Brunch in Portland, Oregon... After I read reviews about Portland's Chinatown, I searched for a dimsum place outside of Chinatown and found Jade Rabbit I liked the name of the place and saw that they had two kinds of rabbit-shaped dimsum! Another cool thing is that their menu is vegan... that means that I don't have to worry about dairy products that give me pain. We found free street parking about a half a block away and waited for Jade Rabbit to open at 11am. We didn't have reservations, but we're seated immediately. The decor was great! I enjoyed looking at all of the Rabbit figurines! The furniture was colorful and the convenient restroom had interesting decorations, too! The service was okay. Some items were not available and our server recited the list that included chow funn. Shucks! She came back later and said that the chow funn was, in fact, available... yay! Our server seemed a bit nervous as her hand shook and placed the special menu upside-down... LOL! We won't bite you! She recommended the Ube Jam drink - it was made with coconut cream... yes! The chow funn was a bit bland. We added some soy sauce. The Puto Pao Bunny Bao had an unusual flavor - maybe the brown sugar can be omitted because the black garlic and vegan pork might be fine without it? The Jade Rabbit Dumplings also could be more savory. Something was off... and the filling was a bit sparse. Anyway, maybe we could have ordered better, but we got what we wanted! Thank you for the cute food! Note: 22 percent is added to the bill - so no need to tip. read more

[ Service ]: 9/10 - as someone who eats meat regularly, this place was a pleasant surprise. My Partner and I decided to drop by on a whim and there happened to be a seat for us with no reservation! The waitress was very friendly and helpful, letting us know that there is a "built in tip" (22% gratuity, the tip is NOT built into the prices btw) and it goes towards affordable wages for the staff! Everything is vegan and I appreciated that they had gluten free dumpling option!!! [ Food ]: 7/10 overall - siu mai: 8/10 was really impressed with the taste and texture of the dumplings. It did feel more like a wonton texture but I feel like the mushrooms bring out a lot of umami in depth of flavor - Jade Rabbit Dumplings: 8.5/10 I appreciate the creativity it took to make mochi bunny buns to make them gluten free. They fell apart kind of easily but super cute and yummy! - Lo Mai Gai: 6/10 solid - mapo tofu: 6/10 I love szechuan peppers but this might have been the spiciest bowl of mapo tofu I've had in my life, which took away from the other elements of the dish. Loved the flavor but definitely packed a punch - Sisig: 9/10 This was both me and my partners' favorite dish, the texture of the tofu was kinda crispy and kinda not, the flavors and the sauce were outstanding! The rice complimented the tofu well too! [ Ambiance ]: - Super cute and cozy, looks like there might be outside seating in the warmer months but the decor and lighting give this restaurant a very warm vibe read more

This place serves all vegan food and it was great. I'm not a vegan but my friend is vegetarian and she was so happy to find a place where she could eat anything off the menu. We ordered a bunch of different items to share and everything was really good. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. I wasn't sure if I'd like the fake chicken pieces that come in the soup but I was pleasantly surprised. The taste and texture were good. They seated us in the cute back area with lots of windows and natural light. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Something I really appreciated was that there were complimentary tampons and pads in the bathroom. Wish more places did that! read more

I had the most intentional time dining here by myself. To start off I was warmly welcomed and informed about the added gratuity for all staff to earn the same tip. Love that for this restaurant. Next, The tea service was a dream. They took the time to show me how to pour the tea. The way it was presented was such a special process to really enjoy the taste of the tea. So many yummy things on the menu but I wanted to get the signature rabbit shaped dish. It was delicious! Whether you're dining by yourself, with a friend, or with family this restaurant is such a delight to dine in. I was happy to slow down and simply enjoy my time in this beautiful restaurant. read more

