    Fried Rice with Shrimp
    Carla R.

    Jade Dynasty was absolutely delicious! Their dim sum menu offers a wonderful variety of shareable plates, making it perfect for larger groups or anyone who loves trying multiple dishes. It's such a great spot if you enjoy sampling different dishes. The space is stunning, especially after the recent remodel. You walk into a beautiful dining area that opens up into a larger space with high ceilings, gorgeous light fixtures, and an airy, open feel. It feels modern, elegant, and welcoming all at once. My favorite dishes were the fried mochi, the duck, soup dumplings, and the pork, each one was flavorful and perfectly portioned for sharing. The dim sum was fresh and beautifully prepared. What really stood out, though, was how friendly and involved the owners are. You can tell they genuinely care about the restaurant and their guests, which makes the experience feel even more special. Everything we tried was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

    FN01 Beef Chow Fun (4/5)

    Awesome experience! A blast from the past as I was able to delve into some of the most classic HK Noodle dishes back when I was a UofM student Jade Dynasty comes from the same heritage with many familiar faces. Ordered - Roast Pork/Duck: Tasty, good balance of fat to meat ratio, and phenomenal when paired with rice. Also, not gamey which usually can occur with duck - Beef Chow Fun: Wok Hei was on point (IYKYK). Noodles were skinnier than other places but still was delicious - Golden Fried Garlic Fish: Our favorite. This was circa 2010s from college. A dish originated by HK Noodle owners and have seen seen variations spread across other Chinese places in the Twin Cities with Overall, we had a great experience! Staff was friendly, decor was upscale and clean, and parking was fairly straightforward ($1/hr parking) for being in the city

    I've came here a few times recently very friendly staff and very accommodating. There's plenty of pay parking behind the building or metered street parking. We love the wanderers punch and it's gorgeous inside. Definitely will keep coming back here. We always order the sweet-and-sour chicken or the Mongolian beef because both of those are really good.

    Heard great things about this restaurant, with friends from LA saying it was the best Chinese restaurant they've been to. I was excited to discover they served dim sum every day. Meant to order the green beans that I read high reviews about but only getting things from the dim sum menu. Loved the shrimp rice noodle - impressively long, and made with very large and well flavored shrimp. The turnip cakes were amazing - will definitely get those again. I also really liked the taro puffs and coconut puffing. I was a little disappointed with the sticky rice in bamboo leaf since it was a little mushy and the flavor wasn't as deep as I expected. And the stuffed eggplant was quite disappointing. Pretty but very bland. But everything came out very quickly and hot. And the service was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is also very lovely. It was very impressed with the decor, and the gigantic 22 seat table on the upper level. I need to gather 21 of my closest friends one day to try more of their dishes at that table.

    Just sitting down and so far so good. A little ehh about paid parking with a big lot, but kind of par for the course.

    For Dim Sum a high bar has to be met for me to be blown away and this was not it. The food was ok but honestly as dim sum goes it was ehh. Lack of choices that I love, no carts going around, overpriced versus other dim sum locations. Also pay to park was not the experience I was going for. Was worth a shot and may try their other dinner options, but for dim sum it's a no go.

    This is a nice and convenient spot. It's very spacious, so there is no problem accommodating a big group. You also don't need a reservation since there are so many table. However, I still wish they had a better reservation system; it's currently not automated and requires an email to reserve. Overall, this restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing with attentive and pretty quick service. Although, I've only been during non peak hours, so service experience may vary. Now, the food is quite good and I enjoyed most of my dishes. This place is on par or slightly better than most other Asian restaurants. I especially enjoyed the fried rice options, the bbq pork, and the Korean short ribs. However, I was underwhelmed by the fried chicken and potstickers, both lacked seasoning. Portions are huge as well so you get a lot of value for your money because this place isn't expensive at all. In totality, this was a nice restaurant with a lot to offer, and I've already came back a second time and the quality of food held up.

    Stumbled upon Jade Dynasty being in the area and looking for a place for dinner. We started with a Livener bubbles drink and a boba tea. Their menu is large and I was overwhelmed. We order shrimp dumplings (3/5), fried cheese puffs (5/5), beef chow fun with black bean sauce (4/5), and seafood with lo mein (3/5). The lo mein had good flavor but because there were various types of seafood mixed it and it felt a little bit like mystery meat trying to figure out what type of sea creature you were eating. Our server was very nice and provided recommendations, but a little slow. The serving sizes are LARGE, we shared and still had two meals of leftovers to take home with us. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant and it is pretty easy to access from Lake St. The restaurant is pretty and depending on where you sit you can see the fish tanks. At least you know the seafood is fresh.

    Excellent dim sum quality. On par with those restaurants in Los Angeles area. Service also Excellent factoring my ability to speak Cantonese. Highly recommend and probably best dim sum in Minneapolis if not Minnesota? I'd go back.

    Steamed Salted Egg Custard Lava Buns
    Jay S.

