This might have just become one of my new favorite pre-show dinner spots! After snagging last minute tickets, we were on the hunt for last minute dinner reservations. While Nan Xiang doesn't take reservations, reviews reassured me that the wait is never too long. They were spot on!
We got here around 6:15 or so on a Saturday night and after a 5 or 10 minute wait we were seated. We put our order in a few minutes later and the food almost immediately began to come out.
There were only the two of us, so I can say confidently we ordered WAY too much food. The soup dumplings were the star of the show of course. We got two orders, one of the Lucky Six which were the combo of all different ones, and one more order of the crab meat & pork. Both were so delicious and some of the best soup dumplings I've had. The broth was piping hot and flavorful and the skin wasn't too doughy. I also loved the actual meat of the dumpling. I might make a special trip soon just for soup dumplings.
We also got an order of the black wood ear mushrooms, spicy bamboo shoots, sweet & sour spare ribs, Shanghai fried udon noodles, and stir-fried bok choy with garlic sauce. Like I said, wayyyyy too much food. But I loved being able to try so many dishes.
Besides the soup dumplings, my favorites were the udon noodles (a little crispy and in a really great sauce), the bok choy (as someone who always wants a little green on the table. But I will say that a few of our other dishes had bok choy in them as well, so I wouldn't mind skipping this one in the future), and the wood ear mushrooms (almost tasted like chewy seaweed! A little funky but a really tasty app or side).
Nothing but good to report. The space is massive and clean, the service was super quick, the food was delicious. I do wish they had smaller plates for half the price so you don't feel bad when you want to try a little bit of everything, but I think coming back with a big group would solve that issue.
