I walked in and there was country music playing. It took me back to the good old days growing up in North Carolina but it felt really uncanny because I was eating ... spicy peanut dumpling ? Honestly peak experience. read more

Came here for a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon. We only had the crab meat and pork soup dumplings which were very good. It is way better than Joe Shanghai in my opinion. And also tried the cold icy soy milk and sweet soybean pudding. They were yummy. This new place is huge and very clean. Our waiters were very attentive and helpful. We will definitely come back again for dinner. read more

3.5 Had their pork soup dumplings and were good. The wontons in peanut sauce were ok; I think I make a similar sauce at home so nothing different for me. In their wonton soup to-go, wontons were separately packed. Clear broth but was too plain, bland. Didn't see an option with noodles, which I would've liked. During cold weather, it was also cold while inside so good for a quick bite. Located near one of the 71st St-Continental Ave subway exit. Parking meters in the area. read more

My first time visiting this location as I typically go to the Price St. location in Flushing. Found this spot very convenient next to the Forest Hills-71st AVE subway station. Placed order and waited about 10 minutes, not bad during the evening rush and ppl coming in to grab dinner. The dumplings and beef scallion pancakes were delicious. A couple tables available here and a long counter to enjoy your meal and the great view of bustling Queens Blvd. Staff was friendly and efficient. Check them out if you haven't already. read more

Small space if you're going with a few ppl. More of a take out place. Soup dumplings taste good but it doesn't have a traditional feel. Service is fine and food can take a bit of time so order ahead. Not bad just not my personal favorite. Good for take out ! read more

Nan Xiang Express - Soup dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

I love how they opened an express location of Nan Xiang here in Forest Hills. The actual shop is mostly takeout friendly, but it *does* have seating (only 2-3 tables and then some window seats). I have gotten soup dumplings and the shrimp fried rice to go and also tried the beef noodle soup. The soup dumplings and fried rice were both excellent, very flavorful and generous portions. The beef noodle soup I found to be just ok, the beef was tender but soup was on the bland side. I would definitely go back for the soup dumplings though. Only knocked a star off for that beef noodle soup, but it is closer to a 4.5/5 in my opinion. read more

Nan Xiang Express - Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Shanghainese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

When this place first opened it was great. I've ordered from here a few times though and the quality and flavor have consistently declined each time. Last week was probably the last time I'll order from here. The soup dumplings, while still tasty, arrive stuck together and completely break when taking them apart. The stir fried udon noodles are flavorless, mushy and overcooked. The cucumber tastes old and off. It's disappointing because I thought we'd found a decent spot. On to the next though. read more

I love their bums and soup dumplings. I ordered hot and sour soup this time - so good. My fav place in Williamsburg

I've had Nan Xiang twice now, and I realized that I just don't think it's for me. It definitely feels like the fast food of traditional Chinese cuisine. Ordered things like the crab and pork soup dumplings, scallion pancake with beef, pork buns, rice cakes, peanut dumplings, etc. Everything was fine but lacked depth of flavor. The peanut dumplings just tasted like peanut butter to me. Rice cakes were mildly salty and sort of bland. Soup dumplings were decent, I appreciated that they held together through delivery to consumption. I think with everything I had, I could just recall another restaurant's version of it that I enjoyed more. read more

The soup dumplings were so thick and definitely look like they were frozen. Tasted so bad.

My first visit to Nan Xiang Express was excellent! I planned to order three dishes--Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings, Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, and Fried Noodles with Vegetables--but I wasn't sure which vegetables were in the last two. My server, Jenny, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She explained that the vegetable dumplings are made with carrot, Shanghai bok choy, and glass noodles, and the fried noodles include wood ear mushrooms, Shanghai bok choy, and tofu skin. Thanks to her clear explanation, I ordered with confidence. Jenny also kindly brought all three dishes to my table without me having to ask. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Her kindness and clear communication made my first visit truly enjoyable. read more

Ordered via UberEats. Came fast and hot - got the pork dumplings and chicken fried udon. Both delish! Good quality and fresh, wasn't that expensive either. Will re-order to try more of the menu! read more

Passed by Nan Xiang Express twice and I had to read Yelp reviews which did not disappoint. Omg! The food here is amazing. Love love the Shrimp Fried Udon and the pork soup dumplings. Well seasoned and flavorful. Staff is helpful when ordering. There is a menu on the counter by the register where you can review to decide on which items to order. My neck was getting strained from lifting my head up to see their huge menu board. The restaurant is pretty small but there are definitely chairs and tables you can sit to enjoy your meal. Pretty red bag is where your food is placed to pick up order. Our food was pipping hot by the time we got home. Items are packaged well for no spillage. Will be back to try their other items. read more

I usually order all time for dumplings on my lunch break. Wide variety of options. I usually order through online just because I feel it takes a while for the food when you walk in. Clean space overall. Nice addition to the area read more

I always order lunch/dinner from this place, usually quick and delicious. Not sure what happened today for lunch. Braised noodle soup quality was not as good as before, feels like noodle didn't cook thoroughly, and the beef quality were bad, very tough. Kofu was spoiled, tasted sour. Dumplings were still ok.. hope they check their food before they send out the food. read more

The pan fry dumpling was a bit doughy but service was quick and fit our schedule for a quick bite to go to Rockaway Beach!

