It's been almost one year (Sept 2025) since Big Skyy closed it's doors at its old location across…read morethe street. They had to...the building was scheduled to be torn down. Our entire family grieved the loss of one of the best dim sum and Chinese cuisine restaurants in the Riverside area. But lately, there was a lot of talk, good talk, that the same owner had reopened here, a tinier bistro setting, not as flashy interior. So here we are, finally, late to the party, but sublimely happy. First things first. An order of their siu mai. Still just as plump, with their signature, wonderful pork- shrimp filling, my taste buds let out a big sigh of relief. I've had to endure some pretty horrible ones from other restaurants lately. Big Skyy's is superb. Next, the black bean pork ribs. Wonderful, just as we remembered. A healthy portion, plenty of meat in spite of the bones. Great gravy. Finally, the eggplant with beef. This one was extra special, made with generous amounts of filet mignon, eggplant cut in spears, cooked in a salty sweet garlic sauce that is very special. It was melt-in-your-mouth, swoon worthy. One of my favorites. They still accommodate large family groups, a few big round tables for 6 or more. The staff was very friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. They feature the same marvelous menu and the same chef who creates those traditional Chinese dishes with pizzazz. It's wonderful to re-acquaint ourselves with an old "friend". It's even better to know, the important things we remembered have not changed a bit. You would be right to assume we will be back!

I was really craving Chinese food since I'm away from home, so my friend and I decided to try…read moresomewhere new and came across Jade China. I'm honestly really glad we did. The restaurant itself is super spacious, and since we came at kind of an odd time after the lunch rush, it was really calm and relaxing inside. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari, and it was really good. The calamari was crispy, lightly seasoned, and still tender inside, which made it super satisfying to eat. I do wish it came with a dipping sauce, but we already had sweet and sour sauce on the table and ended up using that instead, which actually paired really well with it. We also got the Chicken Pad Thai, which honestly impressed me a lot. The portion size was huge for the price, I think it was around $12-13, which felt really worth it for how much food we got. The noodles were flavorful, well cooked, and had a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors without feeling too heavy. The people working there were really welcoming and kind, and it felt like a family-run restaurant, which made the experience feel even more comforting and homey.

Arrived around 1:15 pm and there was a long line so for me, this is an either a good sign or people are just hungry and there's no other choice. Signed up on their waiting list and waiting for about 30 mins before we got a table. IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND!! This is what we ordered: 1. XLB - 10/10 - freshly made, soup was very tasty, the filling was very flavorful. It gave DTF a run for their money. No need for ginger. Dip this in some chili oil and soy sauce and you're in for a treat! 2. Pork shiumai - 6/10 - it was good but not the best I've had. My least fave. 3. Schezuan eggplant - 11/10 - the best schezuan eggplant dish I've had. Fresh off from the wok so be careful eating this coz it is temperature hot. The flavor was full of umami, sweet, salty, and that sauce is heavenly!! 4. Cucumber salad - 10/10. Love the crispiness and garlic flavor of this app. Liked the addition of cilantro. 5. Garlic string beans - another 11/10 - it was a full plate of this all time fave of ours. Cooked to perfection!! Again a little touch of some salted black beans that added more umami flavor. 6. Dan Dan noodles - 10/10 - I'm a big fan of DD noodles and this was delish!! Love the freshness of the noodles and right balance of ground meat and flavor was spot on!! 7. House special chicken wings - 10/10. crispy, sweet, little tangy and BOMB! Lots of parking it's in a strip mall!! This place is legit! Service was great. Will definitely come back and try their other food!!

Unacceptable Food Handling Practices and Complete Disregard for Customer Concerns!…read more I was extremely disturbed by the lack of basic food safety and hygiene practices I witnessed during my recent visit to this restaurant. Although every employee appeared to be wearing gloves, I did not witness a single glove change. I watched servers clear dirty dishes from tables and then proceed to serve fresh food to other customers while wearing the exact same gloves. This is a serious cross-contamination concern and completely defeats the purpose of wearing gloves in the first place. What made this experience even more disappointing was the response when I brought the issue to a server's attention. Rather than acknowledging my concern or taking any action, she simply looked at me, smiled, and walked away. No explanation, no acknowledgment, and absolutely no indication that my concern was being taken seriously. Management needs to take a serious look at its sanitation practices and employee training. Food safety is not optional, and customer concerns should never be dismissed with a smile and a walk away. Very disappointing and concerning experience. I don't care how good the food is, there is absolutely no excuse for such disgusting and unsanitary food-handling practices. Good food means nothing when basic hygiene and customer safety are being ignored.

From Pan Fried Noodles, Wonton Soup, to Chicken Fried Rice, every entree we order is delicious. We come here to celebrate or if we just want to drop by after going to Tyler Mall.

Their Chicken Fried Rice are not just small bits and pieces of chicken. There are also strips of chicken in the fried rice. This is such a great place to enjoy authentic Chinese Food. They also offer lunch specials! I highly recommend this place for family, friends, or even just come by solo and this place will truly become a go to place for all your favorite Chinese Food favorites. The prices here are affordable and the flavors are amazing!

I'd like to preface this review saying when I can give them another try the review may go up to at…read moreleast 4*, but based on the first dining experience, a 3 might be generous, which I'll explain below. First, I arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, which is important to highlight because they're closed on Mondays, and I suspect one dish I tried had the texture of leftovers (from the weekend). Part of me wants to try again later in the week, and day to see if this was a fluke. What I ordered was a rice bowl with braised pork belly and daily vegetables. Everything was good except the pork was dry and tough, clearly not braised that day or heated all the way through. I forget what my first choice was, but it wasn't available that day. My other item was the wonton soup, which also disappointed me for a few reasons. Portion size is good, but the broth tasted really thin, watery, and the wontons were overcooked and falling apart. The cause was they were forgotten about and the pot boiled over. Generally, you cook these below the boil to prevent the cloudy mess from disintegrating skins. The filling tasted fine, but again, overall flavors and balance was marred. I did, however, enjoy the lenon tea that comes with every combination meal. And, the employees are very nice, but the food didn't make the cut. They have a big menu and I've seen the skewers and hot pots in action so I know there's potential.
