I took my family here for lunch and we absolutely loved it! I have had soup dumplings a lot in my life while my family have not. So they did have a lot of questions and our waitress was very quick to answer. Also, very happy to help. The place felt very warm and welcoming as well. They also have a really cool bar that I went to again later that night. I got the chicken soup dumplings and they were delicious. Everyone else got the 6 dumplings of all the ones they have available. They all said they will be coming back! read more

Hands down these dumplings are incredible and I would get them every day if I could. I got the chicken soup(pictured) and the spicy beef. Both were delicious! The fried rice was okay. I would get it again to go with other food but not as a standalone dish. Got my order to go and it was convenient so I can't speak to the interior of the restaurant other than my experience picking it up. read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings opened a location in Mall of Georgia and I was very excited about trying them after hearing so much about them. I haven't been able to stop by and this time I ordered takeout. I ordered the signature pork soup dumplings, pan-fried pork dumplings, and pan-fried crispy noodles with shredded beef. Unfortunately, the last meal never arrived and I got a seafood meal instead which was very disappointing. As far as the items I did order, they were delicious. The dumplings came with a vinegar dipping sauce that was really good. Even though I ordered takeout the meal was still warm when it arrived thanks to their great packaging. I think overall I was disappointed to get the wrong order on my first impression of them but the dumplings were good so I am willing to give them another try. ESPAÑOL Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings abrió un locación en el Mall of Georgia y estaba muy emocionada de probarlos después de escuchar tanto sobre ellos No he podido pasar y esta vez pedí comida para llevar. Pedí los dumplings de sopa con cerdo, dumplings de cerdo fritas y fideos crujientes fritos con carne desmenuzada. Desafortunadamente, la última comida nunca llegó y en su lugar me mandaron una comida de mariscos, lo cual fue muy decepcionante. En cuanto a los artículos que pedí, estaban deliciosos. Los dumplings venían con una salsa de vinagre que estaba muy buena. A pesar de que pedí comida para llevar, la comida todavía estaba caliente cuando llegó gracias a su excelente empaque. Creo que, en general, me decepcionó el pedido equivocado en mi primera impresión de ellos, pero los dumplings estaban buenos, así que estoy dispuesta a darles otra oportunidad. read more

Quite an experience. Famed dumpling restaurants Buford outpost does not disappoint. There is a wait so try to join the waitlist asap. Stopped by mid Saturday afternoon and waited about 20-30 minutes. Restaurant is efficient and has many options for most diets. I enjoyed the chicken dumpling and green beans the most. Definitely Sharable. Quick service. read more

Waited about 40 minutes for a table for two of us so not bad for a Sunday afternoon. Enjoyed all of the food item we ordered. The udon was delicious and easily shareable. The soup dumplings were also very good and filling. The hot and sour soup had a kick to it and was pretty thick. It was a large portion size but probably our least favorite thing. Service was a big miss- the waitress did not check on us until we were done with our meal. We asked for our check and she just never came back, luckily we were able to wave down someone else so we could pay and leave. read more

Ok this is a Michelin recommended so I had high hopes for this place. Waited about 40 mins but they give you a beeper so we had a drink at the Red Robin across the mall while we waited. A couple of notes, it's literally next to the theater and there is an outside entrance and a mall entrance. They do not have alcohol at least they didn't when we went. They said they didn't have people to work the bar. The feel of the restaurant is very much a mall feel. Like when your in Vegas at a restaurant in a hotel. It lacked personality. To make things worse we're put in a corner table and the area smelled like urine. Like a subway. The theater is next door and not sure if the restaurant was built next to the men's room of the theater. Service was not at all what I would expect for any restaurant let alone a Michelin recommended. They did not even ask if we wanted drinks. We asked what waitress recommended but she didn't have much. We ordered the pan fried dumplings, the seafood udon noodles, the veggie dumplings and pickled cukes. The food came out in reasonable times. The cukes were good, this is a cold side but lacked flavor of some kind. I feel like it needed a little sweetness and acid. Could have used a little salt. The undone noodles looked good but the scallops were so small they were hard to pick up. Again it lacked the pizzazz. A little sweetness and acid. It was lack luster. The pan dumplings were good. The veggie dumplings definitely needed something. All in all for a Michelin recommended it was a disappointment. I'm not sure I would ever go back. It felt very vapid, no personality, flavor and service was poor best. read more

