Verdict: Our expert take on Jade
Food (6.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 96% of the guests
When it comes to the food here, its a bit of a mixed bag, but theres definitely potential! With a score of 6.8, it lands in the average range, and customer satisfaction sits at a mixed 66.7%. Out of 63 comments, 42 were positive, praising delicious items like the dumplings, Beef chow fun, and honey walnut chicken.
Many loved the generous portions and appreciated the freshly cooked meals that often tasted like home. However, 17 comments highlighted some areas for improvement. Some found the food overpriced or criticized the thick gloopy sauce that tasted of bullion cube and burned garlic.
There were also mentions of bland potstickers, excessive onion, and food arriving cold. A serious concern about food poisoning was also raised, which is definitely something to consider.

If youre looking for generous portions and specific flavorful dishes like their dumplings or chow fun, you might find a solid meal here. However, be mindful of potential issues with sauce quality and consistency, as some experiences were quite disappointing. Its a bit of a gamble, but could be worth it for the right dish.
Service (6.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 71% of the guests
When it comes to service, this spot generally hits a good note, scoring a solid 6.8. Many customers, accounting for 23 positive remarks out of 35, rave about the friendly staff, excellent hospitality, and quick delivery options. It seems the owners and their team really make an effort to be accommodating, making takeout and delivery a breeze.
However, the customer satisfaction, sitting at a 65.7% mixed bag, suggests there are some bumps in the road. A few folks, 7 to be exact, felt pressured to tip, experienced long waiting times for their orders, and even mentioned feeling scammed or encountering deceitful staff. Definitely something to keep in mind.

Ambience (4.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 54% of the guests
While the overall score for ambience sits at an average 4.7, and customer satisfaction is a poor 25%, there are some definite bright spots. Based on 28 comments, with 7 positive remarks, many appreciate the unique vintage atmosphere and the fun of the Diamond Pool tables. Its also noted as one of the few spots open late, with easy parking for some.
However, with 16 negative remarks, there are significant concerns. Many found the layout odd and the place lacking in cleanliness, describing it as dusty or dirty. The area itself is often called sketchy, and the building exterior, with its boarded windows, doesnt help.
Parking can also be a pain, and it can get quite loud and crowded.

If youre looking for a late-night spot with a vintage vibe and enjoy a game of pool, this place might be worth checking out.

Value (3.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 32% of the guests
When it comes to value, a few customers found the price to be decent and fine. Out of 11 customer remarks, only 2 were positive, suggesting that while some found the cost acceptable, this isnt a common sentiment. The overall score for value sits at a rather low 3.6, indicating significant room for improvement.
However, the majority of feedback points to concerns about things being pricey and overpriced, with some noting an extra $10 charge for rice. Many felt the food wasnt worth the amount they charge, especially given small portions. Customer satisfaction for value is quite low at 18.2%, reflecting these widespread concerns about cost and perceived worth.

How are the prices at Jade?
You’re looking at roughly 39 per person – reported by 15 diners. That puts it in the $31–$40 category. For a Chinese Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Looking at what people actually spend, it’s quite a mix! While the average hovers around 39, many diners find options in the $11–$20 range, but there are also quite a few who splurge on meals costing 71 – 100 $ or more. So, you can find both budget-friendly bites and more premium experiences here.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 15 reviews.
How this restaurant’s value stacks up against similar spots in Seattle.
Overall, we think the pricing feels pretty fair for a Chinese restaurant in Seattle, especially since there’s such a wide variety of price points to choose from. You can tailor your visit to your budget!

Decent Takeout with Generous Portions
My experience at the Doubletree in San Jose was pretty quiet, with only a couple of other diners. We ordered a couple of meals to go, and the price was decent at around $90 total. The portions were generous, especially the orange chicken.
However, there was a *lot* of onion in the orange chicken, and perhaps a little less would be amazing! Parking was easy.

Decent Food, Sketchy Area
I tried this place on Aurora Ave N today. Finding it was super confusing due to a misleading parking sign and the building looking a bit rough. We experienced a 20-minute wait for our takeout order, and the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy.
The food itself was decent, offering good portions for the price, though the extra $10 for rice felt excessive. More outdoor seating would have been a nice addition.

Tasty Food, Huge Portions, Loud Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant located at 8904 Aurora Ave N was quite eventful. It was very busy when I visited, with a lot of takeout orders. The owners were super friendly, though definitely loud.
The food was really tasty, and the portions are huge, making them good for sharing. However, parking is a pain, it's chargeable, and there was a bit of a wait. I suggest they consider some outdoor seating to help ease the crowding.

Late-Night Eats with Big Portions
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for a late-night spot. The owners have kind intentions, though their shouting to be heard over the kitchen noise might come across as rude due to a culture difference. The food was yummy, and the portions were big and shareable.
It's a fantastic place to hit after a night out because they are one of the few spots open late.
