The fish we had was super fresh and flavorful, and the Peking-style pork chops were amazing! Loved the sweet and tangy sauce--it had just the right balance of flavors. Both dishes were delicious and definitely worth trying.

**** GOAT DIM SUM ALERT**** This place has the best roasted pork buns on dim sum that I've ever had in my life. The inside is of a Peking brown sauce style roasted pork inside the white bao bun. They also have the best long shrimp noodles on dim sum. Very thick and doesn't break when you pick it up with your chopsticks. This is the best dim sum place in all of Minnesota. I mean, we are talking comparable to Los Angeles, Boston, & New York. They have a huge parking lot, however, the spots adjacent to the building are customer parking free parking. The remainder of the parking lot is paid Parking only.

Baked BBQ Pork Char Siu Buns

Jade Dynasty is our go to Cantonese restaurant in the Twin Cities. None of that American Chinese food;) It's a more upscale looking Chinese restaurant, and we love that they have big round marble lauriat tables with a lazy susan. We usually come with extended family and this is one place that has a big enough tank for 12. We were celebrating a birthday so ordered too much food for our group of 7. We also arrived early enough for dimsum. We ordered: Dimsum: Steamed Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls Shrimp & Chive Pancakes Steamed Soup Dumplings Steamed BBQ Pork Buns Sesame Balls Pan fried Shrimp Dumplings in Crispy Tofu Skin Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumplings Siumai Shrimp Dumplings Ha Gao Baked BBQ Pork Char Siu Buns Peking Duck 2 Ways Yangzou Fried Rice Typhoon Shelter Fish Seafood Stir Fried Cantonese Noodles Salt & Pepper Octopus Szechuan-style Dry-Fried String Beans We havent found amazing dimsum in the Twin Cities but Jade Dynasty's dimsum is okay when you need a fix, which goes for all their options. They have a laminated menu and you mark what you want with a pen. The Peking Duck was good but really haven't had much to compare it with in the cities. Our favorite is the Typhoon Shelter fish - the crispy garlic is so good and it's our must order. The rest of the non-dimsum food we ordered taste authentically Cantonese and better than other Chinese restaurants around that we've tried.

Beef with broccoli lunch special
Abbie F.

Had the beef and broccoli lunch special. Upon ordering I thought it was fairly pricey at $15 for a lunch special. Lunch came with one egg roll and white rice. You could upgrade to fried rice for $3. The woman who took my phone order and when I picked my food up from inside was extremely nice and helpful! It looked busy inside when I took it to go. The container looked bigger than I thought it was going to be with good flavor. I probably would order something different next time and I would definitely go back to try some more of their items. Still pricey and need to try more things to determine if it is worth it.

Garlic fried fish fillets

Service is good, the restaurant is spacious, nicely decorated, and has plenty of seating. The food is good too. I had dim sum with a friend and everything tasted freshly made and good. I just wish there were at least 1 more piece of chicken feet in the order and the sponge cake not be as sweet or sticky. It's good, but it also had a very bold flavor of brown sugar and a lot of it was sticking to the paper. The garlic fried fish and roast duck were flavorful and fresh too. The take out containers were large, so amount of food was worth the price. I'd come back for the food again!

Menu

We went to Jade Dynasty around 6:45pm on a Monday. It is handicapped accessible, with a few handicap parking spaces in the lot. Most of the rest of parking is in a paid lot. The space is fairly clean, modern, and brightly lit during the day. My partner had the Nankin Wanderer's Punch which was sweet and fruity. I had the Long Island Limoncello which was good, but a little bland. We shared the rest of the meal. Steamed Bbq Pork Buns were delicious. Highly recommend. Steamed Soup Dumplings were very hot so I recommend letting them sit for a few minutes. Once they were cool enough to eat they were very good. Sesame Chicken-this is a dish I often use as a benchmark, and it was excellent. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was very good. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce was also delicious. Beef Brisket Stewed Clay Pot was disappointing. First off it was not in a clay pot. Why call it clay pot when you could call it a hot pot. When it is brought to your table it is fully cooked, and the pot is placed over a small gas stove so it continues to cook while at your table. Even though we let it stew for quite a while the beef was very tough and very chewy. Even though we ordered appetizers a good 10-15 minutes before the entrees, all of the food came out at the same time. Food was delivered fairly quickly, servers were ok.

veggie egg roll
Ted R.