Lovely dining room with lots of servers. We waited 1.5 hours for a table. The dumplings were good, as expected. Not exceptional but definitely on the better side of average. The west lake beef soup was rather bland (no cilantro?) and the fried dough was a bit oily. My husband had the spicy beef and tripe and enjoyed it very much. It is a generous size, bigger than we expected so we ordered way too much food. We also ordered the dry beef and peppers noodles. They were a little spicy and the noodles had very good texture. I'm not sure if we will return as this is really far from us. If you are in the area though, you should definitely check it out. read more

The food we ordered all came so quickly! We got the pork xlb, crab xlb, pork chop noodles, tofu appetizer, hot and sour soup. The noodle texture was really good and I thought the soup was pretty good for a clear soup, could've used a little more pepper but it was salty enough. The pork chop was okay, a little overfried and I didn't like that it came with the bone, it was pretty stuck on the bone type of pork. The hot and sour soup was so good! Perfectly balanced. The tofu appetizer was okay, definitely could've been a little colder than it was and more tofu as it was very celery heavy. The soup dumplings were very flavorful, though the skin was a little too thick for my liking. The top part was hard and thick so after one dumpling I started taking that part off. And maybe due to the placement of the dumplings. They were too close together and would rip once you get one. Overall, the service here was friendly, and fast ! Also the place was so hot for some reason, it felt like there was no ac so it was a very hot experience but overall the ambiance was nice. read more

We got to try out the soft opening of Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings at Mall of Georgia today. Their soup dumplings menu is still limited to only four types for now until their official grand opening on August 3rd. We came around lunch time on a weekday and there was no wait so we were seated right away. Service was fast and friendly. Every server offered to help and check in on us so you didn't have a dedicated server. Prices are much cheaper that DTF. The soup dumplings are around $12-14 for 6. Majority of the appetizers are around $8-10. The larger portion entrees are around $14. Portion size is decent. Now the important part, the food! - Nan Xiang soup dumplings: their signature pork dumplings. Flavor was good but not super memorable. Plenty of soup. - Truffle & pork soup dumplings: Definitely a WOW moment. The umami from the soup was perfect. - Garlic string beans: Good but not memorable. Definitely very disappointing because I still dream about the garlic string beans at DTF so I was hoping this would be close but it wasn't it. - Beef udon: Just ok. Pretty lackluster. - Short ribs: This is a no. Flavors are odd. It's not savory, it's not sweet. It's kinda sour? Texture is just soft. I was expecting a nice char on the outside with a thick sticky sauce and tender in the middle. This was not it. Overall, it was ok. I wished they offered larger spoons to catch all the juice when you pierce through the dumpling. The skin is thicker than I would like so I find the soup dumplings at DTF to be much better. None of the other items we got really impressed me. I will say it's definitely one of the better soup dumplings in Atlanta area so worth trying out if you're in the area but I personally wouldn't make a pilgrimage for it. read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Original XLB - flavor of filling is great. Filled with soup as well. Skin is a tad thick and has more texture. Vinegar - weak & a bit watered down. Spicy beef tendon - so good! It has the kick and thickly sliced. Easily top 3 in GA. Crispy noodles - sauce is great but the crispy noodle not so much. The noodles are too compact prior to deep frying and therefore some parts of the noodles are simply undercooked and tough. Scallion pancake - yes to the crispiness but the scallion filling and flavor is lackluster. Crispy Chinese crueller - I've had better Soy milk drink - you can skip :) Great service. Food came out super fast. Interior is modern & inviting. read more

The BEST soup dumplings in NYC are now also the best soup dumplings in Metro Atlanta area. Trust me, I know, and have done my research with all the receipts to prove it. After waiting almost 2 years, longingly passing by, Nanxiang Soup Dumpling has FINALLY opened their doors today to the public. As you know from my enthusiasm around this business opening and my superfanning about their original Flushing location that I've been visiting since 2008, I am so happy they are near me in Buford. Every month, I've been posting updates to friends. Now, I finally have the best update of all. The soup dumpling game in Metro Atlanta will never be the same now that their classic Shanghainese xiaolongbao have arrived. The atmosphere is gorgeous retro Shanghainese noir feel, with classic music playing. Along with a massive glass wall to see all the dumplings and wrappers made fresh to order. They have an exclusive section of their menu, just for the Buford Mall of Georgia location, called: Six Color Dumplings. The highest chef recommended being their squid ink fish dumplings, which are perfectly not overseasoned and not too fishy either. The dumpling skin is the perfect ratio and deliciously QQ. iykyk Order the Shanghainese classics; Xiaolongbao, stir fried rice cakes, and fish dumplings. Diana was our server and she is the best and most knowledgeable. read more