    Initially the restaurant name made me assume that it wasn't going to have good food because it was a very stereotypical way of naming a Chinese food place and usually places like such ends up with subpar quality Chinese American food, but after I tried the dim sum here with a friend, we both agreed that we would return, and I honestly was glad that we can find solid dim sum right here in Minneapolis without having to roam into the suburbs. All the dim sum items are very good in the most conventional way, which is a good thing, because dim sum is comfort food and people want to ensure that it tastes like home. My favorite item was actually the egg custard lava buns because the sweetness and saltiness balance for the egg custard lava was very well done, so neither flavor was overpowering, and I have tasted the same item from other places for worse. My friend and I ordered many of the most commonly found items in a dim sum menu and we were both satisfied. Relatively the item I enjoyed the least was the egg tart, primarily because it wasn't fresh enough. It did not have the egg flavor and the custard mixture was hard, almost making it taste like it was premade a while ago. I don't know what else to say other than that the dim sum tasted like the good dim sum I have had elsewhere in the United States, so I will just say that if one is craving for dim sum, this establishment is a great place to visit.

    A002 Deep Fried Shrimp Balls
    Ashley B.

    We stopped into Jade Dynasty after catching an acoustic set on the water and grabbed seats at the bar. The place was very busy, which gave it a lively vibe. The bartender was super friendly and upfront. He let us know their menu item names had just been updated in the system, so ordering might be tricky. He also warned that dumplings would take a while due to cook time and the crowd. We were in no rush, so no problem. We ordered the deep fried shrimp balls, steamed BBQ pork buns, and a couple of cocktails. The lemongrass 75 came in a cute whale-shaped cup and was really tasty. The shrimp balls were crispy, flavorful, and paired well with our drinks. Unfortunately, the BBQ pork buns never showed up. After about 45 minutes we asked about them, and the staff quickly brought out something that looked like stale bread covered in garlic butter. It was not the dumpling-like item pictured on the menu and was generally unappetizing. That put a damper on the meal. Overall, the ambiance was nice, the cocktails were fun, and some dishes looked worth trying. Given how packed it was, it is clearly a popular spot. I will probably give it another chance, but this visit was hit or miss. Be prepared for long waits, especially on dumplings. Paid parking lot available.

    Nice variety of dishes
    Catherine Y.

    Been to Jade Dynasty a few times with family and friends since it opened. Happy that we now have another great place for Cantonese food! Great selection of dishes, including a pretty nice variety of Dim Sum items. We tried the seafood tower the first time we went and it was AMAZING!! The ambience is nice and a great location for gathering with friends and family. Bonus that it feels like a little "reunion" because the owners are the original owners of Hong Kong Noodle that was at the U of MN campus and they remember me from my college days (~20 years ago!) of going there for the tasty noodle dishes!

    Dim sum is my favorite category of food so had to make the trip to try out this newer spot. First impressions are very formal with an enormous dining room, large family-style tables, and loads of gilding on every surface. The service was super fast and friendly. We went right when they opened so can't speak to how it is when it's really busy. As always, make sure to start off with chrysanthemum tea! It's not the standard cart-service style where you're fighting for a table close to the kitchen to snipe the freshest goodies. You have a dry-erase menu and mark off what you want. They bring it out as it's ready so you always get relatively fresh fare. Everything was good but not mind blowing. The char siu bao, salt & pepper octopus, and lava custard buns were my favorites. I'd still rather go to Pagoda, but that's a. hike from my house and this was definitely on par. Just need to match the AYCE weekends and I'll have a new spot.

In…read morere-reading my reviews, I stand by everything I've said about the excellent consistent quality of the food, the service, and how much I enjoy coming to this restaurant. I truly hope they are around longer than I am. I would hate to find out this was one of the choices no longer available to us. Please read my previous reviews for a more inclusive view; this review focuses only on their lobster. I had previously mentioned that they prices of their lobsters (I love the version with black bean sauce) have gone up tremendously. While true, there seems to have been a subtle change in their pricing strategy. Previously (as of before the pandemic), the lobster was priced by the pound, which is the conventional way of doing it. However, they seem to have two lobster prices. The first one is called "Big Lobster" and they say it's between 2 and 2 and half pounds per lobster. The price of that (as of this review) is $56 dollars, or $28 per pound. That's not really a bad price at all. It's expensive, but reasonable. The other lobster is called "Live Lobster" and is priced $10 less at $46. So the real question is how much does this second version weigh? I ordered the Big Lobster, but they said they were out of it. I asked the weight of the "Live Lobster" but I didn't really get a straight answer, but he seemed to say "about two pounds" which doesn't really make sense because that's the price of the larger, more expensive lobster. But I decided to go for it anyway. As I stated in my last review, I'm guessing this lobster is at least two pounds, based on many years of eating lobster. For this review, I had ChatGPT translate the the Chinese on the menu, thinking it was secret code for "if you can read Chinese, save ten dollars by ordering this version" but AI says the Chinese means "lobster" so if you spoke Chinese, you'd still be mystified. So my recommendation is order the version that is ten dollars cheaper and you may (or may not) be paying $23 a pound. Price aside, I love this version of lobster and it is certainly a better deal than what you would pay at an American style seafood or steak restaurant in the Twin Cities.

At the door we were greeted…read moreby the owner who spoke very little English (a tell tale sign of some kickass Chinese food). She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors.

The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

My dad uses a walker and we were lucky enough to get a spot right in front of the restaurant, anything else would have been a problem. Spacing inside the restaurant is pretty tight as well. Once dad sat down they had to take his walker into the back because there was no room in the seating area. We were packed in pretty tightly and very close to the table next to us.
