“Wow I have been missing out! This is going to be our new go to soup dumpling place in fort Lee!! We got the pork soup dumplings, sesame chicken and the fried rice!! Also the scallion pancakes!! We're talking about going back tomorrow for more. So good! Also service is quick and efficient! Will be back!“
“The cuisine was passable. A few of the dishes, particularly the dumplings, had the texture of frozen food. When I observed a worker unwrapping a fresh bag of what appeared to be frozen dumplings, my suspicions were aroused. The menu's other items appear to be generally good. The plastic Tupperware containers they use to serve food are kind of cheap and inappropriate given the price I paid. Though I doubt it would be my first visit, I wouldn't mind going back.“
“This is some authentic Chinese food for sure. As someone who misses home a lot, I haven't had such well-made red braised pork was in a long while. The restaurant was a bit crowded, but their friendly servicer definitely makes up for it.“
“Delicious food and great atmosphere! After a long day of running around it was so nice to sit down and have a great meal where everyone around you is having a fun time! We started out with the Scallion Pancake and Vegetable Dumplings. I don't eat Scallion Pancakes very often because most places don't make it very well. Joe's Pancake was perfection! Cooked just right with layers of flavors. The Dumplings were light and fresh. For our main course we had Chicken with Broccoli and Sauteed Crystal Shrimp. Both were delicious and very generous portions. It was the first time I had had the Crystal Shrimp and I couldn't stop eating them. The Staff was very nice and we felt very well attended to but not overly so. We are really looking forward to returning so we can try some dishes that we have never had before.“

“I came here last year and returned a couple of weeks ago. I had a fantastic experience both times!We didn't have a reservation so we had to wait for a bit, but despite being seated at a table away from the main area, the service was still very attentive and the food didn't take too long to come out.We got the pork soup dumplings, crab meat tofu stew, Yangzhou meatball, and nine-spice rabbit. Their soup dumplings are my favorite in Flushing now that the quality at other well-known restaurants has declined, with fairly thin skin and lots of soup. The other dish that surprised us in a good way was the rabbit, the flavor was subtle but very aromatic.We had wanted to try out their beggar's chicken but they told us they only make about a dozen a day and were sold out, so that's a perfect excuse for us to return soon!“
“We were lucky to be staying at a nearby hotel that made this place an easy walk to get to. They have a convenient check-in system. We ordered vegetable soup (hot in temperature, which was great), spicy wontons in a peanut sauce (my favorite of the dishes), the variety soup dumplings (I recommend you eat these first as they're not as tasty when lukewarm), and pork siu mai (I think I butchered the spelling... but also great! ). For two people, that was a little too much food : ) The complementary hot tea was also very good. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that we had to wait a while for someone to come and take our order and refill our water/ tea. It doesn't seem there's a system of how tables are covered, so it's more of a situation where you need to flag someone down. Otherwise, you're likely to wait a bit.“
“Located in Chinatown, Manhattan. We decided to come here after reading the reviews. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 20 to 30 mins wait. We waited and were seated after 20 mins. Reasonably priced and lots of variety. From soup dumplings, to soup and fried noodles, plus much more. Delicious and authentic tasting“
“as you can see — we really dug into the delicious food at nan xiang express. what a great find! after a long night of research and dancing we were grateful for what felt like an oasis in the vast williamsburg desert. the food was great and the atmosphere lent itself to great conversation. five stars — and if i could, six!“
“Shanghainese thick fried noodle is authentic. The 年糕 don't have pickled veg with pork on the menu. Ut is the most authentice menu. Server was willing to make it. I appreciate it. The peking duck is dry, though I liked having the bones so I can take home. All in all, a good experience.“
“We came here with Mommy a while back. It was lunchtime. They had a line to enter the restaurant. Wow, that must be good. We ordered a whole Peking duck, pan-fried noodle seafood, sauteed pea leaves in garlic sauce, and fish filet with mushroom. I enjoyed the fish filet and sauteed pea leaves, which were the best dishes. Peking Duck was not bad and the seafood pan-fried noodle was so-so. However, Peking Duck was less crisp than the place I had in Chinatown. In short, everything was delightful! If we return, I really want to get that pea leaves again. This vegetable rock! Fish filets differed from what I had expected. One thing about Peking Duck is that they gave unlimited buns to eat with, but there wasn't much meat left because they filet the duck without leaving the bones for the customers. It's better to order a few filets of Peking duck rather than a whole duck. The place is a huge, two-floor restaurant. We had a table downstairs, which was pretty spacious from one table to the other. We'll return to try some other dishes and vegetables. Nice!“
