Nicole S.

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.

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!!

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.

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

Staff was very kind!! I don't eat gluten but the rest of my table did and staff was very helpful with gluten free options as well as most of their food they could make gluten free!! Would definitely go again

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.

Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

This is definitely one of my favorite places in Austin for Asian food and soup dumplings…read more Definitely need to make a reservation because this place is small and always packed. When you arrive, everybody is so nice you give them your name and they get you seated right away. I ordered a drink called a signature tingling Daisy and it was so good. I definitely could've had so many but I was driving so you gotta pace yourself. We started off with the soup dumplings, which are just phenomenal. It's a must when you go. Also, for appetizers, we got the spicy cucumbers which were divine and a hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced and not watery. We also got a beef fried rice and let me tell you that rice is so soft and delicious. You literally dream about it the next day. I also got the pecking duck which is delicious there the skin is nice and crispy and the meat on it taste so good. We also got the Kung pow shrimp with cashews, which was delicious and the pieces of shrimp were gigantic. We also got the green beans which is were delicious. I love ordering green beans when they're cooked just like the ones I posted in the photo. Then for dessert, we got the chocolate mousse which is that little dog cake. I know it's so cute and they made it a little hard to eat because you feel bad in a weird sense. It was delicious now I will say when cutting it and realizing the inside had a raspberry filling, made it a little more crazy cause it looked like blood, but it was still so good. This place is definitely an awesome staple and a must visit when you're in town or just always go and have food there whether it's date night or friends catching up or anything in general even on your own.

I made a reservation for two on Resy and discovered when we got there that it was for the bar for…read moresome reason. This could have been my mistake but I don't remember any choice in the matter. The greeter wasn't very friendly and borderline surly when I asked for more details about how to not book the bar in the future. Didn't get any explanation but fortunately, we won't have to worry about that... The food was just awful. We ordered 3-4 types of dimsum (onion pancake, soup dumplings, chu shou, fried shu mae) and three entries (orange beef, eggplant and their take on ma pao tofu) for the best tasting experience. The curry sauce for the onion pancake was probably the most flavorful dish of the night sadly. The onion pancake was way way over fried-- hard as a rock. If that's their take on onion pancake... well, it's just wrong. The soup dumplings were passable but a bit doughie and the filling was full of a lot of noticeable coagulated fat -- not clear and broth-y, with light surface droplets of oil as all delicious broths. My wife enjoyed the chu shou -- I found the filling much too overcooked and tough -- difficult to eat with chop sticks. Like a tough, overcooked meatball. The fried shu Mae were just plain inedible. My wife and I each ate one and left the rest. The included sauce was basic and too heavy. And again, over fried. There was a huge delay between our apps and our mains, like 40 minutes or so. Various bar staff apologized. It wasn't a big deal, we were in a good conversation and they were super busy but our mains were not at all worth waiting for. Small portions. WAY over sauced. WAY too salty. WAY too sweet. No distinct flavors at all. The ma pao didn't seem to have any Szechuan pepper at all. How do you miss that ? The plating of the eggplant dish was really creative but I don't eat with my eyes and it came with no instruction -- my first bite was just flavorless steamed eggplant cube -- second was mixed with one note sauce. One of the better mains IMO but it was still gloopy and pretty gross. Wife did not enjoy it. The orange beef was essentially just six or seven cubes of tough, fatty beef covered in over-the-top bitter orange peel. We each had a cube and left the rest. Honestly, give me Panda Express any day over this abject failure of a restaurant. Austin needs more Chinese but if it's anything like this place, forget it. I'd rather spend a 4h round trip to Houston and go to even a mediocre Chinese restaurant than endure another meal at this place. What a waste of $165. Edit: I wish I was making this up but I literally had to pull over to throw up on the side of the road on the way home. The food did not sit well with me. I have no underlying health conditions, am not on any medicine that would have this as a side effect and only shared one beer with my wife. It was just a very, very, disappointing and gross meal.

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. And the food delivered! Everything came out fresh, hot, flavorful, and legit. I'd give the food a solid 4.5/5, but the service was an easy 10/10. Great food, exceptional hospitality, and an all-around great experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

This might be the best dim sum in Austin now…read more I actually had never eaten at Shanghai having grown up in Austin. I didn't have their food until around COVID when we got dim sum to go a few times. I remember at that time thinking it was pretty unremarkable, and also quite expensive for dim sum. Fast forward to this year. I'm not sure if they have new ownership or new cooks, but the difference is night and day. I've been a couple of times now for dine-in in dim sum and each time was awesome. You can order off the menu or by QR code. They definitely focus on the classics but they're all executed really well. Standouts for me were the pan fried turnip cake, full of turnip and super sweet, the shrimp and leek pan fried dumplings, shrimp stuffed eggplant, and chili wonton. What makes them unique to me is that the food is all cooked to order and comes out hot and fresh. The fried items are crispy and hot and everything else you can tell just came straight from the kitchen. This avoids the one issue with carts which is that the food has been cooked who knows when and has just been sitting in a steam cart for an unknown amount of time. Also since you order off the menu, you can get exactly what you want instead of having to wait for a cart to come by. The service is always friendly and I've never had to wait to be seated, even on a weekend. If you haven't come here in awhile or written it off in the past, I'd encourage you to come and try it again. Right now it's a hidden gem but if more people realize how much better it is now, it might not be for long. Also bonus points for being a dim sum place that's not super far north like New Fortune 2 or Golden Palace.

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.
