No. 51 in the world · November 2026
Nanxiang Mantou Dian
No. 51The one to order
Crab and pork xiao long bao from the upstairs dining room (skip the takeaway window)
The Nanxiang shop claims the xiao long bao began with its founder in 1871; this Yu Garden shop is where the claim lives.
Make it at home
Xiao long bao (soup dumplings)
6 hr (mostly chilling the jelly), about 1 hr 15 min hands-on · About 32 dumplings, 4 people. The soup inside is a jellied stock folded into the filling cold; it melts in the steamer. Make the jelly the day before and the rest is a long, happy afternoon of pleating.
