Local hidden gem for dim sum in Midtown!!…read more All-day, made-to-order Cantonese dim sum and classic stir-fry dishes, instead of the traditional dim sum cart service. Parking: One of the few spots in Midtown Sacramento with a dedicated private parking lot for customers, which is a big plus! The dining room also has a fun interactive fish tank. I really like that they make everything to order. Since the dim sum doesn't sit on a heated cart going around the restaurant, the food comes out piping hot and full of juice. The restaurant has a relaxed neighborhood-staple vibe and doesn't have the chaotic feeling of some of the bigger dim sum halls. Portions are also pretty big, and the dim sum pieces are generous enough to share. We ordered some regular dim sum staples: har gow, dumplings, porridge, taro, etc. One of the stand-out dishes was the shaomai. They are packed really densely with thick pieces of pork and shrimp instead of a lighter, paste-like filling. The egg tart was another favorite. Good size, flaky and warm crust, with a perfectly silky, warm custard center. The scallion pancake (green onion pancake) is also a must-try appetizer. It has a really light, crispy and flaky texture. The only thing I thought was a little off was the skin on the har gow and Shanghai dumplings. It was a bit thicker than I personally prefer. Service: Fast and friendly. They kept checking on our group: clearing used dishes, refilling the tea pot, and bringing the bills when we were ready. Price: Very competitive! Overall, a really nice neighborhood dim sum spot in Midtown. I would definitely come back, especially when I want hot, freshly made dim sum without the busy cart-service experience.

Every dish was honestly so good with well balanced sauces and perfectly cooked proteins. Our favorites were the Mongolian beef, cashew chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. The family dinner was a great value too. The bathrooms were clean and someone came by every few minutes to refill waters and check on us. Excited to have a new place for dinner.

Just for takeout now but there's a love for this place still. Ordered the bbq chow mein today since I wanted a simple noodle lunch. Asked them to spice it up for me. The chow mein was cooked nicely with some chew left to the noodles that I like. Can't tell from the photo but there was a lot of bbq pork mixed in. I like it here, it's simple and sometimes that's all you need for a quick easy lunch.

It's a small…read moretakeout place, and one day when I couldn't decide what to eat, I decided to try the BBQ pork chow mein. I ordered it spicy, and the lady told me it already came spicy. Personally, I didn't find it spicy at all -- I think they use chili paste because you can taste the vinegar. Still, I was really impressed with the portion size for under $10. My husband and I shared it, and there was even enough left over for my cousin. We ordered it again another time, and I just asked for the BBQ pork chow mein, assuming it automatically came spicy since that's what I was told before. Unfortunately, it actually doesn't come spicy lol. Either way, the chow mein tastes good. I've also tried the siu mai and ha gow. I didn't really like the siu mai -- not sure if it's from the basket they store it in, but both my husband and I noticed a smoky, slightly burnt taste. The ha gow was decent though. They can get pretty busy, so I usually try to call my order in ahead of time. One time I called in for dim sum, but they didn't pack it until I arrived. Another time I called ahead for chow mein and still ended up waiting quite a while once I got there. One thing that annoyed me a little: I asked for soy sauce and chili oil, then noticed they also had chili paste and asked for some of that too -- and the lady took away the chili oil! Like, really? They also have weekday specials, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. If you work around the area, this place is a good option to eat for lunch.

Adj: dependably and predictably ok Chinese food…read more We've been coming here for Chinese meals both sit down and take out from when they used to be Holiday Villa. That was decades ago. About 10 or so years ago, they changed ownership or rather they went through what seems like several changes and then they became Lucky Jade which is kind of a chain but not exactly. I recall at one time, the workers wear shirts that look kind of like uniforms with another store's name on the back with address and phone numbers, so apparently Lucky Jade is owned by people who also own a few other Chinese restaurants but not by the same exact name. In any case, Chinese food can be pretty formulaic, so it's not really that hard to have consistency as long as the cooks know how to make common standard dishes, the taste generally would not be too different. This is true for Lucky Jade. We had take out recently and got a chow fun, a chow mein, and a broccoli beef. The first was quite tasty, on the oily side but I've not found any place able to make it not too oily and still yummy so it's necessary for this dish. Then there's the chow mein, this one was not good. Kind of non descript and the oil tasted oil (reused). Not too greasy which is my biggest complaint of chow mein from elsewhere like New Lai Wah, but again, this did not taste fresh. Finally, the broccoli beef was overcooked. Broccoli was not quite mushy but almost, still a little bit of crunch but you can see they were turning yellow. And the beef was so chemically tenderized (hopefully only with baking soda and not worse) bc it was also almost mushy. Wasn't cheap either, but on par with other Chinese restaurants around here for take out. I think I'll just tell my in laws they can just order from Bel Air Hot Chinese food deli on Florin Rd which is in the same plaza and they'd pay less and the food would actually taste better with fresher oil (probably not reused) and better quality beef that doesn't need to be tenderized to a questionable quality. Overall, not too good.

