Good Soup Dumplings But Little Else
Saturday, May 14, 2005
Joe's soup dumplings are indeed delicious and legendary and are worth a visit just to eat this delicacy. However, the rest of the extensive menu is largely average. Any chicken dish will feature dry, boneless, skinless chicken breast meat that one would encounter in any Chinese restaurant in greater Iowa. Joe's also likes to pour goopy sauces on all of their dishes so if you are watching either your fat or sodium intake, ask for it on the side.
Joe's legend is still alive so a wait is likely. Expect to dine at one of the large round communal tables seated next to other strangers eagerly awaiting a taste of Joe's legendary soup dumplings.
Pros: soup dumplings
Cons: likely wait, average Chinese menu
