Anna was lovely and very helpful. She was informative about what was safe for my gluten allergy.

The service was great. The ambiance was good. The food was good. Only caveat is that we are intimately familiar with Asian food, so we were expecting more. But we would still eat there again. 100%. read more

I've been meaning to try this location ever since I had heard Nan Xiang had a location in Connecticut. I have had a prior experience with Nan Xiang before when I went to their Express stop located in Williamsburg back in December of 2024, and that night did make me want to try more Nan Xiang. Today ended up being the perfect opportunity to try it, even though I didn't really get to have the full restaurant experience. The food item my order today had in common with what I had from the Williamsburg location were the signature Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. In both locations these are very good soup dumplings. The one thing I will say I wish I had gotten to see was a guide on how to eat these dumplings. If you can have that in your Express locations, one would assume we could get the same thing here. If you're like me and suck at using chopsticks, how are we supposed to eat these properly? Maybe they might have something for those who were able to stay and eat, but because I had to get to a doctor's appointment (lower back problems) and grabbed this on the way, that was not in the cards. But the ambiance is classy and looks very upscale. Definitely a very inviting place to have some dim sum, and Nan Xiang was the business that warmed me up to dim sum, so I would like to come back here one day when I am in much less of a time crunch. The beautiful decorations are also worth coming back for. I especially loved the dragon that was watching TV from the bar. #DrinksWithDragons Another food item that would make me want to return was the other thing I ordered today, which were the cheese and shrimp fried potstickers. That soy sauce that came with it was banging out the frame, but even the first bite where I just had the potsticker by itself was divine. Seriously, I could eat these all day and I would be satisfied. The cheese and shrimp come together so well in a symphony of umami goodness. Also, the customer service left a good first impression as well. Even though it was 100 degrees outside, they allowed me to wait on a bench while they made my order. I even got to watch a rerun of the USA's win over Bosnia at the World Cup where the US got their 2nd goal despite being down a man from a red card. Also, if you order online, you could even have your food ready well before the time it tells you on your receipt. I was supposed to have mine ready between 1:36-41 and mine was good to go at about 1:15. I'd love to come to this spot again. Maybe if I have a free day or evening when I don't have anything to do I'll stop by. read more

I've been a longtime Nan Xiang customer, and I'm really impressed with their brand-new online ordering and rewards system. The new platform is much faster, easier to use, and more convenient than before. Ordering directly through their website is seamless, and I love that every purchase earns reward points that can be redeemed for future visits. The new membership program also offers exclusive promotions and special perks that make dining here even more enjoyable. Most importantly, ordering direct means the order goes straight to the restaurant, helping ensure accuracy and supporting the business without third-party app fees. The food is always excellent, especially the Signature Pork Soup Dumplings and Black Truffle Soup Dumplings. If you're ordering from Stamford, definitely try the new online ordering system and join the rewards program--you'll be glad you did! More points, more rewards! read more

Kiara was our waitress and she was very helpful and polite. The food was excellent. I tried chicken soup dumplings for the first time and I really enjoyed them! The chicken spring rolls were delicious, too. I had the chicken fried udon with extra vegetables for my entree, and it was so good. I had leftovers and those were even better the second day. The restaurant feels spacious, and it has a lovely atmosphere without being pretentious. I wanted to return the next day! Five stars. read more

I was excited to try this place given all the rave reviews, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. We started with the pork soup dumplings and steamed chicken dumplings. The options were fairly basic and tasted fresh, though I'm starting to think maybe I'm just not a 'dumpling guy!' The crispy chicken noodles, however, were below par. We tried a few bites but ended up leaving the rest of the dish untouched. If this is what authentic Chinese is supposed to taste like, I think I'll stick to the fusion spots I usually prefer. The ambiance and service were decent--nothing standout, but nothing to complain about either. Overall, I probably won't be back. read more

My wife and I have been coming here almost every day since the soft opening, and the food, service, and ambiance have stayed consistently great. Like any new business, they've had to iron out some logistical growing pains--specifically handling the rush during peak hours--but they're hitting their stride. The space itself is clean, modern, and well-lit with an open dining area and a full-service bar where you can watch the kitchen in action. Plus, parking is a breeze since it's in the Stamford Town Center; it's a massive relief not having to hunt for a spot like you would in Flushing. The outdoor dining area is probably our favorite part of Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. It's perfect because we can bring our fur babies along. This past weekend, we grabbed a spot outside with a group of friends and four pups. The manager and staff were so welcoming to the dogs and even moved two tables together to accommodate our big group. Now, for the food--honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but here are the standouts: * Pan Fried Pork Buns: These are juicy, aromatic, and packed with flavor. * Braised Beef Noodle Soup: This is a must-try. The beef literally melts in your mouth, and the broth is packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. * Sautéed String Beans with Garlic: This is our favorite vegetable dish, though the stir-fried bok choy is also great. The soup dumplings, crispy noodles, and scallion pancakes with beef are all solid choices too. Pro tip: use the mobile app for takeout to earn rewards you can redeem when you dine in. Overall, it's a fantastic addition to Stamford. We'll definitely be back (probably tomorrow). read more

