was a little disappointed that there wasn't any bibimbap, but that went away quickly after tasting their delicious soon tofu soups and their sweet calbi and bulgoki. we'll definitely be back!

It's very crowded but the food is amazing! When the weather is bad, the wait can be miserable because there's not much room inside -- you'll have to brave the cold and the wet outside. The wait was about an hour and we contemplated going somewhere else. But we didn't, and it was worth it! Jade Garden is everything I would expect of a super authentic, urban downtown, popular Dim Sum restaurant.
After all the rave reviews, I was very disappointed. The portions are generous, but I've had much better Mediterranean food -- although that was in Los Angeles and I've yet to find a great place here. However, the reason I won't be back is the garlic. I love garlic as much as the next person, but they use way too much. And I couldn't get the garlic aftertaste out of my mouth for days! Way too much to deal with for so-so food.
Pure deliciousness!!! My personal favorite is the spiced pork over rice, but the pork burgers are very popular, and rightfully so! Go with several people if you can, so you can order a bunch of dishes and eat family style. We haven't ordered anything yet that hasn't been A+!
We found our pho place! I love the rice vermicelli with fish sauce -- it's so fresh, yet so savory and filling. Mmm...

great food, ambiance and service. i always order the chips and salsa platter and the fish tacos... yummy! our son has a lot of allergies, so they're always super careful and accommodating. whenever we go, we try to get sarah -- she's awesome!
we used to drive an hour to arcadia for din tai fung when we lived in santa monica. now, we live in bellevue and din tai fung is dangerously close! this is one of my favorite restaurants -- the pork soup dumplings are da bomb!!! i love the spicy dumplings and spicy noodles too. the only drawback is that the wait can be quite long -- so it requires a little bit of advanced planning. which i don't mind too much -- if there was no wait, i'd be eating there every day. :)

we've eaten here several times in the past month and we keep coming back. my wife loves the matzo ball soup! i actually haven't found my "thing" yet, but all the sandwiches have tasted great, but the bread gets soggy very quick, which i don't like... the last one i had was the corned beef sandwich on sourdough -- which was delicious. we'll be back!
The server was nice, but service wasn't great; lots of waiting... and it wasn't that crowded (yet). The pork buns were so-so -- the meat was dry and the sauce was too mild. The okonomiyaki was da bomb -- a must for every visit! the ramen was very good too -- especially on a chilly day. overall, a little pricey for what you get, but the food is good enough for me to come back.
