Nanxiang Mantou Dian (南翔馒头店)
Nanxiang Mantou Dian (南翔馒头店) in Yu Gardens is the original shop that started it all in downtown Shanghai and, according to some, the place many Shanghainese think of first when they think of xiao long bao. The brand was founded in 1900, and the Yu Gardens location has a Bib Gourmand. Nanxiang Mantou has a myriad of xiao long bao fillings, including pork, crab-pork, matsutake-pork, clam-pork, etc. They even have the supersized ones, the kind you suck out with a straw. Personally, I think it can be a bit of a hassle to go through the queues and hectic scene at Yu Gardens for XLB here, tourist trap as it is. It’s not as good as Lai Lai or Jia Jia, but if you’re touring the Gardens, it’s right there.
