Is Joe's Shanghai cash only?

It is very unpleasant, and NOT worth it. Go anywhere else and you will have a happier evening. 18% mandatory gratuity on the before-tax amount. The Kung Pao Chicken and rice were dry and terrible. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun was the worst I have had. The Water Spinach not special. The crab meat with pork soup dumplings were tasteless. There is no atmosphere, just people jammed in. Waiters keep your water filled but are unfriendly and don't care about patrons.
