Always excellent, and the inside is spotless too. I recommend the soup, dumplings, shrimp. And anything from the dim sum menu read more

I hate to say the express locations don't really hit the same. I wouldn't come with more than 4 people max - seating is maybe possible for 4-5 parties of 4 with some bar seating. There is an enclosed "backyard" space that fit our party of 6 luckily. The best thing was the spicy pork and shrimp wontons. Everything is about $10 each. The soup dumplings didn't have much flavor for me, and the noodles were a bit soggy. Everything came quickly and the staff was nice. But I wish the food was a little better. Also the app with the loyalty program is confusing because apparently it's location specific, and I couldn't redeem my reward here, they said only the downtown Brooklyn location which is weird because there's no way to tell that on the app, and then would earning points here even be possible? How can they make that distinction? read more

Stopped by to try out their soup dumplings, and honestly they really hit the spot. I only ordered a set of crab/pork soup dumplings because I had just eaten at another place earlier, otherwise I would have probably ordered another couple options. It's really good bang for your buck, and the store is deceptively pretty big so there's a lot of space. I liked the vibe of this store, the employees really seem to care about it, unlike other restaurants where they don't really put any effort. It's clean, well serviced, and the soup dumplings are great. Protip: you gotta use the chili flake/oil condiments with the vinegar to maximize the deliciousness! read more

Nan Xiang Express - Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great ambience and bathroom inside! Got the chicken rice and lemon tea. Looking forward to going again.

I'm updating my review as I think it's fair, one bad experience shouldn't be a defining one. I have a bit to share: I think that this place may be better in person. The reason I say that is because I've gotten this via takeout multiple times now, because I really loved the flavor of the chicken soup dumplings in the first go. The quality of the food is excellent, I also really enjoy their spicy beef dumplings and the melon tea. The stirfry noodles have a little bit too much wood ear for my taste. I've also gotten some other things and their spring rolls are really divine, the sauce is just spicy enough to numb the tongue just a tad. I will still say that I find this slightly overpriced. The presentation is still beautiful, which has a price add, but if my total's over $60 for four items, that's about $15 each, it's too high for me. I'm comfortable when it averages closer to $10-$12 per item for delivery. read more

I'm a big fan of soup dumplings, and was excited to visit. I wish I could go 5 stars. The staff were friendly, and the price was super affordable (especially for Williamsburg!). But what I got just wasn't that good. I got a pork dumpling. It was served swimming in chili oil (way too much oil... it would have been much better if the oil were on the side). And the dough of the dumpling was sort of grainy. I may try it again and try something else on the menu. read more

I'm so thankful for this restaurant that was open til 2am the night we visited. It was a rainy night and we were starving and craving asian food. I wasn't expecting to find this gem. The dishes are all reasonably priced, they served generous portions, and all the entrees we chose were delicious. Check out the pics. I highly recommend eating here any time of day. Friendly staff, clean environment and delicious eats. read more

Nan Xiang Express - XLB and wontons in chilli oil - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wanted some Shanghai noodles so badly and stumbled across Nan Xiang Express. I didn't realize it was a chain restaurant until one of my orders was accidentally sent to Downtown Brooklyn. I ordered so much food on Ubereats before arriving to pick it up. I didn't realize I'd get such a large amount of food. I spent $49 total and it was worth every penny. Soup dumplings were so good and juicy. I ate it at home with my sister and it didn't disappoint. She loved all of the food as well. They even gave us the adorable soup spoons and wooden chop-sticks. The pork noodles were Devine. Honestly it filled me up so fast because it came with such a large amount. The Bokchoy inside the noodles were cooked perfectly and so was the pork. Chefs kiss! I barely had time to devour the other items I purchased. My all time favorite was the beef scallion pancakes. My goodness the beef with sauce, veggie crunch and crispiness of the pancakes were phenomenal, seriously 10/10 I also had the pork Bao buns fried at the bottom, it was so delicious and poofy just as I expected it to be with the small bottom crunch adding to the texture. The chili oil is not too spicy and packed the perfect heat paired with all my food. I really loved everything and will be coming back often. PS- The Passionfruit lime tea is DELICIOUS read more

Always good, open late, authentic. Service is attentive and not overbearing. Clean and relaxing ambiance.

