Jade Seafood Restaurant - Richmond

Wow what an amazing restaurant. We made a reservation for dinner at this restaurant and when we got there, realized it wasn't the place we had in mind, but went inside regardless, and again, WOW, it was the best mistake that evening! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh with amazing flavors. We had lobster that was pulled straight from the tank, the fried rice and chow mein were on point and not oily by any means, and the sweet and sour pork is an absolute must have! I definitely recommend this place because I know we'll be coming back here again, very soon!

The food was good and nicely presented. The only drawback was that it got busy at around 7 and it took awhile 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.

This is one of the best chinese restaurant in town. The environment is cosy, the service is excellent, the food quality is very consistent. They never make us down. Recently their $128 for 4 dinner set is the best value for money choice that you cannot miss. The beef tenderloin is so tender and surprisingly the eggplant is not too oily. The lobster is fresh and very savoury and flavorful.

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?
