    6 Signature Potstickers, Wonton Soup, Bafang Signature Noodle
    Emeline T.

    For a fast-casual/food court-vibe eatery, the food here is really tasty! You order and pay at the counter, then pick up your food when the beeper goes off. Sauces, utensils, and drinks are self serve. I've been a few times for lunch on weekends and they're usually pretty busy. I've tried the wonton soup, signature noodle, and signature potstickers, and I really like all of them. The wonton soup has a soothing, yummy broth and the wontons are pretty flavorful. The signature noodle is creamy and a little spicy (mala flavor). The potstickers can be a little oily but they have a thin wrapper and aren't too doughy or dense. Honestly I don't have any complaints. The food has been consistently tasty every time I have dined here, and the portions are a reasonable size. My sister and I shared the three items pictured and we were satisfied and not overly full afterward.

    Signature Bafang Noodles and Potstickers

    Bafang Dumpling recently opened near our place, so we decided to stop by for lunch. It seemed like a quick and convenient spot for lunch if you were craving some dumplings and noodles. Everything is self-serve, you order in the front and they call your order when it's ready. They offer a variety of combos with options to mix and match noodles, soup, dumplings, etc. We went with Combo 2, which is a choice of potstickers with wonton soup. They offer four different kinds of potstickers, including a veggie option, but we ended up with the original pork option. We also ordered a Signature Bafang Noodles, which was both the sesame + mala flavors mixed together. I really enjoyed the flavor and bounciness of the noodles - the mala flavor added the perfect kick that paired nicely with the nuttiness of the sesame flavors. I wished the potstickers were a little crunchier, it was missing that crispy flat bottom that I know and love. The wonton soup was solid, soup was very soothing with the clear broth. Overall, not a bad option for lunch. It is a chain though, so you know what to expect, but I think there are better local dumpling spots around the area.

    I went again because I was in the area. I decided to try their dry noodles. I didn't like it because I do not like their spices. Potstickers is an upgrade from before because I ate there so it didn't get rubbery or limp. Service is still great even though it was busy. The restaurant and restroom are clean.

    Bafang Dumpling is now one of the places I'd return to because it's just that good. We arrived at 12pm on a Thursday and it was super packed since it was during lunch. However, I could see it being busy despite lunch time! There's plenty of seating including bar tables towards the back of the restaurant. However, it may be difficult to snag a seat during lunch hour! The seats are first come first serve. We ordered the mala spicy beef noodle soup and it was super flavorful! The noodles stood out to me because they were al dente and also bouncy at the same time. The BEST Taiwanese beef noodle soup I've ever had! We also tried the bafang signature noodles which was amazing. The seasoning is well balanced between savory and nutty with a touch of sweetness. The wonton soup that came with the combo was seasoned perfectly and had a lot of depth. 5/5 experience and I'll definitely be back as often as I'm able xD

    Visited on Sunday around 4 PM, the restaurant was quiet. I was just looking for a quick meal to go, ordered Combo #1, which included 12 signature potstickers with hot and sour soup. The atmosphere was weird, the cashier who took my order didn't greet me or smile and poker face throughout the ordering process. After waiting about 30 minutes, I returned to the counter to check on the status. Another staff who seemed to be a team leader, acted like he didn't see me. When I asked about my order, he simply turned toward the kitchen and asked the staff without acknowledging me or saying anything. After checking, he turned back and told me it would be another 10 minutes. The slowness and the lack of customer service was frustrating, especially when the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. The food itself was good, and I enjoyed the potstickers. However, the slow service and unfriendly interactions making the experience unpleasant for me.

    12 Signature Potstickers + Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice

    Overall this was a solid and easy spot for a quick meal. I ordered to go on a Thursday evening, and my food was ready when I arrived. It wasn't too busy inside, there was lots of seating available, and parking in the lot was easy. The setup looked pretty straightforward: order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. Staff were friendly during my brief interaction too. I got the 12 signature pot stickers with pork and cabbage filling, plus the pork chop with braised pork belly rice. The pot stickers were longer than the pot stickers I'm used to, but I liked them. They were crispy on the bottom, and the thicker soy sauce that came with the order tasted great. It also came with a spicy chili paste sauce. Since I got them to go, they obviously weren't quite as crispy by the time I ate them, but I could still easily eat 12 of these in one sitting. The pork chop rice dish was also pretty good. It came with white rice, diced braised pork belly on top, pickled cucumber and cabbage, and the crispy pork chop. The pork chop had some sort of sauce on top, so it was no longer crispy by the time I ate it. I think I would've liked it more if the sauce came on the side, but the flavors were still good. Overall, decent prices, quick service, and an easy place to grab a meal. I'd probably dine in next time if I wanted the pot stickers and pork chop to stay crispier.