“Came here on a whim after having a hard time deciding on a place to eat. Best decision ever as everything we ordered was delicious. The service here is great too, they train the staff here well. This spot is now a must visit whenever im in nyc. Go to orders are the Peking duck with the salt and pepper duck bones, preserved ham fried rice and szechuan string beans. Those three dishes are ? ? ?.“
“Amazing food for a great price. The shrimp dumplings were perfectly cooked. Hot and sour soup had just the right kick! For an entree, i highly recommend the sizzling seafood with garlic sauce. Service was friendly and efficient. Can't wait to return!“
“Definitely a five star. The 8 spice toufu melt in your month, almost like cheese filling, crispy skin was just right. Mouth watery chili chicken nicely presented, meat is still kinda warm when it is served, flavor is good. Very authentic and exquisite chinese cuisine. Better than many restaurants in China for sure.“
“$8 for 8 dumplings, and they are great!! Soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings were awesome. We also got the chicken pan fried noodle and that was very good. This place is a STEAL for NY priced food. After tax and tip, we payed $15 a person.I had no expectations, and I was pleased. The soup dumplings were yummy. I can’t speak to Price because I didn’t pay, but I don’t think it was too expensive. I’d probably come back again.They had a card register, but they were cash only. So maybe that was because we came when they were about to close, but look out“
“Slightly hard to write this review as I arrived a bit late to the meal. I went here months upon months ago. Not knowing that this was part of Dun Huang, I thought I went to the wrong restaurant but it turned out it was one and the same which was surprising. I was here with a group of nine others. As I arrived a bit late, the soup dumplings had already been there a while but they were still of very good quality. My favorite of the night was the Salted Egg Yolk & Shrimp Stir-Fried Rice Cakes. The texture of the rice cakes were perfect and the egg yolk complimented it well. I also liked the Dry Fried Shredded Eel & Chives. I also would have preferred them less shredded as I couldn't taste much of the eel texture but the sauce was nice and the blend with the chives added some good depth. The Fried Dough Twist Spicy Chicken or Laziji with Mahua was also surprisingly spicy for a restaurant which is primarily Shanghainese now so I guess they still have some influence from the old Dun Huang. I've had it before with these dough twists from the excellent Peppercorn Station and these rivaled that place even though the chicken there was a bit pricier but then again there was larger pieces of chicken in the latter. The Fish Fillets in Sour Cabbage Soup was also pretty solid as well as the Grilled Lamb Kebabs. You can essentially see Andie's review for the rest of my thoughts as they essentially reiterate hers. Yes it was too hot inside and as I was rushing to get there, I got warmer than most but oh well. Would go back but maybe go during the fall or winter if the AC isn't fixed yet. Mid 4“
“When I came to New York, I really wanted to eat Taiwanese food, so I used Uber eats to find this Chinese restaurant and ordered it once on 4/3, 4/4, and 4/6.The food is all very delicious and of a high standard. Maybe because I am Taiwanese, I feel that many dishes tend to be oily. What impressed me most was the stir-fried bean sprouts (vegetarian), which really covered the bottom of the plate with a layer of oil. , it should be oilier than the stir-fried vegetables in Taiwanese hot stir-fry restaurants. It may have been adjusted to suit American tastes, but it is still delicious! The bean sprouts are full of tenderness.Compared with Taiwanese food, a delivery portion can feed 3-4 people without any problem, and the taste and portion are quite sufficient.What I really like is the spicy and sour potato shreds, which are spicy and sour enough. The crispiness of the potato shreds is also very good. In contrast, if I order the hot pepper potato shreds afterwards, it is much inferior. The potato shreds are not crispy enough and have no texture. Highly recommended, if you can tolerate spicy food, I recommend ordering the hot and sour flavor.I have ordered lettuce with scallion oil twice. It tastes good but the portion is small. It can only be served for 1-2 people (I can eat it all by myself). It tastes very good.The family tradition of pickled pork soup is also very delicious. It is a soup that takes time to cook. However, my family felt very thirsty after eating it. The pork belly, sliced and bamboo shoots are very filling, but the texture of the bamboo shoots is not that crispy. .The seafood fried noodles are above the standard, with enough ingredients and moderate seasoning. Since I can’t finish it, I have to refrigerate it to eat the next day. The texture of the noodles is still the same and not too bad.Kelp and winter melon pork ribs soup. The kelp is a bit too big for Taiwanese people, making it inconvenient to eat. The soup is very flavorful, and the flavor of the winter melon is cooked in. The ribs may not be very chewy because they have been stewed for too long.Based on the above, if Taiwanese come to New York and miss Chinese food, they can come here to eat. The taste is not bad and the per capita price is about US$20-30 (in terms of delivery platforms).“
