Jade Cathay Chinese Restaurant in San Jose

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.

This was my first time here. It was for a red egg and ginger party on a Saturday for lunch. The restaurant shares a parking lot, and there was plenty of parking. (There is a lightrail stop right outside, so make sure to take all your valuables with you). The food is pretty good. We had 10 courses, which were baked bbq pork buns, broccoli beef, salt pepper fish, beef chow fun, salted fish chicken fried rice, lemon chicken, mapo tofu, stir fried string beans, egg tarts and mango pudding. Our tables favorite were the string beans and salt pepper fish. I liked the mapo tofu, the egg tarts, and the mango pudding. I would come back.

If I can write them a zero, it would be a zero… they acted like they didn’t even want my service to begin with.. I did show up at 2:15 knowing that they closed at 2:30 but I wanted to sit and eat real quick… this was a last-minute decision… the gentleman was not friendly at all… told me I couldn’t eat inside and told me to order something to go… I was looking at the menu he said excuse me are you gonna order something? I said yes, this is 220 now…. He said well the kitchen is closed…. I said what I said you guys close at 2:30.. I said you know what forget… do you know my business then I’ll go elsewhere… seems to me that they care more about getting out early than hospitality… it’s OK I’ll never be back!

We didn’t have a wait on a Sunday at 11am for 4 people. Menu & ordering done on phone. Free wifi. 2 hr street parking + parking lot. Super efficient and delicious dim sum!

No worry for parking at all. We did go around 1230 on a weekday so maybe thats why there was a lot of spots, even on the street. Food was good, but we did have late breakfast so I was not too hungry for dim sum. Staff and services were good and fast as well. Price was decent, $65 after 15% tips OTD. Portions were big too. Not sure I would go back simply there are plenty to try out.

Really good and authentic food. Very worth the price.

I ordered sweet and sour pork and I got nothing but pork fat. Im not exaggerating. It was 95% fat. I also ordered spring rolls which tasted like they were frozen. You can get better Chinese food at panda express.

Authentic Chinese food in a convenient location in the heart of downtown San Jose. Plenty of options and our food was tasty, but no lunch specials. Also, the appetizers came out last, several minutes after our main dish came out. So, better coordination on the food preparation would make for a 5-star experience next time. We surely would come back and dine there again, thanks to the quality of the food.
