All I need in life is good easy dim sum which is what Jade Garden gave me. A very authentic spot found in IDistrict. We got all the classics from the shrimp dim sum to cheong fun to the lotus sticky rice. They were all super good and decently priced. read more

Jade Garden - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were here with some friends and glad we went! Overall it was a great experience, staff were friendly and helpful. The best two dishes of the night were noodles and pepper squid. While the rest of the food we had was ok, it was not as flavorful and quite frankly boring compared to the other two we had. If you are in the area, I would recommend it. It's not a place you would accidentally walk in to, which is good because there isn't really a line. As we were leaving, they gave us a custard bun to go, it was great! read more

Great place!! Authentic and delicious! Lots of choices and yummy daily specials. ( I hate to use the word authentic, but there are a lot of Americanized Chinese places that are awful. Everything we ordered was fantastic, generously portioned with leftovers to go. We ordered house special chow mein with seafood, Hong Kong style, paaih gwat, shrimp stuffed eggplant, shrimp and cilantro dumplings, mushroom rice roll and sesame balls. Yum yum yum yum!!! Busy throughout the almost two hours we were there, with steady turnover. Hubby and I spoke at length with the owner and his son, Eric---this restaurant has been in operation for decades. The entire staff is attentive. Make sure to eat here while in the area. read more

We came to this restaurant early in the morning, around 10:30am, for some dim sum brunch. Even though the whole chinatown was sleeping, this place had several guests dining in. The interior seemed recently renovated, looked nice, but the entrance and some parts of the place was messy. They do not push carts, all dim sum dishes come straight from the kitchen. They had about 40 dim sum items on the menu. Prices were decent for each plate. We were able to scan QR code order the items we wanted. We got the shrimp dumplings, radish cake, shrimp rice roll, beef honey comb, sesame ball and egg tar. All items were brought out to table in short time. All the items had legit taste. My favorite was the beef honey comb (intestine), probably the best tasting one I ever had. The service was fine, as it's usually is in C-town restaurants. Staff members brought water/tea and removed empty plates while running around doing other things. Though it wasn't the full dim sum experience (no push carts), we were content with the food. read more

Jade Garden - Spring roll - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Jade Garden is located inside Seattle Chinatown. Small-medium size dining area. Live tanks at the front. The staff let my kid climb up the ladder to see crabs and lobsters. It's order to make style. The staff were nice, confirming with us regarding orders. The food was good. Fully stuffed prawns in the dumplings, radish cakes had crispy skin and soft inside, Chinese dough rice roll was flavorful with the sauce. It's a good dimsum spot with quick service. read more

Haven't been in awhile. 3 of us had dim sum in the afternoon around 1PM on a Saturday. We ate ~$71. Credit card charge of 3% is a bit annoying. Harbor city was gone, so we opted to go for Jade Garden. Slight refresh inside for seating since I last remembered dining there. Food was good. Cheaper pricing than bay area. Street parking only. read more

Very traditional Chinese restaurant that love by Chinese or American. It is heart and soul for the China town. The restaurant has limited table. But you should be able to find a table due to food delivered to table very fast. Turn around also fast. We have the jade tofu - soft tofu. This dish comes with three different mushrooms. I recommend this dish. We also got BBQ pork pastry. This one of my son favorite. It is good. The last dish we have is the beef chow fun. I like this dish due higher BTU wok dish. It was perfectly done. Overall we have a good meal. Good service. read more

3.5 stars. Most dishes are what you expect, but then the egg tarts are very small. We didnt get anything that was stand-out good. Rice rolls were a bit mushy, salted egg yolk was grainy, and egg tarts had very little filling due to their size. Beef stir-fry and vegetables were fine. Prices were about $18 per dish. It seems that this place may be more popular with non-Chinese crowds for dinner, as looking around, the fried rice portions were huge seemed popular. Not sure if I'd come back. Coming from the bay, I'd want larger portions for this quality and size. Maybe more dim sum dishes would have been better. read more