Dined in on a Friday night, there was a very long wait so be prepared! They do not take reservations at this time and towards the end of our wait (around 1 hour 15 minutes, they were turning people away). Not much room for waiting but it is by a mall so lots of room to walk around while you wait. The restaurant is a little small. But service is very quick, our food arrived very quickly after we ordered it. I think better pacing if the dishes could bump this restaurant to next caliber along with the service being a little more professional. We were delivered the wrong dish twice and had to send it back. Once we were sat, we were greeted quickly. This restaurant is very similar to Din Tai Fung. The food was very tasty and flavorful. You can see the soup dumplings being made in the restaurant. We ordered the Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings, these have a really flavorful soup with pork, more broth than Din Tai Fung which I actually prefer! Lovely vinegar as well that compliments the Soup dumpling well. A must order. We got crispy dough which was okay. The Scallion pancake was delicious and something I would order again. Perfect flakiness. The pork fried buns were delicious, very doughy but so good. We also ordered the Shanghai Sweet and Sour Pork spare ribs that were delicious, the sauce is so good and is what makes this dish, however, prefer Din Tai Fung's to Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. Also ordered the Sautéed Green Beans which added a nice freshness to the meal. For dessert we ordered the Pumpkin Cakes which is tasty if you are into pumpkin flavored things. Overall, I really enjoyed our time here and think this is very worth the cost. I almost don't want to post this review because I want to keep this place a secret even though the wait times are already quite long. I think once this restaurant is open for a view months they will be able to work the quirks out. Would come back! read more

Very convenient for after the movies. We stopped in for lunch after our movie. It was a weekday they were busy but we were sat right away. They have lots of seating. We ordered the signature soup dumplings, fried spring rolls and chicken udon noodle bowl. Everything was very fresh and good. My favorite was the udon noodles. Depending on how hungry you are you might want to order an additional item. read more

Finally tried Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings! This was my second attempt as the first time the wait was too long before a movie time and they do not accept reservations. I arrived on a Friday afternoon just after opening and was able to walk right in. The food came out quick and was hot and delicious. I had the Nan Xiang pork soup dumplings and chicken udon noodles. The service itself, minus the food coming out quickly with the runners, was inconsistent. I was met quickly by my server and then disappeared most of the time. Once to fill water and then took a long time to flag them down for my check. Thankfully I did not have anywhere to go right after. Besides that, it was a wonderful lunch and I look forward to trying different menu items next time. read more

We came here during the soft opening and it was pretty good. It was a weeknight and you cannot put your name in ahead of time. It was only a 20 minute wait when we arrived and so we put our name in a walked around the mall, yes this is inside the mall. We got called back prior to 20 minutes, but then had to wait while they set the table. We were seated at a nice booth and had a view of the bar that was not operable. The menu had lots of good options including the largest variety of soup dumplings I have ever seen. I guess it is in the name of the restaurant right?! We started with the scallion pancake which was really good, not too oily. We also got the beef tendon, which had sauce that was not numbing and lots of chewy pieces, not my favorite. We got the regular pork soup dumplings and they were amazing! Some of the best we've ever had, with thin skin and lots of soup. We were bummed they didn't have the mixed colored ones and were out of a few other things. The wontons in spicy sauce were not good as the peanut sauce did not do it for me. For dessert, we got the sesame mochi dumplings, which were unique and a good end to the meal. read more

We were excited for months to try this place when they finally opened, and it was a bit disappointing. The soup dumplings were truly a let down, very bland and too big to fit in anyone's mouth in one bite (and I think we all agree that if you have to bite or cut one in half, it kind of defeats the point); however, the peripheral menu items were very good. The pork dumplings, beef soup, fried rice, and spring rolls were all delicious and very flavorful. The service was quite lacking, and our server seemed borderline angry we had the audacity to come dine in her section. The restaurant itself is well decorated and themed, but the tables themselves are WAY too close together. Even small children can barely fit between them; the little serving robot that roams around also couldn't get through. I completely understand the need to maximize profit by fitting in as many tables as possible, but when the wait staff can't get to their tables it's a problem. I genuinely don't like leaving a negative review - but when a restaurant is named for a menu item and that menu item is the worst offering they have ... it's a bit disappointing. We may be back, but certainly not for the soup dumplings. read more

