Nong’s Kitchen

Soup dumplings were excellent! Loved the scallion pancakes (fresh and great texture). We also had the pork fried rice and roasted duck on top of noodles. Enjoyed everything and is a perfect lunch spot on a chilly, rainy day. Fast and attentive service. We’ll be back!

If you love great Dim Sum and Ramen this place is for you. Super attentive staff. Great lunch specials. They also serve beer and wine. Highly recommended.

It’s a charming place in Manchester, the service was excellent, the food so tasteful and beautiful! We tried the Pork katsu curry (it’s a big plate) and the Miso Ramen, both delicious. The Thai Fried Banana Roll for dessert was perfect for two! There is a parking lot on the back of the restaurant with a lot of spots.

What a great place! We had a wonderful late lunch outside on the shaded patio and couldn’t be happier. The Shrimp Dumplings were super tasty as were the Soup Dumplings. My girlfriend loved her Singapore Noodles with shrimps and I ate every bite of my delicious Pork Katsu Curry. We can’t wait to go back. Good selection of Beer and Wine and a large assortment of soft drinks as well.

If you’re on the fence about stopping in, let this be your sign… go. You won’t regret it! It is an absolute gem. The food was incredible. so fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. Kim, our server, was unbelievably attentive and made the whole experience feel personal and cared for. We loved the soup dumplings fried rice, fried rice and orange stirfry. We even overheard other tables saying the exact same thing, which just shows how consistently great this place is!! What a great addition to Manchester

It’s been over 10 years since I had a ramen dish and I was pleasantly surprised. It hit the spot. Our male server was very friendly! Didn’t get to try the din sum but the table next to us was raving about it. The have a lunch menu with 4-5 options which is what we went with since it was half the price.

My husband and I came through Manchester while on vacation. We wanted to get dim sum earlier in our trip while we were still in NY, but unfortunately, the place we tried to go to had a very long wait time. Since we were craving some good soup dumplings, when we drove past Nong’s Kitchen, I knew we should check it out. We were seated instantly and received great service throughout the night from very friendly staff. The steamed pork buns we ordered were delightfully fluffy and had very tasty bbq pork inside. The soup dumplings (xiao long bao) were warm and savory. The char siu filled rice rolls were sweet and savory. We also tried the Thai chive cakes, which we mistakenly thought were similar to scallion pancakes. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we found that they were crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside, chive-filled rice cakes. We also got a bowl of tonkotsu ramen to share, which included carrot, sweet corn, pork, and a soy egg. Truly a phenomenal experience and if we find ourselves in Manchester or the surrounding area again, we will definitely come back. 5 stars!!!

Service and atmosphere are okay but the food is not good. We ordered soup dumplings (xiao long bao), there were only four of them. They are literally from costco or some frozen packaged food. They served them with raw inside first. I told them and they recooked them, this time the inside is cooked but the wrappers are broken … We also ordered the beef noodle soup which is actually pho.. the beef is tough and it tastes below average of some Vietnam pho stores. The pork kutsu curry went just okay.

Ever loved a restaurant experience so much that you didn't actually want to tell anyone else where it is? If it wasn't for the fact that I desperately want to this amazing place to thrive, I wouldn't tell another soul about it!! Service: welcoming, attentive and professional. Food: Without exaggeration, some of the best dim sum I have ever eaten in this country. Don't pass up the chive pancakes or the soup dumplings! Save an egg tart for dessert! Stunning ramen that doesn't dumb down the spice. Drinks: complimented the meal perfectly. I am so happy this restaurant is here in Southern Vermont!!

Met my friend here for lunch. As usual service was prompt. Food was consistently delicious. The place was not crowded today. Will definitely comeback.

I had my husband pick up dinner here tonight. It included tonkatsu ramen, sesame balls, and pork buns. Yes takeout is a bit pricey but that's standard everywhere nowadays. Everything is so good and you can tell it's high quality. Will definitely have to stop in to eat another day!