“I've been here 4 times in the past month now. The food slaps. Makes me feel like I'm back in Shanghai. Chef/owner is very welcoming and passionate about his food. The menu is a mix of authentic Shanghainese food and more mainstream NYC Chinese food. I recommend the pan fried dumplings （生煎吧）, lions head meatballs （狮子头）, and crab tofu （蟹粉豆腐）. I love the warm and casual vibes and Baodega has definitely become my new neighborhood spot.“
“Shanghai spot in Midtown East with a really beautiful dining room and nice cocktails. I thought the food was well prepared and tasty, maybe not top tier but quite good, and the pricing was excellent. I'd recommend the Pan Fried Pork Buns and Mongolian Beef or Shredded Pork.Their menu was maybe the nicest experience I've ever had. Each item had a high quality photograph with a detailed description of the ingredients.“
“Very good food and always point on. Highly recommend there ribs on hot plate. General Tso is out of the world delish. Waiter always has very good recommendation. Service is excellent. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Excellent leafy greens bean seedling sauteed in garlicParking: Never had parking issues and been there 3 times in Wednesday Saturday and Sunday“
“Best Chinese food I've had in a long while. Thank you for the amazing service, food, and drinks!! Everything was cooked just right and very delicious. The bar was a great place to be, very friendly and great bartender. The tea was so good too.Parking: It wasn't hard to find parking nearby.“
“Shoutout to Nan Xiang Express for their friendliest crew! The staff here goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome! The pan-fried pork buns are juicy and crispy, while the soup dumplings burst with soupy goodness. We will definitely come back.“
“Great crab and pork soup dumplings. The chicken and chili pepper with rice was hot and delicious. Lacking a bit of flavor in the beef chow fun, just look at the color. Too light! Nice staff, no wait for seats and in and out in about 1hr, will be back!“

“Would ideally give 4.5 stars but since that’s not an option, give them 5.Ordered 4 fried pork buns. Delicious.Service: meh. They were busy (Monday lunch hour) and first waitress was brusque and said we’re busy. Manager(?) came by and took our order with no issues.Place looks clean and well run except for our first impression. The hostess was very busy.“
“Can't speak for anything else but bubble tea, leaving review here as the restaurant doesn't show up for having bubble tea but the board outside the restaurant listed them as selling bubble tea.Selection was relatively standard for a non-dedicated bubble tea location (powdered tea flavors, Thai tea / taro / etc., less than 10 flavors), they get 4 stars though because the bubbles did not taste too stale despite being after 7p on a weekday. Not 5 stars though for volume of bubbles, as the amount of bubbles was less than expected.However in this particular zone of NYC with limited bubble tea near the W4th train station stop, not bad, dare I say your best nearby option if you need some nearby bubble tea before getting on the train.Did not have to wait long at all for boba take-out so giving service 5 stars.“
“On a trip to NYC w our high schoolers on a class trip. Accommodated 30+ very well. Very spacious in back of restaurant. Nice decor yet comfortable, casual. Food was wonderful. They were very accommodating with my beef and pork allergy! Excellent authentic Chinese at a decent price.“
“Everything was perfect; food service and atmosphere. And less than $15 for a delicious vegetarian lunch! I asked the waiter if they could add some steamed tofu to the veggies, which they did for no additional charge! My friend had a beer, so hers was a bit more.“
“What a deliciously serendipitous surprise! Okay, so…being freshly back in NYC full time, I decided to go for a jaunt, before a scheduled yoga class - stick with me here. As I’m making my way to a near by Target to browse and bide time, I’m suddenly inspired to detour from all plans made (Target included), go further downtown and walk 14th St from 8th Ave. You with me, still?I’m walking and I stop at a favorite haunt and I pick up a new deck - follow me for more on that later. I continue on, figuring I’d walk over to St. Mark’s because it’s been forever since I’ve been in that area. I’m strolling down Broadway and what do I stumble upon? “3 Times.” Curious me, I’m intrigued, especially because 3 is my favorite number. I go in, I sit and I am ENAMORED.Y’all! The service, the atmosphere, the FOOD! You have got to try their CHICKEN SOUP DUMPLINGS and the FRIED MINI BUNS - the latter comes with condensed milk. It. Was. SO GOOD! I washed it all down with a lot of their EIGHT TREASURES CHRYSANTHEMUM TEA - YUMMMMM! Mind you, I went to the grocery store this morning, but you know…life will lead you to pleasure when you let it. I will without a doubt be returning, and with an even larger appetite.If you end up popping over to 3 Times (Broadway/Union Sq), tell them Donny sent you. If you happen to see me there at the same time as you, say heylo! ?“
