We went to Joe's Shanghai to have a late lunch/early dinner yesterday. We arrived at 4 pm and the place was crowded and very noisy. We got a table just next to where the waiters where getting spoons...

The internet does not lie

Ok, well at least it does not lie about the dumplings. Went to Joe's based on internet reviews as I didn't know a thing about Chinatown options. Had the pork dumplings and they were excellent....

Great Crab and Port Dumplings
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 5 of 5 stars
While there is usually a wait and the table are a bit crowded. Think family style seating and plates. The food is amazing and the soup dumplings are the best I have ever eaten. Well worth the crowd...

Amazing dumplings!
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have already been to the mid-town location, so we decided to try the Chinatown restaurant.

Heavenly Chinese food
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 5 of 5 stars
Joe's has 3 locations, Chinatown, midtown and Flushing. I have eaten in 2 of them. Have been there many times. It is a bit pricier than many others in Chinatown but it didn't stop me. The menu is huge...

Dumplings anyone?
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
We went with a large party to Joe's Shanghai. The service was excellent and the food was delicous. My husband and kids love the juicy buns (dumplings with a hot juicy broth inside). Sadly, I do not...

We came and conquered!
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
Come hungry, eat fast and then you're asked to leave! The soup dumplings (xiao long paos)are worth the wait and the search for this place. The restaurant is located in an alley off the main street. IT...