I came her on Saturday for dinner. It was amazing amazing experience form when I walked in to when I left. Jenny who was at the front helped me and was amazing. She told me to download the app and I saved $10.00 on my order. This was my second time having Nan Xiang and my first time I was not impressed. This time I would say it was good and I would definitely go to other locations. I ordered the scallion pancake beef and the pork soup dumplings. The pork soups dumplings were good; they had a good amount of soup and did not break. The scallion beef pancakes were good but I prefer the scallion pancake without beef. The scallion pancakes was well cooked and crispy without being greasy. I enjoyed both items very much and look forward to trying other items. I recommend this place fully. read more

Nice delicious vinegar sauce for the scallion pancake and the chili oil was also good.

I'm actually really surprised I haven't rated this before. Nan Xiang is nothing if not consistent. Obviously the bigger/main restaurant is the place to go if you're looking for incredible soup dumplings. But if you're in the area/don't want to wait a potentially long wait/want something quick/simple, this is a great option. It's right across from my bus home from the subway so when I missed my first bus I figured I'd swing by. The soup dumplings are always great-can't go wrong with any of the flavors (steamed and pan-fried). This time I grabbed the beef scallion pancake which is always just a TAD too oily but still rather good. The noodle dishes aren't the reason you come here but are also quite nice. Checkout/service is simple and the prices are reasonable. Ultimately, if you want to avoid the hub-bub of the main restaurant, this is a nice alternative option. read more

I popped in on my way home from work. I ordered the pork and veg wontons covered in peanut sauce and the signature pork soup dumplings. These weren't the best I've had in the area, nor was it the worst. I felt underwhelmed with them, and had to go ask for chili sauce. The staff seemed very bored, as through they were just there to do their shift (I totally get it) though it seemed as though asking for the chili sauce was an extra chore. Not a spot I'll come back to or recommend. read more

It's nice that there is a second location for Nan Xiang being in forest hills since I hate driving into flushing these days. But nothing compares to the original location in flushing. Flushing definitely has more options on the menu including different noodles dishes and the cold edemame/tofu/sherpard purse appetizer. But I'm still glad there is a location here if you want a quick bite. read more

The atmosphere is nice when you first walk in they provide free cucumber lemon water while you wait. The food is cheap and the portions are way bigger than I was expecting for $11 dollars. I tried various flavors of the soup dumplings all were great but I especially like the truffle flavor. I was with a party of 7 and all of our food came out in about 10 mins. So the service was definitely fast, However I felt the staff could have checked on us more. Overall it's a great experience for the price you pay and would definitely recommend. read more

My friend and I ordered the chicken soup dumplings and they were amazing!! I loved the broth and steaminess each bite had. It was enough to fill both of us honestly as a light appetizer snack. There is a kiosk in there so if you aren't feeling too social you can order through there. The workers here are very sweet and accommodating!! My only minus one was that they started to mop the floor as we started to eat and it rubbed my nose the wrong way. It's not their fault but it turned my experience a little salty. But the food is amazing, Im glad they opened up one here in Forest Hills! read more

Takeout Magic! There are no seats at this post but this take out branch of the original in Flushing nails the target. Nan Xiang is celebrated for having some of the best soup dumplings in the universe and their hotly contested reign continues. There once was a time where restaurants that specialized in this dish were fewer, unlike today where there are many recognized contenders to the crown, totally our gain! Whether you agree or not about who is #1, Nan Xiang has continued to perform well as they have expanded across the city and states, and deserves a spot on the rankings close to the top. Their iteration of a dish that originated in a Shanghai suburb of Nanxiang over 150 years ago, has a pillowy thin skin, easily punctured with the slightest of touch once it leaves the steamer. The "soup" inside, a winter rich and satisfying unctuous broth will definitely change your perception, of whether or not something so small, can be so stick to your bones filling. You will unfortunately need to get on a treadmill after a meal here. I mostly stick to the original, sometimes I'll go with the crab meat version if my taste requires more umami, but these days there are flavor options to taste if you venture off the beaten path. Follow the exact steps on how to enjoy and your tongue will not get roasted by the broth, and more importantly by those around you, who will undoubtedly tag you for being a rookie! While Nan Xiang does have a speciality calling card, they are more than just that, they have great noodles especially the beef noodle soup and dumplings, fried and steamed, meat or veggie dumplings. These days I find myself enjoying more of the other dishes they make which are also very satisfying. For those that with to partake in some healthier options they have non meat dishes and steamed veggie dumplings which are my current favorite. One final word on the soup dumplings is that while this is a mostly takeout restaurant, do not wait very long after you get your order to enjoy the soup dumplings or steamed dumplings as they do not age well. Minutes are like hours for these precious bites and they must be enjoyed as soon as you can get yourself over to the park table and bench nearby. Even a slice of pizza right out of the oven is superior to a slice that has been sitting around for an hour or two! read more

I came here for dinner because it's a new place and I heard amazing things. They also don't cook with sesame oil, which is a good thing for me and my allergy, at least while pregnant. I ordered the shrimp fried udon. It is absolutely delicious! I am so impressed. I had heard amazing things abut this place, so I did set a high bar. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes as well as their soup dumplings and tea. The place is really small. Only has one high top to sit about 6 people so it really does more of a take out business. I was shocked to see that the girl was eating dinner behind the counter and taking orders. I didn't think that was professional. Only reason why 4 and not 5 stars. Servings are very large and food also came out quickly. I'll be back again read more

I stopped here for some lunch and was very indecisive since they had so many great options. The staff were very friendly and patient as I went back and forth about what I wanted, LOL. I opted for the chicken soup dumplings. The restaurant is small but did have a few table and chairs for a quick meal. However, it's more of a takeout spot. Prices were reasonable. I took my food home to eat and was very satisfied with my dumplings. They were nicely seasoned and very fulfilling. I will definitely return to check out some other menu items. read more