We had a fantastic meal. The scallion pancakes we ordered on a whim and wanted seconds. Soup dumplings were great. 5 spice duck soup we enjoyed and enough to share.

Went here for a quick lunch while visiting Manchester Vermont. The food was delicious...cute ambience and the service is outstanding!

I enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere at Nong's. TBH, when I think of Vermont, Asian food is not what pops into my head but in this town, there's not a ton of options at 7 PM and this is a good place to feed different types of appetites. My Katsu was very good and the chicken was crisped to perfection. I wish the curry was a little bit spicier, but I have a feeling that spicy food doesn't play very well in Manchester, VA. The entree was filling and I thought the starter soup dumpling served in soup with the soup spoons were both tasty and very creatively plated. The tofu, while way too sweet for me, was how I like tofu cooked. A little tough on the edges and soft inside. I'll add the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. This is a great spot to feed a family or a group. It's a thumbs up for me!

Loved everything about this amazing restaurant. The decor and aesthetic is absolutely lovely. All of the staff were super sweet and attentive. And best of all, the food is amazing. Would recommend this to anyone in the Manchester area.

We had a decent meal. Nice atmosphere, and plenty of options to select from. The soup dumplings were delicious. They were certainly different from what we had been accustomed to in the NYC area, but they were delicious. While the main dish had a nice presentation, it was definitely light on flavor for our palettes. It was not a spice-level critique, but overall flavor, being a curry dish. A good place but not a write-home-about place.... except for the soup dumplings. See pics attached.

Nong's is an absolute must-visit. The food is top notch and service is warm and friendly. Do not leave without ordering the soup dumplings. They are truly the best dumplings I've ever had. All the food is delicious. Come for lunch or a casual dinner.

Very friendly staff and accommodating to our toddler. The food was also delicious--we had some dumplings, which came out fast and steaming fresh. The katsu was perfectly fried; not too thick in batter and very crunchy. The eggplant was also delicious. Looking forward to returning with friends so we can order a wider variety of food family style.

We were in town for a few nights and chose Nong's Kitchen based on the reviews we found online. It was excellent! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was attentive and friendly. I only wish I lived nearby so we could frequent it on a regular basis. Don't hesitate to go!

Wonderful food, great server and the dining area was so adorable and welcoming. Loved the options on the menu. Soup Dumplings were awesome!

Excellent dumplings & friendly service! The interior is very comfortable. The flavors were on point, and paired perfectly with Tsingtao beer. Can't wait to come back!

Everything was soooo good! Great dumplings ! The service friendly and spot on. Presentation was lovely! Prices were very reasonable! Why isnt this place packed every night?

Both the food and service were spectacular. We had the soup dumplings, rice rolls, egg custard and split the roast duck over jasmine rice. Everything was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend.

Food, service , ambiance was AMAZING! Kudos to the Chef and the young talented staff. We would come back everyday if we could!

Very excited to have a new Ramen place in Manchester. The dining room is open and cheery with well spaced tables. The service is friendly and professional. I had a solid bowl of tonkotsu and a beer. There were plenty of other "Asian" dishes including dumplings and stir-fry. They are open everyday which is welcome and rare in the area. Be prepared, however to pay up for it, as prices are higher than NYC!

Right here in our town, we have this unique & popular restaurant serving dim sum, noodles & more! One of the specials tonight was a delicious salmon over garlic enhanced thinly sliced veggies. Also accompanied by a delicate fluffy rice. Fabulous! My guy had a wonderful crispy curry chicken (sliced) with rice & bok choy. Dim sum dishes are always a treat too. Topped it off by sharing dessert: their fried spring rolls filled with banana! And we choose to add chocolate ice cream too & it was divine! But share this! There's plenty for two. Service is always friendly & the rooms are very comfortable. Good for couples or families. Stop in for lunch or dinner. Yummy!!

Unbelievable food. The highlight was the Soup dumplings. I had the chicken Katsu Curry and pork buns as well which were unbelievable. Followed by some fun dessert options. You don't have many good food options in Manchester at this price point. this place is a welcome addition and an instant favorite.

