Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao is one of those XLB restaurants that is not often brought up in the XLB fights because it’s not that accessible. The original location is in Flushing, so it’s a bit far from Manhattan. Many people do end up going to Joe’s Shanghai to get their fix, but fortunately now a Manhattan location of this restaurant has opened in Koreatown. I had originally gone to the Flushing location and said the following:

Terrible BBQ. Go here for cheap stale dry meats in tourist hell. Oh apparently it’s permanently closed.

Interesting bar. Bar upstairs is cool. Piano bar downstairs is really KEWL.