Came here on the weekend for lunch with a large group so they seated us in their "indoor" backyard area which was really cute. It was not busy at all when we were there, but I assume most people got food to go. It's especially convenient with the kiosk in the front to order. Food: - Pork Soup Dumplings - Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings: I usually order pork so this was interesting to try. It's not too spicy but does have a kick. - Crispy Bottom Buns with pork filling: dough to filling ratio could be better. - Wonton in Spicy Peanut Sauce - Cucumber Salad with Garlic Vinaigrette: surprisingly good! - Shanghai Stir-fried Noodles with Pork - Nan Xiang Fried Rice: Personally didn't care for this, but I know some people NEED to have rice with their meals. I really wanted to try their Spicy Beef Tendon & Tripe Salad, but I did not see it on their menu in person. Overall, this place is very solid for a fast casual restaurant. read more

Welcome to New York City, it's time to get into some great eating! So on tap for dinner this time around came a rather unexpected find on my Yelp map! So last time, I was able to make a reservation to another restaurant in Brooklyn before going to dance. This time however, I was checking into my hotel at 7:30, so I needed something a bit quicker but still exceptional dining as I would only have two hours to even get ready to go to the Avant Gardner. Enter Nan Xiang Express, a soup dumpling joint in Williamsburg that apparently has a menu item that is Michelin-worthy. Yep! I had actually read somewhere that the Pork Soup Dumplings are so good that they are worthy of a Michelin star! Well then, I had to try them out, and I did that in the simplest way possible. By ordering the combo that comes along with it! So in addition to the dumplings, two veggie spring rolls and a soy milk (hot or iced) comes along in the meal. I opted take-out so I could just eat at the Pod (the hotel I was staying at this time around). I chose the cold soy milk because I felt like for soy milk cold would be a better fit. Before I got my order and left though, I decided to take pictures of the interior because it was quite fascinating for how small this place was. If you choose to stay in, you can find a tutorial on the wall on how to eat soup dumplings. Of course, I had to just figure it out on my own (more on that in a bit). They do have a backroom you can take your food to if you wanna eat there, and the garden theme is next level stuff. Okay, so back at the Pod, it's time to eat! I'm gonna start by saying that the soy milk was actually really good to have, and soy milk isn't quite what my first choice of milk would be if we're being honest. It helps cool off some of the spicier dipping sauces you are given like the chili oil. And it was tasty. The spring rolls were another hit, and the sauce it came with brought it out even more. The pastry was crispy and delightful. A win in every sense of the word. Now we move on to the dumplings, and for these, you're given a spoon to hold your dumpling in and a pair of chopsticks. I was a total pro at eating with chopsticks, and by total pro, I mean that I completely fail at it. If the chopstick police saw me eating my dumplings the way I did, I would be locked up with the key thrown away and eaten by a tiger. But boy oh boy was it worth it! You get soy sauce and the chili oil to dump the dumplings into, and the soup inside is really good. An herbal symphony dancing in your taste buds like it's the last night of its life! The pork was succulent, and the way it was steamed when it was made makes the dish a heaven on earth! And yeah, these dumplings made me thankful my hotel had a lounge area because eating them in my booked room would have gone terribly! Seriously, if are in Williamsburg and want some Dim Sum, give this place a try! It rules! read more

A must-visit for anyone craving authentic and perfectly crafted soup dumplings. Their dumplings live up to the hype - the thin, delicate wrappers hold light broth and filling that's hard to get right. The restaurant itself is spotless with a clean and inviting interior. Bonus tip: for soup dumpling newbies, there's a helpful poster inside showing you how to eat them step by step - super handy. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth dining experience. If you're in the area, this is a spot you can't miss! -AT read more

Nan Xiang Express - A1 Pork Soup Dumplings(6pc) - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food service was fast and ready. Drinks are sweet. Ask for 50% sweet if you don't like your drink too sweet. The summer combos are a great deal. The soup dumplings were really good all around. The dumpling skin was nice and soft. You could tell it was freshly made. The cucumber salad was so tasty, had a perfect crunch with a hint of garlic. The braised beef was nice and tender with a generous amount. The noodles however were mediocre. The soup was flavorful but too oily. The back room is a whole vibe with the ambiance. read more

Clean little place in Williamsburg for your soup dumpling cravings. The cashier in the front was helpful and guided me in my indecisiveness.

Can your chains set you free? I'm not sure. I don't know you. But Nan Xiang has several locations throughout the city, and I'm always free to eat here. Love the shredded beef and pepper noodles. And the dumplings. The buns are good too! Express interest Available here and there Or everywhere read more

Great food! Great service love it a lot, come check it out nice very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Came here hungry after ice skating in Domino Park. Soup dumplings did the trick--so yummy!

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
