I can't believe I have not posted a review on this place. I have been going here for years and when I was at SJC, our Chinese flight crews came here for their lunches after arriving from China. Owned and operated by a family that lives in the neighborhood. They no longer have the dim sum carts but the food is just as good. Our favorites are the Shumai, Soup Dumplings, Stuffed Eggplant, Chicken Corn Soup and their specialty is duck. This year we ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving, and we really enjoyed it. Think Peking turkey! Even when crowded the place is good and parking is easy. They have seating for large groups with the lazy susan turntables and enormous round tables. Order at your table with your phone and a QR code or a small device on some of the tables.

Final Thoughts: 3.71/5 There are about half a handful of restaurants who provide dim sum all day and this is one of them. While dim sum is known to be a morning/afternoon thing, morning times just don't work for our group. Our schedules simply don't align, so I'm very grateful for their decision to provide it all day. Food: 1. Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow): 4.1/5 Classic choice for dim sum. The shrimp filling was lovely. Shrimps seemed plump, steamed to perfection, and had a nice texture when you bite down. The wrapper was not my favorite. Texture wise, very sticky and soft as if it wanted to melt away like a corn starch mixture. My preference leans more on a wrapper that holds its form, has some chewiness, and a resistance, but still soft. Flavor - Delightful. This one didn't need any soy sauce because the balance of flavors in the filling did it justice. 2. Shrimp Egg Pork Siu Mai: 4.4/5 My personal favorite was the siu mai. This one hasn't failed me anywhere yet. Texture wise - lovely. The crunch from the shrimp was quite nice. I enjoyed the ratios of shrimp to pork. Seasonings were nice, as well. Here, I'm tasting soy sauce, with some salt and sugar combined. Fish roe to garnish on top of each one for the enhanced umami flavor and color contrast aesthetics. 3. Steamed BBQ Pork Buns: 3.9/5 Very fluffy and soft dough. Ratio of filling to dough seemed optimal. There's an aroma to the dough that is missing from these buns. It's a sweet aroma with a hint of the flour and yeast scent. Kind of hard to explain. Flavor was average - Nicely seasoned with what seemed to be soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a hint of sesame oil. The color of the filling looked to be lacking some of the redness that I usually see with other buns. I'm actually not complaining with this one, but just an observation. 4. Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll: 3.7/5 The rice paper used to make this had a similar texture to the har gow. It was pretty soft, but not as sticky. Definitely held its form a lot better. Not too much of a bite or resistance to it. Ratio of shrimp to rice paper seemed optimal because of how thin the rice paper was. Flavor wise seemed a little bland to me. This was the case with rolls on the bottom layer too even though they were just absorbing all of the soy sauce. The shrimp was lightly seasoned with salt, but I felt like it needed something more. 5. Fried Shrimp Ball: 3.4/5 Hmm this one was your average shrimp ball with a crispy exterior from the eggroll wrappers. The size seemed smaller than ones that I am used to, but optimal for this dinner. Dipping sauce also seemed quite "average" - A little sweet, sour, and salty to enhance the flavor of the shrimp ball. 6. XO Sauce Stir-Fried Rice Rolls: 2.3/5 This dish needs to be paired with something because it was quite underwhelming when it came out. They're what you would expect, but I got tired of this dish after I took a picture of it because it looked like a bowl of dough. The XO sauce is truly the highlight of this dish. It's very umami with a nice balance of saltiness and sweetness. I can't pinpoint the exact flavor, but it seems like a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hints of seafood. This paired with the spiciness from the jalapenos were a nice touch. --------- Quality: Optimal Most items came out piping hot, which is ideal, but please do not scald your mouth like I did. Items like the har gow and siu mai are quite juicy. They are not skimping on the fillings and I appreciate the choice in using certain types of ingredients like the jumbo shrimp. Price: Expensive Six items for a total of $66. Average paid between 3 was $22. Not horrible, but not the best either considering a lot of the items were flour, dough, and some shrimp. Service: Fair to Optimal Quite fast service and very friendly. My one note is the order of how the foods were delivered. The Fried Rice Rolls came out last and it looked pretty underwhelming at that time soley due to what it was. I would have preferred for this to come out within a better timeline of my other food items, so that I could enjoy it together with an item that included a protein. Ambiance: Tranquil Quiet day in the restaurant today even for us going during rush hours. This may have been related to the rainy and cold weather that day. Somewhat drafty in the restaurant and that may likely be related to how open and spacious the interior is. Very nice and quiet dinner for us, so no complaints here. Location/Parking: Fair The restaurant is right next to the streets, so people drive by it and can easily find it. Not hidden anywhere and seems like an optimal spot. This is another location where I refuse to go alone (mostly at night). Again, it was raining that day, which made visibility a little bit more difficult. The lights were dimmed out, as well, so the parking didn't look like an ideal place to be at. There is a long stretch for this parking lot, so it doesn't seem like parking should be an issue for this area.

