Jade Grille is by far one of my favorite restaurants around Pittsburgh. The first time that I had food from here was when I was visiting a friend who lives in Mt. Lebanon and we ordered take out. My partner and I loved the food so when we were craving Chinese food the other night we "made the trek" from Brighton Heights to Mt. Lebanon to dine at Jade Grille. Parking was easy to find even on a Friday night and we were seated right away. We ordered several things to share and still had leftovers to take home. We started off with the Jade Spring Roll which are rice paper wraps filled with avocado, cucumber, shrimp and basil that comes with a peanut dipping sauce - you get 2 for $5 and they were delicious. We also had the Go Go Shrimp which are crispy fried shrimp in a spicy honey sauce which had large chunks of chopped red pepper - this was my favorite portion of our meal that night - the portion was large enough for us to both have a significant amount and take some home for later. For our main course we shared King Kong Roll which is shrimp tempura, cream cheese topped with eel and avocado, and the Cumin Style Beef which is listed under Wok Authentic Chinese Cuisine on the menu - this is a spicy dish where the meat is crusted in cumin then stir fried with dried peppers, onions, peppers, and cilantro - the beef was tender and the spice level was great though we did ask for some chili oil on the side because we love spicy food. We had enough to take half of the Cumin Style Beef home as well. Overall, while the prices may seem a little steep to some, given that we both were full by the end of our meal and had enough to take home, I think that the portions and the quality of the food are well worth the price. They also have a nice selection of sake, wine and beer. Our server Marie was fantastic - friendly and a great server. I look forward to returning. read more

I've never used YELP for food delivery but I was visiting at a nearby hotel, starving and craved Chinese food. I brought up my YELP and found Jade Grille to my completely gratitude as it was great comfort food delivered to my hotel room. Plan accordingly as it said my take out would take 45-60 min and it did. For some reason my room # didn't show-up when I did my order so the driver was great to call to confirm. They did forget to give me eating utensils and napkins! (thank goodness hotel gave me those when I went downstairs). As for the food, very good! I wanted carbs so the Japchae was great! And I started with the sui mai dumplings - those were delicious. You'll see that the prices were a bit pricey but they didn't charge for delivery and the online ordering was a breeze using YELP. I'm really glad I discovered this feature in YELP! Found me a great place to eat again when I'm back! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and was finally able to have dinner here last night. As a small plate, I ordered the mini pork dumplings. I had read positive reviews about their dumplings so wanted to try them for myself. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. When you bit in to them or cut them a soupy substance leaked through...perhaps they're meant to be that way but the texture didn't sit well with me. I also thought the soy ginger sauce they provided with the dumplings was too vinegary. For my main entree, I ordered the Garlic Basil Wok with Chicken and brown rice. This dish was very flavorful and there was plenty of chicken morsels (not too big) that were tender and fresh. You could see garlic gloves and basil leaves throughout the dish. My only wish for the dish would have been to have some veggies - but it didn't mention that the dish had veggies, so I can't really be upset about that. My friend had the avocado lobster salad small plate and said it was great and tried the fried rice and was equally satisfied. I'll definitely be back again to check out their other options. The decor is very modern and the restaurant itself seems quite spacious. Love the bank door for the private room. read more

What an amazing addition to Mt Lebanon's bustling Uptown district! Authentic Chinese cooking with a slew of options. Hand pulled noodles are on the menu, but they surprisingly do not celebrate this fact. I'll update review after a few more visits, but there will be more visits! Parking is NOT an issue btw. I suppose it is if you feel entitled to a spot directly in front of where you are going. Otherwise, park your car, take a walk, window shop, check out other menus for your next visit and simply enjoy being in a dynamic business district that should be celebrated far more an it is. Haters hate and lazy lazes hate to walk. Get out there and enjoy it! read more

Finally got a chance to go, after the word had spread among all my friends that there was a new Chinese restaurant opened. It was very clean, nice decor, Good service. Well most importantly, we were happy about the Sichuan cuisine there. read more

