Came here with 3 people for diner and had the beef and chili pepper noodle soup, shanghai pan fried u-don, steamed pork buns and steamed crab meat & pork buns. If I only tasted their steamed pork and crab meat buns, it would have gotten 4 stars but I tried their other food and it was just so so. Not... More

Went with people originally from Shanghai. Said this restaurant is "classic" Shanghai cuisine. I found the decor a little too like a "diner." However, the steamed dumplings were the best they had ever had in the USA and genuinely complimented every dish we had. As an Anglo, my comments would include that I haven't developed the palate yet for the... More

This is a decent xiao long bao restaurant but the service is horrible. The waiting staff is unresponsive but expect you to tip normal. The name of this restaurant was copied from the real Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao in Shanghai near the city temple (the real Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao is so much better than its Flushing counterpart).

Seeing the reviews listed here i thought i was going to be blown away. The place is good. The dumplings are good, But they don't blow away Joe Shanghais. That has been my favorite place for years. They are both good.

I was introduced to this place a few years back by my fianceé's friend (who was a native of Hong Kong) as a great place to get "soup dumplings". Soup dumplings (or "steamed little juicy buns" sometimes) being an anglicized translation for "xiao long bao". Anyway, these are some of the best versions of that delicious dish that I've ever...

Went here for lunch today... Everything was quick and easy... Dumplings were very tasty and flavorful. We had the pork and crab buns. They were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the area….

This place will never be beaten. New places will open up and let me tell you, they will never reach what it takes to make Shanghai little juicy buns. This place makes it better than the one in China. Out of this world. Every week when I'm off, no question I will go at least once. Either with the family... More

I could give this 5 for the plentiful and delicious soups, and of course the amazing soup dumplings, but our waitress admittedly gave one of our dishes to someone else, and took well over 30 minutes to finally get it to us! Terrible to say, but visit with your Asian friends to get better service.

Whenever my parents come into town from Orlando, we always go here. My mom LOVES these soup dumplings. Every time we go, we always get at least 2 orders of the pork soup dumplings and 1 order of the crabmeat soup dumplings. They also have some great cold appetizer dishes. There is ALWAYS long wait for dinner though so we... More