“I came on an off hour with a friend for lunch on a weekday and there was no wait. I was influenced by the videos I feel like we all saw. I saw FRIED soup dumplings and my interest was extremely piqued. Unfortunately these fried pork soup dumplings didn't quite work for me. I think they were really well made and held a good amount of soup inside, but ours veered slightly burnt, and you could taste that burnt flavor. They are also heavy-- they're oily and eat more like a fried bun than a fried dumpling. That quality of soup dumplings where you feel like you can eat a bucket of them is not there. I loved these rice cakes though! I thought they were seasoned really nicely without being too salty and included a ton of cabbage and pork. The portion size was also somehow more than I expected. And the prices here kind of can't be beat for dimsum food in nyc. My friend and I split these two dishes and it came out to around $16 for each of us, including tip.“
“First time at this location but I been to two other nan Xiang locations before. This place is quiet and the food here is solid. I ordered the pan fried dumplings which came with 6 for $10 and soy milk $3.50. Really love the soy milk here. It's not too sweet. The service here was fast and food came neatly in a red bag. This location is also very cozy. The pan fried dumplings didn't have the seared bottom like the other location. It was soft. The chili oil and vinegar goes very well with the dumplings though. The pork meat was juicy.“

“This place is TAKE OUT only. We ordered cucumber with garlic sauce, beef noodle soup and crab meat xiao long boa. Cucumber had good better flavor towards the bottom where it was marinated. Overall very good and refreshing. Beef noodle soup was okay. Beef was a mixture of tender and dry. Good flavor though. Xiao long baos are a mouthful. They do have juice. Skin is handmade which give it a good texture. It was a little too thick. If you like that then this is your spot. If you live near by, I definitely recommend!“
“Food ranges from average to great. They've got all the basics but my favorite by far is the Sichuan spicy chicken. Crispy, a little spicy, beautifully aromatic. The skin on their dumpling dishes were all a little overcooked. Service is readily available and quick. We had a reservation for a large group on a weeknight and were immediately seated. Restaurant was empty when we arrived (630ish) but was pretty busy by the time we left (8:30ish).“
“Dumplings are pretty good here. They have so many different kinds of dumplings and so many different varieties of colors which makes it kinda fun and pretty to see. The ambience is pretty cool and somewhere I would like to visit again. The service is pretty good but I also want to emphasize that it does get busy sometimes so I guess be prepared and maybe find an off time to go?... just a suggestion lol“
“Ordered in last night and the food was really great. Honestly I don't know how they were able to deliver the soup dumplings so hot. Those usually don't travel well, but these were hot and light & delicious. Chicken and eggplant were also hot and fresh and tasty. Special fried rice, scallion pancake and dumplings in peanut sauce were great as well. The best part was no MSG as I often get a headache from that. Friendly delivery person as well!“
“Xiao Long Bao were absolutely delish, the only thing is we had to ask for the vinegar which they didn’t bring at first. All the food came out quickly and you can see them making the dumplings in the front! Great food, great prices, Cash only!!“
“I grew up in Shanghai this one is authentic and have dishes other restaurants don't typically offer. My son doesn't like vegetables, but he loved the cabbage dish there! If you like authentic Shanghainese cuisine, the place is a gem.“
“Noodles were pretty good, wraps are good, and nice to be able to mix and match with some bao or veggies. The interior was fairly nice. I dont remember exactly what happened but i wished i had more water, wasnt sure if they were supposed to refill it.Not the most amazing food ever but its a good stop while shopping or checking out the area. Probably not a regular favorite of the localsVegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options clearly labeled“
“Juan was our bartender and server and delivered exceptional service!! Very attentive and sweet. The ambiance of the place is lovely , right next to our hotel. We already ate dinner so had some light snacks here and a couple of beers and a cocktail. When my cocktail was a little too sweet , he added a little whisky to balance the taste. Cold and windy night in New York on ling island but a little visit here was a good night cap!“

“If you are checking out the New World Mall Food Court you absolutely MUST try Yozi. The food quality is incredible, In my opinion their soup dumplings are the best in the area, Their sheppard purse won ton soup is also a standout, And somehow only cost $6 ???? The prices here almost don't make sense.The prices are about half what you would expect them to be, Honestly I don't really know how they do it. Their tofu noodle soup is HUGE! ..And somehow its only $5.Inflation is no match for Yozi!If you love authentic Chinese food at an absolutely unbeatable prices you simply cannot do better than Yozi. : )“
“Place is wonderful, great atmosphere, they will squeeze you in regardless of how busy they are. Btw this is our second day in a row eating here. We woke up this morning and couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday’s lunch. Dinner was amazing….hidden gem. BYOB ❤️“
