Great place for dim sum

by glittergalaxie

This is a very busy place on Sunday so get there early. It is my boyfriends favorite place for dim sum, and my second. It is almost always fresh and hot, but there are those odd ball times when some of the food is cold, usually on a weekday though. The restaurant is small which means it gets packed, but it also means the carts come around a lot. I have never felt like I was waiting for food here. I have had dirty dishes a few times, and the place is a bit dingy and dirty looking, but I don't really care because I have never found anything funky in my food and I have never gotten sick.

• Pros: good food, nice staff, nice price
• Cons: long waits,

Delicious Dim Sum!

by fuhd_eater

I've never had a bad experience here. This is one of the best places for dim sum in the city that I've had. Always fresh and well prepared. I don't think you can rip on their service, as its a busy place and they aren't really trying to provide world class customer service, just tasty food. Go early if you go on Sunday or you'll never get a seat (maybe unless there are only two of you).

craack. f-u city search. I can't believe you won't let me use that word! (minus that extra "a")

• Pros: Best lo mai gai
• Cons: None

Spectacular Food!-READ THIS!

by kwgriggs

Okay people. We are new here and read the reviews below and were just a little apprehensive but, we went anyway. We have also had the 'dim-sum' experience in numerous 'China Towns' all over the US and London-some good, some bad. SO...Listen up! The negative reviews listed below are just being nit-picky and obviously have little to no experience in dim sum' dining! The food at Jade Garden was so spectacular, fresh and tasty we could not believe it based off of the reviews here. We were seated quckly (lunch on Friday) and the entire wait staff was courteous and quick to help us fill our table with the delights we wanted. If it wasn't on the cart, they went and found it and brought it to the table! We had one teacup with crusted food on the edge, I asked for another one-who's dishwasher doesn't do this occassionaly? Big deal. Dim-sum requires basic tolerance (because anyone who eats good Chinese food knows to go wherever they go), understanding on how the carts work and time of the day as well as seeking out what you want. What American doesn't understand that! Go! Enjoy! and be sure to give the wait staff your best manners and see what you get back! This will be a regular place for us! Superb dim-sum!

• Pros: The Dim-Sum!
• Cons: Typical International Restaurant: Atmosphere/Cleanliness-Bathrooms were better than expected
