Chinese people in NY know where to go when they want to eat steamed pork buns: Joe's Shanghai. There are several restaurants in the Joe's Shanghai chain, and the one in Flushing is average compared to the rest. The best Joe's is the one in the Manhattan Chinatown, but if you go there on a weekend evening, be prepared for a long wait. People come to Joe's Shanghai for its steamed soupy buns, but there is also a long menu for other chinese dishes that you would expect. If you eat here, order the steamed buns with crab filling. They cost more than the plain pork buns, but they are worth it! When you eat the buns, hold it up with your spoon, not chopsticks. When you bite into it, beware of the steaming hot juices inside. enjoy!
