Joe's Shanghai

The draw here comes down to precision: the dumplings arrive with wrappers that hold together just enough to contain the hot broth. The rest of the menu features a variety of Shanghai dishes served in a sparse, no-nonsense setting. With popularity comes a fast-moving queue; service is quick, but expect a highly efficient, sometimes hurried turnaround when the room fills up. Finally, prepare your wallet: the dining room is a cash-only operation, though ATMs are available on-site.
