Jade House Chinese Place - Richmond

The food was well presented. The only drawback was that it was busy with around 7 and it took to find someone to take our order.

Tasty and good quality food. We tried 5 different steamed, pan-fried, and deep-fried dim sums, and they were all different and well prepared. We tried some new items that we'd never tried before, and they were all amazing and freshly made. We got there just before they do the last call for the lunch, so we didn't get the best service and we had to hear them prepare all the other tables loudly even though it was still before their closing time for lunch, but they still let us stay to finish our food since we called and asked them before getting there.

Eating out is getting to be so costly, and eating at Jade seafood is no exception; $35 per person for dim sum is a bit much though. Sure the food is good, service is adequate and parking is ok too but I do miss the days when $20 per person was already too much and those days not that long ago. But, hey, no fair to whine just about Jade as eating out is getting to just be too expensive in Vancouver all over. Food as I said remains good, and they do use quite high quality ingredients ie. the chicken paws in their phoenix claws are the larger, more expensive ones instead of the tiny ones at other places, the prawn rice rolls has 3 large succulent prawns in each roll, and the Har Gau also stuffed with these large prawns. The egg tarts were great as it was served warm nice touch! Service was nothing exceptional except that like most places now, there does seem to not be enough staff and the only thing that helped was that the restaurant was not full. Dim sum restaurants on Saturdays at 12:30 should be jam packed with people forming a line, but not so at Jade! Maybe there’s a reason for this that I’ve not figured out yet could it be that indeed they’re too expensive now?

You have an early bird dim sum of 20 percent from 10 am to 11 pm. You can make reservations that are recommended. If you need to choose, choose the shrimps that pour over the pig. Everything we ordered was good. They use large shrimps for their rice rolls, which is beautiful. The pig Bao was beautiful and fluffy. Free parking is available on the parking lot.

Delicious dim sum and great service. Busy place so don't forget to make a reservation.
