Westfield Montgomery has announced that Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings, a New York-based, Michelin-recommended restaurant, will bring its Shanghainese dim sum and Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine to the mall’s dining terrace in the space previously occupied by Urban Plates, next to Shake Shack .
The menu features a variety of soup dumplings, including traditional pork, chicken, and crab & pork, as well as options with truffle, scallop, ham, and abalone. Samplers like the Lucky Six and Three Treasures offer a mix of flavors. Additional offerings include cold dishes such as Chicken in Wine Sauce, noodle dishes like Braised Beef Noodle Soup, rice and rice cake options, soups, and desserts such as Ube Red Bean Bao.
According to its website, “Soup dumplings, or xiao long bao (which literally means “little steamer-basket buns” in Mandarin Chinese), originated hundreds of years ago in Nan Xiang, a canal town near Shanghai. Today, soup dumplings are a global icon of Southern Chinese comfort food. For New Yorkers, the introduction to the best soup dumplings in the state began in 2006 with a family recipe and a small shop in Flushing. Nearly twenty years later, Nan Xiang is synonymous with authentic Southern Chinese cuisine. Recognized as having “the best soup dumplings in town” and with a perennial feature in the Michelin Guide, we pride ourselves on being a haven for those who value the warmth of home-cooked meals, family dinners, and community.”
The restaurant is expected to open this Summer. Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings will also be opening a location soon at National Harbor.