Since my review a week ago I have been back to Nan Xiang's twice for a total of three visits. Two during the soft open and one during the grand open. Aside from the items in my first review I have now also tried all of the following menu items: [ THE FOOD ] SCALLION PANCAKES w/beef (4.5 stars) | $10.75 The pancakes by themselves are tasty although the beef is a bit chewy, but the dipping sauce is what really brings home the pizazz. I'm not sure what it's made of, but I like it! NAN XIANG FRIED RICE (4.5 stars) | $14.50 The first time I had this dish, my wife ordered it without the meats. This time I ordered it as it comes (with the shrimp and ham) and I loved it, but I must say it wasn't quite as flavorful as that first visit. Still very good though, but I was expecting it to be five stars this time. Maybe the third time will be the charm. TURNIP HAM PUFFS (3.75 stars) | $7 I like them a lot, but I'm not sure if I would order them again. LUCKY SIX DUMPLINGS (3.5 stars) | $14.50 Most all of the dumplings grew on me oddly AFTER eating... especially the Scallop (pink), which was too fishy at first, but left a satisfying taste in my mouth after. On the other hand, the Black Truffle was good from the start! BLACK TRUFFLE - 4 SCALLOP - 4 CRAB MEAT & PORK - 3.75 SIGNATURE (pork) - 3.5 CHICKEN - 3.5 GOURD LUFFA - 3 PAN FRIED CRISPY NOODLES (3 stars) | $14.95 I chose the pork, shrimp & fish fillet which came with a brown sauce. Based on the picture on the menu I expected a white sauce. I'm not a fan of this dish and won't order it again. Flavor was okay, I'm just not the right audience. [ SERVICE / ATMOSPHERE ] Servers all still seem to be very new to serving, but eager to please. So far I've had good experiences. The hostess staff has been very helpful. They also seem to have fixed the lighting issue in my first two visits. Lunch was packed during my grand opening week visit. Wait time was about 15 minutes. Also seemed to be a female influencer filming a video on that day. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Overall most everything I've ordered so far has been good, but there are three items that will draw me back time and time again - The Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Nan Xiang Fried Rice, and Scallion Pancakes w/sliced beef. The green beans are also worth mentioning in my favorites category, but they are rather expensive considering they cost about the same as any other entrée. I mean, they're good, but they're just green beans. The only item I didn't try, but my son really enjoyed was the Beef Stir-Fried Udon. Items that I thought were good, but probably wouldn't order again are the Shanghai sweet-and-sour Spare Pork Ribs, the Turnip Ham Puffs, and the Fried Vegetable Spring Rolls. The Soup Dumplings were interesting and worth trying, but not my cup of tea. I actually prefer dumplings in the soup (like at Jinya) rather than soup in the dumplings. Items that I thought were just OK include the pan fried crispy noodles with pork, shrimp, and fish. The Gourd Luffa dumpling was also just mid. Lastly, the only items I absolutely did not like were the iced soybean milk and sweet soybean pudding. The hostess told me these items are very traditional in the municipality of Shanghai where she is from, but understands many trying for the first time might not like them. read more

Everything is served extremely fresh and hot. 14.50 for a plate of sautéed green beans is a bit outrageous. But they are some of the best I've ever had. We also had the variety soup dumplings, each, and every one of them were delightful in their own way I had the pan fried pork buns, they were delicious. We also had the red bean pastry, which to my surprise. I really enjoyed. They have a wide variety of cold teas. We got the Wildberry, which is one of the better teas I've ever had. I'm not a big tea drinker, but this one was full of flavor. Our service was great. We did have to wait a few minutes and this was in the middle of the day on a Monday so I can only imagine what this place will be like on the weekends. it says it holds 200 people, but they would also need staff to serve that many people the restaurant doesn't seem that big be prepared it is not a cheap date 71 bucks out the door for our lunch.. read more

