"There are other pleasures to be had here, too, such as the popular Shanghainese lion's head meatballs. Made from ground pork, the latter are incredibly light and lacquered with a dark, savory glaze."
"Despite stiff competition, these soup dumplings-soft and delicate with perfectly spiraled shoulders and a mouthful of lip-smacking golden broth wrapped inside-still stand a head above the rest. In fact, these chefs have made it their mission to ensure biting into them is a sensual experience."
"Everybody at Joe's Shanghai orders steamed dumplings, but there are many other wonderful ways to begin a meal. Recommended dishes: scallion pancake."
"Restraint is required. Try the dumplings and the turnip cakes."
"Don't miss the lion's head. The famous Shanghai meatball, which is so finely textured it seems as if it too must be made of chopped pork belly. These luxurious meatballs draped in cabbage (the mane) are extraordinary, so light they seem part mousse, part pate, part souffle."
"It has no shortage of loyal fans, descending en masse for Joe's cult-status crab-meat xiao long bao."
"The name Joe's Shanghai is inextricably bound to the restaurant's famous soup dumplings—little doughy beggars’ purses filled with pork or crab meat plus soup (the soup is inside the dumplings). Wonderful as these morsels are, though, the rest of Joe's admittedly pricey menu should not be overlooked."
"Delicate, savory and fun to eat, the signature soup dumplings at these Chinese staples are justly famous."
"The xiao lung bao at Joe's Shanghai are modestly listed on the menu as "steamed buns," but they are Shanghai soup dumplings. The chef has perfected the art of wrapping hot liquid in pastry: the filling is rich, light and swimming in hot soup."
"We shared an order of scallion pancakes, aka one of the best foods in the world. You dare resist the flat, layered, slightly chewy bread spotted with scallions and fried to thin-crusted heaven? NO."
