I have to admit I was not a believer that this place had the best soup dumplings. For those of you who do not know what soup dumplings are, they are little morsels of heaven. A celebration of the senses of you will. Each pork dumpling is encased with a layer of wrap. The best part is the soup though. Each dumpling is moist because the dumpling skin also holds a little bit of soup inside. Don't bite into the dumpling outright. You will burn the inside of your mouth. Poke a hole into the dumpling and drain it into your spoon and sip the soup then dip the dumpling into the soy sauce - vinegar mix then enjoy. I have ordered other dishes but I always come back to this one.

Last Friday around 6:15pm, we had a party of 10 adults w/out reservation but since it was early, we were willing to wait. Waited 30 minutes for large table. Table finally free but was given to party of 4 adults and 2 children because all my party was not present! (we had 5 adults in our party waiting with the other 5 adults walking from the municipal parking lot 1 minute away) This was explained to the so called manager . Without explanation or apology, the table was given to the other party. As this restaurant have only 2 large tables and the other large table was just ordering, this means that we will not be seated for at least another hour! All this after coming in early and waiting for over 30 minutes!! By the way, the second occupied large table had only 4 adults seated and while we were waiting, other members of their party drifted in one after another. I have eaten at this restaurant many times and noticed they treat Westerners better than Asians, but have never experienced it firsthand. Being Chinese-American, I am distressed to be treated this way. (The other parties at the large tables were Westerners) I have always enjoyed the food at this restaurant and will miss it. But I will not spend my money where it is not appreciated. (We went to Imperial Seafood down the street and spend $300 for our party of 10). It has taken over a week to decide if I should post this review. I have spoken to numerous friends and was surprised to find that I was not only Asian-American who was treated in this manner by this restaurant. Shame on Joe Shanghai for a terrible experience. I hope they read this and change their ways.

this place is known for their pork steam buns. and they're worth it! the crab is $2 more but i honestly don't taste a difference. the soup inside the buns is hot, and you have to order them when you're seated. they taste great and the staff is fast. they also make great shrimp & chicken with plum sauce and their noodle dishes are great also. But if you go you have to try the pork steam buns. Read the instructions on how to eat them before you toss the whole thing in your mouth.