NYC's best soup dumplings are now in Georgia! And yes--they're finally here at the Mall of Georgia. The ambience is warm and welcoming, where you can watch the dumplings being made !! The Michelin-recommended l has officially opened its first Georgia location in Buford, and it's already drawing crowds. They're currently in their soft opening until August 2, so join the waitlist as soon as you arrive and expect a bit of a wait. Nan Xiang is famous for its incredible variety of handcrafted soup dumplings, and the Truffle Pork and Chicken Soup Dumplings definitely lived up to the hype. The Beef Noodle Soup was the standout dish of the meal, and they also have some great vegetarian appetizers. The Chicken Udon was decent but didn't quite stand out. To cool things down, don't skip the Passion Fruit Rosemary Iced Tea--it was light, refreshing, and the perfect pairing. read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - cocktail - Dim Sum Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Extremely disappointing experience at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. I called ahead to place a takeout order, but three different employees gave me three different answers. One said I could order over the phone, another told me to wait, and a third said takeout orders could only be placed in person. I arrived at 11:50 AM and was told the restaurant wouldn't open until 12:00 PM. I waited until noon, only to be told they had to ask the manager whether they could even take a takeout order because they "might not have any takeout containers." Eventually they accepted my order, and I was the second order of the day. While I waited, more than a dozen dine-in customers were seated. Table after table received their food, including the exact same dishes I had ordered, while my takeout order was ignored. After about 20 minutes, I asked the front desk how much longer it would take. She told me another 20 minutes. When I questioned why, since I was the second order placed that day, she went to the kitchen and came back saying she saw my food being packed. I waited another 10 minutes, and still nothing came out. By this point, I had been waiting for over 30 minutes. Some dine-in customers had already finished eating and were paying their bills, while I still hadn't received my takeout. I finally asked for a refund. Even that took another 10-15 minutes because the manager didn't seem to know how to process a simple refund. The worst part wasn't just the wait--it was the complete lack of management. No one apologized, no one explained what went wrong, and no one offered any solution. The manager seemed completely unprepared and handled the situation like someone with no experience. This was one of the most disorganized restaurant experiences I've ever had. I won't be coming back, and I cannot recommend this location to anyone. read more

We came in an hour early and got our names on the waitlist before they opened at noon. They allowed us to look at the prep window and around the restaurant which was nice! Once they opened they seated us right away and we were able to order promptly. Our server was very attentive, always walking by refilling our drinks and checking on our orders. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, piping hot, and very delicious! We ordered soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, shu mai, meatballs, and the scallion pancake. All were excellent! Definitely some of the best that I've had in the area! For us, the dumpling were not thick at all, and suuuper soupy. For the price point as well, this was all a great experience! Of course the lines get insane so definitely be prepared to arrive earlier and join the waitlist. It's perfect that you're in a mall because you can just shop while you wait anyways! read more

Came here in summer 2026 (July '26) with family during their soft opening and have to say they are doing a great thing. We ordered a mix of dumplings and some dim sum and specialty drinks. Their menu was somewhat limited due to their soft opening but for what they did serve we were very well pleased. Service was friendly and restaurant was clean and relaxed. They seemed to be pretty busy for a Monday afternoon. Ambiance is very modern and feels like you are transported to China as the decor is quite well done. Now for the food.. the dumplings and dim sum were absolutely fantastic. Drinks were on point and I would say their location is dynamite. Located in the Mall of Georgia right across from Red Robin. Parking is the only thing I would say is a little tricky as their shared parking lot was packed. Service wise, Loreal was absolutely awesome and very friendly as well helpful and efficient. Southern hospitality with fast and quick service. She checked on us and made sure our entire meal was on point along with the manager who was also very kind. Wishing Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings all the best with their grand opening and a truly welcome addition to Buford. 5 stars and thank you! read more

I was super excited to try this place. I went on a Saturday, walked in at 11am to put myself on the waitlist (I was the 3rd party). At noon I was promptly seated and ordered the following dishes: Pork soup dumpling, spicy pork wonton, garlic green beans, shanghai pork ribs, and pan fried noodles. After waiting a few mins the server came back and told us they were out of the green beans, Shanghai pork ribs, and pan fried noodles. So I ordered the bok choy dish. The pork soup dumplings were very good and tasty. My partner liked the wontons. And the bok choy was just ok. My complaint is that they should have offered a limited menu for their soft opening instead of having the full menu as my table and lot of other guests were let down because they were almost out of everything. We'd wait about 10-15mins for our food just for the sever to come back and tell us the kitchen ran out. I'll give this place a try closer to the end of the year when they've got their inventory worked out. read more

People need to understand that this place JUST opened a week ago AND is hyped as a michelin recommended chain. You are going to wait a while if you come at peak hours, it just is what it is. You're in a mall, wait inside the mall. That being said, go in first thing when you get to the mall and put your name down on the waitlist. That way you can shop while you wait and you can show up when the text comes over. The food was good, i don't know about the other reviews, but the dumplings weren't thick at all and they were very juicy. Way juicier than dumpling master across the street. Our servers were attentive and came by frequently to check in and fill our waters. The fillings were seasoned well, tender, and aromatic. I prefer these over Din Tai Fung, as someone who has spent a good amount of time in California. The scallion pancake was crispy and cooked thoroughly and the the meatballs i got were also delicious, but very heavy. The beef noodle soup i got was also very hearty, definitely would get this again here next time. Overall, even though it's a matter of opinion, take some of the bad reviews lightly as those people were probably upset that they had to wait a while. The food was definitely good to me and worth a try for sure. read more
