Saw this place while driving by and there was a long line. Went around 11:30am and the line was about 50 people. Ordered to-go so there was a shorter line for that Got the fried chicken plate. They give generous portions and the food is tasty overall. The potstickers are what they are known for, but honestly these did not taste anything too special. I feel like there are many other potsticker places out here which taste similar read more

3.5 stars For dumplings , I had higher expectations. I got all the flavors and the only flavor that was decent was the signature. The rest were mediocre. I had ordered items for to go and to eat at the restaurant and they did not seperate those. Also, they did not provide the full order and had to repeatedly follow up to get the potstickers which was rather annoying. The potstickers took a while to make and weren't mind blowing or anything like that The best items we got were the mini dumpling soup and the beef dry noodles. Those were 4 star worthy food. However since this place is known for dumplings and the dumplings weren't that great and they messed up on my order, I knocked it down to 3.5 stars The facility is new and clean. High chairs are available. 10am on a Monday was also nice and quiet. read more

Has kind of an upscale cafeteria vibe. You walk in and it's packed. Line out the door and many people standing around either waiting in line, waiting for sauces, waiting for tables. It took about 40mins for our food to be ready from time of order. It's ridiculous. Definitely not worth the wait. Price was on the lower end, but time is money and that was just a waste of time. Forget this place and just go to dough zone. Also, we ordered to dine in and everything came in take away boxes??? We had to ask for an actual bowl cause how else were we gonna eat the soup from the tupperware? We weren't even provided actual utensils and had to use those baby plastic ones. TRASH SERVICE. Foodwise? Everything was mid. read more

This place could just as easily be called Bafang Pork Chop because the Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice was soooo good. The pork chop was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Don't sleep on the braised pork belly rice either. The pork chop was the star of the dish, but the braised pork belly rice was also flavorful; it was perfectly sweet and savory. The cucumbers on the side were sweet and refreshing and added a nice touch to round out the dish. The restaurant had bright and spacious open seating. After ordering, you just help yourself to any open table. The food came out within minutes of ordering, so the wait was fairly short considering how busy it was when I went. read more

Bafang Dumpling - 6 Potstickers & 6 Dumplings Combo with Corn Chowder, Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I was so excited to relive my 20s (when I lived for several years in Taipei and would eat dozens of pot stickers (锅贴) each day for lunch). But the flavor was so bland, needing all types of sauce to make them anything other than incredibly boring. The signature pot stickers were boring, the kimchi-flavored ones weren't spicy but they also weren't as bland, and the chicken/corn ones were probably the best, but still not all that special. What's good about this place is the price; it's affordable and filling. Because of the large crowds, service can be a bit frantic, but there's never much of a wait (if you want to wait even less, order them online and pick them up; you can still eat on site). read more

Bafang Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

What a great first experience! Way back, we saw the signage that took over the former Specialties. The hub was super excited and anxious when they'll open. I recently saw a tiktok of their opening and the line was outrageous, that wrapped around the building! Luckily today, we were first at the door about 20 minutes before they opened at 10am. A woman came up and asked if the door was open as she walked up. She opened the door and invited us in to check it out and have a seat. Turns out as we walked in, she was more than staff. We had a great conversation with Stephanie about their upcoming restaurants in Cupertino and San Jose, etc. Awesome customer service all around and although we took big order to go, everything was delicious! Stephanie gave us some soups to go as we waited. Again, delicious! She did recommend to eat the beef noodle soup there. So we will definitely do that next time. read more

I'm hugely disappointed. I almost thought this could be one of the only two Taiwanese restaurants I would ever choose and recommend to others. But no, I won't come here again. I don't recommend it, and I'll just go back to Taiwan to eat the real Bafang Dumpling. 我非常失望。我原本以為這間店會是我在這裡唯二會選擇、也會推薦給其他人的台灣餐廳。但不會了，我不會再來，也不會推薦。我還是回台灣吃真正的八方雲集。 read more

Bafang's opening in the Bay was highly anticipated and I'm impressed! It's an affordable, simple Taiwanese joint. Initially I was thrown off at how... simple and bland the food was? But, I then realized it's likely intentional so that you can customize the taste to your liking with vinegar, garlic sauce, and more. Definitely don't skip out on the sauces. RECS: + Signature noodles/signature potstickers combo ($14.95, 4.25/5 stars) is so value! The potstickers were very crunchy and noodles had that nice chew. As for flavors, it could use more but that's where the sauce comes in read more

Bafang Dumpling - Signature Noodles and Signature Potstickers Combo ($14.95, 4.25/5 stars) - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I've had this chain in SoCal so it was cool to see it in the bay! The food is very affordable and tastes pretty fresh. We got the signature potstickers, kimchi dumplings, and signature noodles for $24. There's also a self serve sauce bar so you can make your own concoction. The service was quick and there was a lot of tables for seating. Parking was hard to find.

