Nan Xiang's Famous Soup Dumplings Return To Flushing This Fall

FLUSHING, QUEENS — Beloved soup dumpling destination Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao announced Wednesday it will move to a new development on 39th Avenue in downtown Flushing.

Nan Xiang is moving just down the street from its location at 38-12 Prince St., which closed in May, to a space of more than 5,000 square feet in the new mixed-use development known as One Fulton Square.

The official announcement confirms reports that Nan Xiang would reopen this fall rather than permanently closing, as owner Tai Ma had planned.

The new restaurant will be able to accommodate 150 diners, and its employees will be bilingual, according to a spokesperson for One Fulton Square.

Nan Xiang will serve its famous crab and pork soup dumplings, in addition to several new Shanghainese-style dishes.
