Nan Xiang Express

Great service and clear environment. The soup dumpling is legit and the broth inside of the dumping is very flavor. We also got two fruit drinks that are as good as the Heytea next door! High recommend it!

The pan fried pork bun and the soup dumplings are solid. The crispy pork chop with rice was incredibly mid; the "garlic broccoli" lacked any flavor, and the accompanying sauce was just ok...probably would've been better warm.Always a decent place to grab a quick bite; there's always seating, and they close pretty late.

Anytime I don't have to go to Flushing or the city for dumplings I consider that a win. I didn't realize they had opened an express location Downtown, Brooklyn on Lawerence street which is fast becoming known for small Asian chains adding a location I happened to walk by and decided to have some soup dumplings You place your order at the kiosk indicating if it's dine in or takeout enter a table number and wait for your food. Id it's soup dumplings prepare for a bit off a wait since they are steamed.If you are new to soup dumplings don't worry they have a handy table sign giving instructions I only ordered the pork soup dumplings and water since they were out of the tea I wanted. All in all it was great to step out of the cold and have some dumplings

I've only had Nan Xiang back in Flushing (I don't even know if it's still there) so I was pleasantly surprised they had one near the hotel I was staying at. It wasn't as good as I remember but it was still decent. Service was a little slow though.

I've long considered the original Nan Xiang to be my favorite soup dumplings in the city. Despite the commonplace enshittification that ensues when most great local spots expand and scale, I am happy to report that these soup dumplings are still amazing.There are lots of options. There's chicken soup dumplings, the pork and crabmeat versions, even spicy beef soup dumplings (haven't tried these yet)...I'm getting the classic pork every time. If you want to mix it up dumpling wise, I also like the crispy bottom pork buns and the pot stickers, but nothing beats the signature soup dumplings. That said, I have been VERY pleasantly surprised by the chicken stir fried noodles. The udon is excellent, with a lovely chew on the noodles. I also like to get the garlic smashed cucumber salad, and they recently added a crispy sesame chicken bowl that hits that bad but good Chinese food craving that we all have from time to time. It's not my favorite place to dine in; not because it's counter service (the staff are actually very nice), not because it's not comfortable and clean and nice, but because the Express means you're getting most of your food in takeout containers, creating more waste than is really necessary. The soup dumplings do come in the steamer baskets though, and that's why you're here.

Great little soup dumpling spot in Brooklyn. I especially enjoyed the spicy beef dumplings.

First time having chicken soup dumplings. Luckily for me there are table toppers to teach you how to eat them. The dumplings are so delicious and savory, I quickly found that you didn't need the dipping sauce of soy sauce and vinegar. Vegetable spring rolls were good. I would definitely go back for the dumplings. The ambiance is similar to fast food. Service was friendly.

I found it a pleasant surprise that Nan Xiang opened up an express location here in Downtown Brooklyn. While they are more well-known for their soup dumplings, I was in the mood for some pan fried soup dumplings, or sheng jian bao. These, for the uninitiated, are steamed buns with a juicy pork filling that get pan fried until crispy on the bottom. At Nan Xiang Express, you can either order at the kiosk or at the counter, and the sheng jian bao are called D1- pork crispy bottom buns ($8.95). I thought they had a very lovely crispy bottom but found the dough to filling ratio a little off. However, the house chili oil pairs wonderfully with the buns. I also ordered the D7- pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings ($7.95) to go as well. The dumplings were juicy but a little overseasoned.While this is an express location, the food does take some time to prepare. If you are in a hurry and expecting fast casual speeds, I would not recommend Nan Xiang Express. However, if you have a few extra minutes to spare, the food is freshly prepared and makes a perfect quick lunch.

Food tastes bland and has no flavor. There are flies flying all over the restaurant and they're slow at serving the food.

This restaurant appeared new so in passing decided to check them out. It's always a good sign when you walk into a restaurant and it's full to capacity.After reviewing the menu decided on trying the pork soup dumpling and original scallion pancakes. Both items were tasty and the soup dumpling had a good amount of broth which was still piping hot when I took my first taste.Will go back and try something else from the menu and have the complete dining in experience.Clean restaurant and helpful staff.
