"Everybody at Joe's Shanghai orders steamed dumplings, but there are many other wonderful ways to begin a meal. Recommended dishes: scallion pancake."

Robyn Lee

"We shared an order of scallion pancakes, aka one of the best foods in the world. You dare resist the flat, layered, slightly chewy bread spotted with scallions and fried to thin-crusted heaven? NO."

Lynn Nugent

"These were crispy and chewy and made even more delicious by the sweet vinegar dipping sauce."

Jennie Tai

"As if Chinese Scallion Pancakes weren’t already delicious from what I remembered, Joe’s thick slices of fried dough and chopped scallions were so much better than my memory of the ‘Chinese Pancake’. These thick triangles of dough were crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside with flakes of dough and scallion that you could dip in sweet soy sauce that were provided with the dish, making this the perfectly sweet and savory appetizer before the main course."

Jean-Philippe Gerbi

"Probably one of the best I had so far."
