    Bafang signature potstickers
    jeannette h.

    We decided to come here since my daughter does gymnastics across the way and my son needed a little snack. Service was quick as there was hardly anyone in here and it wasn't busy at all. It's clean and modern interior with lots of seating. We just decided to order the 6 piece Bafang signature potstickers. It was nicely crispy on the bottom and soft and juicy inside. It had a nice flavor and pairs well with the garlic sauce. My kids ate all and we ordered another 6 pieces.

    Spacious and bright dining area. Plenty of parking available outside. Minimum services, it's not the fancy sit down with someone waiting you kind of restaurant. It serves the Taiwanese potstickers just like how they are made in Taiwan. I've also tried their noodles and the new dish, Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice. It's currently offering free soda with the Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice. Super convenient to order online in advance for pickup orders.

    Bafang Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup

    Bafang Dumplings was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There are some strong items here, but also a few areas that could use improvement. The Beef Noodle Soup - 2/5. This dish was the biggest disappointment - the beef felt like the wrong cut, coming out too tough and under-seasoned. That said, the soup itself was actually decent and had a nice base, so it wasn't a total miss. It's also the most expensive item on the menu. Signature Noodles - 4/5. On the brighter side, this signature dry noodles dish is good. The dish had a rich, nutty flavor sauce that I really enjoyed, though there was a noticeable aftertaste that didn't quite work for me. That part feels subjective, and overall the dish is still solid. Signature Potstickers 4/5 - I had many potstickers in the Greater LA area, including some of the Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley area. I find some potstickers with thick and doughy wrappers. So I am pleasantly surprised to find that Bafang's pan-fried dumplings have a silky, thin yet firm wrapper. The filling is okay, wish has more filling and juicer. I just wish the bottoms were crispier to really elevate them. I wish that their dipping sauces are better. I am nitpicking here. Overall, I enjoy their potstickers.

    Too oily! I have heard great things about bafang dumpling, but maybe not this location? We ordered the wonton soup which makes my lips shiny every sip I take. There were also wilted cilantro in the soup :(. The flavor of the wontons and soup were not bad. The pot stickers were again very very oily. The dumplings has really thick skin, but tasted ok! Lastly, the vinegar had a weird taste to it. I wished they had better dipping sauces given this is a dumpling place...

    Taiwanese casual fast foods. If you're a regular dumpling & noodles person in the U.S., you may appreciate all convenient Bafang Dumpling locations popping up in recent years. Modern and clean inside. You can list pick your order or go with their combination sets on the menu. This location's public restrooms were in very good to excellent condition. Spacious too. Cashier is helpful. Lighting in this building is bright. Feels airy and comfortable inside. Grab your own order and condiments. Self service. Tipping optional. We tried the regular steamed dumplings and hot & sour soup. Good ingredients. Tasted delicious. Taiwanese beef noodle soup was good too. Generous veggies. We enjoy dipping dumplings into anything with vinegar, so it worked out great. Plenty of sauces. Bafang Dumpling in the U.S. isn't a Din Tai Fung or other authentic premium dumpling houses. Bafang is catered to the American fast foods market. Convenient and satisfying. This Torrance location was very quiet during lunchtime on weekdays. They no longer sell boba milk tea beverages here. Food prices have gone up with inflation. Overall, decent fast foods here.

    Torrance Food Crawl #438 Bafang Dumpling is a giant in Taiwan, with almost 1300 locations there, and gradually expanding to the U.S. market, with 13 locations at the time that I write this. I've been to three BD locations, and all of them are very similar in general atmosphere and operations. Dumplings are their claim to fame. They're available in four flavors: their Signature Dumpling, Kimchi & Pork, Corn & Chicken, and Veggie. I've had their Signature Dumplings and the Corn & Chicken Dumplings, and both were very good. Dumplings are not one of my 'go-to' items, but these were fine. They also offer bags of frozen dumplings that you can take home and warm up. One food item that you might not expect, based on the name of this place, is the soups. I've tried two of them, Mala Beef Noodle soup and Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup. Both were served hot, with lots of beef, and a good-tasting broth and noodles. On a cold day these are well worth considering. The potstickers were fine, nothing noteworthy. The Corn Chowder soup was typical of Asian takes on this item, however, I have to say I prefer the Southwestern US versions of Corn Chowder which seem more hearty and have more flavor. The Bafang Signature Noodles were a disappointment, with a sauce that I couldn't identify but one that I would definitely skip next time. There are also a variety of pre-made side dishes at the counter, and be sure to look at them as many seem quite appealing. The interior was clean, bright, with lots of tables available for seating. The tables and chairs are wooden and not only look nice but are also comfortable. The service at the counter was about what you would expect, polite and without any controversy.