I'm married to a Chinese American, so we eat a lot of dim sum, but I'm usually pretty limited in what I can enjoy. It was such a wonderful surprise to find a place where I can eat anything on the menu! We ordered several dishes, and the standouts were the chili wontons, char siu bao, and siu mai -- all absolutely delicious. The only item that fell a bit short was the special chow fun, which my husband and I both found a little bland. The staff was kind, and the ambiance was casual and fun. Overall, a great experience, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Jade Rabbit - N/A Drinks - Asian Fusion Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I went to this restaurant as part of a FinCon dinner club. It's all vegan and I was able to Rey a few things. First, the crab Rangoon was delicious and super cute. Second, the mapo tofu was delicious and very spicy. The flavor was on point! I forgot the name of the kimchi dish but it was okay. It was much better with the sauce. Our server was so warm and welcoming! He showed me how to brew the oolong tea and I was so grateful. I also love that this restaurant is employee owned--fun fact: they add 22% to Your bill so no need to add gratuity. I would definitely come back! read more

A reservation is required!!! I was surprised that my friend and I were even allowed to eat here. We didn't have a reservation nor did we know we needed one. When we walked in for dinner, we were immediately questioned about reservations and when told no that they don't have any open tables. I felt a bit disappointed, but luckily the bartender offered us sit at the bar. The bar was opened. The restaurant was partly empty. The restaurant gradually filled with more guests as time went on. I noticed a party of two turned away because they didn't make a reservation and the bar was full by the time they arrived. The bartenders immediately took our orders. We got the mocktails, jade rabbit dumpling, one appetizer, and veg pork dumplings. The mocktails were brought out quickly. They were refreshing and tasty. The appetizer was okay, but bland and paired with sweet oily based sauce. With the sauce, it tasted better. Jade Rabbit was colored green and was tiny compared to the veg pork one. It was flavorless, but the veg pork dumplings was savory, sweet, and the breading was soft. It tasted 360 degrees better than the actual jade rabbit. Go figure. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but a tad letdown to mediocre food. Jade Rabbit was on my "to try" radar for years. Maybe a bad night, but I don't know. I'll try them in the future to see about consistency. read more

Very cool decor and atmosphere here -- it's lovely to sit out on the patio. Service was very friendly and attentive. Their cocktail game is STRONG. I don't think you can really go wrong with any choice to be honest. I love their selection of N/A options. We had: - jade bunny dumplings - Gai lan (get this!) - kimchi mung bean cakes - very good! - siu mai (tastes like seafood) - lo mai gai (these were delicious and the mushrooms slapped) - rangoons - these were nicely fried but didn't have any sort of crab flavor I typically like Would love to return here again with some vegan friends of ours, they would be so pleased. Awesome option among the many vegan places here in town. read more

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for months and decided to finally go for my birthday, but the food, and especially the service, did not live up to the hype. In fact, it was some of the worst service I'd ever experienced. We had a reservation and were seated quickly, but that's where the good service ended. After maybe 10 minutes someone came and asked if we'd been helped. We placed our drink orders and she brought us a tiny pitcher of water that didn't even fill half the glasses for our party of 5. When our drinks came out, we placed our food orders and asked for more water, but I think she forgot. Our food took a very long time, but that was understandable for how much food we ordered. They did also mention they bring it all out at once, but that left some dishes hot and others semi-cold. We were able to remind her about the water, which she brought. The ragoon was very good and had a ton of filling. The adobo was just okay. I barely took a few bites, but I've had better vegan chicken at home. My friend didn't finish his congee, saying it didn't have enough toppings leaving it a bit bland. As we began eating we realized we were missing one of the dishes we ordered, but we couldn't even ask about it because our server was MIA. She never came to check on how everything was or refill our water that was empty again. We literally didn't see her again until we finished our entire meal! My friend ordered the congee, which typically comes with a soup spoon, but they only gave us chopsticks. He literally dug a plastic spoon out of his bag and used it because he had nothing to eat his soup with and no one to ask. That's pretty embarrassing for a place this pricey.. When she finally came back we had been done eating for probably 10-15 minutes. We ordered dessert (and more water..). The water was quick, but the desserts took another 20 minutes or so. The Pandan kiwi Spongecake was flavorful, but so dry! Spongecake should be light and fluffy, but this felt like it was pre assembled and improperly stored. The Ube crème brûlée was amazing, but lacked any sort of presentation. Once we finally got our bill (you guessed it), we couldn't even find our server to give her our card. After another 10 minutes or so, we spotted her at the bar scrolling on her phone. My husband went up to her with his card and asked if we could pay. Keep in mind, this place charges an automatic 22% tip - there is no incentive to provide good service and it shows. Dinner ended up taking nearly 3 hours, a majority of which was just sitting with empty water glasses and plates. Overall, I would not recommend this place, as the food and service does not match the price tag. read more

