We wanted dim sum but didn’t really know which one. We decided to give Jade Cathay a try. There’s plenty of parking next to the restaurant. We were seated and we scanned the QR code and started ordered. We ordered jumbo fried crab claws, siu mai, black bean ribs, baked bbq buns, and beef chow fun with tender greens. The dim sum came out relatively quick, the black bean ribs were a decent size and tasted good. The siu mai was smaller than some places but not bad. The baked bbq buns had this amazing glaze on it and was super fluffy with great cha siu inside. The fried crab claws were huge!! It had minced shrimp and in the very middle there’s crab meat attached to the claw, it was fun to eat and very delicious. The beef chow fun was a big size but we were already pretty full after two of us ate 4 dim sums. We ended up taking a lot of the beef chow fun home to eat. The noodles had wok hay and there was plenty of beef and bok choy. Overall, pretty satisfied with the dim sum here!
We ordered mixed chicken vegetables, beef chow fun and vegetable pot stickers. They close early — 8 p.m. You order on the mini machine at the table and then it gets sent to the kitchen. A bowl of white rice is $3. Overall great food, except the taste of the vegetable pot stickers was a bit too health.
We visited only once by chance and are happy we did. We ordered only Dim Sum. Listed below from best to least favorite:
1. Chinese Donut Rice Noodle Roll. As odd as it sounds, we took a chance, and we were delighted how good it was in the end. We could return just for that. It has a slight cake donut flavor with the Noodle and sauce. Soft steamed Noodle wrapped around a slightly crunchy donut.
2. Scallop and Shrimp Dumplings. These were pretty delicious.
3. Fried Shrimp Ball. Not oily at all and tasted great.
4. Steamed Pork and Chile Dumplings. Not spicy. More on the sweet side. But still tasted great.
5. Rice Noodle Roll Shrimp. Staple for us and pretty standard menu item.
6. Shanghai Soup Dumplings. Taste was okay. There was no soup inside the Dumplings.
Staff was friendly and attentive. You order from an app on your phone. Staff will come to repeat your order and tape it to your table.