Delicious food. Fast service. Patrick was astute and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Came in for lunch. Overall the service was fine. Really no complaints. It is a modern looking restaurant and comfortable. They have a dining and bar area. I ordered the Shanghai siomai and original soup dumplings. They weren't that great. Overall taste was a bit boring. Sorry, a very honest opinion read more

Yummy!!! Great service, everyone's super friendly and everything came out so quickly. Very spacious and they decorate for holidays, we went around Chinese New Year and it felt so festive :) Love Nan Xiang, they never disappoint for easy homey Chinese food. Always must get soup dumplings, always get the crab and pork but also tried the variety platter and the other flavors were really nice too. The green beans and stir fry noodles are staples and always hit the spot. The wonton soup was also so yummy and cozy. They do everything so well! read more

Stopped by Nan Xiang on a road trip. They have outdoor dining! But the outdoor area was closed. Ordered the soup dumplings, the salty soybean pudding, fried dough and stir fried rice cakes with pork.

Some of the best food I've had in such a long time!! We came in on a Sunday around 7:30PM and were seated immediately. The restaurant is large with tons of space, making it feel very comfortable yet intimate at the same time. We ordered the Nan Xiang soup dumplings, scallion pancake with beef, beef noodle soup, and green beans. Everything was amazing!! The soup dumplings were some of the largest and juiciest dumplings I've ever had. The green beans and scallion pancake with beef were also delicious but don't stand out from other places. The beef noodle soup was also very yummy! The broth was delicious and was exactly what we had been craving, but the noodles were a little off; they were very flour-y yet al dente at the same time, giving us a mixed feeling. Would highly recommend coming here for some good eats, and will definitely be making another visit back! read more

I didn't know this chain existed, but it seemed to be everywhere so we decided to try it! It was really clean and well-designed inside. Very spacious and nice. Service was fairly quick and attentive. The pork & crab xiao long baos were good but not anything better than I've had. They were much bigger than I'm used to with a thicker skin. Overall, flavor was good, but again nothing special. I also got the fish and pickled veggie noodles. They were a bit disappointing (not much flavor and presentation was a little sad even though it should be a very vibrant, flavorful dish)! Overall, a decent more formal Chinese chain restaurant. read more

I have been searching for a hot and sour soup to rival Lee How Fook in Philadelphia (Cantonese and excellent) for 25 years. Walking into Nan Xiang is a callback to busy soup dumpling places from Hong Kong. Despite being located in the Stamford Mall adjacent, Nan Xiang is testament to the Michelin recommendation. The scallion pancakes are light and perfectly cooked. The crispy chili chicken is reminiscent of chicken with chili dishes from Beijing without quite as much chili. The hot and sour soup is absolutely incredible for $5.95 and plenty for four people as an appetizer. Seven was an excellent server being both friendly and genuine. The food came quickly. I was impressed by the numbers of service support staff and the efficiency. Not only will I be going back but am already effusively promoting Nan Xiang to whomever will listen. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday a special one. (She is quiet and did not want the attention of being sung to, but reveled in the experience anyway.) read more

Came here for first time on my bday and it was wonderful. Our waiter Matthew was so sweet and funny and made the experience great! We tried the KaoFu cold all (amazing) and the scallion noodle dish to start (also SO good) and the the veggie dumplings and chicken dumplings for our meal. The apps were SO GOOD- cravable and delicious! Veggie dumplings were good- wish a diff variety of veggies but still good. The chicken dumplings that my friend had were THE BEST soup dumplings she ever had- and she's tried all of them, from Chef Jiang up in Farmington to Costco and Trader Joe's etc. (she likes the trader Joe ones next best fyi) The waiter found out it was my bday and gave us dessert on the house- it's served by that robot thing and it even sings happy bday haha it was very special and a great meal. Cannot wait to go back and try more! read more

