I did takeout and it was pretty solid food!Not the best soup dumplings but pretty good and definitely cures the craving. The spicy wontons were great though.Solid food for a night in!

This place is great. The soup dumplings are really good and I enjoyed the Udon noodles as well. Perfect for a quick bite.

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.

I wouldn't say the food is amazing, but it definitely hits the spot in a pinch and I'm glad they opened one up in Williamsburg. There's a few tables inside and outside, with tableside chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce so it's definitely preferable to eat there instead of take out. Everything they serve is given in disposable containers though. You can order at the counter or at a kiosk in the front. Pan fried crabmeat and pork dumpling ($10) - I wish these were crispier on the bottom, for a proper pan-fried bottom. It's juicy on the inside, but doesn't have any soup. Didn't taste the crabmeat on this either since I think the pork overpowered it but the filling was nicely seasoned and tasty. Dough was pretty thick compared to the meat. Great snack / light meal though!

Came here because I was craving some dim sum food on a Sunday afternoon! The beef fried rice cake and the signature soup dumplings were so good and was the perfect portion for two people. We also ordered an extra dish of the beef tendon and tripe in spicy sauce, but the dish was cold. I think it was meant to be eaten cold, but I didn't like it. I would have preferred if the dish was hot. The portions were big since the 3 dishes were too much for two people, so we ended up taking the beef tendon/tripe home for leftovers the next day, which tasted a lot better with rice and heated up. Service at this place was a bit slow. We ordered on the screen, but waited quite a while to get the food. It's pretty much self service, there's a water pitcher in the back that you have to get yourself, and when you are done with the meal, you need to toss the food/containers in the trash and put the tray away. I didn't appreciate that this place used to-go containers and utensils, even if you are dining in. Overall, I did really like their soup dumplings and beef rice cakes, so I'd definitely come back for those items again if I'm in the area :)

Excellent Soup Dumplings, Stir Fried Rice Cakes and Cucumbers. I've ordered here consistently for pick up and delivery and they are quick with their order and the meal always comes out consistent. Highly recommend

So went here yesterday since I needed soft food to eat. I was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter who helped take my order then I sat a table . He gave me the iced soybean milk very quickly and only a few minutes later already got the chicken fried rice cake that was cooked very well both the chicken and the soft rice cakes!Soup dumplings followed. I don't really like pork so it was nice to have a chicken option both the dumpling skin and the inside was bomb. It was everything I wanted in the moment.I will definitely return here the next time I have a craving and it's great value for money!

Nice, tasty addition to the neighborhood, as the world-famous xiao long bao from nan Xiang make their way to Williamsburg, making it a lot easier for Brooklynites such as myself to taste delicious soup dumplings this side of Flushing.Occupying the space of sow-defunct (and sorely missed!) Dim Sum Bar, this is mostly a takeout space, although there are 3-4 small tables inside, and a couple more in the small outdoor space at the back. The decor modern/minimalist, what you expect for a takeout. Service is courteous and the dishes are prepared fast. We enjoyed all the dishes we tried: the crab and pork soup dumplings of course, but also the scallion pancake with sliced beef, the four happiness sponge tofu, and the shrimp fried udon.As this is mostly a takeout business, most dishes are served in takeout containers. This means that, if you dine in, you will produce an inordinate amount of plastic. As there is only one trash can, it's unclear whether any of the plastic used here is actually recycled. I certainly hope so.

Amazing dumplings - some of the best I've had and I've had them all over the world. Their soup dumplings which they are known for live up to their reputation.

I was craving Xiao Long Bao (the famous soup dumplings) and I did a search online about this place, so I went to checked it out. Good location in Manhattan, you can watch from the restaurant windows how they make the dumplings. Interiors were nice and the restaurant is clean. I ordered some signature pork soup dumplings, some vegetables dumplings, egg fried rice, seafood crispy noodles and garlic bok choy. I expected the dumplings skin to be thinner but the flavor was very good. The fried rice and the crispy noodles were excellent, delicate flavor and not greasy like many Chinese restaurants. Thumbs-up for this restaurant, I enjoyed the food very much and the prices were reasonable.

Came here for lunch Sunday—luckily it was just a short wait. Highly recommend the Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings and the Truffle & Pork Soup Dumplings—it’s so good! For veggies, the Cucumber Salad with Garlic is tasty—also tried the Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce but didn’t enjoy it, it was very bland. Would definitely come back for their soup dumplings!
