amazing soup dumplings they really are some of the best in New York they aren't lying. They are also open when all the other dumpling spots are closed . read more

This location is not very busy, we easily found a table for four in the back. We each ordered a drink and several plates of food. Unfortunately, none of them were very impressive. I think the best was, surprisingly, the four happiness sponge tofu. The fried rice was something you can easily make at home. The braised beef noodle soup was tasty, but an awfully small portion. Everything else like cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, dumplings, etc. are nothing special compared to other Chinese restaurants. The fruit teas are pretty good though! Everything also comes in takeout containers, which is wasteful for parties that dine in. read more

Very delicious food and fast service. Very clean and homely environment. Great options

My go-to spot for something quick & comforting, especially on cold days. Love the crab & pork soup dumplings.

was in the area and wanted good snack. got the spicy pork dumplings with soup and wonton soup. both were delightful. dumplings were darker than i am used to but the broth was super rich and savory. highly recommend. the wonton soup tastes like home. and the wontons themselves were pretty good too. would definitely visit if in the area (was shopping nearby) cute little shop with good seating and pricing was reasonable. workers were very nice and helpful as well read more

clean, cute, and convenient! self order kiosk is easy to use and food arrived quickly. food is tasty and affordable

A great spot for some comfort food. I got combo A, which came with XLB, Chinese soy milk, and scallion noodles. Three of my literal favorites. Everything was tasty, and I think the value of the meal is exceptional. Will definitely be back! read more

So went here yesterday since I needed soft food to eat. I was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter who helped take my order then I sat a table . He gave me the iced soybean milk very quickly and only a few minutes later already got the chicken fried rice cake that was cooked very well both the chicken and the soft rice cakes! Soup dumplings followed. I don't really like pork so it was nice to have a chicken option both the dumpling skin and the inside was bomb. It was everything I wanted in the moment. I will definitely return here the next time I have a craving and it's great value for money! read more

Nan Xiang Express - Bok Stir-Fried Boy Choy w. Garlic , Stir fried Noodles, - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice, tasty addition to the neighborhood, as the world-famous xiao long bao from nan Xiang make their way to Williamsburg, making it a lot easier for Brooklynites such as myself to taste delicious soup dumplings this side of Flushing. Occupying the space of sow-defunct (and sorely missed!) Dim Sum Bar, this is mostly a takeout space, although there are 3-4 small tables inside, and a couple more in the small outdoor space at the back. The decor modern/minimalist, what you expect for a takeout. Service is courteous and the dishes are prepared fast. We enjoyed all the dishes we tried: the crab and pork soup dumplings of course, but also the scallion pancake with sliced beef, the four happiness sponge tofu, and the shrimp fried udon. As this is mostly a takeout business, most dishes are served in takeout containers. This means that, if you dine in, you will produce an inordinate amount of plastic. As there is only one trash can, it's unclear whether any of the plastic used here is actually recycled. I certainly hope so. read more

Came here because I was craving some dim sum food on a Sunday afternoon! The beef fried rice cake and the signature soup dumplings were so good and was the perfect portion for two people. We also ordered an extra dish of the beef tendon and tripe in spicy sauce, but the dish was cold. I think it was meant to be eaten cold, but I didn't like it. I would have preferred if the dish was hot. The portions were big since the 3 dishes were too much for two people, so we ended up taking the beef tendon/tripe home for leftovers the next day, which tasted a lot better with rice and heated up. Service at this place was a bit slow. We ordered on the screen, but waited quite a while to get the food. It's pretty much self service, there's a water pitcher in the back that you have to get yourself, and when you are done with the meal, you need to toss the food/containers in the trash and put the tray away. I didn't appreciate that this place used to-go containers and utensils, even if you are dining in. Overall, I did really like their soup dumplings and beef rice cakes, so I'd definitely come back for those items again if I'm in the area :) read more

Nan Xiang Express - Crispy Pork Chop Rice Bowl - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The staffs were friendly. Be sure to check in via Yelp to get free iced soy milk or lime green tea. The lime green tea was very refreshing. We ordered two soup dumplings crab and pork both are delicious! You can add vinegar, soy sauce and/or chili paste to your dipping sauce. The scallion pancake and chicken rice cakes are another good option. The rice cakes have a bit more sauce therefore, it was salty. However, you can get refill unlimited water at the back. You can dine in or take out. You can order your food via the kiosk by the door. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Would recommend coming here again! read more

