About 金陵小吃 Nanjing Gourmet

Haymarket dumpling devotees head straight to this Dixon Street stall for fresh, soup-filled xiao long bao and rare regional bites. Delicate, handmade skins pinch tight around scalding spoonfuls of savory broth—the crab and pork basket delivers pure xian. It runs like a classic Asian open-air food stall: grab an outdoor pedestrian table, order fast, and watch Chinatown roll by. Regulars swear by the Dan Dan bowls tossed in a thick, nutty sauce, but the true insider move is the duck giblet vermicelli soup, brimming with tender offal and a clean, restorative broth.

  • Handmade Xiao Long Bao: Freshly pleated soup dumplings with delicate, thin wrappers packed with hot savory broth and fillings like crab and pork.
  • Nanjing Broths & Noodles: Regional duck blood and giblet vermicelli soup in a clean, savory broth, alongside nutty Dan Dan noodles.
  • Chinatown Street-Stall Setting: An informal walk-up stall on Dixon Street with quick turnover and outdoor tables built for people-watching.

  • Delicately Wrapped Steamed Dumplings

    Diners frequently praise the thin dumpling skin that yields immediately to rich soup and well-seasoned fillings.

    The skin is thin and soft, while the filling is tasty and fresh!

    A signature regional staple featuring tender duck offal and blood curd simmered in a savory, aromatic broth over springy vermicelli.

  • Salt Water Duck

    We got hungry so ordered a grab and go salt water duck. It was pretty nice with the table chili sauce.

  • Dan Dan Noodles

    The noodles were full of flavour with a delicious nutty, savoury sauce that wasn’t too heavy, and the texture was perfect.

Before you head over

Practical pointers on seating, timing, and ordering at this Chinatown street food stall.

  • Outdoor Street Seating

    Expect open-air pedestrian dining with simple street tables along Dixon Street rather than a full indoor setup, or take meals to go.

  • Arrive Early for Key Items

    Arrive earlier in the day or during off-peak times, as popular specialty items can sell out later on and lines can form during rushes.

  • Check Weekend Surcharges

    Weekend visits may carry additional surcharges on both Saturday and Sunday, so keep this in mind when budgeting for premium soup dumplings.