    Long story short, the dumplings are way better than the noodles. We ordered the veggie potstickers and the corn and chicken dumplings and they were great. I like the texture of the wrap and the flavors of the filling. We also ordered the sesame noodles and the signature noodles. The sesame noodles basically tasted like peanut butter noodles, and the signature noodles were OK. They were a little bit spicy, but the flavor profiles were just flat. I was expecting maybe more dimension in their sauce and I wish the noodles were more al dente. After a few bites, you kinda get sick of eating it so I wouldn't recommend one portion of noodles for one person. It's probably better to share and do family style with these dishes if you wanna try it. This place was super packed when I got there at lunchtime on a weekday. The food came out relatively fast as well. I just feel like I probably wouldn't go back just for the dumplings myself, especially since you can buy it and bring it home and to make.

    Full spread!

    Came with 3 other friends and we each got a different combo. Honestly, I enjoyed everything EXCEPT the corn chowder, and also appreciated the reasonable prices! Some stand-outs for me were the kimchi dumplings (so juicy and flavorful), spicy noodles (a must if you love spicy peanut-y noodles), and the wonton soup (very comforting). I definitely would come back for those. The signature pan fried gyozas were crispy, juicy, and tasty as well but I didn't feel that they stood out from other dumpling joints. The pork chop over rice was also good; the pork was very tender and juicy. The place is super casual; order at the cashier, get a buzzard, seat yourself and wait for you buzzard to go off to get your order. Drinks and sauces are self-serve at the station. An overall solid spot and I can see why it's become a small chain!

    Kimchi & Pork Dumplings
    Lloyd C.

    One of our friends picked up some dumplings from Bafang Dumpling and brought them to our potluck dinner. Signature Dumplings: Authentic, steamed dumplings hand wrapped with savory pork and cabbage filling Kimchi & Pork Dumplings: Steamed dumplings hand wrapped with juicy pork and kimchi filling. Veggie Dumplings: Plant-based goodness in steamed dumplings, hand wrapped with shitake mushrooms, crisp cabbage, and plant-based meat. All the dumplings are juicy and flavorful! Dip them in sauce or eat them plain. They are so good. I can't wait to dine-in and enjoy them. Support your local business!

    A location opened up in San Jose, so I knew I had to try it! I've been to locations in SoCal and always enjoyed how delicious and affordable their food was. If you can't decide, I recommend getting their combo because you get a soup and some dumplings also. Signature pot stickers (5/5): Super solid and reliable. The inside was so flavorful and the dumpling was perfectly crispy Kimchi pot stickers (5/5): Recommend this if you want something more spicy. The kimchi flavor was very powerful. Hot and sour soup (5/5): Super solid as it reminded me of the soups at weddings inside of Chinese restaurants. Luckily, I live very close; so I will be back.

    I'm glad they opened another location :) Items I ordered: 1. Combo 3 (6pc potsticker, 6pc dumpling, and choice of soup or soda). I got the signature potsticker, corn and chicken dumplings, and their corn chowder. - I recommend getting their combos to try a variety of dishes. Personally I prefer the potstickers, but I do enjoy the corn and chicken as the filling more. I would prob try their hot and sour soup instead next time. 2. Pork chop with braised pork belly rice + 6 pc kimchi and pork potstickers: My fav dish! Everything was good. Loved the braised pork belly and I liked the pickled veggies. Would be nice if they sold braised pork belly bowl with egg. The kimchi potstickers were good too that even my bf that doesn't usually like kimchi, enjoyed it. 3. Crispy Wontons: Satisfied my cravings of fried wontons. Rec this too. Service was quick and friendly. Parking: Easy, in plaza. Place was spacious, clean, bright, and decent amount of seating if you were to dine in.

