Joe's Shanghai

Fodor's Review:

Joe opened his first Shanghai restaurant in Queens in 1995, but buoyed by the accolades accorded his steamed soup dumplings—filled with a rich, fragrant broth and ground pork or pork-crabmeat mixture—he saw fit to open in Manhattan's Chinatown. There's always a wait, but the line moves fast. Try the crisp turnip shortcakes to start, homemade Shanghai noodles, and rich pork meatballs braised in brown sauce. Other, more familiar Chinese dishes are also excellent.
