Solid spot for Asian food and decently priced too. I’ve ordered the dumplings, potstickers, noodles, and wonton soup and they were all good

Great dumpling and vibrant ambiance! Took longer than I excepted to have the food prepared. And I expected better or specially designed sauce container, the the sauce is an important part of experience. Overal I recommend it.

Love the food, but please consider having a smaller portion size for the beef noodle soup. Some customers may want to try more items with less cost and smaller portion sizes. In addition, please consider a loyalty program for customers like other fast casual chains. It can give more incentive and customer satisfaction for future visits.

Spicy noodles were delicious! Good deal @ $8

Update in 2026: So this place has become very pricey in my opinion for what it has to offer. Eating environment depends on customers to maintain the cleanness and wiping down tables and the mess from previous customers. It used to have some kind of sanitizer but the register. Now there's non. So eating here, you need to clean the tables yourself with no clean in my solution.
Upon the first year of ots opening: I love the food and drinks here. The price is a bit too high though. I would order the food here more often if the price is reasonable.

Honestly the best dumplings, noodles - so good I even ordered them 3 days in a row. Always had it delivered but no issues - food always best quality and even tastes good the next day. Corn / chicken, pork dumplings - delicious. spicy and non-spicy wontons - delicious. Same for the spicy and signature noodles - so good. Food isn't that spicy - but you can always add more. Definitely recommend!!

I'm happy Bafang has made its way to Mira Mesa! It definitely has Taiwanese fast food energy. We always order online and pick up and it is easy to do. I like the old fashioned noodles, potstickers, and wonton soup. I also loved the soy wild mango and I'm devastated they took their drinks off the menu 😭
This place is popular. Once in, I saw a lot of to go orders from delivery services and take outs.
It took a little longer than expected to get the food, but that's understandable since its lunch time.
The soup was very good. The dumplings were very good. The rice and pork was very good. The service was good, and they were helpful.
Clean Toilets. Nice clean tables. Soda machine. Kiosk for self ordering. Plenty of parking.

I've been to Taiwan four times and the beef noodle soup and traditional noodles are as good as any I've had in Taiwan and so are the dumplings. Corn chowder is a little sweet the dumpling soup is great. Also, try the spicy noodles very authentic flavor. I like that they have a kiosk option for ordering.

I ordered potstickers, but after eating just two pieces I realized they were completely undercooked. The dough was still raw, sticky, and mushy inside. I reported this to the staff, and although they remade the dish for me, they did so very unwillingly and never offered a single apology, which was disappointing.
On top of that, the potstickers were extremely tasteless — there was basically no salt at all. Even more surprising, the restaurant claimed to have vinegar, but what they actually provided was soy sauce instead. A place serving potstickers without real vinegar is quite unbelievable.
To make matters worse, the tables were very dirty and clearly not cleaned. All of the trays looked like they were reused without proper washing, with sticky sauce residue and visible marks left on them. Overall, a very poor dining experience and definitely not recommended.

I got extremely bad diarrhea after eating here. The food must not be sanitary. I ordered the crispy chicken and the potstickers.
Aside from the diarrhea I’m currently having, it’s basically like an Asian ikea. Very bare bones, no service, and a limited menu. It is not comparable to a din tai fung dupe at all.
It’s also takes extremely long to get your food. Expect to wait around 20 minutes even if it isn’t busy.
Would be like a 3.5ish without the diarrhea, but I have it so gotta knock off some stars for that.

This is one of my favorite places!!! I just love the kimchi and pork pot stickers, the flavor is just great, and when you dip'em in a black vinegar and soy sauce mix... It's delicious!! The atmosphere is fine, my family and me feel quite comfortable there; although some times it gets a bit crowded, as could be expected!! The staff is very attentive, they answer easily ane questions, and make sure you get exactly what you order. The price is very reasonable, and the food is fresh -my main reason to like this spot!! There is plenty of parking, even if you need to recharge your EV. I would recommend the dry noodle beef bowl, the noodles are very good and the beef has a flavor that gets complemented nicely with the hot sauce they have. Definitely a good place for a quick bite, I am a recurring customer!!