If I was vegan I would rate this a 4 as I found many of the flavors mirroring non vegan dim sum. Some of the textures felt more gelatinous vs the non vegan counterpart, but there were definitely some bright spots. Turnip cakes- delicious with great texture. Who knew? Char siu bao also had a nice flavor and texture. Less successful- Chili oil wontons- didn't care much for the chili oil. Wontons were decent but have had many non vegan chili oil wontons that are way better. Lo mai gai had a decent flavor, but was gelatinous goop. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see the vegan in our group happily munching away, Just on another side note, there's an automatic gratuity of 22% added to all bills regardless of party size. The service was atrocious so I won't say much more about this automatic tip except that the tip should reflect the service. Anyways if you're vegan this place feels like an absolute must try if you're a fan of dim sum. read more

Delish!!! What a yummy surprise and I'm not vegan but trying all the things was the best.

The food was pretty good. I'm not vegan but have friends that are and we eat out at different vegan restaurants. The restaurant/space itself is a vibe. It's cute. All the staff were great. We sat outside. The inside it quaint, there are two different sections for seating on the inside. When we arrived at 3:30 there was only one couple dining in, and us, out. About an hour later a decent amount of folks started showing up. Their drinks are yummy and beautifully presented. Parking is street parking. read more

Vegan dim sum!! Oh this food is so good, I would never expect it from the outside which just looks like a distillery but come on in and enjoy the heck out of tea and bunny buns. Oh, make a reservation first! Limited seating fills up fast. Ok, the bunny buns while adorable weren't the best part of the meal. Super cute but a little heavy on the bun and light on filling, as to be expected from a novelty shape. And didn't come with a dipping sauce, but the chili oil from another dish was great with them. Four of us feasted here and I sadly did not get a picture of most items before we dove in. The menu includes pictures of each item as well as descriptions which was very helpful, especially with a table laden with steamer baskets. Exceptionally delicious: gailan (steamed Chinese broccoli topped with sauce and crunchy bits, siu mai (steamed dumplings), char siu bao (bbq filled buns). Don't skip the chili oil wontons! Soft boiled dumplings swimming in a savory spicy sauce. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items! We were too full for dessert but those also looked amazing. read more

Lost its soul, gone downhill. ): I was served an unwashed cup with someone's old pink lipstick on it, old glass noodles on my "fresh washed" plate, chili oil on my seat. The restaurant overall felt dirty--cobwebs, dead flies, and unbussed tables. It felt like no one had cared for the space in quite some time, which immediately made me & my partner uncomfortable. The feast looked so yummy but it was not the same jade as the old location. The 22% service fee sets high expectations for both service and atmosphere.. neither of which were met. It feels like they've lost the love for the place. Won't be returning. read more

