Best Dumplings in Flushing

Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao

The Prince Street original that put Flushing soup dumplings on the map in 2006, now a glass-walled dumpling factory with East Coast outposts but a menu that still starts and ends with the classics.

Everyone else in the neighborhood is chasing this kitchen's broth-to-wrapper ratio, and two decades later nobody's caught it — QNS readers voted it Flushing's best dumplings again for 2026.

Order Pork and crab meat xiao long bao

Ask for the upstairs dining room instead of waiting for the ground floor — same kitchen, same menu, usually a shorter line.

A closet-sized, cash-only takeout window off Roosevelt Avenue with a laminated menu of 34 numbered dishes and one that everybody in line already knows to order.

No. 6 is the rare dish every guide, critic, and food-crawl agrees on without hedging — chewy wonton skins, chili oil that stings just enough, and pickled mustard root doing the real work underneath.

Order No. 6, pork wontons in hot sauce

Order by number, have cash ready, and eat at the ledge outside — there's no seating and the line moves fast if you're not fumbling for your wallet.
