Nan Xiang Express - Boston Chinatown

I’ve been to Nan Xiang in NYC and felt like this express is definitely worth visiting. Of course it was more fast casual, but the food was still good. Braised Beef Noodle Soup is a must try. Comes with lots of beef and is a lot of food. I was also very happy with the Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings. They had a nice texture, none of them had popped and the beef had a lot of flavor. They were actually fairly spicy, which I wasn’t expecting but I was happy about that. There is a kiosk you can order yourself, or order at the front. Limited seating inside so that can be a challenge depending on the time of day.

Perfect spot for a quick and satisfying dumpling and noodle fix. Noticed this NY-based chain expanding across East Coast cities but never got around to trying it until recently. After ordering it as a late-night snack, I immediately wished I’d discovered it sooner. I’ve ordered twice so far, and every dish I tried has been packed with flavor. The quality was way better than that of typical takeout Chinese restaurants, and more importantly, the prices were surprisingly affordable. My favorites were the Scallion Oil Noodles and the Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce, but their beef & pepper noodles and pork soup dumplings were also on par with what I would expect from an authentic Chinatown restaurants. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu.

A really delicious fast casual place to enjoy outstanding soup dumplings! 🥟 We also ordered pork Wonton in Spicy Peanut Sauce, cucumber salad and the Shanghai Stir-fried Noodles which were all really fresh and very tasty. Scallion Pancake with beef was incredible and definitely a don’t miss along with the soup dumplings.

Nan Xiang Express is an absolute gem! Their soup dumplings are delicious! The thin, delicate wrapper holds a rich and flavorful broth that bursts with every bite. The beef noodle soup is just as impressive, with tender beef, tasty noodles, and a savory broth that's packed with depth and warmth. The balance of flavors in both dishes is incredible. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. If you’re craving authentic, delicious dumplings and noodle soup, this place is a must-visit!
