“ This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves comfort food! Their wontons are perfectly seasoned, with a tender wrapper and juicy. The noodle soup is equally impressive — rich, flavorful broth with springy noodles and fresh toppings. It’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving authentic, satisfying dumplings and soup! ”
“ These dumplings are absolutely fantastic, especially the spicy dumplings served with peanut sauce! Each bite is bursting with flavor, and the spicy kick perfectly complements the savory filling. The prices are reasonable too, making it an excellent spot to enjoy delicious, high-quality dumplings without breaking the bank. If you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful dumpling experience, this is definitely the place to go! ”
“ This is a great dumpling shop with about 6 4-top tables and a small but very nice back outdoor area with some seating. You can order directly from staff or via a touch kiosk. We got most of their menu when we went. The hot and sour soup is good on the sour side with a nice amount of acid but could be a bit more spicy and have more mushrooms in it. The hot sauce on the table is Szechuan pepper based and has a fair amount of mala so be warned. The scallion pancake was pretty good and comes with hoisin sauce to dip it in, came out super hot and crispy but could have used a few more scallions to better hit on the onion flavor. Finally the soup dumplings: we tried every type and all were amazing, they come out steaming and hit but not so hit you can not actually eat them right away, great flavor on the pork, beef and porkcrab. Overall this was an amazing little spot for lunch ”
“ Fast Food Quality Soup Dumplings (Express baby of the famous Nan Xiang in Flushing). Super fast and easy to order / eat in or take out when you’re on the run (the kids love it too!) Love this cafeteria style concept. ”
“ Very efficient ordering experience. Food is delicious too and authentic. Chilli Oil is a must try to go with your dumplings. Recommend everyone trying. ”
“ Had a great experience at Nan Xiang Express in Williamsburg! We ordered the chicken stir-fry and scallion pancakes, and both were fantastic. The chicken stir-fry was flavorful, with tender chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables, all coated in a delicious sauce. The scallion pancakes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had just the right amount of oniony flavor. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and satisfying meal—will be coming back to try more! ”
“ 17 days. I’ve been eating wraps. Today is the first time I had authentic Chinese food. This 青椒肉丝noodle is not just tasty, but more like a spiritual experience for me. ”
“ Very impressed by the pork soup dumplings. They have a patio in the back but nothing extravagant. Great service. ”
