BaFang Dumpling - Chino Hills, California

Great Fast-Food Style Taiwanese Cuisine.

I was brought to try BaFang Dumpling, a Taiwanese-style place with long dumplings seared on one side until golden brown.

Everything here was very good – budget-friendly and with an easy dine-in atmosphere, resembling a fast-food pace.

We ordered side dishes: Tofu skin and Cold Beef Muscle and Nuts. They were excellent and suited the moment, keeping our appetites satisfied while waiting for our main order.

We had Taiwanese dumplings, mixed steamed dumplings, corn soup, spicy and sour soup – OMG!! They were all so delicious. However, the highlight of this meal was the plain appearance of the spicy peanut noodles!

I couldn't stop having them, even though they were a bit too spicy for me, and I was already full.

BaFang is now on my bookmark list, and I'll definitely come back again. Thank you for a good meal.

I know other place that has better dumpling and soup but This is good for a quick fix meal. The service is quick. The place is clean. I like the pork dumplings better than the vegetable dumplings. The beef noodle soup is pretty good.

From my experience in these type of businesses brought over from Taiwan, there always seems to be something a bit off, and not like the original. I am happy to report that this taste exactly like how it did in Taiwan. So happy to see this, and hope there will be more restaurants that will be similar in bringing the same experience. They have a self ordering machine, which is quite convenient, but you can also choose to order with one of the workers. This is the same plaza as 99 ranch, and this areas parking seems to get pretty packed, so keep that in mind.

Food
Like I mentioned, the food is pretty much the same as Taiwan, at least in my opinion. The potstickers are light and crisp, the hot and sour soup is just the right amount of spicy and sour, and even their pork chop was good! I do think it is more expensive them Taiwan, but it is worth it! Just wished they had more variety of chili. The noodle they have is super tasty as well!

The place isn’t the biggest place, so if you have a big party I would suggest that you take it togo. The only thing I would ask from this place is to have more trash cans, and to have a cleaner sauce station. I had to walk all the way across to the other side of the place to find the tray return station, and that is the only place they have a trash can. Imagine someone that has all this trash and needs to carry it over, I believe there is a lot more chances for something to drop of the floor causing more cleaning. Anyways, love the food, and will be back for sure. Until next time!

Authentic Taiwanese potstickers and beef noodle soup. Must try it! Highly recommended

The potstickers were okay, had better and as well worse than Bafang’s. The wonton soup’s flavor was fine and close to those in Taiwan, but the wontons could be better. I think they were slightly over cooked. The signature noodle was pretty good and probably the best dish at this Taiwanese fast food restaurant. All in all, it has okay food, but there are better choicest. By the way, the cashier refused to accept my cash and insisted that I paid with my credit card, which I did. Later, the cashier took cash from another customer, so I’m not sure what was going on. Perhaps I have the look of a counterfeiter or my $20 bill looked funny to her.

Taiwanese fast food self serve restaurant. Lunchtime (Sunday) is very hard to get a seat before 2 pm so take out maybe a better opinion. Noodles are very delicious and al dente. Soy Wild Mango is very good, and not too sweet. Pork Chop and Porksticks can be slightly salty but overall is good. Probably the cheap eats here because no tips included, and come back to try more next time.

Our first time! The chili pepper fried chicken was the star! SO GOOD! I liked the potstickers better than the dumplings but everything was good! The bafang noodles had a good sauce and I enjoyed the chew on the noodles. We can’t wait to go again! Don’t forget to get some sauce over by the table by the door!

I use to eat here once a week when they first opened. Now I don't know if it's a completely different staff or management but I return once a month. Yesterday I came in, it wasn't busy but the 2 tables near the wall wasn't clean AT ALL. You can see yellow stains of leftover food. My son had to wipe it down twice with wet naps. I then tried moving the table closer to me to find out there's leftover chili underneath the table that got all over my hands!!! It was soooo gross. The food was ready in 25 minutes when it wasn't even busy! All I ordered was the wonton soup & noodle. The noodles arrived hard and not fully cooked. I HOPE the owner reads this as it's a cry for help because I used to love this place. Customer service, food & cleanliness are no longer important at this location. Sad to say I will not even come here once a month anymore.
