Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao to Open in Framingham

A group of Michelin-recommended Shanghainese soup dumpling restaurants is bringing the first location of its original concept to Eastern Massachusetts.

According to posts from Kiat Cormier of the ChewOnThis Facebook page, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao is planning to open soon in Framingham, with the website for the group of dining spots indicating that it will move into a space on Route 9 within a shopping plaza across from Shoppers World. Once it opens, the new location of Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao--which started out in the Flushing part of Queens in 2006--will join locations of its fast-casual concept Nan Xiang Express in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood and Shrewsbury.

The address for the upcoming Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in Framingham is 84 Worcester Road (Route 9), Framingham, MA, 01702. The website for all locations is at https://nanxiangxiaolongbao.com/
