Visited Nan Xiang on a busy Saturday early afternoon. Once you enter, you can scan the QR code to enter your name and phone number and they will assign you a number. Luckily, there was only a short wait for our party of two at around 12pm...but I suspect the wait can be much longer later in the afternoon or during peak dinner times. Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away. read more

Another great pickup, another awesome packaging job. Driving 15 mins home and food still arrives hot and crispy. Udon noodles are delicious, rolls are crispy, xiao long bao are the best in Flushing, IMO. Ordering online from their website is best, plan to allow 30 minutes for your order to be ready. They'll email you when it's ready. Until the next great meal!!!! read more

The crabmeat and pork xiao long baos were celestial! A delightful equilibrium with a tasty broth in the interior. The braised beef was also excellent. Perhaps even better because the beef was so tender. Service was good as we were seated immediately and my tea cup was never empty by the server. Place was very busy but our server was on top of us. The place was crowded and the smell of everything we were supposed to eat made me more hungry than I was when I walked through the door. I really enjoyed it there! read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - Flushing - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Service could be much better.... But wow the soup dumplings and noodles here are awesome. We ordered a bunch of food for the 4 of us to share and agreed that the best parts of the meal were the pork buns, pork soup dumplings, truffle soup dumplings, and crab/pork soup dumplings. Special shout out to the chicken udon noodles and veggie rice cake dish. Veggie rice cake dish had a bunch of different types of mushrooms in it - yum!! We also got the hot and sour soup which was tasty, a little too vinegary for us but we liked it. The new osmanthus chicken item was basically sesame chicken but SO small. Only a few pieces each for the 4 of us. Definitely would come back for dumplings though... read more

Stopped by Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in Flushing this past weekend and had a much better experience than the first time I came here about 7 years ago. We ordered a mix of their signature dishes: pork soup dumplings ($8.95), crab & pork soup dumplings ($9.95), and black truffle soup dumplings ($12.95). All of them came out piping hot with delicate skins and rich, flavorful broth inside. The pork was classic and satisfying, the crab added a nice sweetness, and the black truffle had a subtle earthy aroma that made it feel a bit more elevated. Definitely the highlight of the meal. For mains, we got the pan fried noodles and beef noodle soup. The noodles had a great crispy texture on the outside while still soft inside, and the flavor was savory without being too heavy. The beef noodle soup was comforting and hearty, with tender beef and a rich broth. What really stood out this time was how efficient everything was. Even on a weekend, the wait was surprisingly quick, and once seated, service was fast and attentive. The space itself has also changed a lot. It's much more modern, clean, and upgraded compared to what I remember years ago. It feels more polished while still keeping that busy, lively vibe. Overall, great food, quick service, and a big improvement from before. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and craving soup dumplings. read more

Made a whole day out of Flushing and Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings was on the list, Michelin Guide recommended for several years so I had to try it. The Osmanthus Honey Chicken was decent but honestly a little overhyped for me. The Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings however were the real star with its delicate skin, rich broth, and every bite just chef's kiss. If you're in Flushing and in the mood for soup dumplings this is the spot. read more

Nice spot for breakfast. Gets very busy fast, even on a weekday, so service is polite but a bit rushed. They served tea when you arrive. I ordered scallion pancakes, hot soy milk and vegetable soup. The milk was truly delicious, the pancakes were very good. The soup portion is enormous, lots of veggies, noodles and tofu, but the broth is a bit blend (I dressed it with the vinegar and chili sauce). Definetly enough for two people! Ambiance is nice and clean bit definetly has that chain vibe. My bill came to $23, so its definetly a great value. read more

Ah I wish it was a 5 star all around review but unfortunately the food is hit or miss. If you're going for soup dumplings though, this is the spot. They have some of the best soup dumplings I've ever had they are just perfect. The rest of the food is just so so. We ordered pork soup dumplings, udon with pork, hot and sour soup and pan fried pork buns. The pork soup dumplings are 5/5. Perhaps the best I've ever had. They are very very good. Perfect wrapper, perfect soup filling and great pork flavor. You can't go wrong - this is their star dish and what they're known for. Get these. The udon was a 2/5. Cooked well and served with sliced pork and bok choy. The portion was massive. Unfortunately it was completely bland. Just stir fried in oil. I couldn't taste salt or any sort of umami flavors - mushroom, chicken, pork, nothing. Just oiled noodles bitter bok choy and unseasoned pork slices. I threw some of the dumpling sauce on top so we could at least eat it. Really a shame because the portion and preparation are both fine but there is just no flavor. The hot and sour soup is a 3/5. Good. Average. Nothing to write home about. Fits the bill if you want this. The pan fried pork dumplings are also a 3/5. I felt like the inside was WAY greasier than I bargained for and these dripped all over the place when I tried biting in. They are cooked well and the flavor is not bad. The one thing I couldn't get past is how sweet the dough is. I felt like I was eating a dessert. Maybe this is just how they are made here but the sweet sesame flavor in the dough was so overpowering I felt like I was eating a meatball in a dessert dough. Not bad and the flavors worked together well but the sweetness was too much for me. Overall I'm still going to give them a four because of how solid the soup dumplings are. My recommendation is to focus on what they do best and just get lots of their soup dumplings. The rest of the menu really isn't bad in terms of quantity and price but could just use with some flavor adjustments. read more

