Great food, friendly staff and super clean location! Decent selection of soup dumplings and other eats

The food was great. The noodles had lots of flavor and I would definitely come back here again to try different menu items since the menu had such a variety. The place itself had lots of seating and was pretty empty around 1:00. read more

periodddd loved this place!! it's my go to!! can't wait to come back and try everything else!! I got the soup dumplings and sticky rice shu mais read more

Food is great! The service on the other hand is very slow. It should be named "local" not "express". I ordered my food (soup dumplings) for take out and it took over 30 minutes to get my food. Last time I got the orange chicken with rice and took a long time as well. No bueno in my opinion. read more

The Fried Rice is great! My daughter loves it, we will definitely come back again and try more food! read more

I always eat shrimp dumplings so I just opted for the spicy beef dumplings with low expectations. However, these are delicious!!! Not too spicy and the flavor from the soup and the meat is amazing. The vegetable spring rolls are ok, pretty standard. And I got the sweet soy milk just to try it and surprisingly liked it. It settled my stomach. read more

It's not bad but the quality is not as good compared to the true restaurant on 33rd Street. I go to 33rd location all the time and was excited to get the express near my neighborhood. I've been to the express three times now. The prices are practically the same but the Xiao long bao has less soup inside and the skin is soggy. Also the passion fruit tea has no flavor, get the melon one is more flavorful. The sweet and sour soup is so good. I would still recommend but could use a bit more improvement on food quality to match the restaurant. Express is clean and bright, plenty of seating and they have free self served citrus infused water on the side. read more

Nan Xiang Express - Soggy skin, already broke. Flavor is fine but not as good as the ones from 33rd Street. - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Quick service, cute place, great food. Definitely get the soup dumplings! They are so delicious and juicy. Would come back here.

Our food took quite a while to arrive--at least 30 minutes--which may have been due to a staffing shortage. We've experienced much faster service at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in both Flushing and Midtown. That said, the soup dumplings were excellent. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes we ordered were just average. read more

Like another reviewer wrote a few days ago, I also encountered the same rude staff member. Since I didn't know how to use the kiosk, I decided to order at the counter. I tried ordering pork pot stickers as a meal, and she said that I had to use the kiosk to make my order a meal. I'm not sure why she couldn't take my order at the counter. I then told her that I had trouble using the kiosk, and she made me feel stupid for not knowing how to use it. Clearly, Nan Xiang needs to hire people who are willing to help customers instead of rolling their eyes at them for needing assistance. As for the food, I waited around 20 minutes for my meal and the pot stickers weren't that great. I've had better Chinese food elsewhere. They were definitely not worth the 20-minute wait. read more

Nan Xiang has a real problem at the front of the house at their Brooklyn location. The staff is rude and does not care about their customers. The only reason it survives is because they have outsourced customer communication to computers: however, the people are so rude, even this action can't prevent the nastiness of the staff from ruining a meal out. After asking for some assistance with the ordering computer which was malfunctioning, I was ignored almost face to face with the counter person. I asked politely for assistance and was greeted with rude and childish behavior from someone who was obviously having a very bad day. She made a great effort to let me know in not too subtle ways that I was disturbing her and made it clear she thought I was stupid as if I'm supposed to be some kind of expert at working their ordering computer. I was going to leave, when I returned to speak to the manager. She went to him and I could see the manager, if that really was the manager, laughing at me with her about my problem. He then came over to pretend like he cared and touched me. What a weirdo! Who does that? You can come to this establishment but be forewarned, you may encounter people who are weird and are obviously miserable. They don't have any respect for the hard earned money we spend at their establishment. We have wonderful restaurants in Downtown Brooklyn with customer service, even at the self service places when you encounter an issue. There is absolutely no reason to treat the people who keep these restaurants going with such disrespect. I can only say that I feel deeply sorry for what ever these poor people are going through that causes them to lash out. I'm doubtful Nan Xiang will take action to reform the behavior of these troubled people- perhaps it's the company that is making their workers so miserable. read more

Came back again to try the fried rice and spicy wontons with peanut sauce. Just the right amount of spice & great to mix with the rice! This is my new go to place! read more

Amazing soup dumplings. I usually only eat soup dumplings in chinatown, but this really hit the spot and it is walking distance. Service is fast and the place super clean. Definitely recommend! read more

Love coming here, fresh food and good service. Very clean restaurant and quick! Come here whenever you are in Brooklyn!

