Nan Xiang Express - Boston Chinatown

The food here is great some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had! I tried the spicy beef dumplings and they were amazing full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The rice bowl with crispy chicken was also really good. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are totally reasonable. Definitely worth coming back for!

The sticky rice and pork shu mai was steaming hot and filled with flavorful sticky rice and pork. It was my favorite. The soup dumplings were decent (although it didn't have much soup in them) and the pan-fried pork buns were decent as well although there wasn't much meat inside compared to the amount of dough. Really good for the price point though!

Visiting Boston for the first time, we were nearby looking for dinner and stumbled upon this place. The reviews convinced us to give it a try, and we’re glad we did. We ordered four different dishes and everything was delicious. We’d definitely come back if we’re ever in the area again.

I make it a point to be here everytime I am visiting Boston - absolutely love the soup dumplings. It is one of those-if I could have a nickel for every soup dumpling I've had here... statement. For now, I've had almost every item on the menu, and for the price, the portion size, taste and freshness is amazing. Soup dumpling are amongst my favourite in Chinatown! It is a small place, gets busy around peak time, and the service staff is usually kind and friendly. I've always received food that is fresh, clean, decently priced. My staples are - pork soup dumpling, chicken soup dumpling, scallion pancake (although this is pretty oily), noodles (no gluten free options yet) I will continue visiting this place everytime I am here.

We’ve been coming here since they opened, and the food is good UNTIL you look around — the hygiene has gone downhill FAST. The bathroom looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in ages: poop marks on the seat and grime stuck to the sink. The tables are always sticky, and the whole place feels dirty and neglected. Even the walls and wall art had splashes of dumpling soup on them. If this is how the areas customers can see look, I can only imagine what the kitchen and the parts we can’t see are like. Won’t be coming back.