This is our second visit to this restaurant and I'm and in this updated, I'm giving it five stars. The shrimp dumplings were the standout dish from last time, so I ordered it again, and they were equally terrific. I believe we ordered the egg rolls last time, but these were veggie and also were crispy and delicious. Impressive is the more-subtle-than-most sweet and sour sauce. Usually, it's cloyingly sweet, but Jade Dynasty does it most better than others because it's flavorful without that usual overwhelming sweetness. Also excellent. For main courses my wife had the minced Minced Pork Stir Fry with Chives and xo sauce. This had great flavor with the minced pork, fresh chives and XO sauce combining well for a good dish. I tried the Kung Pao Chicken. For as common as this is, it's interesting that every restaurant has a different spin on it. Jade's version was excellent with a variety of veggies, in addition to good (and generous) pieces of chicken. Among the ingredients were green pepper, yellow onion, green onion, and peanuts. The sauce was excellent and I very much enjoyed it. In terms of appearance, Jade Dynasty is a joy to look at. It's bright, opulent, and just plain beautiful. It looks better than any Chinese restaurant I've ever seen. Our server seemed a bit distracted, like her mind was somewhere else. But other than giving my wife regular Iced Tea, instead of Iced Milk Tea, everything arrived hot and in great shape. I believe that Jade Dynasty has dramatically reduced their menu selection, which is a good thing. It was overwhelming to read, and I'm sure the food was overwhelming to make. Now that they have paired it down, this is an improvement. In this case, less is definitely more.

Shrimp and pork shiu mai
Hoa N.

Came here for lunch and it appears that I can't just order one or two things at Jade Dynasty. It was pretty quiet since it was pretty close to their opening time. Service was great and friendly. The dishes were flavorful. I didn't care for the shrimp and pork shiu mai.

He Said: While I am saddened that Fuji-Ya left Uptown, I am very happy that such a quality restaurant has filled Fuji-Ya's vacancy. Jade Dynasty is like the Captain Planet of Chinese restaurants. Many powerhouse Chinese restaurant owners/operators have come together to form JD. The inside looks great. The food options are plentiful. The parking is easy (not a given in Uptown). I have had their regular menu items, dim sum, and seafood. All delicious. Pros: - Great to have a quality food establishment in Uptown - Clean and courteous - Good food quality Cons: - Prices are slightly higher compared to other mom and pop Chinese restaurants

Fried Rice with Shrimp
Carla R.

Jade Dynasty was absolutely delicious! Their dim sum menu offers a wonderful variety of shareable plates, making it perfect for larger groups or anyone who loves trying multiple dishes. It's such a great spot if you enjoy sampling different dishes. The space is stunning, especially after the recent remodel. You walk into a beautiful dining area that opens up into a larger space with high ceilings, gorgeous light fixtures, and an airy, open feel. It feels modern, elegant, and welcoming all at once. My favorite dishes were the fried mochi, the duck, soup dumplings, and the pork, each one was flavorful and perfectly portioned for sharing. The dim sum was fresh and beautifully prepared. What really stood out, though, was how friendly and involved the owners are. You can tell they genuinely care about the restaurant and their guests, which makes the experience feel even more special. Everything we tried was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

FN01 Beef Chow Fun (4/5)
Kenny N.