    First time trying Bafang and I came into it knowing it's a Taiwanese fast casual chain. They primarily sell noodles and dumplings. It's nice that they also offer combos. I kind of wish their dry noodle dishes themselves had protein in them, but that's me nitpicking. I tried a combo with their signature dry noodles and pot stickers. I liked that the pot stickers had a thin exterior and the filling was juicy. The noodles were chewy and the sauce definitely hit the spicy, nutty notes. However, it was a lot of carbs and I had a hard time finishing it. The noodles and the pot stickers were decent, but nothing much better than what I can get in a grocery store. I believe the overall quality of frozen pot stickers/dumplings and even instant noodles brands these days has really gone up (some of them even feel premium), and I don't feel like this particular meal outclassed them. I heard their beef noodles are good though, so if I do return, I might try that instead. But for now, I think Bafang is average eats.

    We just visited again, and I think I found my favorite meal here. Actually, the whole family loved everything we ordered this time! I went with the #8 Bafang Pork Chop + Old Fashioned Noodle + Soda combo. One thing I really appreciate is how customizable the menu is. There's a note that allows you to substitute the pork chop for the Chili Pepper Fried Chicken, which I happily did. You can also swap the noodle flavor, but the Old Fashioned Noodle description, savory scallion and soy sauce base topped with crisp bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, and green onions sounded too good to pass up. I'm so glad I stuck with the Old Fashioned Noodle. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the flavor was simple but incredibly satisfying. For the drink, the cashier mentioned I could substitute it for either corn chowder or hot and sour soup. I chose the hot and sour soup. It was okay, but not really my favorite. Next time I'll definitely try the corn chowder instead. This combo is officially my favorite meal here so far. The Chili Pepper Fried Chicken tastes just like Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the dipping sauce that comes with it is sweet with a little kick of spice. It paired perfectly with the noodles. Every visit has been consistently good, and this meal sealed the deal for me. I'll definitely be back for this again.

It's tucked inside the…read moreRamada Hotel in Sunnyvale, and the setup is surprisingly nice--clean banquet seating, way less cramped than your usual dim sum spots, and they have huge TVs all over the place. We actually watched the World Cup final here and the atmosphere was awesome. The dim sum is traditional Hong Kong style, and the quality is definitely there. You definitely need to get the Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Buns. They look cool with the black and gold style, and the molten salted egg yolk center is perfectly rich without being overly sweet. The Lychee Shrimp Balls are super unique too; they look exactly like real lychees on the outside but are stuffed with a snappy shrimp paste that isn't greasy at all. For the classic stuff, the Har Gaw and Siu Mai hit the spot--the skins hold up well without tearing and the pieces are nice and plump. The Baked BBQ Pork Buns are also great, with that crispy, sweet polo-style topping and a good amount of savory pork filling inside. Service can be a little slow on busy weekends since the place gets packed with families, but the staff keeps the kitchen moving as fast as they can. If you want high-quality Cantonese comfort food, excellent dim sum, and a great space to catch a game, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Fried E-Fu Noodle with Lobster - the lobster is fresh and huge, great flavor without being overly salty nor greasy. Black Pepper Beef Fillet with Assorted Mushroom, I like the tender beef and the mushrooms were well seasoned. Sautéed Chinese Broccoli (kailan) with Dried Flounder Flake, the flavor was good, but the kailan stems were cut too large, difficult to eat. We finished with satisfying desserts, Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun was excellent with the lava effect. Mango Pomelo Sago was awesome, and the Snow Lotus Seed Peach Resin was really good and not too sweet. Everyone was full and happy.

