    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Vanessa W.

    Stopped by Bafang Dumpling and really enjoyed it! The restaurant is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the potstickers were absolutely delicious with a crisp on the outside and a good filling. For all my dietary restriction buddies, the ingredients for the signature potstickers contain pork, cabbage, and green onions/chives. I actually had to dissect one to figure it out since it wasn't obvious at first and the ingredients are not listed on the menu. Service was great and the ordering/pickup is very well organized with a pager system. I also tried the pork chop, which was tender, flavorful, and made for a really satisfying meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    I came here with a couple of friends and we decided to order a bunch of things to try: - pork chop w/ pork belly rice bowl - bafang signature noodle - signature dumplings - signature potstickers - corn chowder We liked the potstickers the most but they weren't crispy but food came out pretty fast!

    The first Bafang in California opened near the run down Puente Hills Mall. I've been there a couple of times. I knew that they were like a fast food restaurant serving up some fast and cheap food. It surprised me that we decided to try them while on a recent business trip because I've never been impressed. I was impressed with this location. They are located in a nicer shopping center in Santa Clara with a Whole Foods and lots of nice restaurants. Surprisingly I visited twice on a recent business trip because I wasn't too hungry and didn't want to spend too much. Parking is almost impossible for this restaurant. Bafang was less then 5 minutes of driving from my hotel, but took over 20 minutes of looking for a parking spot. The dumplings and potstickers have a pork and cabbage filling. All the Taiwan natives in Southern California say it reminds them of Taiwan. I'm not a native. I think they are okay and won't go out of my way for it. Their combos are nicely priced for a cheapskate like me. With the hotel feeding my wife and I half a dinner, we didn't have to order much. I liked their noodles more than their dumplings. I don't like their cabbage filling. When you want cheap, you get cabbage. They are in a good location where you can't park in the evenings. The food is cheap and okay. I might visit again when on another business trip in the area.

    I made a DoorDash order and I was excited to try them out. I've never been to Bafang, based on what I heard about the congested parking situation and the crowded patrons, so I'm really glad that I can give them a try without the burden. The experience with the food was just ok. I ordered a mini wonton soup and a pack of 6 signature dumplings. The wonton soup tasted ok, the soup got the umami flavors as you get from MSG, but I had no MSG reactions afterwards; unfortunately, all the wonton were broken. The wrappings were thin, but they all broke, leaving the meatball fillings floating around. The steamed dumplings also tasted ok. Although the wrapping looked thick, it didn't have that chewy gluten texture that I dislike. I found the fillings tasted fine, but there's this sense of air and space b/w the wrapper and the fillings. My friend echoed my feelings and said she always felt like not eating enough substances when eating their dumplings for hot pot. I also tried one potsticker, not bad, but potstickers are just not great for take-out, as they easily lose the crispiness, and the oil could overwhelm the dumplings. I'm not happy with their take-out packaging, as all the potstickers were left in various boxes without markings. We were so confused by which was which, and my friend had to sniff inside each box to find her kimchi potsticker. lol I also tried a piece of beef from the beef noodle soup. The beef was soft, but it lacked flavor compared to Flaming Ox.

    Amazing TW dumplings!!! I have been there multiple times already. their bento with pork cutlet was super amazing too. Totally worth a visit. Service: it's like a food court style. You order at the counter and you'll come back to pick up the food. Tips: remember to mix your own dipping sauce! Lots of tables inside and out. It's right near Whole Foods and a huge parking lot outside. parking can still get competitive at busy hours...

    Bafang Dumpling is a popular restaurant chain from Taiwan. This location has been open for a couple months now. I recently got the chance to dine here for dinner with my SO and friends. ORDER/REGISTRAR The staff are pretty busy. The employee that took our order was friendly and professional. SEATING After you order at the registrar, you find your own table to sit at. Also, you clean up after dining with several trash stations with tray carts, etc. FOOD - Bafang Signatue Potstickers x12 - Pork Chop with Briased Pork Belly Rice Bowl - Wonton Soup Everything was made fresh to order. We waited about 10-15 minutes for our food. Everything was delicious and tasty. The potstickers were crisp and the filling was well seasoned and flavorful. The rice bowl I ordered was comforting and tasty -- I love the pickled mustard greens and sweet pickled cucumber slices. Overall, it's a solid spot to enjoy Taiwanese comfort food. Next time, I'd like to try the Taiwanese beer noodle soup and explore other flavorful dumplings on the menu.