Bafang Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Bafang Dumpling - The closest you'll get to true Taiwanese flavor in the Bay Area I grew up with a very specific idea of what Taiwanese dumplings and beef noodle soup should taste like. The sealing technique, the cabbage ratio, the crispness of the pan-fried side, even how the dumpling cools and turns slightly chewy - these details matter. This newly opened Bafang in Silicon Valley surprised me for one reason: it replicates the flavor of Taiwan with remarkable precision. Not "inspired by," not "Americanized Taiwanese," but as close as you can reasonably get outside Taiwan. 【Dumplings - almost a perfect clone of the Taiwan original】 The dumplings here are shockingly accurate: * Clean, tight Taiwanese-style sealing * A generous amount of crisp, sweet cabbage - the true signature of Taiwan dumplings * Thin crispness right off the pan; soft-chewy texture when cooled (exactly like Taiwan) * Balanced seasoning, no American heavy-salt or heavy-oil drift Rare to see a chain execute QC this well overseas. 【Beef Noodle Soup - a true Taipei, military dependents' village-style profile】 My reference for this style comes from bowls my Taipei friends introduced me to years ago - those classic military dependents' village beef noodles sold near traditional markets: clean, honest, lightly sweet pickled greens, and a broth that doesn't rely on overpowering spices. This bowl captures that memory extremely well: * Clear Taipei-style red-braised broth * Lightly sweet, non-acidic house-made mustard greens * Large cuts of beef shank with rich collagen and flavor * Tender but still structured * A broth that tastes unmistakably Taiwanese and deeply nostalgic For a chain outside Taiwan, this level of fidelity is exceptional. 【Operations - crowded but fast, efficient, very "Taiwan style"】 Even with a full house: * Food arrives quickly * Tables turn fast * Finding a seat isn't difficult The entire flow mirrors Taiwan's efficiency-driven dining experience. 【Overall - the most faithful recreation of Bafang in the Bay Area】 This location does not serve a "version" of Taiwanese food. It serves Taiwanese food, period. From dumpling texture to cabbage moisture, from clean broth to correctly cut beef shank - the details are executed with respect for the original. Yes, prices (especially the beef noodle soup) are high by Taiwan standards. But for this level of authenticity in the Bay Area, the premium is justified. I'll be back. And it's a place worth returning to. - Dr. C Only writing for what truly earns the stars. read more

Came for the soft opening event and was impressed by the operational efficiency. The line went decently fast and food came out very fast as well, kudos! This is a classic Taiwanese fast food chain specialising in pot stickers and dumplings. My go to is the chicken 6 Corn & Chicken Potstickers with Corn Chowder! Pictured are the kimchi potstickers, which I also love. Pretty pricey for fast food and doesn't have soy milk items yet, but still glad to have a Ba Fang in the bay for a taste of Taiwanese comfort food! read more

Bafang Dumpling - 12 Kimchi & Pork Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We came here for their soft opening and the line was crazy! But I would say it was worth the wait. This restaurant is fast-casual style and serve various dumplings and noodles. I decided to get the crispy potstickers, which were so crispy and the vegetables had a great crunch. I also surprisingly really loved the wonton soup, with great broth flavor and perfect wontons, and would definitely be coming back for that. My friend got the classic taiwanese beef noodle soup and LOVED it. They have a lot of other great dry noodle options that I want to come back and try. Their combos are a great deal as it was around $18, but enough food for 2 meals. read more

Bafang Dumpling - 6 Signature Potstickers, Mini Wonton Soup - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Pretty new Taiwanese spot fresh from SoCal. We loved going here when in SoCal and glad it made it to the bay. Their potstickers are what they're known for and they don't disappoint. It is a bit pricey but quite good. I'm also mostly writing this review bc of the beef noodle soup. It's a bit pricey but a large bowl. And it also includes dikon! Which I haven't really seen other places include. Overall I would recommend the beef noodle soup! I tried the pork chop rice plate and it was too small and left a lot to be desired... better at chick n tea. Interior is spacious and clean but seating can be hard to snag at peak hours. read more

