Savory soup dumplings filled with hot broth & other Shanghai fare at this no-frills spot.
"Plenty of restaurants serve good soup dumplings, but Joe's is the one that kickstarted New York's obsession when it opened in Flushing in 1994. Filled with a scalding broth, these purse-shaped dumplings were an immediate hit." - Eater Staff
"New York has an obsession with xiao long bao, or soup dumplings, which originated in 19th-century Shanghai. One of the city’s go-to institutions is Joe’s Shanghai, which launched in Flushing, Queens, in 1994 and became so popular that it opened a second location in Manhattan’s Chinatown the next year. To this day, locals and tourists alike crowd both spaces for a taste of the handmade dumplings filled with hot, meaty broth, which are rolled and steamed to order. Featuring a thin skin made from flour and water, they come in two flavors: pork meat and crab with pork meat." - Natalie Beauregard
"Diners at this venerable Flushing institution are greeted with menus and a dish of black vinegar dipping sauce, as it’s practically a given that you’ll be ordering their famous xiao long bao here." - The MICHELIN Guide
