Joe's Shanghai menu: choose the filling, then the noodle format
Start with pork soup dumplings or crab with pork, then choose cold noodles, stir-fried noodles or rice cakes. Both soup-dumpling fillings contain pork; the vegetable section also deserves an ingredient check.

Three comparisons before you order
Choose the filling and format before adding another dish.
Crab adds seafood; it does not replace pork
Pork or crab with pork?
The restaurant explicitly identifies two soup-dumpling fillings: pork, and crab with pork. Choose whether you want the crab addition while keeping the pork ingredient in mind. Neither is established as a meat-free seafood option.
Different formats, even when pork is shared
Soup inside, or dumplings in soup?
Soup dumplings contain broth inside the wrapper. The saved menu separately lists pork dumplings with fried or boiled preparation, and pork wontons served in soup. Decide whether you want broth inside, a dumpling preparation choice, or a soup dish; do not treat all three as xiao long bao.
Sauce and format change the choice
Cold sauce, stir-fried noodles or rice cakes?
Cold noodles name peanut and sesame sauce. Shanghai Sauteed Flat Noodle offers a stir-fried noodle direction, while Shrimp Fried Rice Cake changes the base to rice cakes and names shrimp. Compare the format and named ingredients; ask about the exact noodle base, sauce and full preparation rather than relying on generated recipes.
Build the rest of your Joe's Shanghai order
Mixed proteins and vegetable accompaniments matter too.
01
Check mixed proteins beyond dumplings
The spring roll names shrimp and pork; crispy jumbo prawns with meat sauce name a meat sauce. If avoiding pork or seafood, read the entire combination instead of choosing from the headline protein alone.
02
Read the vegetable section
Bean Curd Szechuan Style and braised tofu over spinach list minced pork. Crab tofu names crab; cabbage names dried shrimp. These are different ingredient directions even though they appear with vegetables. Ask staff about ingredients, modifications and cross-contact.
03
Keep a soup alternative distinct
Shredded Pork & Pickled Cabbage Noodle Soup names pork and pickled cabbage; the bean-curd, pickle and dried-shrimp vermicelli soup adds dried shrimp. A soup or tofu title does not establish a vegetarian broth. Confirm the preparation and current availability.
Before choosing at Joe's Shanghai
Are the crab soup dumplings pork-free?
No. The restaurant names crab with pork as one filling and pork as the other. Read crab as an addition, not a substitution.
Which noodle options should I compare?
Compare cold peanut-and-sesame noodles, Shanghai stir-fried noodles, crispy noodles and rice cakes. Soup noodles are separately listed. Choose by format and ingredients, not an invented bestseller ranking.
Are the vegetable dishes vegetarian?
Not the whole section: some tofu dishes list pork, crab tofu contains crab and cabbage names dried shrimp. Ask about complete ingredients and cross-contact rather than relying on the section heading.
Is this the complete current menu?
No. These examples come from the September capture, with selected names corroborated by a venue-matched merchant menu and soup-dumpling fillings by the restaurant. Confirm current availability and recipes directly.
