Jiang Nan Flushing

"From the hanging plants to the koi fish pond, to the lavish amount of space between tables and even the paper stock used for the menus, every detail at Jiang Nan seems carefully considered. That precision extends to the food from different regions of China at this group-friendly spot. The Peking duck is the main event, and it comes with pineapple chunks in addition to the usual accoutrements. The chewy pancakes are so good, we wish we could sneak them into every Peking duck spot. Add soup dumplings, and the fried, roe-filled capelin (a type of smelt), for a meal you’ll soon want to have again." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick

"The sprawling dumplings have a more delicate wrapper than you might imagine, and the filling of the pork and crab has a good amount of crustacean that shines not only in the topknot, but in the porky interior, too. This is an elegant restaurant with all sorts of tableside prep, including flaming dishes, and the dumpling steamer itself is particularly handsome." - Robert Sietsema

"One Fulton Square is fast becoming the address for the area’s most compelling restaurants, but unlike its neighbors, which stick to single specialties like Sichuan or soup dumplings, Jiang Nan delivers hits from all regions of China. The stylish restaurant group now runs multiple locations across the region, but this Flushing location is the original. Roast Beijing duck is a signature order that comes with thin pancakes on a silver tray. Fiery mapo tofu in a portion fit for four and one particularly thrilling sliced beef in golden pepper sauce are also must-orders. The grand setting is particularly attractive, ideal for dates and business meetings alike, thanks to a handsome Imperial design that mixes lacquered finishes, stone and greenery." - Michelin Inspector
