    My friends and I started a fun little monthly tradition where we try new foods on Fridays at least once a month. Last week, we got to try Bafang Dumpling, and we were in for a treat! For four people, and about 7-8 different items, the total came out to around $71. Personally, I think that was a steal for the amount of food we got! This place is kind of a Noodle St/DTF dupe but with slightly different flavors. We got the hot and sour soup, pork chop with rice, signature potstickers, fortune dumplings, signature dumplings, Bafang Taiwanese beef noodle soup, old fashioned noodles, and spicy wontons. Online ordering made it super easy to swing by and pick up, but the parking lot is still pretty packed. I can't really pick a favorite because everything was so good and the price was great. Glad to have tried this spot, and definitely will add to my rotation of dumpling spots!

    Got our usual takeout today (corn chicken dumplings) with hot and sour soup. My 11 year old spit out a piece of hard sharp plastic that was in one of the dumplings! I thought maybe it was an uncooked cornel, but it's broken plastic!! He could've swallowed this!! This is seriously a liability!! I called the store and they said it probably could've been a piece of utensil used to mix the filling.

    Came to Bafang Dumpling one weekday night and they were pretty busy. At first there were no seats, so we ordered to go, but then a table opened up so we ended up staying to eat there anyway. We waited about 20 minutes for the food which felt a little long, but not terrible considering how packed it was. They are more of a togo kind of place The potstickers were my favorite. The thin size and the texture make them so fun to eat, and they had a really nice crisp on the bottom. I could honestly just eat those on their own and be happy. I got the special Lunar New Year set which came with their signature dumplings in beef noodle soup. The broth was really good, rich and comforting, but I actually preferred the potstickers over the dumplings in the soup. Still tasty, just not my personal favorite style. We also got their signature noodles which had a nice kick to it and really good chewy noodles. Super satisfying if you like a bit of spice.

    Bafang Dumpling was delicious!!! We got the gyoza and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup which both were so tasty and flavorful. I personally LOVED the noodle soup. The service was great and the food was prepared quickly. Definitely recommend Bafang dumpling for a quick bite!

    For being a dumpling place, there wasn't anything special about these. Got the signature dumplings and signature potstickers, and both were on the blander side. Definitely reminded me of frozen section dumplings and potstickers. Sauces were also underwhelming. Didn't eat in, so can't speak to service or ambiance, but I won't be back.

    Bafang Dumpling is a well known franchise started in Taiwan, now with several locations in the US. Located in the same strip mall with 99 Ranch Market at Jeffrey and Walnut near Fwy 5, this is a convenient location for people in Orange County. While I'm here for pot stickers today, but their braised beef noodle is equally famous. I'm also interested to try the new item on the list: pork chop with braised pork rice. I arrived 2:30 to avoid the lunch crowd. They have several tables of guests but no long line. The young man taking orders was courteous and efficient. The hardest part was waiting for my order as they are made to order. I'm glad I have a Bafang nearby.

    So good! Our party of three got two orders of the beef noodle soup and one order of the dumplings which was perfect. Food only takes about seven minutes so perfect for a quick bite. The restaurant is fun with music and history about the place. I would definitely come back!!

    Pork chop
    Kailee B.

    This is our go to Taiwanese restaurant on busy nights. They recently added pork chop rice to the menu and it's only $10 and it's delicious, authentic, and homey. Their pork chop, in my opinion, is the best tasting in California, reminiscent of the Pork Chops King in Taiwan that I really missed but have retired. They are not the same but closest to my ideal favorite that I can find in California. I love their spicy noodles and perfectly fried dumplings as well. I love their sauce of the spicy noodles. It has a very unique taste that's different than the spicy Chinese noodles at other stores. Their place is always kept pretty clean. The people there are usually pretty friendly. I've visited a few BaFang's in Taiwan as it's a popular chain in Taiwan. I like the owners spin on their version of BaFang for US.

    Signatures noodles
    Yummy T.

    Food thumbs down! Signature Potstickers - not crispy, super thin and no flavor. Prefer real Japanese potstickers these seem to be emulating. Signature noodles - The "mala" spicy sauce has an off putting flavor. Noodles too soft. Go to any Chinese restaurant for better noodles. Pork chop braised pork rice - soggiest smallest pork chop ever. Tiny chopped braised pork. Surprisingly small portion like little kids size. Does not hold up to Vietnamese pork chop rice, Japanese/Korean Katsu, which this dish seems to be reminiscent of.

    12 Signature Potstickers and Wonton Soup
    Annie Y.

    There are plenty of parking spaces, but if you want to park in front of the restaurant, it may be limited. Inside the store, has limited seating as well, but it doesn't get packed where it's hard to find a spot. I ordered the Number 2: 12 Signature Potstickers with Wonton Soup. They have a small station where you can get vinegar and soy sauce. The potstickers were crispy and delicious. The Wonton Soup was also good, with the wontons and surprisingly in a decently sized bowl. I thought it was a smaller portion, but it wasn't. It was a good meal! Recommendation(s): - Number 2: 12 Signature Potstickers with Wonton Soup Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Order first and then get seated - Small sauce station - Plenty of parking - Accept Apple Pay - Restrooms available

    Pork chop, rice, meat sauce = working mans lunch.
    Dave L.

