Lovely dim sum restaurant in Westlake area. The service is friendly and prompt. The menu is extensive with all the dim sum options you typically find + a regular Chinese menu. Dumplings are my absolute fav and I love trying out all the different kinds. I think they were cooked well. The dumpling wrapper is thin and the insides juicy. Go with a group so you can try many things!

Shrimp Har Gow, siu mai, turnip cake, and Steamed Dumpling

I have visited Jade a couple of times in the past and I used to think that this restaurant was one of the better dim sum restaurants in the Austin area; however, the quality isn't worth 5 star anymore. The did offer the traditional cart-style dim sum where they serve dim sum to each table in rolling carts - the Saturday that I went only had a few people during lunch time and probably why they didn't offer that anymore. I was surprised by the lack of customers during the peak lunch hours. In terms of food, the shrimp dumplings and steam dumplings were still solid choices, but the Sui mai doesn't really taste all that great - it's a bit plain and not enough ingredients. It's a bit unfortunate since there are better and newer dim sum places in Austin now, probably won't return anytime soon.

Disgraceful Beef Chow Fun, soaking wet and too salted.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch with two entrees and dim sum. Beef chow fon was overly wet and salted. Shrimp in lobster sauce was like a boring soup. Shrimp balls and pork wontons in hot chili sauce were good, but other dim sum were ordinary. Felt like a wasted meal.

Shanghai Soup Dumplings (I'd skip this)

An Asian hidden gem in Westlake! I love eating family style and this place is perfect for that! Big or small group this is a great place. The menu is extensive and of the 8 dishes I ordered with my friend I loved basically 80% of them which is a win! I would definitely say this is authentic Chinese food (I'm Vietnamese but to me it's good lol). They offer Vietnamese food also and I recommend the shaken beef if you never had it and their chicken basil dumpling! I love the shrimp balls also! My gosh I can't wait to take my family here when they come to visit!

I wrote previous review as a to-go experience, but recently went to the restaurant for dim sum dine-in. Following New Fortune, Jade Restaurant has become the new best Dim Sum in Austin. The space is smaller and they don't have the carts that walk around, but ordering a la carte actually feels more streamlined. And sure, there are fancier dim sum fusion options in Austin, but this is the more traditional dim sum menu. The drive is a bit further from central Austin, but would recommend trying this place out if you want dim sum!

We went here for Christmas dim sum which tradition we started in Connecticut and continued in Texas. The food was delicious hot some of the best dims of the I had outside of Canada. It was traditional food carts, so the food was hot and fresh and continuously coming out of the kitchen May for a great Christmas experience coming back in March. Look forward to bringing some friends to enjoy this experience. Had a very good time.

Literally amazing food, cute restaurant, and super fast service! Will definitely come back

Beef chow fun
Paula L.

Sadly the quality has gone down over the years. I dont think they have a chef on staff anymore. Just cooks because the authenticity of the food shows. I got the combination pan fried noodle and it didn't come with gravy on top like how it should. Instead it has this dark soy all over it and just overall not appetizing. The beef chow fun had a weird texture. I don't think they cooked it enough. I'll be taking a break from Jade.

Pork buns and pan fried dumplings
Dawn G.

We are from California visiting relatives in Austin and had a while to kill. Saw Jade on google and decided to try out for lunch. What a treat...had potstickers pan fried, bbq pork buns and Mongolian beef. Everything was outstanding!!! Beauty interior and friendly staff!!! Would highly recommend!!

Shanghai Soup Dumplings (3 Per Order)
Desiree G.

Came in during opening on a Sunday. They were already out of one of the dim sum items. Service was really quick and most of the food came out quickly. Soup dumpling were a bit small and not so soupy. Pork ribs were really chewy, would not recommend. Chinese broccoli, bao buns, spicy wontons were all good. Really great prices. Fed 3 people for around $80

My friends were craving dim sum late at night, so here we are at Jade Restaurant, one of the few places within Austin that will serve dim sum style dishes all day. Great selection and a good amount of room for parties. Atmosphere: Modern Chinese Restaurant aesthetic. Nothing too flashy, but good room for parties. Food: If you crave a particular chinese dish they probably have it here. My favorite standout being the honey walnut shrimp. The dimsum dishes are solid as are their soup dumplings. It'll certainly sate the cravings, so choose what your heart desires. Service: Friendly and attentive, nothing too stand out but I remember our waiter at the time was great at helping us. All that and dim sum. Certainly a spot worth considering if you are in the area and craving some Chinese foods.

Siu mai

There aren't many dimsum places in Austin, Jade is one of the rare finds in Austin, especially when the only Asian food I see hyped around town is sushi, ramen, or kbbq. Jade is tucked along 360, which makes for a beautiful (and depending on the time of day, traffic-filled) drive. They have quite a few items to order on the menu, but for me it was all about the dimsum. If you've never had dimsum, its basically Cantonese tapas (small plates) that you enjoy for brunch. Most items are steamed in a bamboo steamer. I highly recommend: -Steamed shrimp har gow: the wrapper of this dumpling is made of wheat and tapioca, which makes it translucent. This probably my favorite item to order. Shrimp tasted fresh and had a good texture. -Shanghai soup dumplings: Soup dumplings can be hard to make (and thus find). Inside of this dumpling is meat and broth. Do not pick it up with a fork! You might puncture the dumpling and cause the soup to spill out. Pick up the dumpling by the 'knot' at the top, optional is to hold it in a spoon. Then nibble a bit of the skin so that you can slurp some of the soup. This is important because sometimes the soup can be HOT. Unfortunately my criticism so far is that it's not quite hot enough (maybe in consideration for broader, potentially-unaware audience). -Shrimp & pork siu mai: A classic dish, on point! -Steamed BBQ pork buns: One of my coworkers really liked this (White-Coloradoan-approved!) . Sweet and savory, the meat just pairs so well with the white fluffy bun, it's just the right combo. It's a bit out of the way for probably most people, but I'd recommend a drive over. There's just so many more items to order, I'm definitely coming here again! I give Jade Restaurant 4 Cantonese action flicks, out of 5

