New York | Late-Night Diner Open Till 2 AM (2) ๐
Dumplings: Six-Color Soup Dumplings: Thin skin and juicy, like opening a mystery box to guess the filling inside. ๐๏ธ๐บPan-Fried Buns: Not crispy-bottomed; the filling is similar to the meat buns from domestic breakfast stalls. Personal Favorite: Purple Sweet Potato and Red Bean Buns, the only sweet dish on the table. Vegetables: Garlic Stir-Fried Shanghai Green: Incredibly crisp! Sweet and fresh, Iโd love to know how they achieve that crunchy texture. The vegetable sides in the meat dishes are even better when dipped in the sauce. ๐๏ธ๐บ The flavors arenโt overwhelmingly aromatic, but each dish is consistently well-executed. The taste has been adapted to local preferences. Overall, the dishes are not greasy, not salty, and not spicy, making them suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night snacksโa versatile choice. This place has earned a spot in my collection of Chinese restaurants that I can confidently recommend to foreign friends. Itโs also a great companion for late-night study sessions or work. ๐ฅข ๐ Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings ๐๏ธ๐บ East Village/K-Town/Upper West #NewYorkEats #NewYorkFoodGuide ๐๐
