    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Had this in temple city and liked it a lot. This one just opened up in Arcadia in the mall. Pretty much the same, same flavoring and same menu. This location is much more spacious than the temple city one. You order in the front w someone and they will give you those buzzers when the food is ready, it'll buzz. It was pretty busy when we went. We ordered 2 combos and both tastes just like I thought it would. Potstickers were filled w meats and done perfectly. The condiments and utensils are by the counter. This spot is more of a grab and go or sit down for a quick bite type of spot.

    Beautiful location with a pretty adequate and large dining space! The place looks clean and new, with many customers dining in and out. Most people may prefer to eat for here, but they also do takeout. I like how many of the utensils and sauce condiments are organized neatly near the pickup counter. Depending on time of day, it can be busy with lots of families but I was able to come by during a slow period of cooldown. The dumplings I got was a single order of their signature Bafang dumplings, yet they did take a long while. I recommend sitting down to wait for your order as it took longer than I would expect. The dumplings themselves were steaming hot, flavorful, and with great textures.

    New location in the mall! Lots of seating with an area to get drinks, sauces, and utensils. Service was fast. I got the signature dumplings and corn chowder combo. The dumpling was so juicy and soft. I've always loved the corn chowder!! This location is no different.

    I wasn't a fan of the Bafang in Temple City, but I needed a bite at the Santa Anita Mall in the morning -- and this place opens pretty early. This Bafang is miles better than the one in Temple City in terms of both taste and speed. I got my food within ten minutes, and the prices were pretty reasonable IMO. I ordered a few combos, and here are my thoughts: Signature Dumplings (Boiled + Pan-Fried) - Nothing too special IMHO, but they tasted good. About the same as frozen dumplings, but still decent overall. (3.5/5) Wonton Soup - It tasted good, but it was so fatty -- you could see the layer of oil on top. The wontons were decent, but I definitely didn't want to finish the soup. (3/5) Bafang Signature Noodles - I actually liked these noodles, though if you're not a fan of peanuts, this one might not be for you. It has a very strong peanut/sesame flavor, so just FYI. (4/5) Corn Chowder - A super simple dish, but I actually really enjoyed it. It had chunks of ham and a few other ingredients. (4.5/5) Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back for some affordable dumplings. (Total was about $31 for two combos, and we left full.) I never had high expectations coming here, but I'm glad this experience was definitely better than my previous visits to Bafang.

    You know for a location at the mall it has a really good price point for meal. I think just need to add a drink. The hype is kinda over so it wasn't too bad of a line and not too long of a wait for the food to come out. The space is nice, plenty of seating. (Enough space for a toddler to bring out all of his travel toys) I need to come back to try the rest of the menu

    This place is highly recommended by a church sister so decided to give it a try. And now it's my…read morefavorite beef noodles place beside my mom's kitchen. The lady at the cashier was so sweet and friendly. She patiently introduced me to their menu and food, made recommendations. I'm very pleased by her customer service. It is a small to medium restaurant, nice and clean throughout. Very welcoming like a family restaurant. It was a to-go order and they packed the food pretty well so the noodles don't get soggy. The flavor is so rich with layers, beef is braised so tender and the portion is super generous. My family and I enjoyed everything very much. I can't wait to go back and try more.

    This is a casual eatery. Nothing fancy but the menu has some Taiwanese classics so I gave it a try…read more Most people in the restaurant had ordered their beef noodle soup, and they smelled pretty authentic. But I ordered the pork intestine noodle soup because I don't see this on many menus. The flavor was average -- tastes familiar, but not something I would go out of my way for. The soup was weirdly lumpy -- I know it's supposed to be thickened with a corn starch slurry, but this was lumpy like someone didn't properly dissolve the starch in the slurry before adding it to the soup. Didn't really affect the taste but was not as smooth as I would've expected. I also ordered a side of braised kelp, which was ok but a bit sweeter than I like it. The staff was friendly and they were playing a Taiwanese song from 1989 that I heard when I was young, which adds to the nostalgia. It's not the best Taiwanese food I've had in LA but I'll probably come back to try their beef noodle soup. You know, for science.

    Yummy Taiwanese food! Another review by David L. mentioned this place was similar to Sinbala and I…read morecan attest that it truly is similar. I ordered the pork chop rice and the pork chop had a great crispy exterior and was very juicy as well. The dish came with sauteed cabbage, half a tea egg, sauteed corn/peas/carrot mix and a bean curd. Portion was large and I was able to eat half for another meal! My friend got the chicken chop rice and the portion was even bigger than the pork chop rice! I will come back to try that one. Our group also ordered the popcorn chicken and that was juicy as well. Wished they added thai basil to the popcorn chicken but it was still delicious without it! Would 10/10 come back again.

    forgot @Jessica W. reviewed that this place changed owners. we liked their food from the past…read moreowner 牡丹/Chef. so hubby and I brought my mom and my MIL here for dinner on a Friday evening around 7pm. the place was small to begin with and it's packed with only 1 table of 4 left. the inside was upgraded/remodeled so it looked a lot cleaner than the previous restaurant. new menu design but basically the same dishes are available plus there're some Taiwanese street food. we found out the owner changed but they kept the same chef in the kitchen. when the dried tofu with pork 香乾肉絲 was served and my mom has the most picky tastebuds, without asking she said "this dish is very good". personally I was impressed with the cutting skill for the dish as both the pork and dried tofu are cut very thin so the flavor can easily get into the tofu and pork. and the dried tofu was soft like a noodle. the eggplants was also very tasty with lots of basil flavor. compared to the other 2 dishes, the braised tofu 紅燒豆腐 was ok as the sauce is a little too thick. and the fried chicken was bland. service was good and attentive. we would come back to have (don't need to try as it's the same chef) their famous "kidney with sesame oil 麻油腰花" again.

    I have been a long time fan of Ding's Garden. I went to their original location in Rowland Heights…read moremany moons ago but have been only returning to their Arcadia location.  There's so many good items on their menu but here are my usual go to: *XLB - juicy and full of flavor. definitely tastes great eating it fresh *fried pork chop (appetizer)  - perfect portion size and crunch.  *shanghai noodles - my kids love this dish and we usually have to order 2. *shrimp fried rice - this one is a good portion size and tastes great.  *pan fried wontons - this is my hubby's favorite. we like to dip this with the XLB dipping sauce. this is surprisingly pretty juicy too so be prepared for it to burst.  If you can't tell by now, this is a great go to spot to fill the belly and not break the bank. Staff are really nice and on top of it. A clean establishment and this Yelper definitely gives it 2 thumbs up.   Tips: Indoor seating only. Accepts credit card. Restroom available for customers. Ask for the sweet chili oil. That's the best, that they keep in a cold fridge. Made fresh and is a great addition to your dishes. Parking is shared with other local businesses i.e. Vons, subway, Yifang, etc.

    My friend and I were craving Taiwanese food and came across this spot. We ordered the beef roll,…read morebeef noodle soup and the pork chop fried rice (not pictured, was too hungry). All of the dishes tasted so good. It had a comforting feeling to it. My favorite was the pork chop fried rice. The fried rice had wok hei to it and was flavorful. It didn't just taste like rice and eggs. The pork chop was also very tender! My friend's favorite was the beef noodle soup. He's Taiwanese and ranks this as one of the best ones he's ever had! The beef noodle soup was also flavorful and they give a good amount of tender beef pieces. The beef roll was just okay. The dough could've been a bit thicker and crunchier. It had the texture of a tortilla instead. Service was excellent! The server was quick and attentive. We received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating inside and parking is in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back and would also recommend!
