Superb Chinese
This is a very popular choice in Chinatown, on arrival you collect a numbered ticket and wait on the pavement Well worth the wait as the food is excellent and authentic We tried the soup dumplings, ( you need a good technique to eat these ) the Peking Duck and the Scallion pancake, all were delicious Finally the Kung Po chicken and special fried rice was plenty of food , and plenty to then takeaway for the following day Love to return
Be the first to ReplyGreat food. Terrible service at the door
If it werenโt for the extremely rude way we were treated at the door, I would have given 5 stars. When we arrived, we were told 40 minute wait. It was very cold outside and after more than an hour of standing on the sidewalk waiting, we went into the vestibule to warm up. The hostess very rudely tried to shoo us out (like we were street urchins!) there we noticed she had already crossed our number off the list. We brought it to her attention and she (this ACTUALLY HAPPENED) turned her back to us and put her hand up. Thankfully another worker was there who seated us right away. Once we were seated, the food and the service were both great. Iโm thinking the girl who was working the door should find a different job.

My wife and I ate an early dinner here as it was next door to our hotel, we were so glad we did. This was the best Chinese food we have ever experienced, that includes what I have tried in China. It was also the cheapest meal we had in New York. The staff were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in helping decide what we should order. You cannot book for here you simply turn up and get a ticket number, we only waited approximately 15 minutes. Don't be put off by the que outside as many are waiting for take away.

We were staying next door and the hotel advised us of Joeโs Shanghai. The line of people waiting outside said it all really. We went twice during our visit and it was fantastic. No matter where youโre staying in the city itโs worth a visit.
Be the first to ReplyExtremely delicious!!!
We get the suggestion via Foursquare since we were in Chinatown and wanted something near us, so we look for it and IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! A little bit crowded but they managed to sit us with some other group. Totally worth it, best steamed dumplings ever.

Loved this place. We were seated quickly. Servers were very attentive. Service was fast. Food was delicious. We ordered the soup dumplings of course. They did not disappoint. We also ordered the crispy beef and a spicy prawn dish. Everything was really yummy. The restaurant is a tad pricey, but portion sizes were good. We werenโt able to finish everything. Will definitely be back on my next trip.

We ordered take aways from Joe's . It was extremely disappointing and they got the order wrong . The food was not fresh . I will never order from Joe's again.

Worth getting lost in Chinatown to eat here! After reading reviews and seeing the lineup outside, it must be one of the best restaurants ever! The pork dumpling broth was so flavourful..I wish they opened up in Montreal!

The food is bland: salt pepper crispy duckling; spring roll; black mushrooms with bamboo, and jelly fish with sesame oil; the commonality seems to be a dull saline brine with some low rent seasoning. Itโs very uneventful and pricey culinary, maybe try one of the smaller venues on the side streets, or north on Bowery.
Be the first to ReplyI felt like I was in a Times Square " churn and turn" .
It's very popular, a couple weeks ago, I saw Woody Allen go in with Rosemary's baby. Always a line outside. the front desk ladies were very polite, very helpful,but, our waiter was surly, inattentive and forgot to bring (ala cart orderd)rice and hot tea of all things. the dumplings were just ok, service was rushed, rude and not executed well with dropped orders for the basic fare! really dissapointed!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing soup dumplings
LOVE. First time here and I can't believe I haven't been here more often. We were worried that since there were no reservations there would be a wait but we went 5:30pm on a Wednesday and got in immediately. Others were waiting in line when we left though. MUST TRY: soup dumplings (we had the pork) and the scallion pancakes to start. Amazing. I could go there and just eat soup dumplings. Then we got a variety of noodles and fried rice. The portions were pretty big depending on the dish - some larger than others. We took leftovers to go. Delicious - go there. Lots of variety, quick service, so good. Cash only! And the waiters did kind of stand around close by our tables.

Visited with my wife. Food was good but experience was let down by rude, impatient and unhelpful staff and lack of atmosphere.

A NY staple, Joeโs is the best place for soup dumplings in the city. Always crowded and there is usually a line, but it is worth the wait. The scallion pancakes and the crispy beef are wonderful choices too.

I've been coming here 20 years and it NEVER disappoints. The soup dumplings ARE as good as they say. I'm happy they moved to a bigger location. My only issues were the service (the wait system is archaic) and the cash only policy (ATM machines in the front are pricey as hell), but other that the 1 hour wait was worth it and something I expected because it's a solid product that I'm always pleased with. Crispy beef, lo mein and dumplings are a must try.

PROS
Position, price is awesome and quantity of food is great. Awesome starters, it has to be underlined.
CONS
Service might improve - at entrance especially (40+ mins to get in), food so-so and โcash onlyโ place (ATM inside with 4$ commission OR get there with money, uncommon in 2022 @NYC)
We had great expectations and they have been missed
Best soup dumplings we have ever had.
We go there for the best soup dumplings around. Fortunately we got there just as they opened and didnโt have a wait for a table. Service was quick and attentive. No problems there. We also ordered a dish of vegetable lo mein that was fine but didnโt quite measure up to the soup dumplings. The good news is that their new location on Bowery is a shorter walk than their old location on Pell Street. In fact it seems bigger and nicer. Please note that they automatically add an 18 percent service charge to your bill. So check your bill before adding tip. Oh, by the time we left there was a line outside waiting to get in. A very popular place indeed.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful Chinese low scale restaurant
The restaurant (located in Bowery) was recommended to us by a Chinese friend, and oh boy, did it not disappoint! We arrived late, 8:30pm on a Friday, and waited 30 min. It was pretty full. Make sure you get a ticket with the hostess, and hang around, they announce your number with a megaphone. The food selection is large and has mostly options for the โwesternโ taste. We ordered the soup dumplings with crab and pork (hard to eat but yummy), the scallion pancakes and shared a lo mein main course. Enough for 2 people to eat. It was a really tasty meal! The orange slices they give you when you pay are a nice touch. I would definitely go back. They serve sake!
4 stars because it is cash only.
Rude. Terrible service . auto 18% service fee
Traveled from cleveland , waited an hour assuming people were waiting because it was good. Wrong terrible food , and staff was even more rude rushed us and then determined their tip should be 18% . Terrible way better food in Cleveland. Overrated.

We ate at Joe's because it was highly recommended by friends. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. The waiting line was out the door. We were told the wait would be 30-45 minutes. The weather was warm and sunny, so we waited. And waited, and waited for well over75 minutes.
By that point we were quite hungry and hangry. Well , the pork and crab dumplings were terrific
. But were they worth the wait. I would say no. The main dishes we got were huge with each meal big enough for 2people, so we ordered too much food in our famished state. These dishes were also wonderful, but no meal is worth that amount of waiting. I would go again, but I would not wait that long for any food if I had known ahead of time.
Joe's slipping, he's getting old
About forty years ago Joe worked in a restaurant in Rego Park, New York. He made great soup dumplings and very few people knew about it (also soup dumpling wasn't well known either). His wife told all her friends and the word got around and made him famous. Now that after forty years of fame and wealth, he is definitely slipping with his food. Maybe because of the mass production, the skin is way too thick. There are much better Xiao Long Bao out there with thinner skins.
Another phenomenon of this restaurant is that all dining room staff are very young and certainly lack of hospitalization training. I honestly don't know if Joe is still around to manage this business. Hope he's listening.
