Joe's Shanghai

Stopped here for the soup dumplings and they did not disappoint! They were incincredibly delicious and flavorful! The service was quick and friendly. They are very popular so there was a little bit of a wait but its definitely worth waiting for! They also only take cash but do not worry because there is ATMs on site. That being said yoj definitely have to stop in here for the soup dumplings! The general tso chicken is also delicious a little heat with quick nice sweet crunch! Definitely would go back!

Super delicious and fast delivery! I tried this restaurant as my coworker recommended it as he’s “favorite Chinese restaurant in NYC”, and I can definitely see why. I ordered it for delivery to my hotel and the food was still steaming hot and well packaged to avoid spills. The green beans and beef had a delicious sauce and the pork soup dumplings were encased in the most chewy and flavorful dough. I was surprised that they included a warm sweet sesame ball with a flakey pastry. All in all it was a great experience especially for a delivery experience.

Highly recommend this place! It’s my favorite Chinese restaurant in NYC! I’ve been here multiple times and will definitely be back. The food tastes incredibly authentic - just like what I had in Shanghai. Everyone’s favorite dishes are the pork soup dumplings and the sticky crispy beef with orange peel - both are absolute must-tries. The crab soup dumplings are good too, though the pork ones are definitely the standout. Portions are generous, so I’d recommend sharing one main dish between two people. Just a heads-up: it’s cash only, and gratuity is already included in the bill.

Sorry to see midtown west location closed. Then, this downtown location now moved to new location good progress. One of the most reliable soup dumpling. Beef noodle soup and lo-mean also good. Cash only. Line in weekend.

I recently tried Joe’s Shanghai and the food was amazing! The chicken was incredibly tender, and the sauce was packed with flavor—it really stood out. The white rice was perfect: soft, fluffy, and not clumped together like it usually is at other places. The portion size was generous, easily enough for two people. Overall, a delicious and satisfying meal. On top of that, the delivery guy was excellent—prompt, friendly, and made sure everything arrived hot and in great shape.

FRIED PORK! Ok so apparently they are extremely known for their soup dumplings which we obviously ordered… and yes they were very good. However the fried pork entree which we split amongst 6 grown men, was by far the best pork I have eaten. The pork was served with a side of salt and sauce. Mouth watering and fried to perfection. The restaurant is very big and was packed which is always a good sign. I have nothing but amazing things to say. My one suggestion is to ask for a side of chili oil. Not too spicy but just enough kick.

My husband has been wanting to come here since we arrived to NY.  We went this past Sunday night with two of our friends.  We arrived around 7pm and only had to wait about 15-20mins before they were able to seat us - considering this place is always busy and there's no way to reserve a table in advance it felt pretty quick to get a table.  We ordered a number of dishes to share, my favorites were the braised pork and the pork+crab soup dumplings.  We also tried the chicken fried rice, chow main noodles, more dumplings, and pancake.  This place is cash ONLY, so make sure you stop by the ATM first.  It was a rainy and cold Sunday in NY so this was the perfect warm and cozy meal.