Final Thoughts: 2.50/5 Came here during their soft opening. Was kind of hoping I would like this place because dumplings are one of the simple comfort foods. A little underwhelming and disappointed with what we got today. Most of it came down to the flavor and temperature of the food. I will push this review to 3 stars since they a lot of this is personal preference in the taste of the food. Food: Signature Potstickers: 3.0/5 Mediocre, I feel. Anything fried has a higher chance of tasting better. The flavor is missing something for me. Very one-dimensional. Some umami flavor and very meat forward without that seasoning to back it up. The garlic sauce and soy sauce help add to the flavor. Texture wise, the bottom is not as crispy as I would like for it to be given that it looks pan-fried. Perhaps it's been sitting in a warmer and just placed in a box to order. Signature Dumplings: 1.5/5 One of my least favorite items here was the dumpling. Unfortunately, the flavor of this dumpling tastes of one that I really dislike. It's the seasoning and spices in this that break it for me. The flavor is quite subtle and also needs help from the dipping sauces. Ratio of wrapper to meat are optimal. Personally, I like the thick wrappers and this one really delivered on that end. There is enough meat to balance it out though. Corn Chowder: 2.8/5 This tastes like a variation of Vietnamese chicken and corn soup (súp bắp gà); a cross between that and a creamed corn soup. Soup flavor leans more on the sweeter side. There seems to be a lack of substance though. A lot of it is just the creamy soup. The consistency is fine, but does thin out the longer it sits. Signature Noodle: 2.9/5 Hmm...noodles were a good thickness. Sauce was alright. It could have used a protein component, but perhaps this is where the dumplings come into play. The texture is chewy with some bite; nice al dente. Sauce flavor leans on the lighter side for me and *also* needs the garlic and soy sauce. This item is noted to be spicy, but the spice was quite subtle for me. My tolerance really isn't that high either, but it was just a little kick for me. Wonton Soup: 1.5/5 The wontons used in this soup taste similar to the signature dumplings. Again, not a fan of the flavor of these dumplings, so this item also is not ranked high. The soup is just a simple broth. Subtle in flavor. Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice: 3.0/5 This was also an item that I did enjoy to some extent. The flavor was actually alright. The pork belly rice has a nice umami flavor to it. This is seasoned well. These flavors combined with the cucumbers and pickled mustard greens works well. The pickled mustard greens were a favorite for me. There's a nice sweetness and tartness to it that I really enjoyed. Cucumbers provided that additional texture and freshness. For the cons, I actually felt our piece of meat was somewhat dry. The piece itself is really flat. The outside was quite oily, but the inside leaned more on being dry for me. --------- Quality: Made in-house I do think their items are made fresh and in-house, but not made to each order. In the dumlpings and potstickers, you see that there are pieces of cabbage and meat. The pieces of cabbage look hand chopped versus being chopped with a food processor since some pieces were quite large. Given the items are what they are, they can easily be put in a food warmer and then just placed into the boxes to be served. Price: Affordable and no-tip policy The one thing that might be pushing that third star is the price. For the items that are provided, the price is quite affordable. Total came to be around $47. Price ranges for each item/combo will be around $12 to $17. Sides and smaller plates/dishes will be from $7 to $10. Something very interesting is their no-tip policy. There isn't even option to do it upon paying. It feels strange for us not to do it, but definitely the first place I've seen to do this. Service: Limited We only ordered at the front cashier and then we got our food from them once our buzzer went off. Very simple interactions; nothing noteworthy. Ambiance: Spacious and bright This place gives me In n Out vibes for some reason. Might just be the white and red color. My friend noted that it was giving him Panda Express vibes. Perhaps it's a cross between both places. The place is so spacious and has a lot of empty space around. Personally, I like having a nice spacious seating space, but perhaps they could fit more tables and seats around here if they so choose. Location/Parking: Appears cramped It's located near Sunnyvale and Santa Clara area on Augustine Drive and Coronado Place. Parking looks to be somewhat of a mess. The spots aren't bad, but something about it threw me off. Of note, their dumpster and trash area threatens for a tag. It was overflowing and just made the plaza seem unsanitary and unappealing. Perhaps this is a concern for the plaza itself, but building their own landfill there is not it. read more

