Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao
There are a few reasons to cross the bridge into New Jersey: cheaper gas and avoiding pumping it, the shore, and the dumplings at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. With its massive dining room, long tables, and an atmosphere as buzzy as a high school cafeteria, the Shanghainese dumpling spot is perfect for big groups. The Cherry Hill spot has some of the best pan-fried and soup dumplings in our neck of the woods. When you want range, go with the colorful assortment called “The Lucky 6,” which comes with a sampling of six different filling options like black truffle, scallop, and chicken. No matter which way you go, each bite will be tender, send a waft of fragrant steam straight to your face, and will be worth the toll.