I would never leave a five star review only off of ambiance... The food here is absolutely AMAZING! Best soup dumplings in the US, period. I hate to think people will assume I am overselling, but the truffle fried rice is also a 10/10; it's cooked perfectly every time. The vast majority of the dishes are delicious and surprising; from Har Gow, to Beef chow fun, and sea cucumber dumplings. All this to say, Qi is in my top 3 Asian restaurants in Austin. And I have been to MANY. The only thing I don't absolutely love is the service, all of the waiters are friendly though.

There is now a waitress that you can place an order instead of the QR code system. The business have taken customer feedback and made adjustments to their business which I appreciate. Our Waitress is Amanda is Super friendly and provided great service. She was attentive and checked in with us often. Neat fact about Shanghai is they make the dumplings fresh and daily in house. No frozen dumplings and you can definitely taste the difference. This is the only dim sum place that I love and go to. They do not disappoint and for the most part is really consistent with their dim sum. The price is comparable to other dim sum places in Austin. My regular 5/5 favorites * pork shrimp sumai * shrimp eggplant- * pork puff * shrimp chive pan fried dumplings * black bean pork * chicken feet * fried shrimp ball * sesame balls Something new added to my favorite: * fried chicken dumpling - they were so kind to give us this complimentary dim sum and I am so glad they let us tried it because I usually don't order the chicken dumplings. I am surprise how good these fried chicken dumplings are. The texture of the chicken is bouncy yet juicy. And the flavor of the chicken with the veggies was really good. Do I recommend this place? Yes Best dim sum in town! Authentic. Made freshly daily. No weird fillers. Fresh dim sum. Go get itttttt!

Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they repeatedly told us not to rush. We never felt limited in what we could order or pressured to finish up and leave, which we really appreciated.

Great food, exceptional hospitality, and an all-around great experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

I love the inside aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. It is a perfect size and has a lot of different table options for both larger and smaller groups, and the seats were comfortable and setting intimate. The service was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, explained the menu to me so I knew what I could eat safely with my gluten allergy, and even mentioned that they had gluten free dumplings off menu to which I quickly said, "Yes please!" Everything is traditional Sichuan, farm to table, and organic. The quality of the food was excellent, and outside of the dumplings, I could not tell the food was gluten free modified. The dumpling wrapper was most likely rice, but the pork filling was so good - it had subtle ginger notes and a sweet pork which was lovely. The Sichuan Deep Fried Chicken was hard to stop eating, but we had to because we had entrees coming! Definitely enough to feed 4 people as an appetizer, not too spicy, perfectly breaded and fried, and the chicken was super tender. We also got the Wok Toasted Cumin Lamb and the Chengdu Chili Chicken. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked with veggies and a subtlety spicy sauce that wasn't drowning the food and the flavors. I love Sichuan food because the veggies aren't cooked until soft, so they still had a fresh snap to them and complimented the spicy chicken well. The lamb is one of those dishes that you eat knowing that as you let it sit longer it will only keep getting better. I love the way the lamb was breaded/coated. Sometimes you have coated meat and it is not properly fried or some areas are dry, and then it isn't strongly seasoned so it tastes blah. Not this lamb! The seasoning, flavors, all shined bright with this beautifully tender lamb, and I also loved how it wasn't drowning in sauce which would have softened the subtle crunch. We took some home and about 3H later it was even better. Loved this dish! I also got their smashed pumpkin cocktail which may seem steep at $23, but oh was it delectable and worth every dime for some quality bourbon and nicely balanced fall pumpkin drink. If you're looking for something sweet, this isn't it, but you actually still taste the bourbon (which is delicious) and subtle pumpkin, and it was DELICIOUS. Overall, 5/5 hands down, and I'm only sad we didn't come sooner!

They make…read moreit stress-free to order as a vegan with a clearly marked menu and knowledge staff to help when in doubt. They do tend to get busy, as one would expect for such a limited window of opportunity, so come armed with patience. Even if it takes a bit to get a table, service is fast as can be. You'll be chowing down in no time once you can secure a seat. If you ask me, the crispy turnip cakes with shiitake are a must. It's so hard to find this made without meat or seafood, and they're doing it right. The braised eggplant is a close second favorite, but it is admittedly a large entree, not dim sum, though that's a good thing because it means you can order it any day, any time. The spicy cucumbers were also excellent, refreshing and crisp, perfect as a palate cleanser or started. Next time, I might skip the veggie dumplings, which were fine, but tasted mostly of cabbage, and little else. Most importantly, come with a crowd so you can order all the things and share around. That's the point of dim sum, after all.
