    Truffle
    Michiko M.

    Finally this spot it open. I've been grabbing their breakfast through the little window. I got there around 8 and asked if they were open. The lady seemed annoyed but according to Yelp it closes at 10. So a little confused. You can order everything on the menu - ordered the truffle soup dumpling and the bbq pork buns. Not bad but a bit expensive plus the 3% credit card surcharge. I hate that places do this now

    Pork and Crab soup dumplings
    Cat C.

    This new restaurant replaced our favorite soup dumpling so we decided to give it a try. It looks like they still doing a soft opening. There was an offer to to get the soup dumpling for 1/2 price with $15 purchase but it was supposedly sold out when we arrived at 2pm. So we ordered other the pork and crab soup dumpling instead. Everything we ordered was pretty good. Service was friendly although it could have been better. We still had one more dish and waited. We had to remind the server we had one more dish (the pan fried duck buns) and they forgot so had to wait longer. There is booth seating and table seating available. In the front, it looks like there is a window that will be open in the future to buy baked goods and beverages. There is a 3% credit card surcharge. I think they still have kinks to work out so will have to it again in the future.

    My boyfriend and I went here and absolutely loved it! We got the classic pork soup dumplings, cantonese bbq pork buns, dan dan noodles and shanghai pan fried pork buns. Food was all 10/10 and came out super fast! The dan dan noodles were a little spicy for me but my boyfriend liked them. I got the peach & oolong tea for a drink and It was so sweet and tasty. The presentation of everything was so pretty & aesthetic too. Server was super nice & they cleaned quickly. (They also take apple pay). Loved this spot will def return!

    This place has the best soup dumplings, soup noodles, stir fried noodles as well as side dishes…read moresuch as garlic cucumber. The service wasn't too bad but it can be a long wait time if you come during peak lunchtime and dinner time hours. Don't expect music to be played in the background as some restaurants do but it gives an alright atmosphere.

    We wanted to compare the XLB to Din Tai Fung.. I haven't been to Nan Xiang in 13 years... They…read morecompletely renovated the place... nicer. Just as when we were gonna pit our names on the waiting list, the host appeared and told us to go upstairs. We sat near the area where the dumplings were made. We ordered the Lucky 6 so we can sample different flavors but we still got an order of pork soup dumplings as well. Also ordered the shrimp wonton soup. I noticed they had passion fruit tea and omg you should definitely get it. It was so good. Grapefruit peach.. just okay in comparison.. Our wonton soup came first which is enough for 3 ppl if you just want a bowl to try. It had lil tiny shrimps in it ...not used to that but the flavor of the soup was light and the wontons were good. Skin was thin, not dense at all. Then our XLB came. I really liked the sampler. I tried the Scallop, chicken, pork and Luffa Gourd. L had the truffle and crab.. we were able to taste the flavors. They're light but very distinct. We don't eat too much sodium or processed food in our diets so we were able to distinguish each one. I actually liked the Scallop and chicken ones. The gourd one was really sweet but I could definitely taste the melon flavor. Chicken was savory and a touch better than the pork XLB...the scallop one was very unique. Light but very yummy. L said the crab one actually had more flavor than other restaurants in Chinatown. And we both prefer these to the ones at Din Tai Fung. Price isn't an issue but taste wise this has a ton of soup, more flavor. DTF tastes almost like a frozen XLB cuz it's so small and doesn't have any soup! I have purchased frozen ones from restaurants before. Will definitely come here or a different location if I feel like having XLB. Service was pretty good. Very attentive. Refilled our tea all the time and when we ordered more items...everything was quick. Nice spot to grab a quick, casual meal.

    My friend and I were at New World Mall and randomly came across this Shanghainese spot, so we…read moredecided to give it a try. Soup dumplings (pork & crab) - not bad, but I've had better. The filling was decent, but the vinegar on the side was too mild. I'm used to a darker, more robust vinegar with XLB, so this didn't quite hit. Braised pork - very tender and flavorful, served with quail eggs. This was one of the stronger dishes. Yangzhou fried rice - not too oily which I liked, but served with only 5 an small shrimps... Sweet & sour shredded potato (cold dish) - slightly spicy, I really enjoyed this one. It was part of a promo where you can get it for $1 when you spend $30 on entrees, so definitely worth adding. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Not everything stood out, but it's solid enough that I'd recommend it, and I'd come back to try more of the menu.

    Highly recommend for soup dumplings and Shanghainese food cravings when nearby and more well known…read morespots in flushing are too packed or have a long wait. I've come here during prime lunch time on Saturdays and there's always been plenty of tables in a nice clean ambiance. In terms of the quality of food, I would say it is definitely up to par with decent serving sizes... my go to orders are the pork soup dumplings, pickled mustard greens and spicy fish stew, and pan fried buns. The bathroom is also outside the restaurant and shared with the mall so you will need to grab a key to go, in case that's important to you :)