Clean, open interior with many seats outside. Service is order, get a number, sit down, wait for the buzzer. Food was good. We really like the long type of dumplings, their signature is good as well. Their Taiwanese beef noodle soup is good, I wish there was more noodle. I like their quick deli section! read more

A Taiwanese chain in it's first foray into the Bay Area is this new and refreshing addition to Santa Clara Square Marketplace. It's also reason for limited parking, so be sure to prepare for a little delayed gratification. There is a larger parking garage diagonal to the restaurant as an option. The service is friendly and quick. I went to their grand opening a few weeks ago and they advised me there are two separate lines: 1) if you order a combo, get in front of the food case otherwise 2) get in line with the other registers to the side. I think this format may change according to the needs of the day. Their pricing for the area is quite good for value. Could be cheaper-but quite economical for the area. No tips policy so one would presume they pay their employees fairly. Menu items are quite simple and if you feel like making it at home-they have frozen dumplings for you. I enjoyed their Bafang signature potstickers, felt their Bafang signature noodles a tad spicy (its a combo of their sesame and spicy noodles), pork chop was great, fried rice was tasty, and fried chicken was yummy. I took my food to go. I wish I realized they had a sauce station so I could pack some sauces with me. There is a lot of ample seating inside. I think I'd visit here on my way home for a quick/ cheaper meal-if I can find parking! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Saw the news that Bafang Dumpling is coming to NorCal since a year ago and finally they are soft opening this week so we went for lunch to see if they are on par with their restaurants in SoCal and Taiwan. We arrived at the store 10:50 am on Friday and they are just opened, there were only 5 people in the line and we quickly ordered a Mala Beef noodle soup, pork chop fried rice and some kimchi potstickers. The beef noodle soup bowl is surprisingly big while other dishes are all in paper containers. Although we ordered Mala beef noodle soup, but it is not very spicy nor can we taste any Mala flavor, it's tastes just like typical beef noodle soup you can find in Taiwan. However their beef noodle soup is definitely better than Duan's Kitchen. I really like the fried rice in their pork chop fried rice, I can really taste the wok hei. Lastly the potstickers are typical Bafang style, the fillings are way too mushy, you can't pick the potstickers up using chopsticks without it broken in the middle. We still think the frozen potstickers from Ajinomoto is way better than this. read more

Food is amazing - tasted exactly like Taiwan. Service is questionable tho. Waited almost 40 min before our food came out. Waited 25 in a line to order. So basically 65 min wait before eating anything. Then they didn't give me one of my orders and argued with me about it and didn't apologize when proven wrong. Rude. Anyways I chalk this up to being newly open and being overwhelmed. Back to the food, we got the beef noodle in both mala and regular. Sooooo delicious, dare I say best in the Bay Area? If only they had thicker noodles... Potsticker and dumpling was amazing! The pork chop was exactly what we had in Taiwan. Same flavor! Also had hot and sour soup that was ok. Will be back again!! read more

Really authentic Taiwanese food! That said, it's not what I consider objectively the best food, but there is a really homey and authentic feel to it. Eating space is large, bright, and loud (not in a bad way!). Feels almost cafeteria style, but a little nicer. Great for families / casual eating. You order at the counter and pick up your food to bring to the table. We ordered: - Bafang signature potstickers & also kimchi & pork potstickers: both were only ok to me (particularly the meat filling) - Hot and sour soup leans a little more hot, but that's probably because they provide vinegar as part of their condiments so it's easier to make it more sour if you'd like - Corn soup was very sweet, not my favorite - Beef noodle soup was okay, broth felt a little light (not too much depth). Beef pieces were very good, tender, and a lot of it! - Pork chop over rice felt the most authentic - it's the braised sort of Taiwanese pork chop - Fried chicken appetizer was good! Similar to a boba shop fried chicken Overall, I'd definitely come back for a good casual meal with my family if convenient, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way to come back to. read more

