“ I came here on valentines day and it was quite busy but the service was still great. The dishes are all very flavorful but we definitely should have ordered a bowl of rice to cut down the oil. The Peking duck is always a go to order for special occasions and it was surprisingly sweeter than expected but still good. The passion fruit drink was definitely worth its value. I'd want to come back to try their other drinks. We were also served free desserts at the end and they were delicious! ”
“ This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant in the area. I've been a dozen times in person and ordered online a couple times, and Jiangnan never disappoints. Some of our favorites include the braised pork belly, mapo tofu, cumin lamb, lotus root appetizer, and the salted egg yolk jumbo shrimp (super unique!) In addition to the food, the service is great too. The food comes fast and staff is super attentive -- they noticed immediately when my friend and I dropped our chopsticks and brought us new pairs right away. I don't think they do reservations unless you have a really big group but they do have a Yelp waitlist and I've been able to walk in most times with no wait. ”
“ Hit after hit after hit, they don’t stop. Brought my Chinese parents for a birthday dinner reservation (rez suggested, as it gets packed after 7:30 PM) and we went hard at the menu. All food dishes were incredible, although the soup dumplings came out after our mains (they bring food immediately when ready and dumplings take a little longer). The spicy tripe, green beans, tofu, cucumber pork, dan dan noodles, and lotus dishes were all delicious. They don’t serve alcohol, so the final bill was a joy to see. We tried the mixed fruit and passionfruit juices, and the passionfruit was slightly too sweet for me (and served with a straw too narrow to catch any of the fruit bubbles). There was no complimentary dessert despite it being a birthday reservation. Street parking wasn’t too tough despite it being a Friday night. I try not to frequent the same restaurant twice, but I’m tempted to come back! ”
“ Outstanding experience at Jiangnan NJC. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional. Whether dining in or taking out, everything is handled with care and professionalism. Easily one of the best Chinese dining experiences in the area. Highly recommend. ”
“ We went for dinner at this restaurant and it was an amazing experience. The food was really really good. There were enough vegetarian options for me. The staff was also able to make changes to some of the items to ensure they were vegetarian. The pineapple "beer" was incredible as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Fantastic Chinese food in a beautifully designed restaurant. The service is attentive and friendly. My favorite dish is the spicy beef tongue — it’s juicy, moderately spicy, and incredibly tender! I also recommend Peking duck - the duck skin is quite crispy ”
“ Great, spot for Chinese fusion and authentic flavors. It's BYOB so they don't serve alcoholic beverages. However, there is a liquor store right next door. Each dish was unique and had its own robust flavor profile. We ordered quite a few items, and there was something that each of us enjoyed most. Each dish reviewed below: Peking Duck - I personally loved the Peking Duck the most. It was just as everyone else described- juicy, crunchy, flavorful. Will definitely be coming back for this. Stir fried cabbage with pork belly - Another highlight. This was such a pleasant surprise as it was soooo flavorful and complex. Deep fried chicken with dough and dried pepper- This dish was very good however I expected it to be much more spicy. It definitely has a kick, but I was hoping for more. Hand peeled crab meat- this was the favorite dish of my dining partner. I also enjoyed it, but preferred other dishes over this one. Kimchi cheese fried rice - This was the first time trying this dish, my dining partner again really enjoyed this, but it wasn't my favorite. Stewed egg with truffle - a nice start to the dinner. The truffle flavor is great but the dish lacked a bit of salt which would have made everything come together much more cohesively. Pork soup dumplings- A must order, very flavorful and tasty. ”
“ The Peking duck is delicious and definitely a must-pick dish if you're dining here! The service is attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A great spot for a satisfying Chinese meal and warm hospitality. ”
