I've had Bafang up near LA, but this is my first time at this location. I did try a lot of new items here though. We ordered the Mala Beef Noodle Soup ($16.75), Bafang Pork Chop ($8), #2 Combo ($14) which includes 12 Signature Potstickers and Wonton Soup, and the Bafang Signature Dumplings ($5.75 for 6). They also have a self-serve sauce bar towards the front of the shop where you can get soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce, and garlic sauce. My preferred combo for dumplings are soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili sauce. I've had their regular beef noodle soup before, and I actually prefer that over the mala beef noodle soup. I feel like I get more of the beef flavor when it doesn't also have the mala in it. The dumplings and potstickers have the same filling, so it just depends on whether you prefer the steamed or pan fried way. I personally like the potstickers because you get that crispy crust on the bottom. The pork chop was juicy and tender but I don't think it had much flavor to it. You order at the counter first and then they hand you a buzzer to let you know that your order is ready. Then you grab a table and everything is pretty much self serve. The water and sauces are at the front, and if you need take out boxes they just laid them out at the counter for you to grab yourself as well. I arrived at around 11:00am on a Saturday and there was no line. By the time we sat down at a table though there was already a line forming for the lunch rush. Solid place for dumplings, and it's nice that they also have beef noodle soup here. The prices here are decent, and I like that there's a good amount of sauces that you can choose from. Definitely get here early to beat the rush though.

Been here a few times. Service is fast, food is hot and fresh. You order and pay at the counter then go find a seat. Sometimes you have to clean a table yourself. I rarely see workers going around to clean during peak lunch time and some other customers leave messes. Potstickers are crispy while dumplings are more juicy which is why we always get both. Recommend the signature flavor and kimchi & pork has a little spice. Corn & chicken is just okay would not get again. Chili wontons are okay. Bafang signature noodles are okay. Tea drinks are okay. Definitely skip the boba--it's flavorless. Better yet, pick up a drink from Sunmerry bakery next door and you'll probably be happier. Parking is plentiful in parking lot but you may have to park farther and walk.

New to mira mesa, this spot serves up potstickers and dumplings, soups and boba drinks. I got the combo 1 which comes with 12 pork pot stickers and a soup of your choice (hot and sour soup or corn chowder) i opted for hot and sour soup. The pot stickers were soft and crunchy, soup was piping hot. Everything was delicious theres a condiment section where you can grab soy sauce, garlic sauce, chili sauce, black vinegar and chili oil. This combo was $13-14. The dining area is large and service was basic. Only critique is that they should add low sodium soy sauce as an option for those trying to watch their sodium intake or just prefer less sodium. Also a sweet chili or sauce of some sort would be a good idea.

Paid by card. Bafang Dumpling is in the same plaza as Sunmerry and offers a lot of plaza parking. I've been here several times, weekdays and weekends, and it's usually busy but the line goes quickly and there are always places to sit. The staff is nice as well. I've tried the wonton soup, signature noodles, mala noodles, potstickers, pork chop, and old fashioned noodles. I like the wonton soup, mala noodles, and potstickers the best. They provide a good portion of noodles so they are very filling. Overall I would recommend this place and would go back.

Around lunch time (late afternoon) the place was nearly empty, with a few exceptions. The ordering process was really easy. We got three orders of Number 6 and instead of the drink we ordered the hot sour soup side with it. By the entrance doors they have the sauce station which is for the most part-- clean. They have the option of a garlic sauce, soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and a chili sauce. We had the og dumpling which I think is meat and cabbage. The yellowish dumpling has corn in it. And the other one is filled with kimchi. My fav was the corn one. The kimchi one was NOT for me. But if you like kimchi (as is and a bit sour/fermented strongly) ...you'll like it. Overall, yummy and fulfilling. Will come back to try the veggie one. The prices were decent!
