Joe’s Shanghai
9 Pell Street #1
New York, NY 10013
The first Joe’s
Shanghai originated in
Flushing, NY back in 1995. It has made its way to Chinatown and uptown,
New York, even across the world in
Japan. Although the appearance of the restaurant is not the most appealing, the food is absolutely delicious. Pricing is a little higher than other
Shanghai restaurants, but this is the absolute tourist attraction.
Regardless of the time during the day, expect to wait for seats. If you are traveling in a small group, expect to share your table with others. Don’t worry about having additional foods added to your bill, they’re good at keeping track of that. If you’re a first timer, the must order at Joe’s
Shanghai is the Pork and Crab Soup Dumpling of course. If you are allergic to crab, go for plain pork, but I think this is the combination is best soup dumpling I have had. A few of my other favorites are the Scallion Pancake and the Shanghai Rice Cakes.
The next time you’re in the area, forget about the dinky restaurant appearance and give it a try, you won’t regret it. Joe’s Shanghai kept in their roots of traditional Shanghai food, not altering their dishes to please a particular crowd.