    Feedback: Great Dumplings, "Sauna" Dining Experience I'm writing this because I genuinely love the food at Bafang Dumpling, but the current dining environment is making it hard to come back. It's clear that the AC is being kept off to save on costs, and it's creating a really uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone involved. Here are a few points regarding the current situation: * Poor Air Circulation: Customers are having to request that the front door stay open just to get a breeze. Eating hot soup and dumplings in a stuffy room isn't exactly the "premium" experience the food deserves. * Employee Welfare: While it's uncomfortable for me for thirty minutes, I can't imagine how difficult it is for the staff working long shifts next to a hot kitchen with no climate control. * The Vibe: Penny-pinching on the electricity bill is costing you the "dine-in" appeal. I'd love to enjoy my meal without feeling like I'm in a greenhouse. I had to ask the employee to keep the doors open to keep the air circulation. Bottom Line: The food is 10/10, but the temperature is a dealbreaker. Please turn the AC back on so your customers--and your hard-working team--can breathe!

    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice - YUM
    Lucy Y.

    We've passed by another location of this chain & have been curious about it. So when I needed to go to Penzey's next door, this was an easy choice for a late lunch. Their fast casual setup made ordering fast & easy. I was impressed that their credit card processing terminal didn't ask for a tip or even give a choice for one to be added manually. Maybe because they also had a tray return area with trash cans that customers could use. Service was very efficient & friendly. There were plenty of seats open, so we placed our order & sat waiting for our buzzer to go off. Everything came out fast, fresh & very hot, yet not suspiciously fast like any of it was sitting around waiting for us. It was all so yummy, we would never have thought such quality came from this casual of a chain. Pork Chop w/braised pork belly - the pork chop was very tender, the pork belly pieces were small & a really small amount. The sauce on the rice mixed with the pickled veg & cucumber was good w/the meats. Combo #1 - original pork dumplings w/either a soup or soda. These dumplings had super thin skins & a tender meaty filling. We were trying to figure out whether they're made in house bc as thin as the skins are, no way could these be intact if they were frozen & tossed in a bag. The sauce station has dispensers of sesame oil, black vinegar, garlic, soy sauce & hot sauce for you to mix to your personal preference. They do offer bags of frozen dumplings to take home; we saw the corn & chicken and the vegetarian varieties. The pics on the bags looked like rounded, sturdier shaped dumplings vs the rectangular, more delicate skinned versions made for eating there or taking out. This is a legit, reasonably priced ($26.19 for these 2 dishes) dumpling & noodle place. Chain or not, it deserves repeat visits & my high recommendations!

    Taiwanese beef noodle soup was very good. Beef cooked to be very tender in the soup, ample amount of pickled vegetables, noodles, and a couple of large pieces of daikon radish. Signature potstickers were a little small, but had a clean flavor. Counter service. Didn't ask for tips so that's a nice change of pace

    Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice
    Regina L.

    I enjoyed the fast service and quality of food at Bafang. The prices are pretty reasonable too, the most expensive dish was the beef noodle soup at ~$17 but it was huge. My favorite was the beef noodle soup and the pork chop with braised pork rice, it was hearty and filling. There was plenty of seating when I went, mostly tables for 2 or 4 people and one larger table. Highly recommend!

    Just an update to my previous review. I still love this place. Dumplings and noodles are good as usual. 5 stars for being a casual, low-key, relaxed dining spot. No issues with service other than the occasional missed order when I doordash it, but it is always met with an immediate comp or replacement and apology -- they're busy, I get it. One time we had our milk tea burst in the bag (door dashers amirite?) and they refunded us without asking for proof. I already took the pictures in preparation of that phone call, but I'll still show it here. So 5 stars for great customer service! We...... still drank the milk tea in that grocery bag LOL . You're allowed to judge me :) go ahead.

    Dumplings came out hot, but I waited over 40 minutes for one order at lunch time. No wait to order so I don't understand what took so long.

    Business hrs? I can't find on the page when do they open and close each day. Thanks.

    For their grand opening, they are open from 10a- 10p. Not sure if that's their permanent hours

The doors were still open and we were able to order on their self checkout pad. It was easy and convenient and we were out the door in a few minutes. Love that they had a Goodbye song when it was time to close that's was so smart and a fun touch. We had their cookies and crème one with boba and it was so good! Also had their mango tea and was refreshing and so good. Probably the best boba I've had. Can't wait to try their food next time some of the stuff they had looked good. The inside is a cool hangout spot and cool vibes there and big parking spot as well. The place was clean and the staff were nice and easy going even though we showed up 3 minutes before they closed. Appreciate that.

    La Cha x The Bowl is a Korean tea shop in the South Bay that also serves lunch and dinner rice…read morebowls. La Cha x The Bowl currently has a second location in Hawthorne in addition to this flagship location in Torrance. The shop is known for its viral cracking chocolate shell boba cup. [Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).