We were finally able to make it to Jade Rabbit after hearing amazing stories over the years. Their new space looks really beautiful and straight out of a studio ghibli movie! We were a little thrown by the prices but once we started eating everything, it made a little more sense. Do I wish the prices were lower? Yes but if that's what it takes to make this food so delicious, I'll accept it. We were a party of four adults + one child, and got 4 small plates and 4 big bowls. That was just enough food for all of us. Among the appetizers, the fried wonton stole the show for me - beautifully crisp and had the most succulent filling. My entree was the mapo tofu and Jade Rabbit brought the spice! I was tearing up slightly but could not stop eating it. This is easily the best mapo tofu I've had in a good while. Other dishes ordered were the noodles and congee which got rave reviews as well! The drinks were expensive but the rizz fizz (a lychee matcha concoction) was easily one of the freshest drinks I've ever had. The only letdown was the ube crème brûlée - while the ube was on point the crème brûlée consistency was off. Nevertheless will be back again and I absolutely recommend Jade Rabbit for special occasions! read more

This is definitely a hidden jewel. Parking can be difficult, and you really should get reservations, but all of this is worth it! And for anyone concerned about whether they will like vegan Chinese food, I think my carnivorous friends would eat most of these dishes and never know there was not meat in them. The staff are friendly, the interior is inviting, the patio is lovely, the decor is homey, and, most of all, the food is amazing! My friend, who is a vegan, brought me here for a late lunch. as recommended, we each ordered three of the dim sum items to share. We ordered the Darkside noodles, chili oil wontons, rangoons, gailan, wood ear mushrooms, and sui mai. Because we both knew we wanted to have the Ube crème brûlée, we just had Water to drink rather than one of the delicious sounding cocktails. The food is served all at the same time, normally, although our noodles took a few minutes longer. I'm glad they brought the other foods out first while the noodles were being finished, because otherwise the other items would have been cool instead of warm. Everything was amazingly delicious. My friend adores the noodles although they are a bit spicy for her. I thought they were perfect! The black garlic sauce is amazing on them. The gailan was similarly wonderful with an amazing vegan oyster sauce. Everything was delicious, but those things stand out in my mind. Afterwards, we each ordered the ube crème brûlée, and it was as wonderful as I anticipated! read more

Was excited to check out this vegan dim sum spot for my sister's birthday dinner. The food was incredible and the space was very cute but the service left a little to be desired, super nice but barely checked in on us or refilled our waters.

Love this dim sum spot! It's all vegan, but even meat lovers will enjoy it. We honestly couldn't tell it was plant-based meat. They also have several gluten-free options as well. The Hubs & I shared some wontons, the bunny Bao (almost too adorable to eat!), the turnip cakes, and the grilled radicchio salad. Everything was absolutely delicious! For the wontons, I recommend getting them with the chili sauce on the side, as we did, because that sauce is super spicy and a little goes a long way. Their desserts looked really tempting, too, but we were stuffed. The service by the entire team was so upbeat, friendly, and helpful. Reservations are recommended for peak times, but we lucked out and were able to be seated right away at 1:30p on a Saturday. read more

Beautiful ambience, friendly service, free parking! If you're an Asian non/vegan like me I'm afraid you'll think you spent too much and didn't enjoy the flavors.

It's not common to find a dim sum spot with a lot of menu items I can have. Usually it's just a few. So this is a great spot with many great options. The first time I went there I ordered nearly half the menu to share because I just wanted to try so many things. I can't say that was the only time I did that. That just means there will be leftovers to enjoy. So far I've had the Mapo Tofu which is definitely flavorful and Sichuan comes through. Gailan I usually get this whenever I see it on a menu. It didn't disappoint either. Woodear Mushroom great flavor and sesame taste. Congee a delicious comfort foor for me. It was great here. Char siu bao was pretty good and I'd get again. Fierywind noodle soup was great and I'd get it again Jade dumplings were cute and delicious. Puto bao also cute and delicious Turnip cakes were delicious too. Ube desserts I tried were good. Kimchi. I'd recommend any of the above list. Some I didn't like as much- Special chow fun it was just bland. Some dishes I want to try next are Darkside Noodles, Sisig, and the Adobo. They do add a 22% service charge when dining in regardless of party size for servers and request not to tip. read more

