Pork & Crab Soup Dumplings

📍 New York Chinese $$

at Joe's Shanghai

"The soup dumpling at Joe's Shanghai is a historical artifact. The skin is thicker than modern XLB — it holds more broth. The crab and pork filling is sweet and oceanic. Bite the corner, drink the broth first. This is the original."
