NYU Tandon Cafeteria｜Warm Soup Dumplings at Your Doorstep

I used to complain that BK Downtown had nothing good to eat—until last semester, a soup dumpling spot opened right nearby! I’d never tried it before, but Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao is pretty famous back in China. On a freezing NYC night, what’s better than warm soup dumplings just steps away? 🍴 Nan Xiang Express 📍 148 Lawrence St, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (They also have locations in Williamsburg and Manhattan.) Starters: 🥢 Couple’s Beef Slices (Fuqi Feipian) – A Sichuan favorite! Includes beef, tripe, and tendon—authentic and tasty. 🍄 Four Happiness Braised Wheat Gluten – Sweet Shanghainese-style, with bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake. Not overly sweet. 🥟 Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings – Filled with cumin-spiced beef—unexpected but delicious! Our table of four loved it. 🥢 Chicken & Shrimp Shumai – Stuffed with juicy meat—protein-packed. 🌶️ Sliced Beef with Chili Noodles (Dry Tossed) – Loaded with beef and chewy noodles, spiced with fresh green peppers—satisfyingly bold. Overall, Nan Xiang Express is convenient, quick, and comforting—perfect for NYU Tandon students craving homestyle Chinese food. Next time you want a taste of home, give it a try! #SoupDumplings #PanFriedBuns #ChineseComfortFood #Buns #MustTry #RestaurantRec #HiddenGem #FoodLife #Foodie #NYC #InternationalStudent #NYCFood #NYCExploration #EatNYC #NYCStudent #BKDT #NYCEats
