There was a lot of hype surrounding this place, so we came to check it out ourselves. We came here early on a Sunday evening. Outside was sort of warm, but inside was freezing cold. Let's just say that, it was cooler than other restaurants tend to be. Jiang Nan is a franchise that achieved Michelin guide status in other cities, but I feel as if even if they achieved it in the guide elsewhere it might not be the same result here. Jiang Nan is going for the high class of Chinese food, which for sure I have nothing against. But, there's just something about it that to me they just came out to be just okay. The service was great, they were very accommodating with everything. What lacked for me was the food. Let's see what I got. 1. Half peking duck - If you bought the full one, they'll pull out all the stops and slice it in front of your table. However, due to the cold temperatures of the restaurant, your food comes out hot, and very quickly that heat of the food is now cold. So you might see some fat there condense and well, it doesn't look so great after that. 2. Vegetable Stir Fried Udon Noodles - Same goes with the noodles. Came out hot, later on went cold. 3. Green Beans - Temperature on this one didn't matter too much. I thought it was plenty flavorful and this dish is always a delight. Went well with rice. 4. Whole fried fish/stew - Whole fried fish, but then rested in a broth that was mediocre. I thought there would be more flavor but it felt really melted down. I think it could have been the oil. However, it wasn't bad, just not what I expected. 5. Order of XLB - Didn't eat because it tasted chemically and I believe the meat was bad on the XLB. However, from the look of it the skin was very thick so keep that in mind that these XLB aren't really skin skinned. Plus, it got cold pretty quickly. Overall, Jiang Nan was alright. I don't see myself coming back. Chinese food should cost more especially for courses that take so much work to make. I think they put more emphasis on the place being upscale and also service. So, if you're looking for the face of it as far as being to shell out for service and okay food, this place could definitely be a place to check out.

TLDR: Food is strived to be healthy so quite plain, portion is small while attempting to be "fine" dining. Some dishes are better than others while many dishes are mediocre. Our family stopped by for lunch and it was fairly quiet. The place is designed to be "fine" dining. We tried the following dishes (in no particular order) : -Whole peking duck, while the advertise picture shows this nice brown/golden crispy skin, what came to our table is not the same. The fire show and the cutting at the table is entertaining though. The duck is served with Mandarin pancake wrap. 6/10 since it was dry and the skin was not crispy enough. We chose the salt and paper duck bone as the second dish. -Deep fried Japanese tofu with mixed seafood sizzling plate was good because the tofu was perfectly fried with crispy skin and still soft inside. But the seafood topping was sad to look at. 5/10 -Braised beef flank with potatoes is probably the only dish that was seasoned well. The beef is tender. I enjoyed this one. 7/10 -Chicken and fish maw soup is quite refreshing and light. 7/10 -Walnut shrimp - lightly fried and was plain, but only 8 shrimps for the order. 5/10 -Salty egg yolk prawn - I think there was 7 prawns. The coating is light and salty. Ohh the second seasoned dish. 5/10 -Sautee tofu with crab meat - the crab meat sauce was too much, but not well seasoned. It was just very buttery. 3/10 -Chili Wonton - 4/10 filling was underwhelming and sauce wad the peanut sauce version. -beef fried rice - 1/10 not it was quite plain. Like some thing you put together with your leftover rice.

We came here for my friends birthday party as a group of 13 and they got us a reservation at the spacious VIP table that comfortably fit all of us. Our server, Air, was super friendly and helpful. We ordered ALOT of food. I'll go over the dishes I did not like first. Pekin Duck: table side presentation was nice, but for the price was not really worth it IMO. The addition of pineapple was an interesting take. Deep fried eel with dried chili: eel was a bit on dry side as well as salty. Not my favorite. Fried chicken with dough twists: the chicken was over salted but the dough twists were sweet? Would not recommend. Every other dish we ordered was so so good. My top favorites were the salted egg yolk tiger prawns, the honey walnut crispy shrimp, and smoke pork neck. Overall it was a unique upscale Chinese dining experience, delicious food, friendly service, and beautiful atmosphere. I definitely recommend coming with a larger group to try more dishes!

