Profile

To alleviate the mayhem at the Pell Street address of Joe's Shanghai—an hour's wait for a table is not uncommon—the owners have opened this spinoff a mere soup dumpling's toss away. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Do not order the pork-stuffed steamed buns. It is the worst dish I've ever had. Soggy buns stuffed with warm brown water with a horrible smell. The rest of the food was barely ok and not that cheap for the quality. Not worth it!

Customers beware!

I totally agree with Gopher9. The service is horrible at this restaurant and food is just ok. And yes, they charge you every single little thing, no free rice like it used to. All these waiters care is the tip in the end, not about providing you with good service. Also, customers beware when you get your bill. Make sure you check it before paying, because they rip customers off by adding one or two items that you didn't order or they add tips in your bill already without telling you. That's how they get their extra tips! I know this for a fact. No need to complaint to the owner because she is the who's doing it. In general, I won't recommend going back there at all! but if you do, good luck! Better off wait at Joe's Shanghai and get better food and service there.
