About Nanjing Dumpling 小金陵

Tucked into Haymarket, this Chinatown stalwart turns out handmade, broth-filled soup dumplings and steaming noodles at rapid speed without breaking a twenty. Grab a table near the glass window to watch the team fold dough in real time. Insiders bypass the basics and head straight for the xiao long bao—thin-skinned wrappers holding a rush of hot broth, whether spiked with sweet crab or earthy black truffle. The pan-fried beef dumplings hit the table with a crisp crust, while bowls of sliced beef vermicelli soup and spicy Dan Dan noodles round out a quick solo slurp or casual share feast. Finish with a cold soy milk to cut the chili oil heat.

  • Handcrafted Xiao Long Bao: Delicate, thin-skinned dumplings folded fresh behind the kitchen window, bursting with hot broth in crab and black truffle iterations.
  • Pan-Fried Beef Dumplings: Juicy beef filling encased in wrappers pan-fried crisp on the bottom for an essential crunch.
  • Hearty Noodle Bowls: Quick, comforting bowls including sliced beef vermicelli and Dan Dan noodles tossed with minced pork and chili oil.
  • Accessible Haymarket Comfort: Generous portions of dumplings and noodle soups served fast, with dishes consistently priced under $20.

Why Choose Nanjing Dumpling

Freshly folded soup dumplings, specialty truffle fillings, and quick sharing plates in Haymarket

  • Handmade, Soup-Filled Dumplings

    Signature soup dumplings are made fresh daily with delicate skins, yielding rich bursts of savoury broth with every bite.

    Their skin was thin and the soup contained in xiao long bao burst as I tried to eat it in whole.

Before you head over

Practical advice on queue timing, handling specialty soup dumplings, and sharing fast-arriving plates

    Peak meal hours draw heavy crowds and tightly packed tables. Plan to arrive early to avoid long queues outside the door.