So good! The chicken soup dumplings are the best but the other items are great too. They pack it really well for takeout so that it stays warm and doesn't spill. Best dumpling place around! read more

This place is amazing! Really great soup dumplings and noodle dishes. The staff is amazing and so kind! This place is a hidden gem in the Jay St Metrotech Area. Highly recommend! Perfect for a quick bite or lunch. 很好吃！ read more

Really unimpressive Chinese. The Hot and Soup had a nice flavor but had so much cornstarch that it was literally glop. Made it unappetizing to eat. The dumplings were undercooked. The meat was okay, but the wrapper dough tasted partially raw. The noodle dish I got was equally medicore. The staff is as nice as they get for a fast food place. My stomach was really unhappy with me over this meal. read more

Express dumplings and soup noodles hit the spot when you don't have time for a more leisurely meal

Highly recommend this place. Great dim sum and not too expensive. It's a great addition to the neighborhood. Will be coming back often.

If you need a fix for xiaolong bao and don't want to trek to Chinatown and wait, this is pretty good. Could use more soup in the dumplings but meat is pretty good. Sweet and soup soup is okay read more

Super delicious and came out super hot The food came out fairly quickly and we had leftovers as well. Lots of food for 2 people and at a v reasonable price - would definitely stop by again!! read more

So happy to have a xiao long bao spot in downtown Brooklyn! You can't go wrong with anything you order here. I love the pan fried buns and soup dumplings the best. read more

I love it here. Great food. I got the spicy crispy chicken and it was so yummy and I loved the quick and efficient service.

It feels like a cafeteria with super annoying music. But the food is really good. Like really, really good.

Its atmosphere is amazing with calm music in the background. You can see the workers are working hard to make our food taste amazing and have a great experience. read more

The Asian female server provided poor service, wouldn't recommend. The thick noodles were very tough.

Tasty food, very friendly service, clean and busy place that seems to attract repeat customers. Came here randomly with two kids and everyone left happy. read more

Love that it is a casual sit-down restaurant. Very clean and there is a self-order kiosk.

OMG the food here is literally SO GOOD. I had spicey beef soup dumplings and a few other items and it was delicious. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nan Xiang Express, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. From start to finish, it was truly exceptional. Love this one. read more

Very nice, kind server, lovely ambience and nice music playing. Not many people but there is enough room even if it's crowded.

Was the only live customer in the restaurant and had to wait 10 minutes to get my takeout order because the staff prioritized delivery orders over me. Really terrible customer service approach- pls consider a change to how you're running this new location. read more

We usually go to Flushing to get our soup dumpling fix. Now that they have an express store in DT Brooklyn, we don't have to travel so far. Tastes just as good! Recommended if you are craving soup dumpling. read more

I was very excited to see a Nan Xiang dumpling place around as I was craving for soup dumplings, but I was very disappointed. For a Shanghainese, the brand Nan Xiang means the number 1 brand for soup dumplings and carries a high standard. Not sure if the "express" means I shouldn't have such high expectations for authenticity. The soup dumplings were average tasty and the skin was a tad too thick. The pot stickers' bottoms weren't even crispy. The old style scallion noodles weren't tasty at all and the texture was not good. Furthermore the service was horrible. It was unclear whether the customers are supposed to return the tray and throw away the garbage. There were tables that were not cleared during our whole meal, and we had to clear someone else's garbage for a table we'd like to sit at. No utensils were given when the food was brought to the table either. The soy sauce and vinegar bottles were generally low on supply as well. The free water tank was empty when we arrived but they did fill it quickly after we told them about it. I truly hope the management of the place can improve and live up to the standards of the brand. read more

I had the scallion pancake and the crab meat and soup dumplings. Pancakes had no taste. The soup dumpling was good.

I tried the pork and veggie wonton in spicy peanut sauce. It was delicious. I love the peanut sauce that's not overwhelming.