ok- how can a prior review go from a 4 star to a 2 star in less than a month? Here is my…read moreexplanation. We had some friends over and decided to grab some traditional and non traditional Chinese cuisine for lunch. Hence we opted to dine at Lucky Jade for their diverse menu, accommodations to dishes due to allergy constraints, and fast service. So what did we order: 1) chicken teriyaki with sauce on the side: the entree arrived covered with teriyaki sauce. What was troubling, the server was trying to have our diner accept the kitchens mistake of covering the chicken with sauce..even when our diner refused, the server tried again to convince our diner to accept this dish. finally, the head wait staff told the server to take the item back to the kitchen. However, when the dish returned, the chicken was no longer grilled but fried. I hope the kitchen didn't rinsed the chicken off of the teriyaki sauce and deep fried the same chicken instead of grilling a fresh piece of chicken. Plus, our diners bowl of rice was forgotten and we had to remind the wait staff. 2) broccoli chicken w/fried rice: it was your basic american chinese dish and our diner only orders chinese combo plates. So he had no complaints. 3) Green bean chicken in black bean sauce: very nice black bean flavor, tender moist chicken but half of the green beans were old and stringy. The prep cook needed better prepping in food preparation- please toss out old green beans before the cooks prepare an entree- what was sad, this dish is always exceptionally well prepared in the past. Not today. 4) fried smelt: very good. no complaints on this dish. 5) chicken and asparagus in garlic sauce: moist chicken but again the prepping of the asparagus was lacking. When our wait staff informed us that they had fresh asparagus- we jumped to her reco. Unfortunately, this dish was served with the woody bottom ends of the asparagus. Which is tough, stringy, and just inedible. Plus, our dishes arrived at different times- in some cases 5-10 minutes apart. Perhaps the Kitchen staff had communication and food prep issues today. Not sure, but i would not recommend dining here on a Sunday. Perhaps the "B or C" team of cooks and prep cooks were definitely working tonight. And the wait staff should have caught the mistake from the kitchen and never served that dish...let alone, trying to push a dish that was not properly prepared or requested by the diner. That is also unacceptable. sorry no pics. Would I return....not sure now.

But for today, i wanted to try their take-out stir fry dishes. So what did we order. 1) Broccoli chicken in garlic sauce entree. chicken was rough and lacked flavor. It seemed recooked and prepped earlier. Broccoli was fresh and cooked very al dente (i guess it is better cooked less to retain the vitamins and nutrients). the garlic sauce had minimal flavor. i would say it is meh. would i order this dish again....good question. 2) spareribs in black bean sauce over rice. the dish looked very good. Too bad it didn't taste as well as it looked. Let's start with the rice. The rice was cold, grainy, a little hard, and tasted like it was prepared the other day. Blah. The pork also lacked flavor- it had a mealy texture and dry. As if the pork pieces were boiled in hot water first as the initial prep which destroyed the texture hoping the black bean sauce would cover the poorly prepared pork pieces- blah, Yuck, awful. However, the veggies (bell pepper:onions) were tasty and prepared well. The sauce was decent but it did have more of a soy sauce flavor than black bean flavor. Would i order this again- nope. never. walk away. I hope their other pork dishes are not boiled in water first as well. blah. Prices are a bit higher with the new owners. But food cost are higher everywhere.. $15 for the broccoli chicken and $12.75 for the spareribs in black bean sauce. Would i come back for the entrees- nope. but perhaps i will try their dim sum another time.
