![]() ![]() this isn’t the right choice.Ībout the food - this is where I show my naivety. If you're looking for a quaint personal lunch with soft ambiance. The only potential complaint is that it’s busy and somewhat loud. The table service for extras like beverages is good. The establishment is staffed to support large lunch rushes. The food is hot, fresh, and readily available. During lunch, the service is nearly immediate. Before I even get to the food – let me clarify. The Jade Garden may be nearly the perfect ID dim sum experience. Again, that's all you can eat of the best Dim Sum in Seattle, for well under $10! Luncher: JeffLunch: Family style - $8.00 We ate more than we should have today and walked away paying $9 each after tax and tip. The other great thing about the Jade Garden is the price. The Pan Toasted Sesame Shrimp & Scallion balls are usually a highlight, but today our order was a bit cold. Every piece I was able to sneak away with was hot, tender, and tasty (just like I like my. It is spiced with diced fresh red and green hot peppers that add just the right bite. ![]() It has the perfect combination of rice, pork, mushrooms, and tiny shrimp. Yum! The sticky rice is always great and today was no exception. The dumplings were hot, with a nice meaty wrapper and tangy, gingery pork filling. The standouts today where the Pork and Ginger Dumplings, the Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, and the Calamari. We topped it off with Chinese broccoli, deep fried calamari, and honey walnut prawns. If not, you have to be a bit more assertive to get food flowing past.) We started with dumplings, shu mai, and noodle rolls, then the sticky rice and spare ribs and more dumplings. (Note: If you get stuck back here, make sure you get an early seating when the carts are still moving through. Today we walked right in and got one of the large tables in the far back room. However, since hot carts are always passing by, it's easy to get in and out in forty minutes or less. It is not unusual to have to wait a few minutes for a table. Also unlike its neighbors, Jade Garden is packed for lunch every day and by mostly Chinese speakers. But what it lacks in style, it more than makes up in taste and attiude. It doesn't have the splashy decore or the bright fancy exterior that others use to cover up their sub-par offerings. It is exactly how I expect a popular Hong Kong dim sum restaurant would be: always packed, lots of dim sum carts, great food, and lots of locals. The 30+ tables are packed into five or so distinct eating areas, some at slightly different elevations and one, at the back of the maze, in what was once a neighboring restaurant. Jade Garden is large, yet it still somehow maintains the feeling of a small restaurant. Luncher: GearyLunch: Family style - $8.00 The dim sum here is good every time.īy the way, I had dinner here, and it sucks. I think I'd just like to see more specials - new dim sum every time. The service is kind of rude, but that doesn't bother me. And then everything with shrimp in it and sesame seeds on it - good.Īs much as I love this place, it's missing something that I can't put my finger on. I also tried the garlic pork buns for the first time, they were also good. You can also order a plate of fresh fried calamari, which tastes terrific. My favorites are the Sui Mai, the little bits of pork spare ribs, and the rice in lotus leaf. ![]() Compared to other places, the dim sum here just tastes a little fresher, a little more flavorful. They use liberal amounts of Pork and Shrimp in everything, which just plain rocks. And you never have to wait more than 30 seconds to get your food. This place has huge tables, is always crowded, and the selection of food on the carts is terrific. Jade Garden is where I come when I want Dim Sum in Seattle. Luncher: EmmettLunch: Family style - $8.00 Very tender and well flavored pork along some tasty ginger. I'd never had one before, but they were simply awesome. But, the highlight of the meal for me was the Pork and Ginger Dumpling. The pork spare ribs seemed bigger and tastier than normal. even with groups as big or bigger than 10 people.Īll of the food was delicious. No matter how busy Jade Garden is, I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get a table. I was split on whether to give this place a 4 or a 5.