Came here for lunch and man was I happy. It's been 7 hours since I've been there and I'm still thinking about it. My mouth wants more of this food! My brother and I split a little plate of sliced beef Sichuan style and the more we ate the more we wanted. For the main lunch I had chongqing spicy chicken. Imagine crispy chicken skin with spicy Chinese spices. Couldn't stop eating it! My brother had the spices hot pot with chicken. The chicken was so tender, the veggies compliment and took on the flavor of the sauce and didn't overpower the food the way that some veggies can (especially carrots) Lunches came with rice and soup which were both excellent. Took back a braised chicken noodle soup and reports were also very positive Price might seem a bit high but it was worth it for the quality. Lunch crowd was surprisingly small. Don't let that dissuade you if you come for lunch. Can't wait to go back. Might even go tomorrow with a coworker! read more

A friend came to visit from out of town and we decided to explore Washington Rd. together. Jade Grille was a place I had been wanting to try, especially because I was intrigued by the idea of eating more traditional, authentic Chinese cuisine. My friend wanted sushi, and so we felt this was the best of both worlds because we could try a little of everything. We first ordered a small plate of the Handmade Steamed Dumplings, which were just a little bit bigger then a silver dollar. The six dumplings arrived nestled in a steam basket, and we enjoyed the presentation. They were delicious, but as a first taste, I didn't find them terribly exotic, just solidly good. The second item we ordered was the Sashimi Ceviche, at my insistence, since I'd heard great things about it. This dish blew our tastebuds out of the water, and my mouth is salivating just thinking about it again. It's built like a salad, with large chunks of raw tuna, salmon and yellowtail tossed with chopped red onions, sweet jalapenos, cilantro and chunks of cherry tomatoes in a lime juice and ponzu soy sauce dressing. Ponzu is a citrus-based sauce made with rice wine, rice vinegar, bonito fish flakes, and seaweed, and then I suspect Jade Grille tosses in a bit of soy sauce to make it richer. The ceviche was bright and fresh. The sashimi pieces were buttery and we ended up pouring the remainder of the dressing on our plates to soak up as much of the flavors as possible. For our third course we had decided to split the Spicy Chili Pot with Chicken, a "traditional Chinese herb and spices sauce with black mushrooms, bamboo, celery, bell pepper, onion and Sichuan peppercorns." It was a smart decision on our part, because the serving that arrived with a side of white rice fed both of us with enough leftover for another lunch and dinner. Our first bite made our eyes bug out slightly, because the dish was *genuinely* hot! The vegetables were crunchy and the flavor was rich and very well-made. We both like spicy foods, so it was a good heat that made us happy. Lastly, we ordered three sushi rolls - an eel avocado roll, a spicy tuna roll and one of their specialty rolls, the Samurai Roll. First off, let me say that just like the ceviche, all three rolls were very high quality. They were slightly cooler than room temperature and very fresh and for someone who suffers with grocery store sushi far too often, it was a delight to experience the real deal. We found that the best roll was actually the spicy tuna, mainly in terms of flavor. The samurai roll was delicious but very mild, almost to the point of blandness, and needed to be dipped in soy sauce to get the full flavor impact. But the texture was great and the black tobiko, which are egg roe, created a lovely sensation when they bumped across our tongues. All in all, this was a spectacular dinner. We almost rolled home we were so full, and everything was very well made, well presented, and of a high quality. I nabbed a menu on my way out of the door, because what really surprised me about this high-end Chinese restaurant is that they deliver! read more

The atmosphere was very nice. They have nice, modern touches. Assuming that this was a bank prior, they have a giant safe that has table seating. The hostess and wait staff seemed very disorganized and confused this evening. When getting led/sat at a table, it felt like we were being taken on a tour through the dining room. Let me add, the restaurant was not a full house. Once seated (oh yes, I timed this), it took 7 minutes for our server to greet us and get our drink order. 5 minutes for us to get our water and iced tea, and another 6 minutes for us to receive our beer. The app did not come out before our entrées, rather it came out with it. We were obviously not being attended to, as was everyone else around us. The food tasted good. The sushi could have been wrapped tighter. The service could have been A LOT better. The prices were a little steep. A little tangent for this one.. Now, I understand it is hard to find good help when owning a restaurant or any other establishment, but when you start hiring the friends of the other sucky employees you already have, you are up to a lot of stress and heart ache. Food for thought. read more

