Jiang Nan LIC

First time at this location and happy to say that it’s easy to get seating since foot traffic here isn’t as busy but that also means this location closes earlier than others. Food is always good. Got the Peking duck and highly recommends it! Soup dumplings were great as well.

Our favorite weekly restaurant. We keep coming back for the duck, soup dumplings, Mapo tofu, and pork belly. Service is always great; staff was proactive bringing our aunt her warm water, etc we like this location better than the Chinatown location.

Solid chinese food, especially if you want it to be in a nice looking restaurant (though this is for the LIC location, unsure how the place looks like in Flushing). I like the pecking duck overall, though the canned fruit side dish to enjoy w the roll is a bit off. The veggie is well cooked. I didn't really like the tofu because I was expecting crispy tofu but it is completely soft 🥲 Food is definitely on the more expensive side.

Even though Jiangnan opened nearly a year ago (?!) I only ate here for the first recently despite living reeeeeally close by lol. Our group of 4 had reservations for 6:30 on a Saturday, and when we arrived there were still a handful of tables open. I really loved the overall design of the place -- such a fan of the light colour schema, warm lighting, and minimalist decor. The menu is rather large (and not very specifically focused on a particular type of Chinese cuisine) so it took us a while to decide what to get. - Sliced pork belly with mashed garlic sauce (蒜泥白肉) - this was probably my favourite thing we ordered! The pork belly was so tender and flavourful, and I love how the lighter flavours of that and the cucumber worked with the heavier garlic / chilli flavours in the sauce. Definitely would recommend this (and the portion size for an appetiser was surprisingly large too, definitely worth the value). - Sweet and sour fish (bass) (松子鱸魚) - I really liked the flavour of the sauce, balanced very nicely with the fragrant fish meat. The portion size was pretty reasonable but this was definitely one of the pricer options here. Nonetheless I would recommend! This dish is always a classic. - Braised pork belly in black tea sauce (茶香紅燒肉) - very yummy but nothing that particularly stood out here. The sauce is interesting but a little heavy for my taste. All in all the price point was pretty reasonable - this was a perfect amount of food for the 4 of us and came out to around $30pp in total. I'd love to come back to try their Peking duck sometime (their actual speciality lol)!

Today 1/25/25 was our first visit to this restaurant. The staff was very welcoming the Food,, decor, ambience, cleanliness, music were outstanding.l will definitely return and must recommend to others. Thank you.