    I don't know even how to begin this review, because this place was BEYOND AWFUL. We have been here…read moremany times over the years because of our Chinese family friends. First, let's start with cleanliness. The bathroom was disgusting. If this is where the cooks relieve and wash their hands, yikes! Literally a biohazard. Trash overflowing and everything was sticky and the toilets were very dirty. Just yikes. Also if you look at the dining inspection score on the Santa Clara county website, it scored a literal 20/100. This is worse than competitors for kitchen cleanliness. This explains the many food poisoning reviews here. We got served raw food and things that looked a bit spoiled here and luckily we spotted it and didn't get sick. Read the inspection report and it's really disgusting. I'm not sure how this place is still open. I get service at Chinese restaurants serving primarily Chinese immigrants isn't top tier, but this place takes it to the next level in being abysmal. The front desk staff is belligerent and they DO NOT RESPECT YOUR RESERVATION and make you stand outside and wait for up to 30 minutes. This happened to us a couple times. Also if you are an English speaker/non Chinese speaker, the front desk staff only speaks mandarin for the most part so good luck too if you are a Cantonese speaker. They also hold and reserve table numbers for refused to jump the waitlist and reservations. That was just the host staff, the waiters were not better. Waiters were very hard to flag down and sometimes they see you and ignore you because they don't want to serve you and do their job. They also are too busy sometimes and seem overworked so their employer (a very rich duo of brothers) need to treat their employees better and train them better so they have a better attitude for customers. We also had one waiter when cleaning our table poured our water glasses into a bowl then dumped in onto the carpet onto the ground which was a first for me and my family. This was very memorable in a bad way. The environment is also very uncomfortable to dine in. The seating is packed in so tight that it's so loud you can't hear the other people at your table. It's also a fire hazard since several emergency exits were visibly blocked by tables, chairs, or people crowding at the entrance. I've seen reviews here and on Google claiming to have reported the restaurant to the fire marshal. This seems to be true because there were several times the restaurant de densified the dining room before densifying it again weeks later. If a fire broke out, this would be deadly due to exits being blocked and the restaurant being over capacity. This place is just waiting for something really bad to happen. This place is also very expensive and claims to be an elevated authentic dim sum experience targeting Chinese immigrants and ABCs. And it sucks for the price paid given the food, service, and environment (and the literal fire danger they put you in) Finally, as many have complained here, there is a mandatory 18% gratuity and they demand a tip on top of it. They hide it from their menu so you don't find out, but that's illegal in California to hide a mandatory gratuity. Honestly, the gratuity isn't worth it for the nasty service and food anyways. The only have it because the owners know their restaurant is so bad they have to put a gratuity because otherwise people won't pay tips. What a joke of a business, I'm not sure why so many people still support it by singing its praises here and patronizing a restaurant that clearly doesn't care about either its employees or customer.

Service was not bad - they refilled ice water multiple times, which was surprising for a Chinese restaurant.

The menu included: - Chicken soup - Stir fried beef with vegetables - Cold marinated chicken and geoduck - Fish maw with pea sprouts and shiitakes - Fried egg tofu - Steamed fish - Twin lobsters with vermicelli - Suckling pig with steamed buns - Fried rice The highlight was the fish roe fried rice: great texture and flavor. Other things were variable in flavor. For example, the lobster was good, but the vermicelli texture and flavor were lacking. The banquet menu we got was good value and was more than enough food. I am definitely interested in trying their weekend dim sum.

    My second time here for lunch. There's no wait on a weekday last time. 3 of us came here on…read moreSaturday around noon, and had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. Even though their parking lot had a lot of cars, it's so big that there're still plenty of spaces. Their inside was huge as well. Because of the high ceiling, it didn't feel too crowded, even though it was packed. They had a lot of servers, too, though getting the attention of one took a while. Our server highly recommended their sea bass 2 ways (congee and chow fun) on their daily special menu. We would have ordered that if they still had fish at ~2lb, but they only had fish at ~3lb, which would be too big for us, as we would like to order some dim sum as well. So, we just ordered from their dim sum menu. The 2 different house teas we ordered came out pretty quickly, but it took a while for the food to come. The Sauteed Turnip Cake in XO Sauce was the dish I liked the most. It could still use more XO sauce, though. Pork & Crab Roe Siu Mai was gigantic; taste was normal. I wished they had chili sauce at the table. We're too busy catching up and didn't bother to flag down someone to get some. The Fried Bean Curd Skin Roll w/ Shrimp was not bad, just a bit oily. The Fried Chinese Donut Wrapped in Rice Noodle w/ Dried Shrimp was on point; it came with a peanut sauce on the side. The Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce were well cooked and off the bones. The Salted Egg Yolk Lava Black Bun wasn't too sweet; the inside was more runny than we expected. We're already stuffed after having 6 dim sum dishes. Overall, dim sum was solid, but on the more expensive side. While their service was typical for a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area, they did apply a 16% service charge to the bill automatically, which was stated on their menu.
