Shanghaied

I had my first day of classes yesterday, and it was a rather full day! To make a long story short, I found myself in Chinatown by dinner time, researching a 40-foot segment of Canal Street. Since I was in the area with another classmate and more experienced New Yorker (named Alex), we dropped into a local restaurant for dinner. Joe's Shanghai at 9 Pell Street is one of four locations, and I suspect the original. It was good Chinese cuisine, but their "soup dumplings" were really their signature dish. Instead of serving dumplings in soup, they served the soup in the dumplings. Their menu purports that they have an official website at www.joeshangai.com, but I found nothing there. In searching, I came across a brief review in The New York Times.
