History
Founded in 1998 in Tianmu, Taipei, Taiwan, by Lin Jiayu, Bafang Dumpling is a restaurant chain that specializes in dumplings and potstickers as its main products. In 2008, it expanded to Hong Kong, and in 2014, it opened a location in mainland China. In September 2021, Bafang Yunji International Co., Ltd. became a publicly traded company in Taiwan.[2] On 26 March 2022, the first store in the United States opened in the City of Industry, California.[3] As of May 2022, there were 998 stores in Taiwan and 1,100 worldwide.[4]
In November 2022, it was announced that Bafang Dumpling would exit the Chinese market and shutter all of its 17 stores, located throughout Fujian province.[5]
