Dumpling restaurant · Chinatown

"For the many fans of xiao long bao (Shanghainese soup dumplings), the opening of Nan Xiang Express might save them a trip to Flushing, New York, where the original restaurant began its U.S. journey. The first Boston location is a fast-casual concept by the same restaurant group. Compared to the full-service Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, its menu is shorter but signature dishes, such as crabmeat and pork soup dumplings and scallion noodles, remain." - Valerie Li Stack, Eater Staff