~4.5/5 I really do think the only thing bad about this place is their prices are on average about ~20-25% higher than the rest of the Bay. With that said, I think it's pretty fair. Things come out fresh/piping hot and many of the options don't skip on the fillings. All-day Dim Sum is a plus when I think there's only ~3 restaurants in San Jose-ish that do it. BBQ Pork Buns 4/5 - Realistically I just wish these were bigger as they are smaller than I'm used to. The ratio of filling is pretty perfect though, not too little, and the bun itself does not distract from the taste as some places make the bun too big to the point it gets a chore chewing flavorless bun. Fairly fluffy which is rare nowadays as well. Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll 5/5 - Giant shrimp inside, rice paper/noodle itself aren't overly doughy/chewy. Could definitely use more of the sweet soy sauce on it though if possible. Siu Mai & Har Gow 4/5 - Both came out very hot which is a good thing. You don't see the steam but if you're used to taking a piece and throwing it into your mouth instead of taking small bites you might want to reconsider. Shrimp Ball 3.5/5 - No down sides, but also nothing really special XO Noodles 2/5 - Kinda ok. Came out very late in the meal and was not hot or warm. It was also very soft and not as firm as expected from other places or even when compared to the rice noodle roll. Parking is okay, I appreciate all places that have their own lots, especially as Genji next door gets pretty crowded but the lot can be fairly dimly lit which makes it look a bit sketchy.

I love it here. My favorite DimSum in the South Bay worth the minimal bang for your buck. I haven't had one bad experience here so I'm leaving the 5 star. It's almost a bi-monthly ritual to come here on Sunday's for our group after any Saturday Night events. I've tried other places like Grand Dynasty, Koi Palace, H&L Peninsula, but I always gravitate back to here. It's not your usual cart to table service and I'm actually okay with that as we don't get overwhelmed with selections. My top orders and always ordering, the Preserved Egg & Pork Porridge - enough to feed 6 with a one ladle serving per bowl. Thankfully my group loves the porridge as much as I do and we always order 2 orders. Hargow, Shumai, Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice, Stuffed Mushrooms, Chicken Feet, Shrimp Rice Rolls, Walnut Shrimp, and once in a blue moon, Shrimp Chive Dumplings. We used to order veggies on the side too, but we've noticed inconsistency with the oyster sauce on top where it gets really salty and the veggies loses its texture/crunch, so it's no longer our repeat order. Today, we got a bit more adventurous and tried the Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and Salt & Pepper Calamari. The Salt & Pepper Pork Chop is more definitely the winner as the Calamari was more batter in the squid. Both do have a great crunchy texture though. Also we ordered Scallop Shrimp Dumplings, it was a hit with the others but myself, not so much. Maybe next time. Can't really place a comment on service that much, but the team are nice. If you're looking for a great Dim Sum spot, I highly recommend Jade Cathay.

I was a guest of my friend who has been coming for dim sum at the restaurant for more than 15 years. I understand that a new chef recently joined the family restaurant. We ordered the typical items for 5 people. Every item was delicious and freshly cooked. The fried chicken wings were perfectly fried just the right amount of batter and the meat was tasty, tender, and moist. The Cheung fun wrapped with prawns were also were fresh, huge, and moist. The fried tofu were perfect fried with a sprinkling of chopped garlic and jalapeños. The Char Sui buns, sponge cake, and taro bun were soft and freshly made. The pork/hundred year old egg congee had ample chunks in every bite. Overall, every dish was so delicious and freshly cooked. Staff was very attentive and responsive, especially when she noticed that one of our elderly guest appeared to need help with the tea. Staff courteously and respectfully helped her with the tea and stayed by momentarily to ensure that she could manage on her own. The restaurant has a traditional Chinese decor with generous spacing and low partitions between tables that allows ample privacy for the guests. I am planning bring my extended families for a larger family celebration because of the delicious food, spacious facilities, reasonable prices, and ample parking on site and street parking. Sorry no photos this time since I didn't have my phone handy but I can assure you that the food looked fabulous just as it was delicious. This restaurant is a hidden gem in a less frequented area of San Jose. it matches the cuisine in the more expensive fancy Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area.

Jade Cathay catered my wedding and did an amazing job! Grace and Mandy were very accommodating and flexible with our requests to do a Chinese banquet at a Western-style venue, and have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options on top of that. They are also looking to try new things and add new items to their menu and try new types of events. I was so thankful to have met them and worked with them for my wedding. This is also one of our favorite dim sum places in the Bay Area. Good prices and great taste! Definitely check it out!

We came on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was crowded. It was good to see! We've been here for both dim sum and dinner time. Parking is plentiful, and they have a large lot shared amongst the 4-5 restaurants here. The service is very friendly, courteous, and attentive. The owners frequently visit each customer when they have a bit of time. Place your order via QR code. They have a bar, mostly hard liquor, beer, and wine only. Simple Chinese decor, clean but aged. Separate bathrooms each for men and women. The dim sum was good. My wife liked the bbq pork rice noodle. My mom and I liked the scallop shrimp dumpling. The deep-fried salted egg pumpkin was better than I thought. I personally don't care for the Salted egg, but my wife and mom love it!

Dim sum without the cart ladies. They have dim sum brought out in the carts after you order with their electronic tablet on the tables. But be aware they really only look at the food order that prints, and you have to ask the human waiters for water and napkins, even after you select those things on the tablet. Food was decent, the service was decent, large parking lot in san jose is a big deal. The price is lower than higher end places, and if you are okay with to go chopsticks and cantonese (or pointing) as the main communication, this is a decent option. I would come here if i did not want to spend double at asian pearl. But if i want bigger and better quality, maybe only if i was less than 5 miles away.

Came here with my friend after picking her up from SJC and it was super close to the airport! The food is pretty good! We got a variety of typical dimsum items like rice noodle rolls, chicken feet, siu mai, and congee. We also tried the pumpkin with salted egg and it was pretty good! Kinda salty but as expected from the salty egg. It actually paired pretty nicely with the congee. Seems like it is also a pretty popular spot as there were a couple parties there when we were there, possibly some regulars. Not too crowded though. Pretty easy to order because you can either order from your phone via a QR code or one of the tablets if you're sitting by the wall I think. Parking lot