    This is another one of the chain that I had to round up the score as I couldn't give it a three half star. Been meaning to check this out for a couple months now. Decided to come by after catching a movie at the nearby theatre. Very spacious and clean place with a fast food/self service business model. You ordered at counter, pickup the food which comes in paper containers that you can dine there or take it to-go. Their signature noodle was really good in terms of the noodle texture and flavor. Noodle has the right level of chewiness and thickness which I like. It was very flavorful with mild spiciness and not too oily. I also had their veggie potstickers. It was not bad - a little on the oily side and I would love it if they had it more crispy on the outer wrap. As for dipping sauce, they have multiple sauces (garlic, sesame, vinegar, soy) on the counter for you to mix to your liking. The only thing I would not recommend ordering was their hot & sour soup which doesn't look nor taste like a hot & sour soup at all - in fact tasted weird in my opinion. My husband was disgusted with the soup.

    Bafang Signature Noodle
    Arthur T.

    Decided to try Bafang after some of the hype died down and in the late evening to avoid any potential waits. Two of us had: combo 7 $14.50 -mini wonton soup -bafang signature noodle 6 signature dumplings $6.95 fried pork chop $9.25 OVerall, OK meal. Wonton had too much wrapper. Noodle was way too saucey and overcooked. Dumplings were ok (too much dough) and pork chop was avg. Pricing wise, relatively reasonable. Nice ambiance inside. Food came out really slow for some reason, but maybe because we went in late. Limited parking in the plaza.

    First impression of this place is open, spacious and bright. It's a cafeteria-style that you order at the counter and find your own table. When your food is ready, you go get it at the counter on your own. Food is so-so, not as good as the hype. All the food we received are not served hot (temperature-wise). They're slightly luke warm and seems like it's been sitting around for awhile, and not freshly made. We ordered: - Signature Potstickers: They're not crispy at all. We can tell the pot stickers bren sitting around after being cooked. They're not freshly made to order. Very disappointing. - Signature Dumplings: They're ok, nothing special that I can't get anywhere else. Dumplings I got from other restaurants were served piping hot, but not here. - Pork Chop with braised pork belly rice: This is probably the best dish out of all. The pork chop is flavorful and tender. It comes with a little bit of preserved veggies. There is some sauce that flavor the rice too. However, the dish comes in room temperature and the rice is too hard (may be because the rice isn't served hot) - Bafang Signature Noodles: It's slightly spicy with a kick to it. Noodles are cooked well and chewy. There is no meat in this dish. The garlic sauce at the counter is very good to use as a dipping sauce for the potstickers and dumplings. Overall it's a big disappointment. Was hoping this to be a great dumpling place with a convenient location. I really wish all food were freshly cook to order and served piping hot.

    Good place and location for those who work across the street at a tech company too cheap to provide you free food. Also, why the vaulted ceilings? I kinda wish a KBBQ or smoke-heavy restaurant moved in here instead to take advantage of that. You could totally eat dumplings and do acrobatics in here, no problem. There is so much space for it. The beef noodle soup was okay. The dumplings soup was pretty good, I like how extra savory/oily the clear broth was. The dumplings were alright. The dry noodles were very good. Overall 3 stars, I wasn't wow-ed by their food offerings other than them having a Pepsi soda fountain that was self served and that the place was very nice and very clean. I heard about this place a year or maybe two ago when they opened one in Irvine. I didn't have the chance to get to try it because it was hella packed and that plaza down in Irvine just gets absolutely slammed at certain times of the day (they had also just opened a HEYTEA across from it down there as well).