Nong's is for those looking to satisfy a craving for Asian fare, far from NYC, with a nice selection of dim sum, noodle and rice dishes. Prices are commensurate with the uniqueness of the cuisine, as you are unlikely to find dishes like Nong's xiao long bao (soup dumplings) elsewhere in town - or served like they are here, as individual spoonfuls swimming in broth. The broths for the dumplings, as well as for the noodle bowls, are unctuous and savory, so the giant spoons ensure you don't miss a drop! For dessert, try the Thai banana rolls, which are fried banana-filled spring rolls, served with berries and drizzled with a choice of honey, maple or chocolate - enough for 2 for share. Service was friendly and quick, and the dining area was cozy but spacious.

Cute place good food and great service. Manchester is definitely better for having Nong's.

Fantastic food, friendly efficient service, lovely aesthetics good atmosphere . I had the chicken Katsu curry, it was delicious.

Service was amazing. Food was spectacular. Dessert is a must. The roast duck over rice was so good and the shrimp was incredible. We will be back for the ultimate dry noodles as they come highly recommended by our wonderful server Sabayo!!

We had a lovely experience from the moment we arrived. Service was efficient and extremely pleasant. The dining area is charming. The steamed chicken buns were wonderful. We had the barbecue pork with wonton, orange stir fry plus snow pea stir fry with chicken. All the food was beautifully presented and excellent. We also had the fried banana desert which was plenty to share. The price seems completely reasonable--we would recommend and will go again

Food was not good. front door was left open and there were flies all over the place. we had a huge dragonfly swooping over our table. opted to not eat half of the food. a huge disappointment

I was excited to see this new restaurant pop up on my last trip into Manchester. A week later, my husband, daughter and I tried them for lunch. It was not apparent on their website that their whole menu is not available throughout the day so I was disappointed when the lunch menu was set down with only a handful of items to choose from although we were then told that we could order from their dim sum menu as well. My husband ordered a pork and wonton soup dish (from the lunch menu) while I ordered a slew of dishes from their dim sum menu: xiao long bao (soup dumplings), spare ribs with black bean sauce, shrimp rice rolls, steamed roast pork bun, fried sesame balls, egg tarts. I grew up eating dim sum and found most of their dishes authentic and tasty. The soup dumplings, pork buns and sesame balls were absolutely spot on from any dim sum restaurant I've been to in the past. And while the spare ribs, egg tarts and rice rolls were good as well, they were not what I expected. Though I would not NOT recommend them. The shrimp rice roll, while different from traditional, was an amazing, fancy take. Service was excellent. Food came as quick as one can expect for being freshly made. Would definitely go back for lunch and looking forward to trying their dinner menu as well.

My lover and I drove three hours out of our way both ways just for an authentic New England experience right here in the middle of Manchester! Nongs kitchen did not disappoint! What a joint! My honey and I were looking for a little midday pick me up and nongs tiny ceiling and almost slanted floors knew just how to set the mood for us. Let me tell you, we became an X RATED NIGHTMARE after a few drinks at this joint. We started our lunch with some white wine of course, which made the ceilings open up more. Wine tends to open up my ceiling and Nong's kitchen sure had it flowing! The wait staff was EXTREMELY attentive. We ended up sticking to just drinks as their menu was a bit disappointing. As the conversation was flowing, my associate and I caught a whiff of some burnt waffles. Due to the listeria outbreak in waffles at the time we went - I was craving nothing more. Boy does it feel good to be bad! We asked the waitress for some waffles, given the fact that we were in the middle of Vermont. She repeatedly said no! Now, my 5'9 date is NOT a man that takes no for an answer. The staff was so kind as to provide us with heated mini strudels from the grocery store covered in sticky sweet Vermont maple - an omen to what lay ahead.

Great food, we ate there 3 times while in town skiing. Soup Dumplings were excellent, though served in a broth unlike the traditional ones. All meals were delicious and filling. Try it out, you'll be glad you did.
