Since there is no DTF in the East Coast, this is the best alternate hands down. The entire dining experience is wonderful, from the decor, service and food that I can see how it earned its Michelin recommended status. You can also see them making the dumplings fresh in house. There was a 5 minute wait even at 3pm on a Saturday, so be prepared if coming on the weekend. Highlights are definitely the soup dumplings, specifically the gourd/shrimp/pork one. The umami taste of the gourd is such a good pairing with the shrimp and pork. These soup dumplings are big, causing the dough to need to be thicker (in comparison to DTF) so that it can hold the weight of the soup. Would skip the fried rice though as it's missing the wok hei. Seasonally they will also sell sticky rice dumplings, with sweet and savory flavors. I was able to get a cute bag with the purchase of 6. read more

Wow, Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings is in a hoppin' shopping center just over the bridge from Philly. Service was quick and friendly and diners flew in/out in groups of varying sizes. Enjoyed being able to see the dumplings being made through the windows toward the back of the dining room. We shared a number of items, including the special Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings, the traditional Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings, the Pan-fried Crispy Noodles with Vegetables, the Scallion Pancakes, the Cucumber Salad with Garlic, and Pan-fried Pork Dumplings. All were delicious--I could eat those cucumbers all day! My fellow diners also tried one of the special teas--rose strawberry with jelly, which they enjoyed. Will definitely return with more friends in tow. read more

As an Asian Californian, I will confirm this restaurant has unique Shanghai dishes worth exploring and has new items! Working late, I came to dine in around 10 PM and had fast delivery of everything I ordered. The food had creative tastes compared to the many traditional dumplings I have had in San Gabriel Valley. The dishes are fresh and rightfully cooked whether steamed or fried! The decor is slightly fancy enough for romance but contemporary for group gatherings. I had no problem with the servers and was grateful for military discount! I would defiantly come back to try the other options. read more

I decided to stop in today for lunch, it was my first time here and this is my new favorite spot, I love everything from the atmosphere to the nice service we received, they were very attentive. We ordered a little of everything from their pork dumplings which were really delicious especially with the vinegar sauce, we ordered spring rolled which came with a mild spicy and sweet sauce which was one of my favorites. The wonton soup was one of my favorites too with a unique flavor combination I don't know how to describe it but it was so good. We ordered mango and lyche green tea and it was so fresh with a fresh lime on top and came in a convenient to go cup. I was so looking forward to this drink and it did not disappoint. This is my favorite drink now. I don't know how I never knew about this place but we will be back all the time now. read more

This place is heaven for your taste buds. We've been here a few times and haven't had a single bad meal. Just ate here this afternoon and the hot soup dumplings were just what my soul needed on a freezing February afternoon. It was packed but we got a table almost immediately. We ordered the pork truffle and chicken soup dumplings, noodles with chicken, honey chicken and spicy beef bao. Every single thing was delicious. Service was very quick. They have a few robots for serving food which was super entertaining for my kids. This place is not Michelin recommended for nothing. Definitely recommend read more

We went here last night and really enjoyed everything we had! The restaurant was very well run and the food came out extremely fast. For appetizers we had the cucumber garlic salad, scallion pancake, and pork dumplings in the spicy peanut sauce. All of these dishes were absolutely delicious!! Would highly recommend all of these! For the main dinner, we had the pork buns and the scallop/pork soup dumplings. The pork buns were very tasty, but had too much bread. The soup dumplings were good, but I would probably try a different flavor if I go back. All of their dishes were so tasty! Their prices were so reasonable as well! read more

Checked out this dumpling spot while we were in town visiting UPenn, and it had tons of great reviews--definitely lived up to the hype. The dumplings were juicy and perfectly seasoned, with fresh, well-made dough. The side dishes were also really good. Overall, it was a great meal! read more

