Bafang Dumpling is a Taiwanese restaurant chain. Outside Taiwan, Bafang Dumpling also has branches in Hong Kong, and the United States.[1] The company exited the Mainland Chinese market on December 2022.
Founded in 1998 in Tianmu, Taipei by founder Lin Jiayu, Bafang Dumplings specialized in potstickers and dumplings as its main products. Since 2008, the restaurant chain has expanded to Hong Kong, and in 2014, it further expanded its overseas locations to mainland China. In September 2021, Bafang Yunji International Co., Ltd., the restaurant group of Bafang Dumpling, became a publicly traded company in Taiwan.[2] Then, on 26 March 2022, the first store in the United States was opened in the City of Industry, California.[3] As of May 2022, there were 998 stores in Taiwan and 1100 stores worldwide.[4]
