Good Chinese food in authentic atmosphere with cheap Tsingtao. I recommend the Beijing Duck.

Why get in line @Joe'sShanghai or @NomWah when you've got Joe's Ginger around the corner? Seriously delicious soup dumplings &scallion pancakes, it won't hurt to be adventurous and try something new!

Ambiance: poor. Service: okay. Food: absolutely delicious. Try the soup dumplings (soup-er juicy 😄), crispy shredded beef, and the scallion pancake. CASH ONLY!

So much better than Joe's Shanghai! I prefer the straight-up pork dumplings to the pork & crab. Try one of their fried rice dishes, you won't regret it.

Soup dumplings. Peking duck is also good - comes with pancakes, hoisin, scallions and cucumbers - but not enough to cost $21. Either way - if there's a wait at joe's shanghai.... Just come here!

soup dumplings. chow fun. pan fried noodles. the veggies. all were solid and so cheap. best part: you don't have to wait for a table.

Same owner of joe’s shanghai, same food : soup dumplings obviously. They have the beef version here tho compare to the other location. It’s usually less crowded here

Joe's Shanghai & Joe's Ginger are on same block, serve same soup dumplings. Don't wait two hrs outside former, when u can walk in and be seated at the latter.

SOUP DUMPLINGS! But beware, don't bite into it too quickly or you'll burn your mouth. Scallion pancakes are really good as well.
Whitney WattApril 20, 2013
The pork soup dumplings were delicious. I also got the chicken lo mein and loved it! Everything is good here

The sweet and sour fish and tofu Szechuan style are absolute favorites. Soup dumpling are also a must.

The best soup dumplings! Get the pork dumpling and order the green onion pancake (warning: the pancake is greasy).
naveenAugust 23, 2010
the menu is long (as menus often are in this neighborhood), but you only need order the first two things on the menu. #1. crab meat soup dumplings. #2. pork soup dumplings.

The soup dumplings are supposed to be from the same kitchen but there is a marked difference. Generally speaking it's minor but for people who've been going there forever it's very very apparent.

Go here instead of Jo's Shanghai. Same menu/chefs. Same awesome legendary dumplings. Wonderfully civilized atmosphere and friendly service unlike its tourist trap neighbor.

Vegetarian dumplings not good, scallion pancakes too crispy for my liking and vegetable bun was good but vegetables in it could’ve been more flavorful. Not for vegetarians given options in the area
Jackson ShihSeptember 25, 2010
As many have said...same owners/cooks as joe shanghai (tourist trap). Get the CRAB soup dumplings. I'm an eyewitness to the staff cracking open real crab for their dumplings!
James McKayMarch 27, 2013
Short-tempered waiters and good food. No frills but fun. Shorter queues than Joe Shanghai just a few doors down.
Jeff HuJune 12, 2011
Try shanghai thick noodle stirfry, YES! (Recommended a guy grew up from shanghai). Be aware of the only lady staff at the cash counter tho, very impatient!
Дмитрий КобзарьJanuary 2, 2013
You really need to order 2-3 dumpling soups that to satisfy yourself. It's cheap and tasty!!!

This place is the same as Joe's Shanghai, minus the crowds. Order lots of soup dumplings and scallion pancakes.
Lauren PetersonMarch 10, 2013
Do not order the vegetable dumplings....but get the pork soup dumplings sooooooo amazing
Marco LienhardAugust 16, 2014
Actually the best is the pork soup dumpling the crab is more expensive and has almost no crab I would not bother so much for other dishes
Terrondous TanAugust 25, 2013
if its the middle is summer ask to sit upstairs as there is AC upstairs but none on the main level
Susan SearsSeptember 3, 2011
The sauted seasonal greens, snow pea shoots, are delicious, and they are not on the menu?
Aminah VascoFebruary 9, 2014
I would just recommend trying the soup dumplings and maybe thats it😁

Come here instead of the roach, rat, and tourist infested Joes Shanghai !
erin parrAugust 25, 2009
Soup dumplings are awesome. Go here instead of Joes Shanghai.. its practically next store, shares the same cooks/menu, and you don't have to wait for a table!
Peter MoyAugust 5, 2013
Same soup dumplings as Joe's Shanghai in a less hectic atmosphere.
Zlata ZubenkoOctober 15, 2019
Got the soup dumplings and was majorly disappointed 😞 Tough shell, not a lot of soup inside. Not a lot of flavor either. Sad.
Neil ArmstrongSeptember 5, 2010
The soup dumplings is comparable, not as good as queens location though, fish (seabass) ordered wasn't as fresh though:(. If u want dumplings without the wait of other spot, come over here!

Completely agree with other tippers, the Soup Dumplings are other worldly...
Pete LevinJuly 29, 2012
Come with 15 people so you can just order one of everything!
Johannes SchunterMarch 10, 2012
Wow, the pork soup buns are to die for!

Truely miserable guy serving - dire atmosphere!
Andrew MoldovanDecember 9, 2012
Don't order a beer! It'll end up being more than the dumplings
Amy MaJune 28, 2015
Food ranges from terrible to mediocre. The only safe option is the XLB. Beware the nasty lady manager.
Escott HayashidiazMay 18, 2016
Joe's Shanghai goodness without the crowds.