In terms of top tier soup dumpling franchises in North America, two other places come to mind before I pass judgement on Nan Xiang. First there is Din Tai Fung -- the undisputed global icon, technically flawless, universally beloved) whom I would place in the Michael Jackson tier. The precision, consistency, and refinement are world class and every bite feels like it was rehearsed a thousand times before hitting the stage. Kung Fu Kitchen, originating out of Flushing and now expanding into Boston and Florida, I would liken to the Justin Timberlake tier. It may not redefine the genre but it delivers confident, well executed performances across the board with its soup dumplings and hand pulled noodles. Clearly it knows what it is doing even if it's not aiming for absolute perfection. As for Nan Xiang which also has roots in Flushing, I'm reminded of someone who has transcended the mainstream but isn't quite the once-in-a-generation GOAT. That tier would be Beyoncé. Like the Queen B, this place commands reverence, not just enjoyment -- people don't just eat here, they make a pilgrimage. You research it, you dress for it, you post about it. The xiao long bao are technically elite -- the pleating is immaculate, the skin-to-filling ratio is almost spiritual, the broth doesn't spill. The menu also has a distinct point of view -- it's not trying to be Din Tai Fung. It has its own identity, taking bold risks with brightly colored dumpling skins representative of modern flavor combinations, a Taiwanese breakfast menu, and solid takes on various regional Chinese classics such as stir fried Shanghainese rice cake and fish filet and pickled cabbage noodle soup Think Joe's Shanghai in its prime, or an acclaimed independent like Tim Ho Wan before the Michelin star changed everything -- extraordinary craft, a devoted following, undeniable greatness, but still one tier below Michael Jackson who redefined the entire genre.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I was disappointed because they were out of cucumber and the green beans. We were there for lunch and those dishes were already sold out. They have special menu in addition to the regular one. I picked osmanthus honey chicken. The waiter was letting us know that it would take 20 minutes to prepare. It worth the wait. It's not overly sweet and not dry. I highly recommend it. The Taiwanese ribs are ok, there's some meat but a bit dry. The sweet sauce is enjoyable. It reminds me of barbecue sauce. I love the robot that brings out the orders. After you hit the button "thank you " it gives you a smiley face and then it leaves. read more

Who doesn't love a Michelin recommended restaurant? This place is hidden within the same shopping center as Trader Joe's and Cheesecake Factory, but is not to be missed! Their menu is quite a bit smaller than your average Dim Sum place, but eveything they have they do extremely well-- and all of the dumplings are made as you order (and you can see the guys working right behind the window!) We love the sampler soup dumpling 6 where you get to try one of everything, but you might just have to order your own basket to make sure you have each one all to yourself! read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Decent amount of food for the cost and what makes everything worthwhile is that the food was simply delicious. Great service, nice ambiance, and a well prepped meal that hit the spot. The soup dumplings were fresh filled with an abundance of taste sensations. The peanut butter chili dumplings were a good but between me and you ( a kick up in spiciness would have led me to rate them higher than good) But I get it, they could have added spices that gave the dish that top notch kick in flavorful heat on the tongue but probably didn't want to go too spicy and risk turning away those of us that are less flavorful heat tolerant Add robots serving food to tables to this night out and you've got an interesting dinning experience that leaves much more to talk anout then the usual dine and dash experience. Definitely worth checking it out even if just once, for the experience but if you're looking for authentic spices, flavors, and aroma I wouldn't send you here. It's more commercial than authentic. Although the dumplings are all individually hand made. You can watch them making them right in the kitchen which was intriguing to watch the attention to detail. Each dumpling crafted identically the same with intentional precision. In spite of it all I'd go back the food was good. read more

Best soup dumplings I have ever had! The unique, strong flavors were delicious to try and unique to other soup dumpling restaurants, as well as the great quality. We had the truffle pork and gourd luffa soup dumplings. The truffle and pork were the standout, we loved them the most. Gourd luffa was more veggies than meat but in a delicious way that we also enjoyed. We also tried some appetizers: scallion pancakes, cucumber salad, and the turnip and ham dish. Scallion pancakes were great and unique, cucumber salad was good, but the turnip and ham dish was strange and not what we were expecting (a little too flavorless and like a bun). Having said that, we will be returning for more soup dumplings for sure! read more

So upset ): I've been waiting to try this place and finally do. The service was OUTSTANDING, but their food was not. Then when I was eating my leftovers today I chomped down on a piece of metal. For the price they charge it should be much better quality and standards!!! "Michelin star". Would not recommend, will not be back again read more

Visited on a Friday night and the spot was jumping. My party of three waited for a few minutes to get a table. Friendly fast service. Fair prices. The dining area was at an above average loudness. Beautiful dining area. Every table was occupied. They have a few robots bringing plates to the tables. Pretty cool site. I ordered the crab/pork soup dumplings and they were fabulous & a 5/5. I also tried the Sweet & Sour Fried Flounder and it was 5/5. Seafood Noodle Soup got a 4/5. Come check them out. read more