    Update to my earlier reviews of this place. Many of you probably have never been to Taiwan in the summer. I have many times, and I do not miss the heat. What I do miss is my go to staple: pork chop and rice. Yes, the working man's meal for millions of Taiwanese workers. They are stuffed into little metal lunch boxes with a fancy chip on the end to keep the food fresh. The working man's lunch is a pork chop, rice, meat sauce, tofu, pickles, and a veggie. Oh, if you have lived in Taiwan, this is making complete sense to you. Guess what? I have good news! Bafang has now created this meal and is selling it for just $10.00 It is as authentic as it gets. The line should be out the door for this. Thank you for restoring a memory in my life.

    Old Fashioned Noodle, 6 Signature Potstickers, Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Natalie Y.

    tried bafang and it was pretty yummy! I liked the old fashioned noodles the most bc it was chewy and simple~ not too crazy on flavor but it was comforting in a way. potstickers were good! tastes like home cooking. pork chop Lu rou fan was also pretty delish. would come back again bc its cheap and cozy and tasty :D it's mainly self service bc you order first at the front and then pick it up when its ready. you also get your own sauce and drinks on the side. and at the end, u have to put your own trays, dishes, and trash away

    I heard of Bafang Dumpling for a while now but when I went myself I was really surprised to see how they're basically a casual fastfood concept of a dumpling restaurant that originatd in Taiwan. I cross-checked with my Taiwanese friend and they mentioned how this cheap eats in Taiwan is a big rip off by compare over in the states. Not that it's expensive but it's low quality and not that cheap. I ordered the Combo #3 ($14.95) that came with 6 Signature Potstickers and 6 Signature Dumplings and my choice of a soda or soup. I opted for the hot and soup soup. They give you a pager that goes off when your food is ready. There was limited seating and it was really cramped. Self serve on sauces and utensils. I didn't see staff cleaning my whole time there. When I got my food I initially excited to try it... but biting into it was disappointing. Both fillings were more cabbage than meat. Super blandddd. The hot and sour soup was on the chunky side, which I like in texture, but I did not like in taste. I am definitely not coming bad. Doesn't look like I was missing out on anything.

    Came here on a hot Tuesday and tried an iced winter melon drink with 3Q toppings (boba, coconut…read morejelly, and bo-bo). Light ice, very low sugar. It was pretty good! We decided to order at the kiosk and it was pretty smooth. Drinks came out within 5min. It wasn't busy, which was surprising given the temperature and the hour (noon). But that parking lot gets packed and there are so many places to go there. The drink was very refreshing. Great flavor. Since wintermelon is so mild, the sweetness of the drink really came through. The boba was still nice and warm, which is what I like in my drinks. The coconut jelly and bo-bo had nice texture to it. There are seats up and down the shops, including covered seating, which was great on such a hot day.

The tea was only okay, and was quite pricey. I liked the brulee but slightly wished it was torched a bit more. I could not really taste the texture of the green tea jelly and the milk tea itself was also pretty average. There is seating outside but just one bench inside that people could also wait at. Since drinks does take a while I think more seating should be added.

She's a picky when it comes to food, so if she recommends something.. it must be really goooood :) As soon as we went inside, this fresh aromatic flower smell hits my nose; smelled clean and homey. The service is alright with the great smile :) My girl ordered the Mango Coconut for me, which is refreshing because of the chunk of sweet mangoes in it. The coconut is not overwhelming as well, it seemingly blended each other flavor. It is refreshing and not too sweet to my taste. The small boba compliments the drink itself. Overall, a great recommendation for boba lovers :)

Went during lunch and there were about 10 orders ahead of mine. Ordered 30 minutes ahead and the drink was still not ready. There is no separate lines for pickups and ordering in person so everyone was just cutting each other. The app said my order was ready so I had to wait in the long line just to get to the front and she said they were still making my drink... I stepped to the side and waited another 10 min. I see the drinks come out but there's no announcements or anything. I had to get back in line again and then ask her for my drink.. If your ordering system is purely reliant on the app and number on the screen, it should be accurate! Or just make a separate area for pickups! You have one person in the front handling orders and serving drinks. This is terrible for the employees and the customers. Drinks were decent tho..

Tangy Fresh Peach Slush Super refreshing with a nice sweet-and-tangy balance. It doesn't taste overly sweet or artificial. I found out they use 4401 premium white peaches, which explains why the peach flavor tastes so natural. Perfect for a hot day! Peach Yogurt Yakult This one might actually be my favorite! The combination of white peach, Yakult, and organic Greek yogurt gives it a smooth, creamy texture while still keeping that fresh peach flavor. Really refreshing and flavorful without feeling too heavy. If you like peach drinks or anything with a sweet-and-tangy flavor, I'd definitely recommend giving these two a try.

It has clear jelly-like balls, fresh peach inside, and a great slush texture. It is reminiscent of Sunright frosties (which are my favorite). We also ordered the Brulee Thai Tea Slush, which didn't come with a topping but the flavor was spot on. Would definitely come here again!