Not for me. There was a fly underneath our shrimp rice noodle rolls which made me feel queasy knowing I had already ate a few from the plate. There were also flies buzzing around the dining area. The wonton noodle soup lacked flavor and just tasted like white pepper. The siu mai and har gao were mushy and sad. The bbq pork bun was probably the most innocent thing. The waiter subtracted the rice rolls from our bill when I pointed out the fly but the total was still very expensive for dim sum of that quality. Wanted to love but it was unfortunately a very unpleasant experience for us. Next time I'm in the area I'll stick to Dim Sum King. read more

We were unfortunately not able to dine at Jade Restaurant due to a broken hot water system that affected service during our visit. We appreciated that the owner's son came out to explain the situation and apologize for the inconvenience. However, the overall interaction with staff before that left a negative impression. When we asked the hostess if they still served fortune cookies during our wait, she responded that they had not served them in about 10 years. While that is completely fine, the tone felt a bit dismissive and could have been more welcoming. We also felt uncomfortable with a comment made by the owner's son during his apology, where he used inappropriate language while speaking about the situation. Even though we understand that unexpected issues can be stressful for a restaurant, professionalism is important when addressing guests. Since we were unable to dine, we cannot comment on the food itself. We hope the restaurant is able to resolve their equipment issues and improve guest communication and service for a better experience in the future. read more

I used to come here a lot when I worked downtown but haven't been in a few years. I feel like the quality has really improved! You order from a qr menu and can order dim sum and/or things off the regular menu, plus they have white board specials. Still about a 30 min wait for 3 at 2 pm on a Sat afternoon!! We decided to come because we took the new light rail from the east side, then walked a few blocks up to the restaurant. Everything was delish, fresh, and hot. They also stopped by with skme trays of things too. I miss the carts but this is convenient. Standard dim sum fare - no exotics like jellyfish, xiao long bao, or sugarcane shrimp. Still solid and fast once you are seated! read more

Jade Garden - Radish cake, eggplant with shrimp, shrimp balls, sticky rice, pineapple bun, sui mai, spring roll, green beans, honey walnut shrimp - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was hard. Came here because Jade is known as the oldest Chinese restaurant in Seattle, and I've heard Bruce Lee used to eat here -- which is pretty cool. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was just okay, especially for the price. Some dishes were bland and chewy -- not bad, just underwhelming. Things went downhill when my son found a piece of hair in his soup. We tried to brush it off, but a few minutes later we noticed a bug (about penny-sized) on my daughter's hair. That was the breaking point. I also used the men's restroom and it was dirty and unpleasant. Despite everything, my wife still tipped the server 18% because the service itself was good. We won't be returning. The front door sign shows an "Excellent" cleanliness rating, which didn't match our experience. Rating: 2-3 stars read more

Jade Garden felt like a very authentic dim sum experience, and I enjoyed the food overall. The dishes were flavorful, fresh, and lived up to the restaurant's reputation. My main complaint was the service when it came to drink refills, as I often had to flag someone down to get attention. Aside from that, the experience was good, and I would return for the food. read more

Had a good time eating here with friends on a Thursday night around 7 pm in Seattle's chinatown! Easy to find parking in chinatown. We were a party of 3 and we were sat immediately since it wasn't at all busy. A lot of older/senior people already dining and enjoying their foods. It's a beautiful interior that's spacious and will do well for larger groups or bigger celebrations. They don't have the traditional dim sum carts :( Anyways, we orders several dishes from their dim sum and dinner menu. The har gao, chicken feet, and shrimp rice roll were classically done and delicious. The fried rice was awesome since it had so much flavor and some crunch in it from added rice puffs. The hot and sour soup was tasted as expected. The main course was the Peking duck! Lots of duck meat with baos and wraps. Classic toppings but with shredded cantaloupe that added sweetness and freshness with the duck. Overall, great experience! read more

