Large portions but on the expensive side so you definitely need to go with others when trying their dim sum items. Plenty to choose from by using their QR code to order. Check your items print out because the app is a bit sensitive and it’s hard to tell if the order went through. I couldn’t tell from the app. It’s pretty quick with plenty of parking and seating.

If you're craving delicious Chinese cuisine in a cozy and welcoming environment, Jade Cathay Restaurant truly stands out. This delightful restaurant combines a warm ambiance with a diverse menu that satisfies both traditional and contemporary tastes. A highlight of the dining experience is undoubtedly their Dim Sum, served fresh and teeming with variety. Personal favorites include the Baked BBQ Pork Buns, BBQ Pork Pastries, and the flavorful Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet—each dish is crafted with care and packed with mouthwatering flavors. Other offerings, including an array of fried rice, fresh vegetables, hearty porridges, and a variety of seafood dishes, are equally delightful and packed with flavor. The service at Jade Cathay is equally exceptional. Grace, the ever-cheerful owner, adds a personal touch to the experience. Her warm smile and thoughtful gestures, like surprising long-time customers with extra treats, create an atmosphere that feels more like visiting family than dining out. Conversations with Grace are as enjoyable as the food itself—her dedication and kindness leave a lasting impression that warms the heart. With its blend of delectable dishes and a genuinely welcoming vibe, Jade Cathay is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended!

Very good dim sum and the beef chow fun is one of the best I have ever had in the bay area. I recommend the sponge cake, which is still still made by the traditional method. I am impressed.

This dim sum restaurant has undergone some changes. We ordered dim sum directly from a device and paid through the device. This part is convenient. The tables are well spaced too. The quality of Dim sum is a bit disappointing so it seems the improvement has been on the setting rather than the food. Among the dim sum, we like the congee and the fried shrimp dumpling. Overall expensive considering the offerings.

Very nice Cantonese style restaurant, their steamed chicken feet is the best one in the past couple years I've ever had. Also enjoyed their fish fillet rice noodle roll. The service is friendly.