Plenty of seating on a Wednesday evening for our group. We thought everything on the menu was excellent (both quality and portion size for the price point). Service was speedy, so appreciate the front/back of house staff. Favorites were the crab and pork soup dumplings, stir-fried udon, and the green beans. Would probably not order the sweet and sour spare ribs again to keep the table clean, but they were great to try and share! Will definitely be back to try more of the extensive menu! read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - There work - Dim Sum Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I'll be honest. It's hard to be objective when a restaurant offers colorful soup dumplings. They look so cool. We ordered the Lucky 6 Dumplings from the Stamford location of this famous spot from Flushing. One green. One red. One yellow. One charcoal. And two others are the natural tan sort of color you expect. We also ordered Pan Fried Udon with chicken, Pork and Truffle Dumplings and Pan Fried Pork Buns. The dumplings were good, except for the Pork and Truffle dumplings which were very good. All of the dumplings were a bit heavier than some of the dumplings I've had. Notwithstanding the shock and awe of the colorful dumplings, I think they were more or less on par with most places where I've had dumplings, except for the subtle truffle flavor of the Pork and Truffle one, which was delicious. A surprise nice order from my son (he probably thought it was a chocolate truffle. LOL) The udon was nice and chewy, The chicken was cut into strands as well. It could have had a bit more presence. I enjoyed the texture of the Pan Fried Pork Bun. The inside was tasty too. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere. It felt more like a San Francisco vibe. Service was friendly and efficient. 4 Stars read more

so happy to have finally tried this spot!!! The inside is visually stunning and very modern. We came during lunch and ordered their Pan Fried Pork Buns to start and let me tell you, this is a must try!! They were so juicy, pillowey and crispy and the same time and my fiance and I fought over the last one it was that good! We decided to try something completely new and got their Chicken Crispy Noodles which are actually noodles fried so it's crispy when arrived but they start to soften as the sauce melts into them. Different and delicious! And we just had to try their Lucky 6 Soup Dumplings - the Black Truffle and Pork ones were my favorite and each flavor was truly unique. We also tried their limited time Mala Soup Dumplings and were impressed! read more

Huge place, 300 seats. If there is a wait, it's not for long. 4.5 stars We have been a few times and loved every type of dumpling we ordered. The drinks are overpriced but good. Some entrees are too sweet such as the crispy flounder. We tried the Chili chicken on a different visit... We expected Sichuan style but we were disappointed in the Shanghai preparation. Noodle dishes were excellent although a bit oily. The Ube dessert with the red bean inside was really bland, avoid this. A native Chinese person can be satisfied with the authenticity of this place. read more

You men to tell me you can get world class soup dumplings in CT? Yes. Yes you can. We stopped by for lunch and were blown away with how good the truffle and pork ones were. Fresh and full of flavorful broth these were everything you'd want in a soup dumpling. The pork buns were delish too and we really enjoyed the rest of our dishes including the udon noodles. Just a home run. Meaning run to eat these before you go home. read more

This place keeps kicking up. This was a great start on a Sunday. What top this to 5 stars was the wonderful waitress service. She was professional and knew how to small chat and got the food out timely. Always with a smile & supplied us with anything we needed. And at the end we took care of her and I told her we appreciate her service! Nan Xiang you guys are rocking it! Oh, as for the food - we ordered 4 steamed soup dumplings (crab and pork), 2 fried dumplings (pork and the bun), sui mai , beef noodle soup, stir fried noodle with beef, Shanghia noodle with beef, pigs ear and kau fu. SO FRESHHHHH. You can watch the kitchen staffers making the fresh dumplings through their glass window - NICE TOUCH! read more

The opening of Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings in Stamford was very exciting as the restaurant had gained a Michelin Guide/Star mention for their food! The waitress was great and helpful in providing recommendations. If you're going for the first time, I recommend you try the Lucky Six Soup Dumplings which includes a variety of dumplings with different fillings. That way you are able to sample something different. They have a large array of soup dumplings and it's what they're known for but you can also dine on noodles, cold dishes, and more. The establishment has a more of a modern feel and even feature little robots servers who bring food to some of the tables. The restaurant is attached for the Stamford mall and there is plenty of parking in the garage with easy walking access to the restaurant. read more

One of my favorite Asian restaurants ever! The sticky buns are a must try! The dumpling soups are great options as well.

