The story
On Nimmanahaeminda Road Soi 5, Yangzi Jiang presents a refined take on Chinese cuisine, a style more Cantonese than the Teochew fare common in Chiang Mai. Housed in a contemporary white Lanna-style building, the restaurant has earned a spot in the Michelin Guide Chiang Mai, a recognition that feels earned rather than sought.
The menu leans heavily on dim sum, with steamed and fried options drawing consistent praise. Diners highlight the rice noodle rolls, particularly those filled with shrimp or seafood, noting the silky texture of the wrapper and the fresh, bouncy filling. Har gow (shrimp dumplings) and siu mai (pork and shrimp dumplings) are frequently ordered, as is the xiao long bao (soup dumplings), served steaming hot. Beyond the dim sum carts, the Peking duck is a signature dish, and the crispy pork belly earns repeated mentions for its perfect balance of crackling skin and tender meat. The salted egg yolk custard buns, with their molten lava-like center, are a sweet finish that many return for.
The atmosphere is welcoming, suited for both family gatherings and business meals. A private room is available, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. With ample parking and a location in the heart of Nimman, Yangzi Jiang offers a consistent, high-quality Chinese dining experience that justifies its Michelin nod.
