Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao is one of those XLB restaurants that is not often brought up in the XLB fights because it’s not that accessible. The original location is in Flushing, so it’s a bit far from Manhattan. Many people do end up going to Joe’s Shanghai to get their fix, but fortunately now a Manhattan location of this restaurant has opened in Koreatown.
I had originally gone to the Flushing location and said the following:

Good crepes and milk tea. The decor is interesting here.
The iced passionfruit green tea was a nice drink for the hot summer weather.
The takoyaki was pretty good.

Bagel was pretty bad. The toasted coconut cold brew wasn’t that good.

The cold brew was pretty good, and the Ethiopian beans were good too.

Cheap. It’s ok beef noodle + stinky tofu. Beef noodle with mustard green was ok.

Reminds me of Pops but more standard burgers. Still pretty good and not too pricey.
