For those who cherish the vibrant tapestry of flavors, the recent opening of the Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in King of Prussia is an exciting development.
Walking into Nan Xiang, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. I was greeted by a kind front-of-house staff member who connected me with the manager. She guided us to a cozy table near the bar to chat about the ins and outs of this new location.
The atmosphere was alluring—hand-painted holiday figures adorned a few glass windows, and the rich reds, beige, and golds of the décor wrapped me in a sense of comfort. The open kitchen, stationed in the back, invites diners to take a peek as the chefs skillfully prepare each dish from scratch. It’s clear from the outset that freshness is a priority at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao.
The spacious layout creates a relaxed dining experience, giving room for patrons to enjoy their meals at a leisurely pace. When speaking with the manager this is especially evident for what set this location apart: the bar— the first of its kind for Nan Xiang, where guests are encouraged to savor their time, enjoying both cocktails and full entrees without feeling rushed.