Honestly disappointed with the mediocre dishes. Everything we tried was either too sweet, too oily or just flat out flavorless. Best dish was probably pea sprouts. For a place that is priced premium, I expected a lot better. Food - 3/5 Service - 4/5 Ambience - 4/5

The food was very delicious and the service was excellent. Prices seem a bit high but I would come back to eat here and try other things on the menu because everything tastes SO good and the place was so clean. Once they start serving alcohol I cannot wait to try the cocktails because their no alcoholic beverages were delicious.

This is a very mid restaurant overall and definitely not worth the prices on its menu. The braised beef and marinated fish were both decent, but the golden broth beef was not good. There was no one there on a Friday night, which is telling enough of what people think of it. I don't think I would come around again.

I dined at Jiang Nan on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 6 pm. There's no authentic Peking duck place where I currently live, so I was excited to try out this place when I heard and saw that the Peking Duck looked very similar to the famous Peking Duck Gourmet in Falls Church, VA, where I had my first fond memories of eating Peking duck. Besides the somewhat chaotic vibe from the service, the ambience was nice with the unique interior design and warmly lit dining area. Starting with the Peking Duck, I thought it was pretty good in terms of presentation and flavor. This is the type of establishment I would expect the duck to be carved table-side, but it's not a deal breaker. So it was such a slight disappointment it didn't happen. However, the duck was still tender with crispy skin, the two quintessential qualities to an authentic and proper Peking duck. Other food items I especially enjoyed were the stir-fried string beans and the soup dumplings. The string beans had such a nice aroma and made nice complementary side dish. The soup dumplings were a bit dry, but flavorful. I wish it had a bit more soup. The seafood fried rice looked simple and maybe a bit reminiscent of one would expect from a Chinese buffet, but it tasted well seasoned and moist. Jiang Nan also offers exceptional service when available. They were excellent in explaining the menu and making good recommendations, refilling waters and side pickles. There were a lot of items on the menu I look forward to trying in the future!

Metro Atlanta's Newest Michelin Guide Recommended Chinese Fine Dining The duck carving service is an entire tableside vibe. I felt like I was at a posh restaurant back in China. Definitely a must-try experience. Touch pad ordering system with prices clearly listed. There are so many more dishes that I will visit again to try. I was shocked at how delicious and fresh their vegetable dishes are, and how affordable. Definitely need to return to try them all. 1 Soup Dumplings - Xiaolongbao , XLB many flavors offered. 2 Seafood Udon Noodles 3 Whole Duck - This is their famous dish and a must try. 4 Lamb Kebab 串 ＆ Flaming Lamb 5 Pineapple Beer 7 Chili Shrimp & Crispy Chicken 8 Spicy Shredded Potato 9 Tang Sui dessert

Jan. 18, 2025 Everything was really good but I was a tad disappointed with the amount of portion for the Peking duck. It was a small amount and I thought they would actually cut the whole duck in front of you, but they didn't. Other than that, their seafood fried rice and stir fry green beans were delicious. The pork soup dumplings and crab dumplings were good as well.

This place had just opened up, so I was expecting a wait. It was about a 40 minute wait, so we put our names down on the iPad and walked around Teso next door to kill some time. Our time is up, so we get seated at the table, and we were explained their ordering system with the iPad. Definitely a different method, since not many restaurants do that in the Duluth area. This place was Michelin recommended so we definitely had high expectations. My group was only 3 people, so we couldn't order a lot since we can only eat so much at a time. They are known for the soup dumplings and pecking duck. Didn't try the pecking duck, but we did try 2 of the soup dumpling options: regular pork and the pork and crab meat. The crab meat one had more soup to it, which is what I am looking for in a soup dumpling. Maybe don't let it sit out for too long before the wrapping soaks it up? lol. Best I've had so far in Georgia. Everything is on the high end in terms of price, but food was good. I would love to come back and order something different on the menu. It was a lot to look at.

Jiang Nan is a recent opened chinese fusion restaurant. They were on 2022 Michelin Recommended List and the Duluth location upholds that reputation. Walking in, you can see they put a lot of effort into their decor. The walls are beautiful, the painting and lighting compliments the luxurious roofing and not only that, each table is disinfected and extremely clean! From entry to being seated, all of the employees and servers were attentive and kind. They are also extremely knowledgeable and friendly as well too! Our server took her time explaining the ordering process and the food came out relatively quick. Not only that, the servers check up on you every 5-10 minutes in case if you have any requests or questions. Food wise, EACH dish ranges from $15-$88. So definitely on the pricier end. However the experience and the quality of the food makes the visit 100% worth it.
