Jade Restaurant

We popped in to try some US Chinese fare outside of Chinatown in LA. The restaurant deserved its general good reviews. Only 1 dish in our order was overly salty- the spare ribs. But the meat was sufficiently tender and, like all US restaurants, generously proportioned. We ordered the broccoli with shrimps and scallops, and it was fresh (veg) and the juicy (shrimps, scallops), though the other way round also works! We supplemented with a beef “hor fun” which is Cantonese for beef noodles without gravy i.e. “dry”. The beef pieces were again generous and tender. Overall, good efforts, tasty, and no after effects of MSG! Prices were very reasonable too.

The food was good but it didn’t appear too busy and the service was very slow. We had to flag our server down multiple times to ask for silverware and the check. Other than that it was pretty good! The shishito peppers and the rainbow roll were stellar! The pad Thai has a unique flavor that’s good but not what we were expecting, and the salt and pepper pork was alright. Really beautiful waterfront view and entertaining performers!

Not sure what happened, but our take out was horrible tonight! Hot & Sour soup tasted like salt water, no vegetables or tofu. Mongolian Beef had too much salt as well, sauce was like water and beef was too chewy! Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes … More
