Joe’s Ginger never disappoints: this cash only joint is rarely crowded, not like Joe’s Shanghai, victim of its success, being in plenty of tourist guides.

Famous for soup dumplings, this restaurant is a must! I had a wonderful meal with my family. I came to the restaurant after hearing from friends. We had an order of the pork soup dumplings and also the crab meat soup dumplings, and both were delicious. They were perfectly steamed and had juicy soup, so you have to first pour the soup out into your spoon to drink it and then eat the dumplings. It was our first time there, and we will definitely come back. We also had vegetable dishes and noodle dishes that were great. This place is cash only, and there is often a line from what I hear, but we did not have to wait too long for a table, although it was very busy after we started eating there. Looking forward to coming back.

I’m not sure why everyone gives this place such a bad rating. The food is great. The soup dumplings are truly delicious. It is NOT expensive compared to other restaurants, but might be considered pricey for Chinatown. But I don’t think $5-$12 for a meal is pricey. I don’t find the service to be rude. It’s very distant, which is customary in most places outside of the states. They don’t coddle you, they just take your order and bring you food. Nothing wrong with that. There’s an ATM upstairs if you forget cash. Literally a delicious, must stop spot in Chinatown. This is my second visit and I’m just as satisfied.

I’ve visited this establishment before and enjoyed bringing friends here, but unfortunately, my recent experience was a major disappointment. The service was consistently unprofessional; our server was visibly impatient and dismissive, even becoming argumentative when a simple drink order mistake was pointed out.
Most concerning, however, was the food quality. We were served a pork dish that was still frozen/raw in the center. When we decided to leave a modest tip reflecting the poor service and food safety issues, the server confronted us publicly at the table to demand more. As a New Yorker, I have a high bar for efficiency and don’t mind a ‘no-frills’ attitude, but there is a line between being direct and being outright disrespectful.

I don’t really do reviews but feel a responsibility. FOR YOUR SAFETY DO NOT GO HERE . A caveat: years ago this place was amazing and I still love the neon vibe of the interior decor.
But ultimately we were served raw food (soup dumplings that weren’t cooked all the way through, doughy with the meat still pink and unsettling). The rest of the food was probably safe to eat but it just was either dry, or flavorless or just sort of pungent with sadness.
I will say that they were not rude to us at all, just a normal amount of detached which I actually like. But the frustrating food quality made the bill sting and we ended up going to another place a few blocks away for a second dinner so we didn’t leave the night totally disappointed.

Went on a dumpling crawl and this place was second best. Soup dumplings couldn’t have been more perfect though! Super crowded spot

Very frustrating as this place used to be great and now the food is super expensive and it doesn’t even taste good! I’d been okay if the food is decent but it’s not.
The scallion pancake is dry and flakey. The soup dumplings have a weird taste. The dumplings are small and it’s not like the ones you’d seen at a proper dim sum restaurant.
Portion is bad and the taste is off. I really don’t want to be critical to local business but this place needs a complete rethink of their model otherwise it’ll wash up on the shore of closed business
Really hoping for this place to come back!

Such a good atmosphere ruined by the server (older Asian women)
The food was great up until the final order.
To top off the rude service we got served raw pork, which I found out it was raw after eating one.
The service was very rushed and passive aggressive since the beginning.
Regardless of everything we tipped, all though it was the minimum, I thought it was fair due to the service and raw food experience.
We ordered egg rolls and they were laughable small, it was 99% roll dough. They had virtually no filling.
The older server counted the money infront of us and decided to call us out infront of the establishment for the light tip.
The audacity.
I should have left nothing.
So many better choices around. Skip it

Randomly walked into this restaurant on a Friday night around 8:30pm and we were able to get seated right away. The vibe was casual and the prices are reasonable. My favorite dish were the pork soup dumplings. I highly recommend getting them. We also got the scallion pancakes and fried rice with shrimp and they were good, but I wouldn’t call them exceptional.

Went to this place on a whim when wandering around with family and didn’t check the reviews. The food was pretty gross and bland. The service is fast enough but workers/owner are very rude. We left paying a decent amount for food that we did not enjoy except for the wonton soup, and we LOVE Asian cuisine. Server made sure to tell us tip was not included in the bill; he was lucky we left anything. Go anywhere else in the area and you will have a better experience. AVOID.

The elderly owner of this restaurant clearly doesn’t care about the quality of the food that comes out of her kitchen. While the wait staff were polite and professional, she herself was an absolute nightmare to deal with.
The food was truly disappointing. The oil used tasted old and rancid — I immediately had to spit it out. My toddler was hungry, but there was no way I could feed him that food. We ordered a Shanghai-style dish that should have included shrimp and mushrooms, but instead it was made with cheap meat and vegetables. The cutbacks were obvious, and the scallion pancakes tasted frozen and flavorless.
When we politely gave feedback about the quality of the dish, the owner became defensive and tried to bully us, insisting that nothing was wrong. She claimed they “only use new oil” because they have “so many customers,” yet the restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday night — we only ended up here because our favorite Shanghai spot nearby had a 40-minute wait.
She even demanded we pay for the dish despite our concerns. The experience was unpleasant from start to finish. I will never visit this place again, and it’s a shame to see such a poorly run restaurant misrepresenting the neighborhood’s dining scene.