In Seattle's Chinatown....this place is a pretty solid choice. And it sure was a busy place on this day. Dumpling soup: Very good rendition. Duck: Pretty solid crispy duck version. Mongolian/stir fry beef: Very good and and a good sauce. Red dipping sauce: Never had a sauce quite like this, but it's darn good. Has a decent kick, but the flavor was great! Steamed dumpling: It's ok but not the best. Potstickers: Not my favorite at all on this one. Staff can be a bit slow in getting to you or getting the food. But it all comes out hot and fresh....It's again, a great solid choice. read more

Absolutely loved this spot when I visited Seattle. We came on a weekday mid-afternoon and were seated immediately. There was no wait, which was a nice surprise. Just a heads-up: since it's located in Chinatown, parking can be a bit tricky. Most spots are paid ($5/hour), and it took a while to find one. If you go earlier in the day, you might score free street parking. Pro tip: there's a nearby supermarket where you can park and get validated with a purchase. I wish I'd known that sooner! It's only a few blocks' walk. The food was so DELICIOUS. Instead of the traditional cart service with aunties wheeling around dim sum, you order from a photo menu which I personally loved. It makes it easier to get exactly what you want fresh, without waiting or missing a dish from the carts. Every single item we ordered hit the spot. Fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The dining room was quiet, but that might've just been the time we went. Service was efficient. If you're in Seattle and craving authentic dim sum, this place should be on your list. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Jade Garden - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a delicious dim sum restaurant in downtown Seattle. The service is very friendly and food comes out quick. Dim sum items are carried out on trays vice carts. You can also order from the digital menu. The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is small and there can be a wait. If you arrive early before 9:30 am (on weekend) then you can be seated quickly. Parking can be difficult since it's downtown, but street parking is free on Sunday. They charge extra if you use credit card, so recommend paying by cash or debit card. read more

This is the worst restaurant I've dined at in Seattle these past few days. The food was overly salty, and the service was terrible. A female server with a Cantonese accent kept badgering us about tipping. It felt discriminatory. As Chinese people overseas, we understand local customs and know how to conduct ourselves, yet she really ought to focus on improving her service first. read more

This is still our go to dim sum spot... really friendly service, clean interior (so impressed that they have an excellent food safety rating), and such delicious dumplings. All the dumplings are amazing but our favorites are the scallop and shrimp, shanghai dumplings, shrimp and chives, shu mai, har gow, pan fried shrimp and chives, and eggplant stuffed with shrimp. Years ago I had lost a gold bracelet during dim sum and didn't realize this is where I had left. Days later I called and they had found it and stowed it safely away--they are so incredibly honest.... read more

While visiting Seattle, we wanted to eat in China Town. We asked a guy who was working on the street what restaurant he would recommend. He told us to go to Jade Garden. We were seated immediately. There was no menu. You have to scan the menu and place your order on your phone. We ordered the chicken chow mein. It was decent, but it was just noodles, chicken, and onions. There were no vegetables. Service was terrible, which was surprising since the restaurant was almost empty. Not sure what happened, but they charged me more than the price on the menu. I didn't even bother to ask. We just paid and got out of there. It was just not a good experience. read more

My wife had just moved here from China and asked where was the most authentic Chinese dim sum place in Seattle. We are very fortunate to have many but I remember my experience at this restaurant and it was great. Parking can be a little bit tricky. They always find a way to accommodate you but be patient. The place was packed at 10 AM on a Sunday. The aroma of chicken, pork and beef filled the air. There were many families there and very large groups. We tried many different things, and my wife gave a thumbs up to everything. They were even accommodating when she brought her own looseleaf tea and they provided hot water. Our server was great and very friendly and the people pushing the carts took their time to explain what was what. Outstanding experience and if you're looking for a taste that is authentic Chinese dim sum this is the place. read more

This is my new top go-to spot for dimsum in Seattle!! I previously was a loyal customer of Harbor City but after taking my mother and sister here my mind has been irreversibly changed. The ambience is really pretty and brightly lit, the booths are modern and the service is good. The dimsum is also very reasonably priced and super flavorful. I especially liked their shrimp chang fen and Siu Mai! read more