We made reservations for a Friday evening and were immediately greeted and promptly seated upon arrival. The place was pretty full and all of the dishes on the tables we passed by looked wonderful. There is also a view into the kitchen to watch staff expertly make the soup dumplings non stop. We ordered the Lucky Six soup dumplings, a sample of their soup dumpling offerings, and also an order of the traditional pork filled soup dumplings. We also ordered the scallion pancake with beef, and pork and veggie wonton with spicy peanut sauce. The waiter showed us how to mix the vinegar and soy sauce in the small dish with ginger to use for our dumplings (chili oil too available for those who want it), instructing us to bite a bit off the top and then spoon in the mixture and eat! All of the dumplings tasted fantastic, with my favorite being the crab and pork. We are partial to a soup dumpling place in NYC we frequent and these were just as good, if not better. The wontons in spicy peanut sauce were also delectable with great textures and flavors. They were not overwhelmingly spicy. The scallion pancake with beef was crispy, but the beef was tender, with an almost sweet tasting sauce. It definitely rivaled our favorite scallion pancake in Cinatown, NY. Our waiter was attentive and didn't miss a beat, and all other staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The place is well lit and kept clean, including the restrooms. Parking in mall parking lot for $1 and hour, or on street parking where you can find it. We very much enjoyed our dining experience and highly recommend. read more

This was my second time at Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings in Stamford, and I had to bring my boyfriend so he could finally try the place I've been raving about. The soup dumplings are seriously that good, super brothy, and full of flavor. The vibe there is really lively and trendy, and this time the bar was open. The place was packed, so instead of waiting for a table, we just grabbed seats at the bar, which ended up being perfect. Michael and Bruce were behind the bar, and they were awesome, super friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. They honestly made the night even better. We split an order of the chicken soup dumplings (still just as amazing as I remembered) and the Shanghai sweet and sour spareribs, which were solid. For mains, we each got a soup. I went with the beef and shredded pepper noodle soup, expecting more spice. The beef was kind of like what you'd get in a beef and broccoli dish, which wasn't really my thing, so I didn't finish it. To mix it up, I also got the passion fruit and lime green tea, which was super refreshing. They use actual slices of fresh fruit, and it makes a huge difference. Even though I wasn't crazy about the beef in my soup, I'll definitely be back. There's always something new to try, and those soup dumplings are hands-down the best around. Already looking forward to round three! read more

We got takeout from here and it was so delicious so I can't even imagine how good it is to dine in!! The mushrooms were great and I loved the rice cake texture although it wasn't the most flavorful. The dumplings were amazinggg I loved the pork and shrimp and the pork truffle. Can't wait to dine in person to get the full experience! read more

I decided to finally try this place and went with delivery. The food arrived, but unfortunately it was only warm, not hot, which took away from the experience a bit. I wanted to order a variety of dumplings, but they do not allow mixed orders, so I ended up getting only the pork dumplings. It was my first time ever having dumplings, let alone soup dumplings, so the flavor was a unique experience. Overall, they were pretty good. I was not a fan of their soy sauce, but the dumplings themselves were solid. Six dumplings for $13 seems like a fair price. I would order from here again, and there are definitely a few other items I want to try. Next time though, I'll probably eat at the restaurant so I can get everything hot and fresh. read more

Was super excited to hear that Nan Xiang soup dumplings opened in Stamford and it looked nice and new when we arrived! We got the xiao long baos, the pan fried dumplings which we actually thought was better than the soup dumplings, and also the scallion noodles and the spicy dumplings. I was pretty disappointed by the xiao long baos, with pretty thick skin but I did enjoy their other two dumplings we got. It was overall still an enjoyable meal but I now know I will try some of their other dishes next time instead of the soup dumplings! read more