Awesome experience! A blast from the past as I was able to delve into some of the most classic HK Noodle dishes back when I was a UofM student Jade Dynasty comes from the same heritage with many familiar faces. Ordered - Roast Pork/Duck: Tasty, good balance of fat to meat ratio, and phenomenal when paired with rice. Also, not gamey which usually can occur with duck - Beef Chow Fun: Wok Hei was on point (IYKYK). Noodles were skinnier than other places but still was delicious - Golden Fried Garlic Fish: Our favorite. This was circa 2010s from college. A dish originated by HK Noodle owners and have seen seen variations spread across other Chinese places in the Twin Cities with Overall, we had a great experience! Staff was friendly, decor was upscale and clean, and parking was fairly straightforward ($1/hr parking) for being in the city

Heard great things about this restaurant, with friends from LA saying it was the best Chinese restaurant they've been to. I was excited to discover they served dim sum every day. Meant to order the green beans that I read high reviews about but only getting things from the dim sum menu. Loved the shrimp rice noodle - impressively long, and made with very large and well flavored shrimp. The turnip cakes were amazing - will definitely get those again. I also really liked the taro puffs and coconut puffing. I was a little disappointed with the sticky rice in bamboo leaf since it was a little mushy and the flavor wasn't as deep as I expected. And the stuffed eggplant was quite disappointing. Pretty but very bland. But everything came out very quickly and hot. And the service was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is also very lovely. It was very impressed with the decor, and the gigantic 22 seat table on the upper level. I need to gather 21 of my closest friends one day to try more of their dishes at that table.

Just sitting down and so far so good. A little ehh about paid parking with a big lot, but kind of par for the course.
David P.

For Dim Sum a high bar has to be met for me to be blown away and this was not it. The food was ok but honestly as dim sum goes it was ehh. Lack of choices that I love, no carts going around, overpriced versus other dim sum locations. Also pay to park was not the experience I was going for. Was worth a shot and may try their other dinner options, but for dim sum it's a no go.

The good news is there's a boba place right next door you can hang out at. Mandarin kitchen is a gem still running the old classic push cart style dim sum with a wide array of popular dim sum dishes as well as some lesser known ones. Everything is made in house and the food is all incredible. It can be hard to know how much you're going to pay until the end as they just are checking off boxes on a piece of paper and you don't even know which box they'll check off until after you get it, but still never ends up being too bad - worst I ever had to pay was $37/person but usually it's around $20 and you'll be stuffed. The staff are quick and constantly running around with so many delicious dishes. You might have to ask if you want something specific, but certain dishes like the duck can run out quick so be sure to get it when comes around. Overall, an awesome place for friends, family and just about everyone. One of my favorites.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

I swirl it for 10 seconds or so then let it rest on my sauce of choice - sesame paste sauce, or chili garlic oil sauce. I'll eat it, along with noodle or rice, a qail egg perhaps. My mouth explodes with flavor. Every time. Hot pot, hot pot. In my gastronomical journey through life, Chinese hot pot is possibly my greatest encounter. And locally, it's Le Pot. Best broth bases - mala spicy, pork bone, and Tom yum are endorsed by me and my girlfriend Great foodstuffs - qual egg, udon noodles, good fatty beef, crab sticks, good old cabbage, tofu, bean curd, enoki mushroom etc - Lamb and pork are alright at this location, could be better Great sauce bar, as I can assemble my staples - Sauce 1: black vinegar, chili oil with flake, garlic oil with garlic, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro (about equal parts and adjust); season with sugar, salt and soy sauce if desired - Sauce 2: lots of sesame paste, and leave as is or maybe add scallions, chili oil, sesame seed **I do wish they had chive paste** - Sauce 3: Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion, black vinegar Value - it's like 30-35 dollars a person here. - I often leave more satisfied here than I do after a "fancy" night on the north loop What's missing - ambiance is okay - I do like a huge communal pot - Chive flower paste - Pork and lamb could be better - Broths are good, but I like the Chicago restaurants best Local hot pot honorable mentions - the place at Asia Mall with the electric rack innovation - Legendary Spice - you are free to grab a tray and raid their fridges/freezers for whatever meat, vegetable, etc you want. But the borth wasn't as good. Overall, it's rather expensive but quality is in some ways lower than Le Pot. - J Pot - Korean bbq and hot pot.
