Great restaurant with traditional Chinese cuisine! The price is also very reasonable ~ and will open till midnight 🥳🥳🥳

Noodles are really tasty, but kind of bland without hot sauce or soy sauce. Also, way too oily! Other than that though, the staff is super duper friendly, and the vibes in the shop are great!

They really exceeded expectations for me pretty much as soon as I walked in. The decorum is excellent with every part of the infrastructure looking inviting. They have self serve water for while you are waiting for the food or even for while eating. The portions are really solid and the food was ready fast. Excellent service and atmosphere, I will definitely be back. I tried the chicken dumplings and the pan fried noodles with beef, both dishes were great and the rest of my party were satisfied with their dishes. A very welcome addition to the UWS

This place is GREAT, a friend told me about it and it tastes very authentic. The soup dumplings are my FAVORITE. I will be coming here again!!!

Just visited Nan Xiang Express and oh was it a treat! Started off with their soup dumplings, the Crab Meat & Pork ones are juicy perfection. But let’s talk about my favorites: the Shredded Pepper with Beef Noodles are an absolute must-try, so flavorful and just the right kick of spice. The Wonton Soup is comfort in a bowl, and the Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef is crispy and packed with flavor. Also the Wonton in Spicy Peanut Sauce? So good! Rounded it all off with a refreshing Iced Soy Milk. If you’re in the mood for some seriously good dim sum, carbs, and more, this is your spot. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Had the Spicy beef soup dumplings! The staff were quiet but friendly and when I asked them for ginger for my dipping sauce they readily provided it :) The dumplings were so warm and buttery(?) and it was just a little spicy so I think even those who don’t have spice tolerance can try it! Was a bit sad that some of them had more soup inside (might be that they tore bc there was a lil bit of soup pooling around the dish) but overall they were pretty juicy and tasty🫶🏻 The chili crisp condiment in the jars on the table was so good with the dumplings too 🤤 Definitely would love to come back again!

The food was really good! I really liked the stir fried noodles and the hot and sour soup !
