Pros: The food...oh my, the food!
Cons: Simple atmosphere, if you would consider it a "con"
Summary: If I had to recommend one Chinese restaurant in the five boroughs of New York, "Joe's Shanghai" would be it. This very popular, highly successful eatery presently has four locations, two in Manhattan and two in Queens. Of these, I have been to the one ...

Pros: Great steamed buns
Cons: decor is lacking
Summary: Steamed buns come in different forms based on the region in China. Perhaps the best kind is from the Shanghai region. Joe's Shanghai specialized in xiao long bao (little steamed buns). Their buns with crab meat is out of this world. You have to know...

Cons: long waits

Pros: Delicious and different
Cons: A bit more expensive
Summary: Joe’s Shanghai is not just another Chinese restaurant. The newest branch at 24 West 56th Street (phone number (212) 333-3868)is a very nice addition to Midtown. You enter into a small bar area and are then taken upstairs to a relatively simple, but...

Pros: Yummy Food, Low Price, Friendly Staff
Cons: Expect to wait, no matter when you go

Pros: amazing dumplings
Cons: wait forever and a day for a table
Summary: I made my first-ever trip to New York during the first couple of weeks of January, 2000 (so maybe I'm not cosmopolitan -- sue me). Suffice to say, I didn't know a single person in New York, other than the people with whom I traveled, and those people...