Came on a cold winter freezing night. Good thing nobody else was brave (silly) enough to venture out. So there was not wait. Been coming for YEARS even before the new location. They are hands down the best soup dumplings in all of NY. They have other items in addition to the soup dumplings. We always stick to our standard order- soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, cucumbers, and the shrimp egg roll. Soooo good. read more

Wow! The food was amazing and I'll be back! The crab meat and pork soup dumplings were magical! A perfect balance with a delicious broth inside. The braised beef was equally as good. Maybe even better because the beef was so tender. The service was good as we were seated right away and the server did not let my tea cup empty. Place was very busy but the server was very attentive.

A very busy place! I would not personally go if it was not for my long time friend visiting me from Oslo. A 45 mins waiting time! Truffle soup dumplings, crab soup dumplings and regular pork soup dumplings were all average. Joe Shanghai is still hold the crown in terms of Shanghainese cuisine. I must give the business owner /the management a big star. She read my review today and replied with a classy humble message. A rare trait. read more

Came here for lunch on the day of Christmas Eve in a party of 3. A huge crowd of people showed up for lunch around noon. Our wait was thankfully around 10 minutes. Xiao long bao are large and the dough is perfect thickness and texture! This is where I learned I had eaten soup dumplings the wrong way the entire time. You're supposed to bite into the twisted tip, and suck out the soup from the top so that it doesn't spill haha. In addition to xiao long bao, we go: -3 types of noodles: pan fried sea food noodles, and two types of noodle soups. -Beef pancakes -Ube buns stuffed with red bean It definitely felt like I was in a restaurant in Taiwan. The food and vibes felt authentic! Since we spent over $100, there was a spin-the-wheel at the front for a free gift. I spun it and got a scarf. The scarf is very soft and good quality! read more

Really good soup dumplings, and fried rice cake. Flavorful and great portions!! Service is mediocre, the servers were nice but the host has horrible attitude. DISCLAIMER!!! if you're a vegan/vegetarian, this is NOT the place for you. They have marked items with a green leaf, BUT keep in mind that there is oyster sauce and chicken bouillon in everything! So IT IS NOT VEGAN/VEGETARIAN. very misleading. read more

Great spot to get your fill of taste of Shanghai. Plenty to choose from, breakfast, cold appetizers, hot appetizers, and of course the soup dumplings. Every dish we ordered coming out is top quality, and carefully put together. A lot of attention is put into both the taste and the look Staff is friendly, speaking both Chinese and English. Very attentive, refilled our tea before we had to ask, and speedy service Interior is quiet nice, a lot of seating inside, sometimes can be packed / a bit of a wait on weekends. Weekday night when I went was busy, but we didn't have to wait to be seated Overall great spot! Definitely worth going read more

Good food, super reasonable service and timing, clean establishment, and prices like you'd expect. Really appreciated the dumpling flight so you can try many different flavors without having an insane amount of leftovers. Disappointed at the number of dumplings that leaked before being touched or broke when handled gently. Losing the soup, especially when it drips onto desert dumplings stacked into trays below, really ruins the experience. They weren't stingy with the ginger or the takeout containers which was a nice surprise. read more

Soup dumplings - gets very busy at lunch, Shanghainese specialty, and they have a variety of styles. Including a mixed 6-type steamer if you want to try the major ones! Their crab and pork had just a little crab, disappointed at that, but still a solid amount of soup. Soy milk and a youtiao (fried cruller) were good, and the wine chicken was excellent. Melon green tea was also a nice refreshing touch and good chewy jelly at the bottom without being too sweet. They didn't rush us out even with the line of people, so good service from that perspective, and refilled tea on a timely basis. Bathrooms crowded, though, and the restaurant seating is second level, so take the stairs or go around the outside of the mall to see if they have an elevator at the hotel or similar to get to the second floor entry if you are handicapped. Too bad they don't deliver to our area anymore, but they do have a NJ store that is listed to open in the American Dream mall, but so far no sign of the opening date. read more

