Food was decent here. I got the Dumpling combo which let me have 4 of each of their Dumpling flavors. I was hoping for more flavor. Nothing spectacular here, but still an okay meal if you like light flavor. They had multiple sauces that were also light on the flavor. I may need to try their Potstickers to see if having it fried makes a flavor difference. The Hot and Sour Soup had lots of ingredients and they didn't skimp on them. Like the dumplings, there wasn't as much flavor here as I'd expect. Both items had a good amount of food for the serving. Parking is easy as it is located on the non-busy side of a shopping complex. Service was mediocre. When I was asking about their options, the servers weren't really making it seem like they believed in their own product. There was a subtle indifference in my interaction. The restaurant was clean with lots of seating. Not sure if I would go back for what I ordered, but I may still give those Potstickers a try.

Food is fresh made and delicious. Variety is limited but it is not necessary! What they have hits home! Definitely would recommend the potstickers.

Just Don't. It's a nice looking place, it's clean but the food is not good and the service is terrible. Everything is so overpriced and small portions, it just isn't worth it. There are so many better options in the area for good Chinese food. I won't be back.

Potstickers and dumplings from Taiwan?! Yes please! Bafang Dumpling is such a great addition to Gardena! There's really not other place that sells potstickers and dumplings like this in the area (you'd probably have to go all the way to the 626 area to get anything like this), so it definitely creates some diversity in the South Bay's food scene! They are most known for their potstickers and dumplings. You can order in 6 or 12 pieces. Both potstickers and dumplings come in three different types: Signature, Kimchi and Pork, and Corn and Chicken. The potstickers have that nice crispy side, while their dumplings are steamed. They also have some dry noodle dishes and beef noodle soup. I really like their Signature Noodles! Good flavor and better than their Old Fashioned Noodles (a bit bland), in my opinion. They also have fried pork chop and chili pepper fried chicken. I really like that they have a variety of combos, so you can get two different food items for your meal. It makes ordering easier too! They have lots of seating, but it can get pretty crowded during peak meal times. You order at the counter, and you can grab some of their cold appetizers from the open refrigerator to add onto your meal. They will give you a pager, and when it goes off, you pick up your food at the counter. If you're curious how the potstickers and dumplings are made, they have a window area that you can peek inside and check it out! Bafang Dumpling is located in Gardena Marketplace. The side Bafang is on has a smaller parking lot, but there is ample parking in the larger shopping plaza parking lot if the small one fills up.

Amazing dumplings, esp the kimchi ones. our family was fighting over these delicious dumplings!!

The atmosphere was too "self serve" for my liking. The sauce station was messy. Dumplings were ok. Nothing exciting.

Still amazing. Corn chowder soup is my absolute favorite!! Staff is always nice and attentive. Water is complimentary and always freezing cold! The inside is nice and has great natural lighting. Must visit!

A fun new Taiwanese dumpling place in the South Bay with cute to-go looking containers but plenty of space to eat in as well. The potstickers were very light and perfect light fried crunch! The dumplings are a cool "gold-shape" and come in 4 varieties- we enjoyed their signature type. They have several combos to mix and match things as you like! The spicy Ma-La noodles were also a nice zingy addition opposite the hearty yet light corn chowder. You can also choose from several dipping sauce options after you order, and get a boba tea if you are in the mood. Be sure to bus your table after and service your tray over to the cleanup area at the end. All in all it was very flavorful and unique! Looking forward to new one they say will open in Torrance soon!

For a Saturday rainy dinner, it was busy! Not too busy as there was still available seating. It's definitely a fast casual spot with lots of clean seating. The parking lot gets crowded because of the Panda Express and Shin-Sen-Gumi but we've always been able to park close by. I gave this place 4 stars because of the AFFORDABLE PRICE! I got the #6 to try all three different steamed dumplings (4 of each) and it came with either hot and sour soup, clam chowder, or black tea. That's 12 dumplings and a large soup for $13.50! The FOOD itself was closer to 3 STARS. I liked the kimchi dumplings the most, it was like medium spicy level. The signature dumplings were my second favorite, they were good but I've definitely had better. My least favorite were the dumplings with corn/cabbage/pork. For the price, I'll come back to try the rest of the menu.
First time coming here, but definitely not the last. It was DELICIOUS! I was worried the spicy dumplings would be too hot (I'm not a huge fan of super spicy), but they were just the right mix, spicy but bearable without taking away the flavor of the meat. Their boba and teas were great as well.

I ordered with a small group and my dumplings never came while everyone else got their food. I had to ask about it and they fixed it. No biggie. Friendly staff, food is decent for the price.

Everything is delicious. However sometimes it takes too long and noodles is overcooked. Overall it's good. I come here regularly.

We tried all of their signature dishes - signature potstickers, dumplings, noodles, kimchi potstickers, chili garlic wontons and braided beef noodle soup. I think in terms of food, my opinion might be based on the fact that i don't know Taiwanese food very well. We liked the signature potstickers the most and didn't love the others.. signature noodles tasted sesame based, thick and bit spicy. Braised beef noodle soup broth was nice but the meat could have been softer. Service was very good. They gave us wrong potstickers so they let us eat what we had and immediately made us the right potstickers. Place is clean with lots of seating. I like that everything comes out in to-go containers so it's easy to take leftovers home. Parking was bit tough on a Sunday evening probably because of Shin sen gumi next door.. Not sure if we'll try again but glad that we tried this time!!!

This place is a really good bang for your buck. I basically got a whole meal. I couldn't even finish all of it. I got there combo 2 with hot and sour soup. Their menu is very simple my only complaint is the signature pot stickers they don't put what's inside it. If anyone had allergies, how would we know if they don't list what's inside the pot stickers. The place is very clean, you can either see someone at the register or the kiosk for self checkout. They had some sides that were near the register. We tried the Cucumbers they were okay different from what I'm use to but good. I'd come back again to try their dumplings and boba looks yummy. Also downside parking lot is tiny and can be hard to get in bc the panda express drive thru line blocks the entrance.
