Diners searching for Shanghainese soup dumplings should head to this place, the cousin of New York City's Michelin-recommended Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao restaurant. Now one of a small chain, this fast-casual modern Chinatown newcomer boasts hearty food served in to-go containers that you can eat in-house—if you can find an open seat. Try the myriad dumpling flavors and styles, fried udon noodles, and other belly filling dishes.
This Chinatown newcomer pairs art deco decor (the lights! the columns! the floor!) with fresh, scratch-made Shanghainese food in a comfortable environment. No menus here—order straight from your phone at any time during your stay. Menu standouts include the rainbow soup dumplings delivered to your table in a bird cage, Peking duck deconstructed with pancakes, and the sweet and sour pork ribs; everything is ordered via your smartphone. Patrons include young adults from the Chinatown community and nearby Emerson and Suffolk University grad students.
