While some students are heading home, many are staying in the city for summer classes, internships, or simply enjoying a quieter New York. And with the dining halls closed for the season, finding a go-to meal spot just got a little more important!
Whether you're grabbing lunch between classes, meeting friends after work, or looking for a late-night bite after a long study session, we've got you covered with soup dumplings, noodles, fried rice, and all your comfort food favorites.
Our East Village location open until 2:00 AM every day, because summer schedules don't always end at dinner time!

Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most meaningful traditional holidays in Chinese culture, celebrated this year on June 19th 🐉🥢
The festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan, who devoted his life to his country and, according to legend, jumped into a river in sorrow after the fall of his homeland. People raced out on dragon boats to search for him and threw rice dumplings, known as Zongzi, into the water so fish would not disturb him. Over time, this became the origin of today’s Dragon Boat Festival traditions.
Zongzi are traditional sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, enjoyed during this holiday as a symbol of remembrance, care, and gathering with loved ones.
This year, Nan Xiang is introducing a limited-edition Zongzi Gift Set available from 6/1–6/28 featuring:
🥢 Savory Shanghai-Style Pork Zongzi
🍵 Sweet Matcha Red Bean Zongzi
Each set comes with a reusable basket-style bag, perfect as a cute lunch bag or everyday carry.
$28 per set/ limited availability while supplies last ✨

This Mother’s Day
Crafted by her. Shared at the table. 💐🥟
In celebration of Mother’s Day, we partnered with Long Island local pottery artist Alison Ryczek () to create our "Lucky Six Small Angular Stoneware Bowls" inspired by the signature colors of our Lucky Six Soup Dumplings.
Much like shaping each soup dumpling, forming pottery by hand requires precision, rhythm, and touch. That shared craftsmanship is what brought these two worlds together.
This set brings together color, texture, and intention, designed to be part of meaningful moments at the table.
"Lucky Six Small Angular Stoneware Bowls" will be aviable in-store starting 5/1. Watch the full story on YouTube (link in bio)!
