Bafang Dumpling — Restaurant in San Diego

Total value for money here.

Can't on a spontaneous anniversary dinner date because we had a last-minute change of plans. On a Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m. and the place was still full!

We've seen a line at this place ever since it opened and I can totally see why!

Got the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - REALLY DELICIOUS. It was hot and steamy but not piping hot where you can't drink it at all. The perfect hot temperature where you can slurp it down and actually enjoy the soup. Good amount of beef in there as well and the beef was very soft and flavorful on its own too. Appreciate that there was bok choy and definitely appreciate the volume! This was a really big bowl and a good one to split between two as well and try some other options on the menu.

Bafang Special Dumplings (pork and cabbage) had quite a nice flavor. I was A little confused and thought it might be the kimchi and pork dumplings but these were different. It didn't have that kimchi tanginess. Also went really well with the garlic sauce.

Veggie Potstickers - They had a nice flavor but I would have prefer the dumplings because these were a little too oily. Like I could see the amount of oil in the container and on the potstickers as well. And gave me a little bit of an...

Great place to get some great dumplings, soup, noodles, or a pork chop even. For the price point, it's really a great value for the amount of food you receive. Families bigger than 4 people may have a hard time finding a place to sit due to demand of seating; if you come later in the evening, the seating opens up with some tables coming available.

In the pictures posted, I had the number 8 meal which is old fashioned noodles, a pork chop, and some black lemon tea. While my wife had the number 6 meal which was, 4 dumplings of each type, along with some corn chowder. Everything was great flavor, and very filling.

Due to this storefront opening not long ago, there was a wait of 15 - 20 mins but it was due to the dinner time rush. Anytime after 8:30 and there was no rush, or line, and plenty of seating.

There are vegetarian options which are the veggie dumplings and pot stickers.

I do see us coming back in the near future to try out the rest of the items...

Waited 1.5 hours from 10:20am, but it's worth it! We ordered potstickers, dry mixed noodles and hot and sour soup. Food quality and the service is good. Price is affordable. Potstickers are cabbage and pork filling, it's crispy outside and juicy inside. Dry mixed noodles taste like tan tan mian without soup, if you like Sichuan peppercorn and spicy food, u would love this! Hot and sour soup is nice too, it contains tofu, mushrooms, pork etc. Total 18usd, they don't charge for tips. We arrived there at 10, lined was terrifically long. We grabbed some pastries from Sunmerry and started lining up at 1020am (Saturday). But when we finished at around 11:45am, the line was so much shorter. I guess it takes less than 40 mins for the wait. Most amazing thing is that, the lady who cleaned the tables shouted 'a table for 2 people!', which helped us to get a seat so much easier. Definitely want to...
