The texture was a little weird, as it was about half peanuts/half meat, but it had a complex flavor I'd like to try again.Īlthough we've just started, I think Jade Garden will emerge as one of the best, if not THE best dim sum place in Seattle. I'm not sure what it's called, but it's a dumpling with a clear wrapper, similar to har gow, but filled with ground pork and shrimp, peanuts, and some sort of brown sauce. I've eaten a lot of dim sum in my day, and I'd like to think I've tried just about everything, but I encountered something completely new today. I like the steamed ones better, but these came around first :) I liked the strong star anise flavor, just wish the soy flavor could've been there to round it out.īaked char siu bao were perfect - fluffy buns with a sweet glazed top, and sweet barbecue pork inside. They tasted as if they were either not braised with the sauce, or not braised for long enough. The feet themselves were bigger and had more meat/skin on them, but they seemed to be missing something. Jade Garden's had a stronger star anise flavor, but otherwise just tasted a little weaker. The one dish that Honey Court did better than Jade Garden was the chicken feet.

I preferred the shrimp and chive dumpling to the har gow, because it didn't fall apart quite as much, plus I loved the strong chive flavor. The wrapper for the har gow was a little flimsy, but it didn't really effect the taste, just made eating a little frustrating. All were delcious, although the eggplant was room temperature, verging on cold. We tried several different shrimp based offerings, including fried shrimp-stuffed eggplant, har gow and pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings. These two things set the pace for the rest of the meal, which was as close to San Francisco or Vancouver dim sum as I've found in Seattle.

The noodles were slippery and very fresh tasting, encasing some nice sized shrimp. The siu mai were very juicy and flavorful - probably a lot of pork fat involved. We started off with two dim sum standards, a good way to judge the overall ability of a dim sum place: siu mai, and cheong fan. The restaurant is a definite step up in decor from Honey Court, but with Chinese restaurants increase in decor can often mean decrease in flavor. They were also out of custard buns.Jade Garden is pretty well known as one of Seattle's top dim sum places, and this could easily be seen by the packed house on a Tuesday morning. There were so many other things we wanted to try, The lobster dumplings looked really good, for one! Unfortunately, a person can only eat so much :P We didn’t have any dessert because the egg tarts are mini which means too much crust-to-egg ratio. Shrimp and chive sesame pan-fried dumplings.Zha Leong, fried dough in rice noodle.Even though everyone was busy as hell running here and there, and I do mean RUNNING, I thought the service was friendly and attentive. We were really close to the kitchen which probably helped because we saw the new stuff coming out. I boringly chose jasmine because I wasn’t that familiar with the others. It’s nice that you get to select which tea you want. Once we were seated, tea and ice water arrived and once we received first plate of shrimp chee cheong fun, the wait was forgotten. I mean, I really wanted to try this place! SO PACKED! The hostess told us the wait would be 45 minutes for a two top. We thought most restaurants stop around 2 or 3 pm. They said they served dim sum until 7 pm. We called them and asked them if they were still serving dim sum and until what time. Jade Garden's website did not say the hours, as far as we could see. We were daunted by the the large groups of people waiting outside (Memorial Day, what was I thinking?!) but found a place to park and went in anyway. My son were in the area due to errands and were hungry. We decided to try Jade Garden after hearing about it here and on ChowHound.

TopGun used to be our favorite place for dim sum in the ID, but since they’ve moved we haven’t really known where to go.
