drenched in peanut sauce and not much else. If you just need some food for (relatively) cheap at the mall to fill up, this place gets the job done. I'd rather have something at the food court next time. read more

The dumplings are really fresh. I think they're made to order. Definitely will go there again.

Store location: Arcadia Mall. It was missing a wonton soup! I requested another one, but they put us on the bottom of queue. I wait almost half hour until I ask them again and again, finally he throw the soup to me without apologize! Terrible service!!!!!!!!!! I should select 0 star!!! read more

Horrible services at front desk girl, new year day afternoon at 4:00 pm, pick up order was clearly there, I showed them proof of my online order, they gave me a quick glance and brushed me off saying there is no such order. After 20 minutes of back and forth finally someone found my order. I tried asking for this ladies name she refused to tell me, then I asked for the managers name and she told me she was the manager. And I ask her are you the manager? Then inside of kitchen there's another girl told me they don't have manager, they trying to lie to me, what kind of management like this? I really like to find out who is the manager of this Bafang store! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Receipt - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Worked Got my order wrong after I waited for 20 minutes for the food on a Sunday. I was like Fuck it, I'll just take it. Not sitting there in a crowded place for another 20 minutes. Food quality is good as any other Bafang I've been too. The space itself is too small for how popular it is during peak hours atm. It also needs another trash can in the back near the restroom. When it's busy, it's too crowded to walk to the trash next to the fountain make to toss things away. I would give 5 stars if they didn't run out of Corn chowder and get my order wrong. Being busy is fine since it is a new location. Also, the worker getting my order wrong didn't really care of take accountability to make it better. They were very nonchalant and didn't care. Pretty unacceptable as summertime who had also worked in the food industry read more
