Bafang Dumplings Temple City 八方雲集

Great food, good prices. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and was able to use the kiosk.
The wait time was short and the service was good.
The guy handing me my food was very polite and friendly. I really like how this place is also kind of self service so it's great for people who just want a quiet lunch to themselves. The restaurant was clean.

I had been wanting to try Bafang Dumplings in Taiwan for a long time but never got the chance to. Finally got to try it in LA for the first time. The potstickers themselves are amazing -- it reminded me of some famous potstickers I had elsewhere before. The potsticker skin was thin and nicely crisped on the bottom, and the filling was tasty.

The only reason I docked a star is because the order took 20+ minutes to be ready. I'm glad the potstickers are prepped fresh but the wait time seems a bit too long given they have continuous orders coming in at peak lunch hours.

Plenty of parking in the parking lot and decent amount of seating inside.

Ordered the Number 1 combo which has 12 potsticker dumplings and choice of hot and sour soup, tea, or x. I chose the hot and sour soup which was very refreshing and served hot. There is a sauce area to the side if you would like to make your own sauce out of vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and garlic. And complimentary water cups too. Not a lot of interior seating but most people seem to be ordering to go. Parking in this plaza can get very busy above ground so enter the underground parking for more spots though they are a bit tight.

Does it worth 7 hours of driving?
I guess so, it’s pretty tasty and the ingredients are fresh.
I like the original flavor potstickers.
Combo +1.75, which is a pretty good deal.

Other dumplings are just above average.
I won’t spend my carb quota on those unless I live nearby.