    Nice location, very clean, and workers were helpful as a first timer. Everything I ordered was delicious but my favorite dish I have to come back for is the wonton soup. The broth was light, flavorful, and had a hint of lemon. The wontons were great as well. Sesame noodles were good, a little thick and heavy but great flavor almost like peanut butter. Potstickers were great and crispy too.

    Everything is just okay; nothing was bad but I felt like it was mediocre comparatively (to Taiwan lol). You order at the front, get a buzzer, and sit down. Food comes out on a tray for dine-in, but in to-go containers. Pretty casual which is nice. It's bright and relatively large inside, which is good because it got packed on a Saturday night. I would consider this fast casual Taiwanese food - potstickers, dumplings, a variety of noodles (cold and hot), etc. There are a few combos where you can save .50 to a buck ish, compared to ordering individual items if what you want to order happens to be in a combo. We got a few combos to try, the only item we didn't try was the beef noodle soup. Pork chop was pretty good; sweet, pounded flat, not too tendon-y. Chicken wasn't great, lots of tendon-y pieces. My parents liked it more than we did so they said they'll be back for the beef noodle soup. My corn chowder was completely cold, which was disappointing. Mala noodle was also bland; I tried to doctor it up myself with the sauce bar. Mala flavor was weird, not numbing or mala whatsoever, I should've stuck to their classic noodle. The dumpling/potsticker fillings are simple; we got the classic pork cabbage, but there is also corn, kimchi, etc. Relatively bland. The dough wasn't anything to write home about either (not QQ or anything). They just tasted like run of the mill decent frozen potstickers - hence - I was surprised that there were people buying their dumplings in bulk (they sell frozen bags in bulk at the front) There is a sauce bar with garlic soy, chili, soy, vinegar. Garlic soy was not garlicky whatsoever - thought there would be more flavor to the sauces. Overall, not bad, just confused as to why it's so packed for the mediocrity. Seems like everyone is nostalgic for Taiwanese food (most of the patrons seemed to be Taiwanese).

    It's been a little while since I've popped into a BD - but was a nice surprise here in San Jose area. This was much larger than the one in SoCal (Torrance) near my home - and it was filled nearly all tables at 2pm on a Thursday afternoon- always a good sign! I tried the rice bowl with braised pork belly and it was quite delicious- since I hadn't seen that on my local home menu recently. Food was ready in 2-3 minutes and service was quick and efficient. A great alternative to get something "fast" and yet feel bit healthier than most other places and options. Will be back to try the noodles next time (and some dumplings which I know are always great!)

In general, their dim sum was better than dinner, but tonight's dishes are worth mentioning. The good: 1. steamed lobster with rice vermicelli: good flavor and fresh lobster.

BBQ plate: loads of goodies, with my favorite cha siu, jelly fish, and pork belly cubes. 4. Soup with morel and chicken. Loads of morels! Could use a bit more salt but it's not that big a deal. The ones that could be improved: 1. small silver fish fried with egg yolk coating: a bit chewy, but good flavor. 2. sea cucumber stuffed with shrimp paste: indeed a hard to make dish at home, so we were all excited. But the sea cucumber was not well flavored; instead, it tasted quite fishy and earthy. Too bad this expensive dish was only half consumed. The bean sprouts at the bottom were a lot more desirable. 3. salt pepper chicken: it was seasoned with salt and pepper powder, but not cooked with salt at the pan, so the chicken lacks the heat and dryness from salt. At the night, a wedding reception was in place, but we were able to seat at the next room and enjoyed our noisy and loud cheers.

My last two times here was for dim sum takeout orders, and I honestly do not recommend ordering takeout. Both times were mediocre. The most recent time, we ordered 5 standard dim sum items on our phone while we were outside the restaurant. We ended up waiting at least 40 minutes for our food to be ready. When we asked for an update around the 30 minute mark, the lady at the counter was so unhelpful. Just said it's not ready without actually checking and then she turned away and ignored me. When we finally got our food, we ate it within 10 minutes, and the food was already lukewarm/almost cold. It was not worth the wait. Note ordering online has a $1 convenience fee. You wait for your takeout bag to be available on the long table inside, and then you take it to the nearby counter and pay there. Utensils and napkins are not automatically included in your bag. If we decide to come back, it would only be for dine in service. Never again for take out.

