Located within walking distance of some of the most popular tourist spots including Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Grand Central, the restaurant is the perfect spot for hearty and authentic soup dumplings.

The dumplings come in an array of flavors ranging from crab meat and pork to pork, shrimp and chive (vegetable options also available), with each dumpling providing a burst of broth. But be careful, dumplings emerging fresh from the steamer are quite hot.

As a Michelin-recommended establishment, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao has earned its reputation by serving delectable offerings that transport you to the heart of Nan Xiang County in Shanghai, China. The menu also includes crispy pan-fried pork buns, Shanghainese dim sum, and an array of dishes such as Shanghai Pan Fried U-Don Noodle, Crispy Noodle with Shredded Beef; and Pork Chop Noodle Soup, among others.