I was super excited to see Bafang Dumpling open their first Bay Area location in Santa Clara! It's all over social media and it worked out that I was in the area to grab a quick lunch today. They are currently on day 3 of their soft opening phase, with the official opening date on Nov. 14th. Online ordering was available, so I took advantage of that knowing that they'd be pretty busy even past the lunch hour on a weekday. I ordered combo 8 (your choice of pork chop of fried chicken, noodles, and soup/drink) and combo 4 (6 potstickers or dumplings and noodles), which came out to be a little bit under $35. I was able to place my order, run into Whole Foods next door and grab my order all within 15 minutes. The portions were smaller than I expected, but everything was freshly made and the perfect temperature to eat. I really enjoyed the pork chop and potstickers, but the old fashioned noodles and sesame noodles were on the bland side. There wasn't enough sauce and barely enough vegetables to pair with it. You have to eat the pork chop to get some flavor with the noodles or else it's just pretty unimpressive. I also immediately realized when I opened the old fashion noodle container that a piece of white and blue plastic was stuck between some noodles. I was able to go back and let one of the staff members behind the counter know while showing them the picture I took. She was immediately apologetic and offered me a full refund for my entire meal which was very generous. She also mentioned the plastic looked like it was a small piece of the bag the bean sprouts come in. I was not upset at all when this entire situation happened and was happy with the resolution. I think I'll be back whenever I need a quick potstickers and dumpling fix! read more

I love the concept here. It's basically fast food for dumplings/noodles, which feels like something the world needed. Sadly, the food itself was just...okay. A lot of what we ordered lacked flavor, and while the signature potstickers looked crispy, they didn't quite deliver. That said, the prices are great, and I'm willing to give it another shot to try other items. The idea has potential. I'm rooting for it. read more

So excited for the first NorCal location! I came on Tuesday around 4:30 pm during their soft opening and was surprised to see there was no line. I got everything to go. Things were packed well (no spills) and it took about 10 minutes for everything to come out. Inside is spacious and there's some outdoor seating as well. * Beef noodle soup (5/5): Loved this! My only complaint is that the meat could've been more tender. Soup was sweet, noodles chewy, and it actually came with suan cai, which a lot of places skip. I didn't need the daikon but they were fine. * Pork chop with braised pork belly rice (4/5): Pork chops had a herbal funk to them, but I didn't mind it. There's not a lot of minced pork belly, mostly just the sauce. * Bafang pork dumplings (3/5): Fine but expensive at over $1 each. read more

Not what I was expecting. The videos on Tik Tok made it seem like it was some high end place like Din Tai Fung. No where close. It's not bad, just my fault for having high expectations I guess. It is a very spacious place. Lots of seating. You order at the counter and a buzzer will go off and you will pick up your food at the counter. They have a soda fountain, and a area on the side that's giving Panda Express type stuff. My favorite part from what I got is the noodles, packed with much flavor, reminds me of Dan Dan noodles. The soup was hot and comforting, and the dumplings and wontons were like something you could buy at Costco and heat up in the microwave. I drenched it in sauce which they have for some flavor. If you are looking for something cheap, and quick I would come here for that. If you are looking for authentic dumplings and pot stickers and stuff of that nature go to an actual place that sells that. I think I would come back just for the noodles. read more

Great spot for a casual lunch for big groups! I ordered online and decided to opt for the soup + 12 potstickers combo. The online process was very seamless. The price for that specific combo was good as my total ended up being ~$16 and I was very full! I tried the corn soup and signature flavor potstickers. The corn soup was bland but not in a way where it was lacking flavor? That sounds contradicting LOL but the natural flavors of corn and pork were present, there was no added salt flavor if that made sense haha it tasted very healthy! Definitely will try their hot and sour soup next. The signature flavor (pork + cabbage) was so yummy! Nothing special but very good; it didn't taste unhealthy or heavy at all. I wished I tried my potstickers fresh but I arrived 20 mins past my order arrival time which was my fault; either way still very good! Parking is hectic around 12 PM in that plaza so plan accordingly! I came around 1:00 PM and was able to find parking immediately. I would definitely go back again next time to try more of their dishes. read more

Tried Bafang again and enjoyed my experience more this time! This time around, we got the bafang signature noodles, sesame noodles, chicken and corn potstickers, kimchi and pork dumplings, and spicy wontons. My favorites were both of the noodles and the spicy wontons! I would definitely get the sesame noodles and spicy wontons again. Noodles had great consistency and texture, and spicy wontons packed a punch of flavor (and had a kick of spice). Though their dumplings and potstickers are fresh with good quality skin, I feel like they still don't stand out to me flavor-wise and are on the bland side. I think that the prices here are very reasonable and you can get a whole feast for a good price. Love that they have options for 6 pc/12 pc potstickers and dumplings! read more