Haven't been to Jade Garden in a moment. Came here with a group for dim sum. We got seated right away, and there were still several tables available when we got seated. We ordered dim sum only. The food was ok. The dim sum came out warm, not hot. The hot and sour soup was bland. read more

Jade Garden - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here on a Sunday morning for brunch (around 11am-ish) and to my surprise, there was barely a line and got seated right away. Ordering is easy as it's all online using your phone with picture and price shown. However the only downside is it doesn't allow you to review what you've ordered once it's sent to the kitchen so you really won't be able to check what have you ordered. About 5 minutes we put in our order, the three steam baskets came. Pretty hot and steaming (so i guess they are relatively fresh). The fried items came a little later and my favorite is definitely the fried bean curd roll with shrimp! Savory and sweetness from the shrimp, and the crispy outside. Their chilli sauce is a not my favorite chili sauce/oil. This is less oil but more like a vinegary sauce. I like it better if it's just chili flakes + oil, or as it is but less vinegar but it's a personal preference. We asked the server for bill and to-go boxes and they never brought us the bill. Asked another server and they told us to pay at the front. We went to the front, waited a little before someone came to ask if we wanted to pay and they asked us for our table's order sheet (seems none of them know what's the payment system here??). Finally after some back and forth, paid for the meal and left. It was around 12pm noon when we left and there was a line forming at the door waiting for tables. read more

If you're looking for authentic Cantonese food in Seattle's Chinatown, Jade Garden is a must-visit. I just finished eating here and I'm already impressed enough to write this review! The Dim Sum: You can really tell their dim sum is handmade in-house. * Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow): Huge, plump, and packed with fresh shrimp. * Siu Mai: Thin skin and generous filling--highly recommended! * They also have a great variety of classics like Taro Dumplings and Deep-fried Glutinous Rice Balls (Ham Sui Gok). Main Dishes (Huge Portions!): We were a group of three and we had to pack half of our food to go because the portions are massive. * Beef with Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan): The beef was incredibly tender and the broccoli was perfectly crunchy. * Salted Chicken: Their signature dish! Pairing it with the ginger and scallion dipping sauce is absolute perfection. * Beef Chow Fun: Initially, it was a bit light on salt for our taste. We mentioned it to the staff, and they were so kind--they took it back to the kitchen to toss it again for us, and it came out perfect! Service & Practical Info: The staff here are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. * Location: Super convenient right in Chinatown. * Parking: Street parking is available right outside. It's quite affordable--around $3 for 2 hours (paid between 8 AM - 8 PM). Overall, a great spot for anyone craving real Cantonese flavors. I'll definitely be back. Wishing them continued success! Why this review stands out: * Specific Dish Names: Using both the English and some traditional names (like Har Gow) helps with searchability. * Service Story: Mentioning how they fixed the Beef Chow Fun shows the restaurant is responsive to customers, which is a huge plus on Yelp. * Parking Details: This is "Elite" level advice. People in Seattle are always worried about Chinatown parking, so the $3/2hrs tip is very helpful. read more

My go to spot for dim sum in Seattle's Chinatown. You order on your phone but the waiters also come around with dishes from the kitchen (at least on weekend mornings). Reservation would be a good idea as the restaurant gets full. Do not expect any frills in the decor. Bathrooms are not the best. Parking can be difficult. You come for the food, which is good. I've taken some to a Hawks game before (remember to bring a clear plastic bag to go through security at Lumen Field). read more

JADE Garden offers a lot of tasty dishes! They have a wide variety to choose from! I have tried many of their dishes and were very impressed! They have room for families! The only thing that bothered me was the waitresses would yell across the room to one another. They would yell right across the table! It was quite uncomfortable! That was the only drawback! You also have to make reservations! Usually on the weekends, there's a line to get in! It's worth the trouble! Enjoy! read more

Ambiance is a little lacking and restaurant could use a good deep clean but I still keep coming back for the dim sum. Great selection, high quality steamed buns and quick service.