The service here is exactly what you expect from a Flushing spot. Nothing overly attentive, nothing special in that department. The vibe is straightforward: get in, get your food, get your check, get out. The check comes taped to your table almost as fast as the food does. That is just how it goes around here and honestly there is nothing wrong with that. The food moves fast and that is the whole point. The orange chicken was pretty good. Nice flavor, crunchy, not too heavy on the sauce but enough to know it is there. The soup dumplings were the standout of the meal. Massive, juicy, and tasty in the way that good soup dumplings are supposed to be. Wifey got the Shanghai stir fry noodles and those held up well too. Good flavor, thin strips of meat, though a little light on the protein side. We had a lychee drink with tapioca balls that I have had before and still enjoy. The white rice was solid for what it is. The shumai, though, was just okay. Nothing that made an impression one way or the other. This is a Michelin recommended spot and the meal was decent. Not a bad experience by any stretch, but nothing that really pushes it beyond a solid neighborhood lunch. We have been here before and it was the same story both times. Reliable, quick, and good enough to come back to when you are in the area and want something familiar. read more

Normally I go to the one in Westbury, even though I've passed this location in Flushing multiple times. Tonight I finally came in since they're open until 12 pm. I definitely give it a 10/10.They have a bigger drink selection, the service was kind, and everything came out fast, fresh, and most importantly HOT. You already know I had to get my soup dumplings, and they were so good. I usually don't like trying different locations because the food doesn't always taste the same, but this one hit the spot.The Beef with Shredded Pepper Noodle (no soup) is a 10/10 and I can never go wrong with my bok choy.The ambiance was great too very open, spacious, and you get nice views. If you're ever around Flushing and want some late night eats, this is your place! Also there's a parking lot across the street after 10 pm is free read more

This continues to be my favorite Shanghainese restaurant in Flushing. Went here with my daughter this weekend and ordered a lot of dishes. The table they gave us was just for 2 people and was so tiny that all the plates did not fit the table. Ordered the abalone soup dumplings and they cracked when I tried to pick them up so the soup ended up spilling everywhere. It was still very good though. I thought they had rice but they did not have any so I ended up getting the Shanghai stir fried udon and chicken fried udon noodles. It was a lot in each dish! The fried udon was very sweet, thick, and soft! Loved it so much! The place was very crowded and mostly families and large groups went there. The first floor had a koi tank that was very lovely. My daughter couldn't keep her eyes off the koi. There were different colors of koi that were so beautiful. The first floor also had a large tree with trunks of leaves making the first floor very beautiful to hang out while waiting for a table. There is a QR code on the first floor where you scan with your phone to get on the waiting list for a table. read more

The place was very nice and the hostess was very kind and got us seated right away. We walked in and were able to eat. The food was AMAZING 5 STARS. Delicious and made with flavor and love. Soup dumpling was the best part, if you never had it , come to Nan Xiang first! I wish they weren't so pushy about taking peoples plates away when they just finished eating, especially when it wasn't that busy. As well the bathroom could be more clean but other than that. Food is Michelin star awarded and for a reason!!!! read more

Delicious soup dumplings! My favorite is either the black truffle pork soup dumplings or the crab/pork meat, I'm always a fan of crab meat soup dumplings. The outer edges are crisp, but with each bite you get fresh steaming meat and a good amount of soup. When we went there is a long queue, but you put your number in the kiosk and the table turnaround is relatively quick. We waited maybe around half an hour and this was at 8pm. Inside is clean, spacious, and the ordering process is very easy and with fast service. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get too, so all in all I would definitely recommend this spot to try! read more

Hi Pat, also sort of Chinese food in my life so far, but this one is Shanghai style and it was really delicious. Especially this cabbage type chili oil pickled salad, I'm assuming, which was just absolutely different than I've ever had before but the way we eat the food that we got was almost like Korean style barbecue. First, you gotta get this thin oval rice paper, and you put the roasted duck in there with some veggies and then a little bit of duck sauce and some little sprinkle of sugar and it is just an explosion in your mouth like I've never had before. It was a really unique experience. I'll be definitely coming back here again. read more

We stumbled upon this Michelin recommend restaurant for lunch before the Mets game. We had the dumplings and the chicken udon noodles and both were amazing.