This place popped up on the radar as a Taiwanese dumpling kind of place, and it was quite good. There is a ton of space and seating here even at peak times in the evening. It's not a full sit-down place as you go up to the counter to order then bring back to your table. I also appreciate the mini sauce bar they had, really liked the garlic sauce! This place price wise was on the cheaper side which I was surprised because of the kind of food that was available here. This is a great place to satisfy that Taiwanese food craving for not too expensive and quick easy convenience. Would come again! read more

Bafang Dumpling - Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice & Bafang 6 Signature Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Was recommended this spot by a friend and was not disappointed! Great prices and portion sizes and excellent flavor! Really enjoyed the spicy beef noodles and the signature pot stickers. The pot stickers had the perfect crispiness to it. Got their signature noodle to-go for a friend who also really enjoyed it. Easy system of ordering at the counter with self-seating; pick up food at the counter once your buzzer goes off. Plenty of indoor seating but I did notice it really start to get busy around 6pm on a weekday. Highly recommend if you are looking for some authentic Taiwanese flavors (per my friend who stated this reminded her of home in Taiwan). read more

Very good dumplings. Line can be long but worth the wait. I LOVE the mini wonton soup and the signature dumplings. It has the mochi texture for the dumpling skin and juicy inside. The wonton soup came out almost in boiling temperature which I think it's absolutely essential for Chinese soup. The noodle and the pot stickers are ok but definitely not as stand out as the wonton soup and dumplings. Good price. Big parking lot. Lots of sitting. read more

Bafang Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Clara, California

4.5 stars. Another Taiwanese place in the bay! Bafang dumpling has a good selection of items that all seem very tasty, but my favorite is the mala spicy noodle. The texture of the noodle is perfect and the mala sauce is flavorful and has a nice heat to it. Pairing it with their signature potsticker is very satisfying, though the portion size isn't that big. Their pork chop rice dish is also really tasty and can serve as a quick light lunch. This place gets really crowded around lunch time since there are a few offices nearby. Overall, as a Taiwanese American, I'm really happy they opened this place up, serving up some very tasty noodles and dumplings read more

Delicious potstickers and beef noodle soup. The line was long on a weekday afternoon but the line did move fairly fast. I ordered two combinations and a beef noodle soup. One order was take away and the other two for dine in. Only after I paid and waited for my order to be ready did I notice that one order wasn't placed so when I went up to gather my order I mentioned that one order wasn't placed by the employee while ordering and the person who was putting orders together was nice enough to say that she could help me with the missing order. I thought that was such great customer service. Over all I really enjoyed the potstickers and the beef noodle soup. The wonton soup though the soup was good the wontons were just ok. Good choice if you maybe want something light and soothing. The hot and sour soup was ok it was decent but nothing to write home about. Good if you're craving it in a pinch. The beef noodle soup was really good, probably my favorite with the chunks of meat and daikon and tasty broth. The noodles were a great consistency too. The potstickers could have been crisper but maybe we came during the lunch rush and so it could have maybe been that they were rushing it. The seating was ok we were able to grab a table but it does get rather crowded at lunch and parking can be challenging too at lunch time. It's a wait in line, order at the register, get a buzzer and pick up your order tray to your table kind of place. Overall I really liked it and I'll be back! read more

Quick, cheap, and pretty damn good. The potstickers have good flavor and had a nice crispy bottom 7.5/10. Noodles had a good texture, but not my favorite flavor 6.5/10. Fried pork chop is the standard Taiwanese flavor and fried excellently 7.5/10. Total for all 3 was about $25. read more

Been so excited to try bafang. A little sad that they don't have the curry potstickers that I usually get in Taiwan but the signature potstickers are still good. It was pretty busy on a weekday when I went but I was able to find a seat by the time I was done ordering. The noodles were chewy and delicious but after awhile I kind of got sick of the taste since it has a slight numbing taste. read more

We wanted to taste a variety of the menu so we ordered some options. Our favorite were the Spicy Mala Noodle and the kimchi potstickers. The food was overall tasteful and the sauce options were good too! read more

See all

I heard about this place from a friend and decided to check it out for an early dinner one weekend. Luckily, the place was still fairly empty when I arrived, but it quickly filled up. The restaurant was spacious and clean (Specialty Cafe used to be the tenant here), and the staff were friendly. The dumplings were good, though I found the noodles a bit too oily for my liking. My kid, who loves dumplings, definitely approved! Overall, everything on the menu was reasonably priced in my opinion. I will definitely be coming back and try other items on the menu. read more