Until then, I'll be taking my dim sum outings to Walnut Creek instead.

Staff is always great, but it is hard to wave them down, as I often get confused between who can take my check, who can I ask for sauce or water, etc...

    We come here for dim sum whenever I'm back in my hometown. My kids request it because they know…read morethey will get consistent and tasty dim sum every time. On top of that, the restaurant is huge and service is always attentive. We have never had a bad meal here. Sui mai and har gow are juicy and plump, all the other staples are solid as well. My nephews woofed down at least 5-6 sui mai each, the love it there!

    Wow, Dumpling Capital is a small and unassuming resto with hole in the wall/mom & pop shop/family…read morebusiness feel (which we love)! We were seated right away, and granted, we were a bigger group of 7. The menu is extensive and we appreciate the affordability. Service is fast and they took our orders and served us waters as soon as we sat. We ordered: A08 five spice combo B08 peasprouts a22 cucumber salad B5 salt and pepper tofu* D19 zucchine fpling egg C3 pork siu mai D02 chive pork dumpling C08 chive pancake L03 eggdrop Crab meat soup dumpling Egg fried rice Veggie chow chow mein Beef pancake roll It was a feast, and lemme tell you the food came fast and all were so tasty! If I had to choose a dish to highlight, we collectively thought that the SALT & PEPPER TOFU was life changing!!!! Thanks DC, we wink be back in no time!

    Based on my previous positive review, I decided to give this place another try. Ordered pickup via…read moreUberEats: XLB 3/5 - Sadly, I feel like something has changed. It looks and tastes completely different from the one I had in 2020. The filling looks darker, and there's a strong taste of ginger. I won't be getting this again. Chicken and chive dumpling 3.5/5 - Both wrapper and filling are pretty basic. Not bad but not amazing. The wrapper doesn't have the QQ texture that makes a dumpling stand out. I prefer the ones from Seasons in MV. Green pepper and shredded pork 3/5 - This is one of my fav comfort foods, and I've been trying them at several bay area restaurants. Sadly, this one is not it. The sauce tastes decent but somehow, the pepper and pork don't seem to have absorbed the sauce and taste very bland. The pepper also seems slightly undercooked. Again, prefer the one at Seasons.

    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.

    Went to HL Peninsula, and it was aggressively packed! We came on a Sunday morning and waited over…read morean hour and a half for a party of five, so come prepared. In my opinion, their system for waiting for tables is a bit chaotic. They do not ask for your phone number; instead, they print out a receipt with a number and call it out when your table is ready. There is a monitor inside the restaurant that you can watch, but since it's so crowded and the way the system is displayed on the screen, it's kind of hard to tell what is going on or what your status is. Service-wise, it's exactly what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant serving dim sum, if you know what I mean. :) Inside, the restaurant is very spacious and large, and I am assuming the reason for the long wait is that it's one of only two places to get dim sum in Milpitas (the other being Mayflower in the other highly packed plaza nearby). They do not serve dim sum with the traditional cart system where dishes are rolled around the dining room. Instead, you order from a menu and mark down how many quantities you want of each item. My family got a variety of dishes, but I'll call out some notable ones: * Their shu mai was juicy and packed with meat, probably one of the best shu mai I've had in the South Bay. * Their har gow skin broke apart really easily, which bummed me out, but it was generously stuffed with shrimp. * My favorite dish was their purple rice rolls. It was basically a Chinese donut stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in a purple glutinous rice roll. * The chicken feet were very balanced and not too sweet. * The truffle scallop dumpling had a rich mushroom flavor, and the scallop added a nice flavor profile. * The BBQ pork was coated well with the char siu sauce. It was tender and bold in flavor. Overall, my experience here was great, but I do not think it warranted more than a 30-minute wait. The food also came out a bit slowly in my opinion, but that was probably due to the high volume of people.
