Another week, another fabulous Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Joe's Ginger, a spot I had walked by numerous times, and just assumed was too touristy for me, is actually great! I stopped in recently and had a wonderful meal.
Scallion pancakes ($1.95) were crispy, flaky, and perfect.
Joe's Shanghai, right down the block from Joe's Ginger, is known for their great pork soup dumplings, I love them. Well, I'm happy to say that the pork and crabmeat soup dumplings ($6.25) at Joe's Ginger are fucking awesome! Order them.
Sweet and sour prawns are very tasty, a tad on the sweet side, but will be devoured in moments.
Roasted duck is one glistening delicious bird.
So for great chinese and superb soup dumplings, Joe's Ginger hits the spot.