LOVE LOVE this spot . Was visiting in the area from California and even I have heard the deliciousness of Nan Xiang from the west coast ! I was so happy that they were down the street from my hotel . Located in a big shopping plaza with plenty of parking . Nan Xiang itself is fairly large restaurant with plenty of seating and have tables for big groups as well . The food here is honestly not super expensive which I was surprised them being Michelin reviewed and all ! First it's really pretty in there the red touches everywhere honestly gives it such a nice vibe in there . Me and my bf got seated right away and were tended to quickly with water and I asked for jasmine tea which came out right away . We already knew what we wanted since I don't eat pork so went with the chicken soup dumplings , pan fried beef dumplings , beef noodles ... OMG everything was sooooo good ! We ate it up ! The staff was so friendly and helpful because it was my first time eating soup dumplings they explained the proper way to eat it and how to open it to let it cool down a bit ... It was so good we went for round 2 and added an order of their shrimp , top tier as well. So sad they are not in the west coast , hopefully one day they'll think of expanding to where I live *cough* Long Beach *cough * read more

I can't even deal with how awesome the service was here. We were a party of 9 with 5 being kids and 4 adults. We were seated right away and immediately after placing our large order, the food came out within 10 minutes - FRESH AND HOT. Service was obviously amazing - servers came to frequently refill waters and staff provided extra napkins without having to ask- especially seeing 4 toddlers at the table. The place was big and clean with a large window in the back that was a looking glass into the kitchen so you can see the talent behind the making of your soup dumplings. All the food we had was phenomenal. Every dish had its appropriate flavors. My favorite dish of the night with the exception of the soup dumpling was their sweet fish filet. The fish couldn't have tasted more fresh and had the right crunchiness to it, even though it was drenched in sauce ( not in an overbearing kinda way). Their scallion pancakes was hot and crunchy and their pan friend pork buns was perfectly made without the dough being too thick that it overpowered the meat inside. A must try is also the spicy dumplings which wasn't too spicy but just a nice little kick for you to enjoy. I would absolutely come back to this place again and highly recommend coming here! Hard to find good soup dumplings so if I have to drive 2 hours every time, I'd def take the drive! read more

So, wife and I came across this spot via IG and decided to give it a try to see the hype. Let's say, it wasn't disappointing at all. We didn't have any robots serving us, as we had real human servers. Every item we ordered came out in mins, fresh, quality and quantity was amazing. No mess up on the orders either. However, the only complain we had is, we wanted dessert and a lady server decided to drop off the check and when we mentioned we wanted dessert, she apologized and took the check away. Reason I being this up, yes we as customers need to be mindful of the table time and how long we occupy a table as there could be others waiting, but this is also where I love the European restaurant service better. In Europe they don't bring the check until and unless you ask for it - reason being, they don't want you to feel that they are kicking you out. Other than that, the food and ambiance was phenomenal at this spot! Definitely recommended. read more

On our way to Atlantic City and decided to stop by the Costco in Cherry Hill. Found Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings on Yelp and decided to give it a try since I have been to the branch in Flushing and found it very good. This location is really nice, spacious and elegantly decorated. The wait staff was really friendly and helpful; and there were enough people working that it wasn't hard to flag down someone if needed. We ordered their signature Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shanghai Stir-Fried Udon, and Sauteed String Bean with Garlic. Food came out very efficiently; everything was delicious! The dumplings came out piping hot with a lot of tasty juices inside. The noodle soup came with six nice pieces of beef shank which were tender and flavorful. The stir-fried udon was very tasty. I liked that both noodle dishes came with Shanghainess bok choy also. The string bean quality was excellent and was perfectly cooked. At the back of the restaurant is their kitchen and there is a glass window that showcases their dumpling chefs, eight of them! This is a really nice restaurant and I had a lovely dining experience here. Highly recommended! read more

