I first found this place through Lonely Planet, and I’m really glad I trusted that recommendation. I came here with my husband, and the food turned out to be truly authentic.
We ordered the lobster, and honestly—it was exceptionally good. Fresh, flavorful, and done the right way. It’s hard to find this level of taste, and this dish alone made the visit worth it.
I’ve noticed something interesting in the U.S.: many of the most authentic Chinese restaurants—whether for dim sum or Sichuan food—often sit around a 4.1–4.3 rating. That’s usually because people complain about service. Personally, I don’t care about that at all. What matters to me is whether my mouth is happy, and this place absolutely delivered.
Also, if you’ve ever eaten in Hong Kong, you know servers don’t greet you with big smiles or constantly check on you—and that’s completely normal. I don’t need small talk. I come for real food, and this is the real thing.
If you care about authentic flavors more than fancy service, this place is a gem.

Great authentic food. I tried the beef rice roll, chicken and shrimp steamed buns and steamed custard buns. I like that they served me tea and chop sticks right when I sat down instead of water and never offered me silverware. Minimal talking needed, I place my order using a QR code, a process that works well. The restaurant is clean and well kept.

Middle of the road restaurant. Went in after the Seahawks parade (GO HAWKS!!!) and managed to beat the crowd for a table.
Network was bad and was unable to load the QR code. Requested and got a paper order form instead.
Stuck to the dim sum dishes and they were mostly decent. The shrimp stuffed tofu was a bit insipid as was the fried squid. The turnip and taro were good and the shrimp stuffed eggplant (that we had to wait for a bit) was also good. The sticky rice was heavy on the rice.
Restroom was so so. One urinal was not even separated from the sink. By the time we left, there was a large crowd waiting for a table.

On Christmas Day, with rain falling hard enough to empty sidewalks, Jade Garden felt like the city doing what it does best: feeding people well, without spectacle.
The standout rib bites arrive glossy and unassuming, the meat tender to the point of collapse, clinging to bone with just enough resistance. The sauce leans savory rather than sweet, driven by fermented black bean and rendered pork fat. It’s a dish that rewards patience and attention, meant to be eaten slowly, piece by piece, the way it’s always been served.
The salted fish and chicken fried rice is the kind of plate that separates serious kitchens from passable ones. Proper wok heat, no clumping, no grease slick. Each grain stays distinct, carrying the funk and depth of salted fish without overwhelming the dish. Chicken stays moist, egg is folded through rather than scrambled into submission, scallions add lift. It’s balanced, assertive, and deeply satisfying.
Elsewhere on the table: sesame-crusted dumplings with a crisp chew, golden fried chicken that stays crunchy despite the steam, and soft rolls that make quiet sense in the middle of it all.
Jade Palace doesn’t chase trends or soften flavors for comfort. It cooks with confidence, rooted in tradition, and trusts the diner to meet it there. On a cold, wet Seattle holiday, that confidence felt like generosity.
This is food that knows what it is. And that’s the point.

Our family had a very nice dim sum late lunch in an almost empty restaurant on a rainy Wednesday around 2:00. Service was friendly, efficient and attentive. Fairly priced and delicious.

Go-to dim sum spot in the CID with a solid selection of dishes. Located in one of the historic buildings at 7th and King, family-owned. They do it old school and don’t cut corners. Easy to grab a table during the weekdays, but it gets busy fast on weekends.

Had an amazing dim sum experience at Jade Garden! The Pork Shiu Mai with Chinese Mushroom, Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Scallops and Shrimp Dumplings, Steamed Beef with Parsley Dumplings, Honey Walnut Prawns, and Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce were all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
Love the traditional dim sum tray system—take what you want as the server passes by, while they keep a separate tally. A little language barrier, but easy to figure out once you see it in action.
Pictures include some of the dishes we tried and a snapshot of us enjoying the meal—such a fun and authentic dim sum experience!

The food is okay. It actually feels homemade, which is a good thing. Comfort-food vibes. Just not “perfected” yet. More like: good home cook, not master chef.
You walk in, get a tray, choose your dishes… then wait.
And wait.
And wait.
No server. No instructions. No clue.
Eventually, we noticed a random QR code and realized, “Oh… maybe we’re supposed to scan this and order ourselves?” Cool. Except the app has no pictures, no guidance, and no explanation. So now you’re ordering food like it’s a mystery box.
Surprise. Hope you like it.
At that point, it felt like this place is designed for regulars who already know the system. If it’s your first time, you’re basically on your own.
Once the food arrived, it was decent. Tasty, comforting, but nothing that makes you go “wow.”
Not bad. Not amazing. Just… confusing.
With better instructions, clearer ordering, and a little more polish, this place could be much better.
Right now, it feels like joining a club without getting the rulebook.

The food here was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and some of the best dim sum I’ve had in Seattle. Unfortunately, the customer service was the complete opposite of the food quality. One server rudely asked if we were ever going to order, and when we said yes, he came back and literally tossed the menus onto our table. Every time he returned, he never smiled or said a word, which really put a damper on an otherwise fantastic meal. This was Friday August 8, at 7 pm! We spent $162 and tipped well. We are all from the service industry and now we record food reviews so we understand that not every day is a good day but to have menus thrown at us and mean service is insane! The rude service was given by an older, tall-ish dark haired man with glasses. We only asked for 2 things during our time here. A fork and a sprite. You would have thought we asked the man for his first born child!

We hosted my friend’s baby shower at this place, the staff were so friendly and cool about it. The food was absolutely delicious, best dim sum I’ve had. They are seeing diminishing business around the neighborhood. Hopefully there’s more support for the local restaurants and we get to keep their 25 year old restaurant going!
