01 / Flushing / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao

Google Maps rating: 4.5 out of 5 · 7,288 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

Six-piece pork, crab-pork and chicken soup-dumpling orders appear on the group menu. Compare a single filling with its mixed Lucky Six selection; use the Flushing checkout for the branch price.

  • Classic pork soup dumplings: 6 pieces · Price not verified.
  • Crab-pork soup dumplings: 6 pieces · Price not verified.
  • Chicken soup dumplings: 6 pieces · Price not verified.
  • Vegetable soup dumplings: 6 pieces · Price not verified.

Menu is group-wide; exact Flushing availability must be checked. Prices absent from the source menu. Mala beef photograph is dated January 2026, not proof of current availability.

02 / Chinatown / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Joe's Shanghai

46 Bowery, New York, NY 10013

Google Maps rating: 4.2 out of 5 · 6,306 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

Two core fillings: pork or crab with pork. The restaurant describes broth enclosed in the wrapper and recommends ordering the dumplings when you sit down because they are made to order. Use 46 Bowery, rather than the former Pell Street address.

Google Maps rating: 4.3 out of 5 · 3,005 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

Kurobuta pork and crab-Kurobuta-pork xiao long bao appear on the national menu. New York has its own ordering page and a reservation link. A six-piece statement on a Las Vegas product page does not establish a New York serving.

  • Kurobuta pork xiao long bao: Count not published · Price not verified.

  • Chicken xiao long bao: Count not published · Price not verified.

No New York pickup prices obtained; leave them unstated. Food photograph is chain-wide promotional plating, not a dated New York order.

04 / SoHo / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Pinch Chinese

177 Prince Street, New York, NY 10012

Google Maps rating: 4.3 out of 5 · 979 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

Pork and chicken soup dumplings have the same $18 listed price. The menu does not print a piece count, so a per-piece comparison with four- or six-piece orders would be misleading.

  • Pork soup dumplings: Count not published · $18.00.
  • Chicken soup dumplings: Count not published · $18.00.
  • The restaurant permits only limited substitutions and asks diners to call for allergy details. Source ↗

Piece counts are not listed.

The Bao

13 Saint Marks Place, New York, NY 10003

Google Maps rating: 4.3 out of 5 · 1,394 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

The menu photograph lists six-piece orders: pork $11, chicken $12, crab $13 and black truffle $15. The coloured dumpling photograph is a separate menu presentation; wrapper colour does not establish its filling.

  • Kung Fu pork xiao long bao: 6 pieces · $11.00 · $1.83 per piece.
  • Crab-meat xiao long bao: 6 pieces · $13.00 · $2.17 per piece.

06 / Flushing / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Shanghai You Garden Flushing

135-33 40th Road, Flushing, NY 11354

Google Maps rating: 4.3 out of 5 · 2,557 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

The group menu names shrimp-pork, pork-mushroom, pork-Indian-aster and squash-shrimp-pork fillings. Several include pork even when the other ingredient leads the name. Prices and portion counts are not printed on the inspected page.

  • Shrimp-pork soup dumplings: Count not published · Price not verified.
  • Pork-mushroom soup dumplings: Count not published · Price not verified.
  • Pork-Indian-aster soup dumplings: Count not published · Price not verified.
  • Squash-shrimp-pork soup dumplings: Count not published · Price not verified.
  • The location page welcomes walk-ins. Source ↗

Current menu lists names without prices or serving counts. Lucky Six is described as six varieties; do not infer six-piece count from that wording alone. Group menu image is not a dated Flushing meal.

07 / East Village / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Che Li East Village

19 St Marks Place, New York, NY 10003

Google Maps rating: 4.5 out of 5 · 1,733 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

Four-piece servings make an order different from the six-piece sets elsewhere: pork $7, crab-pork $8, black-truffle-pork $10. Che Li’s Flushing branch publishes a different portion; this card uses East Village’s own menu.

  • Pork soup dumplings: 4 pieces · $7.00 · $1.75 per piece.
  • Crab-pork soup dumplings: 4 pieces · $8.00 · $2.00 per piece.
  • Black-truffle-pork soup dumplings: 4 pieces · $10.00 · $2.50 per piece.

Pan-fried wontons are not soup dumplings.

08 / Williamsburg / Broth-filled xiao long bao

Mr. Bao Williamsburg

208 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Google Maps rating: 4.1 out of 5 · 295 reviews · checked October 10, 2026. Google Maps rating & reviews ↗

The owner-linked Williamsburg ordering menu lists six pork soup dumplings at $9.50, blue-crab-pork at $10.50 and black-truffle-pork at $12.50. These are separate from seven-piece pan-fried jiaozi and four-piece fried buns.

  • Steamed pork soup dumplings: 6 pieces · $9.50 · $1.58 per piece.
  • Blue-crab-pork soup dumplings: 6 pieces · $10.50 · $1.75 per piece.
  • Black-truffle-pork soup dumplings: 6 pieces · $12.50 · $2.08 per piece.

This is the Bedford/Williamsburg menu linked by the owner site, not the Park Slope branch.
