always busy place, but worth waiting for the table.
Joe's Shanghai is one of my favorite spots in China town. They have very traditional menu such as soup dumpling, boiled bok choy and eggplant in garlic sauce. Food is overall excellent and the price is good too. The service isn't so great but food makes up for it.

Joe's Shanghai is popular with the tourists
Joe's Shanghai is alright; it's not great and there are definately better places to get your Shanghai fix in Chinatown. However, one thing Joe's Shanghai does have going for it is that all the tourists and Chinatown visiters seem to make a pit-stop there. The wait staff is very nice and accomodating (they have chopsticks that are rubberbanded together so that it will be easier for children and non-Asians to use) of their customers. The food isn't really cheap, but once people give it a try, they usually go back.

Great eats.
Like most Chinese restaurants in Chinatown Joe's Shanghai Restaurant is often packed during lunch time. You might have to wait a little while before you are seated or you might be asked to share a table with strangers. Once you get seated order the soup dumplings right away as it takes a while for them to cook it up fresh. So worth it though as they are delicious.

Yum!
Joe's Shanghai is actually very filling. My girl friends and I often go after school to relax and enjoy some hot, tasty soup dumplings. Service is quick and to-the-point. There isn't nearly enough seating to accomodate the customers, so you might have to share a table. The price is definitely within everyone's range.

Authentic Chinese food, popular NY establishment
Everyone in NY has been to Joe's in Chinatown for Chinese. Its dumplings are some of the best around, and the rest of the food is similarly tasty. You will wait for a table on most nights, but it is worth it. You also have to sit with strangers mostly with a lazy susan in the middle to have the food passed around so it is fun to go with big groups of people. Don't visit the bathrooms here - they are unbeliveably dirty.

Completely Overrated
This place is completely overrated. It is flooded with tourists who live by the Zagat. They may have changed things a bit since I went, but the last time I was there, we were sharing a table with complete strangers. Talk about odd. There are better soup dumplings a couple blocks away in a better atmosphere.

Great Chinatown spot
Often known as too touristy, I think Joe's is great for a Chinatown experience that isn't too overwhelming. The soup dumplings are great (although not as good as New Green Bo), and all the entrees I have tried (mainly food like kung po chicken) have been excellent. The ambiance leaves much to be desired, and it is relatively expensive for Chinatown, but still a spot not to be missed. I highly reccomend Joe's.

Soup Dumplings!!
I love this restaurant. It has the best soup dumplings EVER. I have gone to other restaurants that also have soup dumplings but they can't compare to the ones at Joe's. The Scallion pancakes, and any noodles dishes are delicious. i always walk out full satisfied and full.
But be prepared for a long wait, especially if you decide to go during the busy lunch or dinner hours. I have waited over 2 hours for a table once. I find the staff service okay. Some are more friendly and polite then others. Sometimes you feel rushed because they are trying to get you in and out quickly to serve the next group of people wait. But the food is so good.. Who cares?
