Jiang Nan: The Elegance of the Yangtze Delta, Served in Flushing
Jiangnan — the land of canals and gardens south of the Yangtze — has fed Chinese poetry for centuries with its delicate, balanced cooking. Jiang Nan the restaurant brings that refinement to the heart of Flushing, in a dining room where a koi pond murmurs by the entrance and a carved Peking duck arrives like a small ceremony.
The Concept
The Flushing original grew from a mission its founders describe as inheriting the beauty of Chinese cuisine: regional Jiangnan and Shanghai traditions, seasonal ingredients, modern presentation. Recognition followed — a spot on the Michelin recommended list and coverage from national food press — along with sibling locations across the region, but the first dining room remains the flagship in spirit.
On the Table
The duck earns its fame: burnished skin, precise carving, warm pancakes. Beyond it, the menu rewards exploration — soup dumplings with delicate wrappers in pork or chicken, crispy river shrimp eaten shell and all, grilled whole fish, stir-fried beef with green peppers, and elegant seasonal specials that change with the market. Desserts and inventive drinks close the arc gracefully.
The Space
Every detail feels considered, from the fountain-and-dragon entrance to the hanging plants and the unusually generous spacing between tables — a rarity in Flushing. The effect is calm, polished and quietly romantic at dinner, while weekend lunches fill with families circling lazy Susans.
Who It’s For
Anniversary dinners that deserve a set change, hosts introducing friends to regional Chinese cooking beyond takeout, and families marking milestones over a whole duck.
Good to Know
Is booking necessary? For weekend evenings, yes — and pre-ordering the Peking duck guarantees the centerpiece.
Does it suit a romantic dinner? Unusually well; soft light and spacing between tables keep conversations private.
Are private events possible? Yes — the restaurant hosts banquets and private gatherings; ask about arrangements.
Anything for lighter appetites? Steamed fish, greens and soup dumplings compose a graceful lighter meal.
Is the menu family-friendly? Very — shareable format, mild-to-bold range, and children are welcomed warmly.

Had such a wonderful experience here! The food was incredibly tasty, especially the spicy chilli chicken and the Peking duck. The chilli chicken had the perfect amount of spice and flavour, and the Peking duck was crispy…
My first attempt to find a Chinese restaurant in the Flushing-Queens area did not disappoint, and this was the best place Google recommended. They've earned a string of Michelin stars, and not without reason. The service…
We had such a wonderful experience here! Every dish was full of flavour and made with such care.
A big thank you to the manager Hanson for the incredibly friendly and attentive service — we felt very well looked after!…
We ordered Peking duck to go, and it was really tasty. One nice option is that you can make a soup from the leftover duck bones or have them prepared in a salt-and-pepper sauce for about $15. This time we chose the salt-…
When I first visited the restaurant, the day was cold, rainy, and it was fairly empty. Our server, who may also have been the manager, was polite, though a little distant. The venue itself is beautiful, with elegant deco…