ORIGIN: Soup dumplings are said to have originated hundreds of years ago in Nan Xiang, a town near Shanghai. Named in reference to this history, Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings started as a small shop in Flushing, Queens, NYC in 2006 and has since expanded to several locations. LOCATION: The current Flushing location is at the busy intersection of Prince and Roosevelt, short walk from the Main Street train station. SERVICE: Service is efficient and indifferent. FOOD: The dumplings are made to order and there is a special kitchen viewing area where you can see the dumplings being made. The restaurant serves far more than dumplings. I tried one of the "chef recommended" items in the menu-- Shanghai Stir Fried Udon -- and wished there was a higher proportion of bok choy. AMBIANCE: The dining room of this location is on the second floor. Tables are close together and it feels more like a diner than a restaurant. TIP: Since the dining room is on second floor anticipate walking up a flight of stairs. The restaurant opens at 8 AM and serves breakfast dishes all day. read more

Saturday afternoon is a busy time so I scanned QR code to get on waitlist. While there were 12 parties ahead of us, the wait was no longer than 20 minutes. Upon entry, lot of people waiting in the lobby waiting for their number to be called. The restaurant is furnished with wooden furniture and modern Asian restaurant feel. As soon as our number was called we were seated and tea was immediately brought to us. Familiar with the menu we decided to order seafood pan fried noodles, definitely crab pork soup dumplings, and new to the menu, sweet sticky ribs. The pan fried noodles and ribs were quickly delivered and piping bug hot. The ribs were sticky soy sweet sprinkled with sesame seeds. The meat almost fall off the bone with nice chew. The pan fried noodles, always a favorite, was filled with a coat sauce with plenty of fish, shrimp, & Kim Jo scallops. The soup dumpling took awhile but it came piping hot and the soup overflowing as you bite into them. So deliciously good! Our waiter was helpful and checked frequently and filled our tea cups. Great surface and definitely coming back! read more

Been to another of their locations and relatively the same. The XLBs all good, the beef soup noodles were just as good as the rice cake dish. My only gripe was the beef wrapped in scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was real dark which seemed like old oil was used to fry it. The texture wasn't as flaky but instead was dense in places and bland as well read more

Food so good that the shortcomings won't bother you. Nan Xiang is busy all the time, but signing up for their waitlist using the QR code at the entrance usually gets you seated in about 15 minutes. You're not here for the ambience, the room is kind of loud, harshly-lit, and crammed full of people. Beverages aren't really a thing here, either: you can get a few beers, or some soft drinks, or the weak green tea that is their default libation. You won't be asked if you want a refill. Mark which items you want on the menu with the golf pencil provided. The dumplings are absolutely amazing, which is why this is a Michelin-honored international franchise. Bon apetit. read more

This is one of my go-to places for XLB (soup dumplings). They've upgraded to this location, which is just a few doors down from their original shop. This is larger and has a high ceiling. I actually had DTF (Din Tai Fung) at their London location in Selfridges two nights ago and decided to try it again. I ordered their regular XLB and noted the following: - The size is larger than I remembered. - The skin is thin. - The soup is plentiful and clear. - The meat is well-prepared. Overall, it's still my favorite spot, now in a more spacious environment. I visited at 10:30 AM, and they weren't busy at all. From the waiting area at the lower entrance, I could see they are likely busy during lunch and dinner times. read more

My mom and I usually go to spot whenever we are in flushing. They have a Michelin star and they are super affordable. I was happy to see them add more vegetarian friendly options as before it used to be a lot of pork and I don't eat pork. They ambiance is always so nice and they always get the food out quick. The complementary tea is always a nice touch. I will say personally I prefer the dumplings from the people selling them on the corner of Roosevelt and Main Street (and they're cheaper) because the veggie soup dumplings lacked flavor. They could have used some garlic or onions or something. I also noticed they did have some water damage on their ceiling that seems so have went neglected and the mold really got to me and I ended up having an asthma attack. I would come back but I would make sure I am seated far away from that moldy area. read more

Ordered take-out to cut down the wait and enjoyed our meal in the club room of the Marriott across the street. See the photo, everything was next step DELICIOUS. Dumplings melt in your mouth like the best soup ever with a tasty meat filling. For takeout, prepare for a 20 minute wait for dumplings. You need to be upstairs and check on it because they don't really follow up with takeout orders because they're slammed with in-house guests. Also, double check & include soy sauce and chili oil. Something special about their soy sauce... read more
