I went to Congee by accident. I had aimed to go to its elaborately decorated and flashing-neon-lights-wearing brethren, Congee House, or Congee Village, but instead found myself at 98 bowery, peering into a room of Chinatown locals. My father has always told me that the best restaurant is where the locals go, so I went in anyhow. CONT'D

Like many authentic Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, Sang Kee Peking Duck House does not pride itself on aesthetics. The most decorative touches are the meats hanging up right when you walk in. But the bare-bones decor isn't a problem. The delicious, Hong Kong-styled food needs no distraction. CONT'D

JOE'S SHANGHAI

REVIEW

February 17, 2009

CUISINE: Asian, Chinese, Soups
NEIGHBORHOOD: Chinatown

9 Pell St, between Doyers and Bowery

(p) 212- 233- 8888

Piping hot and full of flavor, the soup dumplings at Joe’s are a meal in and of themselves. Joe’s Shanghai almost always means a wait of thirty minutes or more. If that’s the case then go two doors to its sister restaurant, Joe’s Ginger, where the food is just as good and the wait is half as long.

About Us

We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food.