Welcome to Stamford, Connecticut, Nan Xiang! This is a much-needed addition to really boost the struggling Asian eatery options in the local area. Peter Chang coming to Stamford was a big deal, but they weren't as regionally known here as they were in the DMV area. On the other hand, many locals may already be familiar with Nan Xiang since their humble beginnings as a small shop in Flushing, NY. They've done a great job updating the inside - it's much brighter and more welcoming than when it was Kona Grill. The first thing I noticed however was the tight entrance. There's not much of a waiting area, and it can get pretty crowded with people waiting for tables, picking up orders, and Uber Eats drivers all sharing the same small space. Our visit on a busy Sunday afternoon confirmed that things move pretty fast here; you'll see servers and food runners constantly running in and out, bringing out dishes as soon as they're ready. Don't expect long conversations with your server or be surprised if your "entrees" come out before your drinks or appetizers. In other words, come here for the food and not the service. While the smoothness of service may improve over time once they've gotten everything together, I wouldn't expect this to become the Capital Grille of Asian restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed their classic appetizers: the chicken in wine sauce and beef tripe in spicy sauce were both perfectly executed. Despite our reservations, others encouraged us to try the house special fried rice, which unfortunately turned out to be bland and the weakest dish of our meal. The braised beef noodle soup was decent. While the noodles had a perfect texture, the beef pieces lacked tenderness, and the broth, though flavorful, missed the complexity and deep "beefy flavors" typically achieved through hours of stewing. However, this is understandable as it's not their specialty. The undisputed highlight, of course, was their signature pork soup dumplings. These were outstanding, boasting flavorful fillings and a delicate, resilient skin. While the meat filling could perhaps be marginally improved, these are likely some of the best you'll find in Connecticut. With its expansive menu and reasonable prices, you're sure to find something that appeals to you. I highly recommend their signature dim sum and appetizers, and even encourage you to explore their classic breakfast options, despite their current limited selection. I'm personally desperate for a dedicated Asian breakfast spot in Connecticut! Currently, their full bar and outdoor seating area remain unused, and I'm interested to see how they plan to effectively utilize those spaces moving forward. While I don't anticipate it becoming the lively drink destination like it was during the Kona Grill days, the availability of alcoholic beverages alongside the meal would undoubtedly elevate the overall experience. With so many restaurants coming and going in this location - like Kona Grill, California Pizza Kitchen, Plan B, Pieology, PF Chang's, The Cheesecake Factory, and now unfortunately Peter Chang - I truly hope Nan Xiang breaks the cycle and is here to stay! read more

My favorite soup dumpling spot! Great for meeting with friends or getting takeout on a weekend. Lots of vegan options too.

We were so excited this finally opened!! We have been waiting for months. We came during soft opening week and was amazed that we were in and out within an hour!! Everything we ordered was delicious except for the crispy seafood noodles which had no taste at all. We ordered: - beef noodle soup which is supposed to be mildly spicy but it was mild enough that the kids didn't even notice! - signature soup dumplings - rainbow soup dumplings - fried dough - cold soy milk - scallion pancakes - crispy seafood noodles We enjoyed it all except for the crispy noodles. And hubby has asked 4 times already when we are going back!! So excited that we now have a great Chinese place in Stamford!! read more

Happy to see soup dumplings in Stamford. However i'll only order soup dumplings if i come here again, just because it's closer than going to flushing or nyc. Soup dumplings is authentic of course but not the best. Crab soup dumplings has little crab, not that of strong flavor. Pan fried pork bun 生煎包 is more like taking out from pre-made package pork bun, steam it and just pan fried the bottom. Not authentic, taste like instant food. The bun is made by machine because the way it folds, disappointed at this dish. The Shanghai stir fried noodles, noodles itself is overcooked (boiled too long) before stir fried. The sauce a but sticky, usually restaurant just stir fried with soy sauce which is already good enough. I personally don't like the stickyness and over cooked noodles. Mild flavor not salty which is good. Soybean drink lack of soybean taste and it's thick in a weird way. Didn't finish it. Overall, comfortable nice seating, hope the quality will improve because the one in flushing had very bad services and dropping food quality after renovations. I had been going there for a decade. I had high hope in this one. I haven't been to mall for a long time because i thought the mall is kinda dead. Parking is easy, i just didn't know the parking meter don't give change (until after i paid i saw the sticker) i was rushing, put in $5 for 2 hours and realized they wont give back change anymore. That's something new, be aware, use credit card or exactly change. read more

Really glad we stopped by. Wife and I were wanting a good noodle soup. Upon looking at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to see how many options they had, despite being known for their soup dumplings. If you're new to the area, parking can be tricky. I would use the shopping plaza garage. That's your easiest route. On street is possible, but unlikely due to the small amount of spaces available. Inside was nice, clean, and welcoming. We were seated immediately, and within less than a minute, someone came by to ask us for our drink order. We tried two of their teas (comes out like a boba tea minus the boba). Our food order was then taken, and then it felt like almost immediately was brought out. Extremely fast and efficient. The waitress even marked down each time we had an item placed on the table to track what was left. We both tried the beef noodle soup. The broth was very good! Meat was tender, and it was massive! My only drawback was the noodles. They were tasty and perfectly done - just wish they were a rice noodle instead of the more wheat style. They have a cool reward system as well that lets you build up points, so we look forward to going back and trying new things. Overall, really happy we stopped by. read more
