" What a delightful find in the French Quarter! Dian Xin perfectly balances authenticity with creativity. The menu featured traditional dishes with a twist, and everything we ordered was incredibly fresh. The stir-fried beef was incredibly tender, and the jianbing we tried was delicious. It made for a wonderful meal experience. Clean space and attentive service made it all the better. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to escape the typical tourist traps. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dian Xin offers a delightful escape from typical New Orleans cuisine with its authentic Chinese offerings. The dumplings were well made, and the staff were keen on making sure we were satisfied. I particularly enjoyed the noodle dishes, which were fresh and did not leave a greasy aftertaste. The only downside was the limited seating—definitely fill up quickly during peak times. I would advise going early! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a Chinese restaurant in the French Quarter, Dian Xin holds up well. The dishes are flavorful and portions are quite generous. The crab and crawfish xiāo lóng bāo were delightful! If you enjoy traditional tastes combined with a twist, this is a must-visit. The space might feel cramped during busy hours, but the atmosphere is friendly. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try this well-rated restaurant, and it didn’t disappoint! The dumplings were fresh and delicious, and the flavor was spot on—just as good as what I've had in NYC! I loved the atmosphere as it wasn't overly crowded and felt cozy enough to enjoy my meal. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Chinese dining experience in NOLA. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of the dishes is undeniable at Dian Xin. The portion sizes were very good for the price. My only complaint is that some dishes were a bit on the salty side for my taste. However, the authentic flavors really stood out, especially in their dumplings. Staff was friendly enough, and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. I will visit again soon to try different dishes!

" If you want a taste of proper Chinese cuisine in New Orleans, you should check out Dian Xin! The dumplings were the highlight for me. I have never tasted soup dumplings as good as these. The service was friendly but a bit slow since it was busy when we went, which led to a slight mix-up with our order. Nevertheless, the flavors were worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and Dian Xin did not disappoint! The xiao long bao was a highlight; the skin was delicate, and the broth inside was flavorful. The only downside was the wait time for our food, but the service was apologetic and attentive. The place was busy, but it added to the lively vibe. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
