Nanjing Gourmet is an absolute powerhouse for freshly pleated xiao long bao—delicate, micro-thin wrappers yielding to a rush of scalding, intensely savory broth. The pork and crab iteration? Pure xian. It’s a bustling, high-energy dining room where direct, lightning-fast service keeps the tables turning. Noodle chasers are obsessed with the Dan Dan bowls, slicked in a brilliantly nutty sauce with flawless texture.