My friend recommended Nan Xiang to me in Flushing, but unfortunately I wasn't able to go to that location when I was there because it was too busy. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is a chain and they had one in Cherry Hill and it wasn't too crowded when we went (Sunday ~1:20pm). We ordered the braised beef noodle soup, rice cake with meat, and the original and crab soup dumplings. I preferred the original dumplings more. These soups dumplings are the largest I've ever seen (way bigger than Din Tai Fung) and the spoon they gave us was perfect. The beef noodle soup was okay but not the best I've had before so I would skip it next time. It also only had three slices of beef. I also ordered the mango & lychee green tea and it was delicious! The prices are fairly reasonable; nothing is particularly cheap nor too expensive. The restaurant is big and the bathrooms are very clean. read more

having just been to taiwan last month, i was on the hunt for a delicious xiao long bao (XLB). this place exceeded my expectations! the size of the xlb here is very good, it holds so much soup in the dumpling. i mix together the sauces of the chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce with a bit of the provided ginger and carefully land the xlb onto the sauce, and take a small bite from the top to suck out some of the soup, then take a huge bite of the whole thing when the temperature is right. i found this dumpling to be so amazing, with a chewy skin... you could see them being made fresh in the little window in the back! for a side, we absolutely loved the bok choy in garlic sauce. it was cooked in chicken broth or something i believe, with a light flavor and nicely cooked pieces of mild garlic. the bok choy had a great texture. this place boasts a michelin star and i can see why they have it in the first place -- a commitment to quality and great flavor! xlb here is amazing,, will have to come once more before i leave home for the west coast :} read more

I came around 11:30 AM on a Saturday and there weren't that many people there. I was able to be seated immediately and my server was so attentive (as well as the rest of the staff here), they took such good care of me! I had the chicken & shrimp siu mai, which was the absolute favorite, it had so much flavor and it needed no help from soy sauce or the chili oil, it was a standout dish for me. I also had the nan xiang soup dumplings, which were incredibly juicy and flavorful. I will admit there was a little too much dough to meat ratio, but probably to hold all that soup! Finally, I had the boiled shrimp, pork and chive dumplings. Again, incredible flavor and taste. I will say here that the dough to meat ratio was off, the dough was incredibly thick. That being said, you can tell it's homemade by the way it's made and the way it tastes. The dough tastes exactly like my dad's dumplings! For the quality and the portions, I thought it was very fairly priced. Overall, I can't wait to come back! read more

Pretty much the exact same food as the one in Manhattan...so, pretty damn good! All the soup dumplings were great! All of the side dishes were great! The ube dessert dumplings, however, left much to be desired -- just doughy and bland. The service wasn't great, though. Our waiter was friendly, but he came by only once after our food was served, and it took ages to flag him down to order dessert and then ages more to get the bill. But overall a good experience. I'll be back for more soup dumplings. read more

Hands down the BEST Xiaolongbao ever including the over rated Din Tai Fung! The other dish which may even edge out the Xiaolongbao was the black pepper beef. It had great flavor and the beef was so tender without being weird, for those who go to Chinese restaurants know what I'm talking about. We also had the crispy noodles with seafood and the Shanghai siu mai which I would not recommend because it was mostly glutinous rice. Even though it was a miss everything else was fantastic including the service! Definitely will be back! read more

We came in right before closing and the team still welcomed us without hesitation -- that kind of hospitality deserves recognition (and yes, a solid 30% tip). Despite the late hour, every dish came out fresh and full of flavor. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup had a deep, rich broth with tender cuts of beef, and the Shrimp & Veg Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce hit the perfect balance of creamy, nutty, and spicy. The Beef Tripe in Spicy Sauce and Shredded Pig Ear were bold, texturally satisfying starters that stayed true to authentic northern Chinese flavors. Service stayed attentive without rushing us, and the modern, clean dining room still looked sharp even after hours. It's rare to see a kitchen go the extra mile this close to closing -- they absolutely earned this review.

If you're looking for a place to get a bunch of decent XLB, Nan Xiang has your back. My guest LOVES soup dumplings and is always eager to try a new place. We agreed that the soup inside was well portioned, the dumpling wrapper steamed nicely, and the filling was a nice textural contrast; however, we both wish there was a little more development in the overall taste but that's our preferences in the way! the restaurant is spacious, well lit, and has plenty of parking in the massive shopping complex. The kitchen where the dumplings are made has a huge window for spectators to view the process. Service is very nice and quick! I'm always down to go here with a large group cause it's fun! read more
