About Joe's Ginger

Joe's Ginger offers good food at a good price, with signature dishes like Joe Shanghai fried flat noodles with shrimp and ravioli with broth. The restaurant is small but clean. The food is served quickly, and the staff is generally friendly, although some customers have found the service to be rude and inattentive. While some menu items are average, the #2 soup dumplings are a highlight, with delicious soup inside the dumpling that surprises many first-timers. Vegetable buns are also popular, but the restaurant does not offer vegetarian soup dumplings. A lesser-known location of Joe's Shanghai provides the same amazing soup dumplings and authentic Shanghainese dishes, with quick service and low prices, and is easier to get a table. The atmosphere is simple, and the place operates on a cash-only basis, with tips appreciated. Some reviews mention that the pork soup dumpling can be a bit salty, and the beef pan-fried noodle may be small for the price. The bean curd doesn’t have much marinade taste, and service can sometimes be slow or not very attentive. There is street seating, which might be okay during shoulder seasons, but some feel it affects the experience. The quality of the soup dumplings has decreased over time, possibly due to recipe changes. Despite some issues, the signature dishes make it a place worth trying for those who enjoy authentic flavors.