Gorgeously appointed with tall ceilings and an art deco vibe, this space was a treat to dine in. We enjoyed the seasonal old fashioned and 9 different dishes. It's best to eat family style and order a bunch of little dishes with be larger course to split. The darling little bunny bao had a sweetness to the breading which was a nice pairing with the flavorful garlic cucumber salad and spicy rice noodle soup with tempeh. Our server was so sweet and helpful! They also take reservations which we greatly appreciated. Looking forward to returning read more

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. The decor is undeniably cute, and the vibe inside is welcoming. My waitress was kind and attentive, but nothing particularly memorable stood out service-wise. As for the food--it was okay. I ordered a side of white rice, which came out to $5. That price felt pretty steep for something so basic. The chili oil wontons were good, but not great. I was hoping for a kick of spice, and they ended up being more mellow than I expected. I also tried the crab rangoons, and while I don't think they were bad, I came to the realization that maybe they're just not for me. Overall, the food didn't leave a strong impression. It wasn't terrible by any means, but nothing wowed me either. Cute spot, decent service, but I don't see myself rushing back. read more

I rarely write a negative review on Yelp but felt compelled to do so here. As my wife and I sat down to dinner, she said to me, "you know something, I don't smell any food coming from the kitchen." I hadn't either. Our best guess is that they microwave most of their fare. Regardless, it had very little flavor and some of it had a rubbery texture. That said, our server was great. And, we applaud the owners for trying to do something interesting - that is, serving vegan dim sum. However, the food was just a big bummer. read more

Even the non vegans loved this place! Skeptical? So were we, but we really wanted some mapo tofu and Jade Rabbit came up. We've always been interested in non meat options and this place really delivered. Everything we had from the mapo tofu, bunny dumplings, tofu skin rolls, Korean pancakes, and the "octopus special" was so good. We left full and happy. The drinks looked really cute and we had the house g/t with pink peppercorn and house cider. If you are skeptical about vegan dim sum, don't be. It's so good! read more

The jade rabbit really surpassed expectations. The atmosphere, drinks, and food were fantastic. My favorites were the wontons, shumai, the greens, and ube crème brûlée. My carnivore friend wasn't too excited to go to a vegan dinner sum place but left wowed. He wouldn't realize that it was vegan. The alcohol from the in house distillery is also on point. A few reasons for 4 stars though. The bean curd wrap was pretty chewy although the inside was great. Honestly would have been better without the wrap. The service was very slow even though it was pretty empty. It took a while for the waitress to take our order and food was slow to come out. They also would only take the order all at once so we couldn't order a few dishes to start. This defeats the purpose of dim sum in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of the mochi donut. Overall, great experience and looking forward to coming back to trying more dim sum read more

What's up: Our fifth stop for the night will mark the end of tonight's Distillery Row passport journey. I think we did fairly well so far haha! Parking: They have their own parking lot right up front and it was packed. Environment: As expected based on the parking lot, the place was busy when we entered. This place was very different than what we expected. Instead of the regular distillery/tasting room vibe we've been experiencing, this place was a full on restaurant! We didn't have any reservations since we didn't know we needed them, but they were able to seat us on the side after a short wait (they have outdoor seating as well but it was closed due to the rain). Apparently, all the food here is vegan, which was very interesting. We placed our order and had a bit of a wait before it finally arrived. Unfortunately, one of our orders never arrived, so we ended up canceling it. The food and the tasting was ok, but the food presentation was pretty. Restrooms are located towards the back down several hallways and don't forget to pay attention to the code! What was ordered: - Spirit Tasting Flight - Puto Pao Bunny Bao (shaped as bunnies, a bit crumbly when you bite into it) - Chili Oil Wonton (good with a slight kick) - Ismanthus Oolong Iced Tea (refreshing) Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. The experience was ok. I wasn't a fan of the food or drinks. The place was very busy so it was a bit chaotic. Credit cards are accepted. read more

