Was looking for food around my area and came across this place. The main reason to come here is for the soup dumplings, but they have a bunch of other noodle dishes as well.
For sure if you never had soup dumplings or want to try it, this is possibly the main reason to come here. We got both the spicy and the regular, but I thing the regular one is fine by itself. The spicy one had more of a curry type of flavor and wasn’t the spicy I was expecting. Another notable item was the wontons in a spicy peanut sauce which is definitely a new flavor I never had.
The restaurant seems very spacious as it was filled with a lot of people, but didn’t feel overwhelmingly packed. The food came out fairly fast, but the soup dumplings was what took the longest of them all.

It’s Chinese New Years. Gotta have soup dumplings to celebrate, right? Went to Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao on 33rd St in NYC. It is right across the street from the Empire State Building.
I don’t know if it’s always packed on a Tuesday evening or if the New Years’ thing drew others like me. There was a line at 8:30p. Got a table by 9p. Line settled down after about 9:30p.
The place proudly displayed all of their Michelin awards. I’d be a tough Michelin critic: what sets this place apart from any other?
If this is “the best,” I’ve basically decided that a soup dumpling is a soup dumpling.
I tried their Lucky Six where you get one of each flavor. They should take a page from Russell Stovers playbook and give you a map like finding which chocolate is which. I could probably guess which one is which, but it’d be good to know. I mean, they’re color coded. On the other hand, there was not a huge difference one from the other. The truffle one stood out by taste. But not necessarily in a good way.
I tried their pork, shrimp, & mushroom Shanghai Siu Mai. I’ve never had a shui mai w rice in it. The rice overwhelmed the dish.
Also had the Shrimp, Pork & Vegetable Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce. The dumplings were good, but the peanut sauce was bitter. Very heavy peanut flavor w plenty of salt and not much spice. Tasted like ballpark salted-in-the-shell peanuts. Not bad, but unusual.
I left most of the peanut wontons, 2 of the 4 shui mai, and four of the five pork soup dumplings.
Overall: meh. Didn’t live up to the hype for me. Maybe Los Angeles spoiled me.

minimal wait time to be seated, especially on a busy Saturday walking in.
Ordering food was super easy. I like that the menu had pictures of each dish. Food was typical. Was not a fan of the beef noodle soup—it lacked flavor. The shu mai was just ok. The soup dumplings could have had more filling in them. I enjoyed the chicken soup dumplings more than their signature one. Their ube bao for dessert was also delicious. And, the iced soy milk was a hit!

we ordered the shanghai stir-fried udon, pork and veg wonton w spicy peanut sauce, and scallop and pork dumplings. the wonton came with 8 pieces and the dumplings came with 6, which was delicious and more than enough for two people. the entire meal was around $40. the staff was very friendly, and the best part about this place is that they played red velvet b-sides.. 10/10 so peak

Seems a bit overhyped. I was brought here twice by two different non-Asian friends who swore it was a great spot for xiaolongbao, but it didn’t live up to my expectations. The food is overall quite fatty/oily and lacks depth of flavor.
That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the Abalone & Pork Soup Dumplings and the Ube Red Bean Bao (dessert). It’s also still a decent option for an affordable lunch or dinner with friends (around 50€ for two people). Service is fast, though not particularly friendly.

I stumbled on Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao on my way out of my upcoming new office in the middle of Manhattan and I am so glad I went in. I tried the house specials, the soup dumplings and the dumpling soup, and ordered bok choy as an appetizer. Everything was delicious. The dumplings were delicate and full of flavor, the soup was rich, and the bok choy was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere felt authentic, like I was eating in Asia, and the staff were warm and attentive. I noticed on my way out that the restaurant has been recognized by the Michelin Guide for several years, and that recognition is well deserved. The food quality was outstanding and the prices were not overly expensive. Highly recommend.

Always a delicious meal! We tried the new spicy cumin beef soup dumplings and really enjoyed them! The gourd, shrimp, and pork soup dumplings are also a favorite. We also love the sweet soybean pudding, a comforting and warm treat on a cold day.

The location is excellent, with nice interior design and a clean environment. However, the food was underwhelming. The dumpling fillings all tasted very similar, as if the same base was used with just a few extra ingredients added. The so-called “Crab Roe Soup Dumplings” didn’t really have the authentic flavor. I’ve tried the same varieties at other soup-dumpling specialists, and they were much better.
The entrées, the pork ribs, dumplings, and wok-fried vegetables—were very average. The only dish I truly enjoyed was the noodles, which I would recommend trying.
Service was also just average.

This place is where it’s at! Every time I come to NYC I have to stop by. I love the mixed soup dumpling plate, it allows you to try all the flavors and not get tired of them. This time I was hungry so I tried the boiled pork shrimp and cabbage dumplings. I was impressed by how delicate the wrappers were, it tastes like what I had on my recent trip to China.

Right across the street from the Empire State Building is Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, home to some of the best wontons and soup dumplings I have ever had. After about a 30-minute wait we were seated and started ordering right away. We chose the Bok Choy, Shrimp and Pork & Veg Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and of course the Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. Every dish was outstanding. My favorite was the Shrimp and Pork & Veg Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce, which were simply unforgettable. Now I understand why this place is always so busy. It really is that good, and I will definitely be back for more!
