About Nan Xiang
For nearly 20 years, Nan Xiang has been redefining what Chinese cuisine can be in America. What began as a single restaurant in Flushing, Queens, has grown into one of the country's fastest-growing restaurant brands, recognized for our award-winning soup dumplings, handcrafted dishes, and authentic hospitality. As we continue expanding nationwide, we're building a marketing team that combines creativity, data, and innovation to introduce more guests to the Nan Xiang experience. If you're excited about building something - not just maintaining it - we'd love to meet you.
