JiangNan Boston

JiangNan on Tremont Street gives you a good reason to order dinner for the table. Peking duck, soup dumplings and grilled fish are among its signature dishes, with a menu drawing from several regions of China. You can start with dumplings and build a meal around a larger shared plate, rather than having everyone commit to a separate entrée.

The Boston restaurant sits across from the Common, convenient for dinner around the Theater District. Peking duck is available as a half portion, useful when there are only two of you. Bacon and vegetable fried rice offers something familiar alongside the larger dishes. Takeout and delivery are available when you want the food without making an evening of it.
