Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant

Today I ate with my friend at Joe’s Shanghai on 9 Pell Street, across the street from Confucius Plaza. We started off with a pork wonton soup which a friend recommended. It was definitely not up to my taste, the texture was dry, the taste reminded me of cardboard and the soup was nothing special. The next dish was the famous Joe’s Shanghai dumplings(pork) which every shanghai restaurant has. The dish was steaming hot when the waiter placed it to our table. I haven’t had this for a while but it tasted just like I expected. The hot inner soup and the soft pork meat were hmmm yummy. We wind up ordering another dish right after. I ordered for myself the Singapore noodles, which was OK. I was really hungry plus it was few dishes that was under $10 bucks.

It was a good Saturday crowd, the waiting was out the door when I left. Overall I rate this place 3 out of 5.
