Joe's Shanghai is a chain of 3 Shanghai-style Chinese restaurants in New York City, New York, which has developed a cult following. It is famous for its exotic soup dumplings (Chinese: Xiaolongbao). Joe's Shanghai has been cited by several notable magazines such as Time Out New York and has won 1998 Eating and Drinking Awards.[1] Its main location is in Flushing.[2]

Soup dumplings
The most drawing aspect of Joe's Shanghai is acclaim for their cuisine, in particular, the pork or crab meat soup dumplings [3][4] (Chinese: Xiaolongbao), listed on the menu as "steamed buns," in which the soup is actually inside the dumplings. This is achieved by thickening the soup with gelatin and putting it in as a solid. When the dumplings are later steamed, the solids melt back into liquid soup within the outer dumpling casing.[5]
It has been repeatedly recognized by Zagat as one of the top dining locations in Chinatown.[6][7]
