On the advice of a friend who eats here often I met her for an early dinner. I was impressed with the ambiance and the menu as well as the semi self service. So I ordered the fried Tilapia with sautéed veggies and spicy sauce. Very large fish arrived looking crispy and tempting. Vegetables and sauce were lovely but after a few bites of the fish which was overcooked I was convinced of an odd flavor that tasted of bad oil or chemical residue. Not even the sauce could mask it. My friend took a few bites from different parts of ... read more

Fabulous! – I just wanted to show my support for Jade. I've been living in Portland for a year and a half and people have been very willing to take me to wonderful places to eat. Jade has out shone every other restaurant I've been to. The food is simply yummy! Fresh and bursting with flavor. The staff have always been friendly and very helpful, even when I've asked for a bit more of something to take home: ] Wonderful!

Don't Linger – Usually I can't say enough good things about Jade and their food. But today, I had a surprisingly unpleasant experience there. I arrived before the lunch rush and ordered lunch and a large pot of tea. I planned to study a bit while I ate. After finishing lunch, and enjoying my tea, the restaurant became busier. I was there about an hour, and the owner asked me to leave, stating that there was a 30 minute limit on tables only ordering tea. I told her I already ordered my lunch, and was finishing my tea, and tha... read more

Good Food, Service is Horrible – First off, Jade Teahouse is having an identity crisis... They simply need to decide if they are a teahouse with food or a restaurant with tea. The food was excellent but the service was absolutely horrible. You have to get your own silverware half of which was dirty. No help even when we were with a little child. So Jade people if you are reading this... you have amazing potential just pull it together make a little more effort - like clean silverware and make your patrons feel welcome. Even ... read more

Really good!!! – I have been several times and my only complaint is the line you have to wait in. This place is simply too small for the number of people eating there during prime time! To me that a good thing. Fresh and affordable, this place consistently makes good food.

Oh so very, very good! – I go to Jade as much as possible and I have never ordered or tasted from friends plates anything that was not really oh so darn good. Go, you will not be disappointed.

Best place ever! – I love, love, love Jade Teahouse! The Vietnamese meatball sandwich (banh mi style) is the best I've ever had. Try the Pho, try the coconut rice noodle soup. Everything is delicious. Oh, and be sure and order the truffle fries for the table - you will not be disappointed. And the people are so nice. There's April, Josh, Lucy, and Mark; it's a family business.

Amazing Food & Ambience – I can't say enough good things about this place! I saw it written up in the A &E and decided to check it out. The menu is mouthwatering with lots of great choices. Everything seems to be made fresh and the portions are large. The beef noodle soup (Pho) is to die for. The baguettes and pasteries are all made in-house. There is an awesome tea menu for the tea lovers. The place is beautifully decorated with calming colors and bamboo. I will keep coming back!