We went in on a Wednesday night and didn't know they were reservations only! They seated us at the bar but quickly gave us a table upstairs as a spot had opened up. Service was so exceptional and attentive. The drinks were good! I got the Jade Rabbit and it was so cute coming with a frozen rabbit. The best dishes were the siu mai and the bbq "pork" buns. I would recommend those above all else. The rest of the dishes were quite bland. I wished there were a bit more flavour in each one. Coming from a practicing Buddhist vegetarian family, I was so hopeful that it would be more tasty! The noodle soup was spicy but needed more depth. I even wish the cucumber had more spice or some kind of kick. Overall very unique to Portland concept and I hope there's more in store! read more

This was my second time visiting Jade Rabbit, both times with traditional meat eaters, while I prefer vegetarian/vegan. We ordered the Rangoon, Puto Pao Bunny Bao, Char Siu Bao, Mapo Tofu, Fiery Wind Noodle Soup, plus the Tigers Eye zero proof drink and the Lychee Lemon Drop. The Rangoon was more flavorful the first visit, but still tasty on the second visit. The bunny Bao needed more filling and we would not order that again. The char siu bao is outstanding! Perfect texture and flavor! The mapo tofu is nice and spicy with an almost curry-like flavor to it. Definitely a must order in my opinion. The fiery wind soup was not our favorite as it was really heavy feeling and not our favorite flavors. We found the tigers eye drink to be ok but the lychee lemon drop is by far the star of the show and worth getting every time! The seating is for 10 tables only so reservations are necessary. I would not say it's a cozy seating experience but I love the jade walls. I would love to see the downstairs atmosphere translate to the dining space upstairs as that would really bring personality to the space. Overall, my meat eating friends enjoyed this experience and I loved having dim sum options without the meat, packed with flavor! read more

We visited this vegan dim sum restaurant (apparently, one of only three in the U.S.) for our anniversary dinner, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The reviews and ratings drove us to trying this place. The food lacked flavor and texture, and the service was very slow. The dim sum (jade rabbit dumplings) were just steamed dough with no filling, and the noodle soup, supposedly a specialty & turnip cakes was completely bland. We just found ourselves adding chilli oil to everything to get some flavour out. The vegan, gluten-free brownie we tried was rubbery and unappetizing--definitely not edible. The only decent item that we willingly finished was the wood ear mushrooms which was served cold but had some taste to it. We were told to order everything at once because the chef prefers it that way, but the food still took 45 minutes to arrive. Overall, the experience was poor, and I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you dislike the texture of mock meats. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant last evening with a friend who recommended it. We absolutely loved every part of the experience!! I would be happily vegan with such yummy food The service was friendly and they explained everything and suggested dishes- all were perfect! The mungbean kimchi cakes were spiced with seasonings, and the dimsums we ordered (chilly oil wantons , siu mai) and dark side noodles were beautifully flavoured, succulent and freshly made. The ube crème brûlée dessert was great and it wasn't very sweet which we loved. Reservations are highly recommended and be prepared to wait for the food as it's freshly made but it is SO worth the wait!! We cannot wait to visit this place again- such soul filling meals! read more

I was a bit unsure about this spot at first as it seemed like one of those "gentrified Asian restaurants", but I was so so nicely surprised. I truly believe this spot offers something amazing to the vegan Portland scene that is difficult to do well. It is difficult to cook dim sum foods without losing the character of the dishes, and especially a vegan version--I never seen it done properly before. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful decorated and offers bar seating and upstairs seating. Make sure to make a reservation as you might get stuck at the bar and have limited dish options (that's what happened to me the first time, and what prompted me to come back just days later with a reservation). Their menu isn't huge, but there's a lot of variety and different types of dishes. Some of my personal (and my friend's) favorites were: the chili oil wontons (get them!!), the char siu bao, and the mapo tofu. The food felt like comfort food, yet at the same time, the ambiance was so nice and a bit elevated, it was a great spot for a weekend night with friends. Highly recommend. read more