I asked the girl at the counter if the scallion pancake was honestly good and we had a little moment of me looking into her eyes and laughing bc she's like you're trying to see if I'm lying - lol - sadly despite her recommendation the scallion pancake was not that good. It was basically just all friedness, no actual onion, and idk where the pancake was. My friend got the spicy wonton peanut sauce dumplings. She ate them because she was hungry but said she didn't really like them. Unfortunate. read more

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while and omg I'm so happy I finally did!! I ordered so many things lol - soup dumps? Banging. Rice cakes? Chewy clouds in my mouth. Baby bok choy? So bright and crunchy! The servings were generous, the service was excellent. 10 out of 10, would recommend. read more

Unknowingly saw this on the day of the soft opening. The store is clean and organized. There's sauces and napkins on each table. Most of the items have a picture on the menu, and they even give instructions on how to eat soup dumplings. :) Xiao long bao (5/5) - pleasantly surprised with this, as not a lot of places make it well. The soup inside was good and the dough was soo soft. Beef scallion pancake (3/5) - tasted like what I expected but it's doughier than what I prefer. Wonton with peanut sauce (4/5) - the wontons were mixed with chili and peanut sauce. It was a tasty combination, but just a tad too spicy for me to enjoy without breaking a sweat. read more

Now when I crave soup dumplings, I don't need to travel far! Make sure to check in on Yelp and you can get a free drink. I got the Iced Lime Green Tea which was pretty good! Workers are friendly and they have seating inside if you wanted to eat here. I've ordered for pickup a couple times already. Food is always ready when I arrive and the food is still hot by the time I walk back home. Soup dumplings (both the pork and crab flavors) are good and the flavors are consistent with their Flushing location. I like pan fried noodles and they separate the sauce and noodles which I appreciate. Noodles were crispy just the way I like it! The only thing I will say is that the soup dumplings can stick together. I had a couple of the soup dumplings pop when I tried to separate them. Container is a bit tight to fit 6 dumplings. read more

Great location. The place is clean. Very fast service. Open late. The price is reasonable.

Honestly shocked this place has such high reviews. The dumplings were incredibly disappointing and we tried just about every kind of variety they had. It's basically like dumpling fast food (I also noticed it's a chain and if you look at its other locations the ratings are lower too). The highlight were the pan fried pork buns and the steamed broccoli... The XLB lacked flavor and something tasted off about the beef dumplings especially (had to throw them out after only eating half of them, which I forced down as I hate wasting food). It's also not super cheap either for an "express" so you're not getting much bang for your buck nor is it good food. Would seriously recommend going to other dumpling spots in the general vicinity as this is not it... read more

i like the music in here, i also like the dumpling guy on the menu. overall great vibes.

This place was great! We stumbled upon it on our way out of town and wanted a quick pick up to eat on the ride back. We ordered some soup dumplings and a tea. It took all of 10-15 mins, enough for us to go to the dispensary next door and come back. They provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our soup dumplings. Chili sauce, vinegar sauce, soup spoons and chopsticks. The flavors are absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!!! read more

Nan Xiang Express - There's 6 - but ate one before photo - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped by Nan Xiang Express for a quick bite and left totally satisfied. The xiao long bao here is legit--super flavorful broth, thin but sturdy skin, and a clean pork filling that hits all the right notes. You can tell they've kept the quality from the original Flushing spot. I also got the braised beef noodle soup and it was unexpectedly great. The broth was rich and savory without being too oily, and the beef was tender with just the right amount of fat. Noodles had a nice bounce too. Don't skip the soy milk--it's subtly sweet, really fresh, and balances everything out. Perfect with the dumplings if you want something other than tea. read more

Nan Xiang Express - A1. Nan Xiang Signature Pork Soup Dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good soup dumplings--for a chain. But the worker in the back was blasting video games on his phone like it was his living room. They offer a free drink if you leave a review, but then demand it has to be five stars--something the sign conveniently leaves out. Of course, anyone can edit their review afterward (like I'm doing now), so the whole review-farming scheme ends up both pointless and insulting. It's hard to suffer fools quietly. read more