Jade Grille - A 'safe' room - Szechuan Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Hands down better than Sesame, newer ambiance and the flavor is better Highly recommend this as a go to for Chinese and sushi! read more

Food was great for its class and service was really a five star. They have a Chinese menu and an Americanized Chinese menu. Wifey and i shared a dry pot. It is beef with lots of spices. It was very spicy and hot but it was the point, delicious. Service was spectacular for this type of restaurant. It is not a fine dining place so do not expect a romantic dining experience. It is more like a Chinese restaurant trimmed for Americans. Anyway, our server, Marlene, (yes we asked her name) was one of the best servers we had at a $$ restaurant in the US. She answered our questions, helped us finding what we were looking for at the menu and explained what we should expect from our meal. Regularly checked how we were doing. She made our dining experience better. read more

Jade is my favorite chinese restaurant in PIttsburgh! The authentic chinese dishes are really authentic (I brought my dad one time since he goes in China very often and he in fact said it was very good)! I like the space and the place is very welcoming! read more

Always delicious. Not as authentic as I'd like personally, but great for Pittsburgh. Love getting their free delivery at home!

The worst restaurant experience I've had in my life. We had reservations for New Year's Eve, had to wait an hour to be seated. We ordered and 45 minutes later our food started to showed up but not all at once. after everyone else's dinners had been served and most had eaten I was told they didn't have the ingredients for my order, and had no solution accept I'm really sorry!! So I asked for a salad with fish or chicken whatever was quick. Since most of my party had eaten and were now waiting for me she came back with a side salad. At this point I was so angry and Hungry I just asked for the check. Which she promptly delivered and they charged me for the side salad. I NEVER do reviews but this place truly Sucks!!! read more

Amazing sushi and authentic Chinese. Not general tso, real dishes people! Great owners, Justin and Andy and great bartender Nolan. You must go and try it out. Great specials during the week 5-7pm, food and alcohol. Beautiful bar, awesome tvs if you want to eat and watch a game. You shouldn't miss this gem in Lebo. Delivery is available and awesome too! read more

Jade Grille - Avocado Napoleon- half avo with lobster salad and some sauces including spicy sauce, wasabi purée, and eel sauce! Hidden gem! - Szechuan Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ordered from the Chinese menu. We had "Bashu whole fish", (Chinese name is 巴蜀烤鱼). The character 烤 means "broil", and definitely not "deep frying". In fact, we got a deep fried whole fish, covered in some salty sauce that is nothing like this dish. Apart from the authenticity, the fish itself is not fresh and way over fried. Won't come back again. read more

Take a trip to Mt Lebanon and stop in at the most amazing, authentic and visually appealing Chinese Food Experience that you will ever enjoy. Jade Grill has brought Authentic Chinese Dishes to Pittsburgh. You won't fine General Tso or Hunan Beef...what you will find is appetizers such as Pickled Vegetables, Lamb & Chicken Skewers, Hand Made (at time of order) Steamed Dumplings and much more. For meals, you can choose from Soups that include 40 feet of hand pulled noodles (and if you don't believe it, ask to watch), Entrees that can include, Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Shrimp or Seafood. And so much more. I opted for the Dry Pot...This was so amazing...it was full of a mix of flavors and then the heat...oh the heat. Not for the faint of heart but I have to tell you, the burn does go away and you are left with the need to go back in for more. Part of me doesn't want to expose this incredible gem hidden on RT 19, but the reality is that I want everyone to go away with satisfaction that I have right now....and I am already planning my next visit. Thank you so much Jade Grill for opening my eyes to "real" Chinese cuisine. read more

I would say it's a even better place compared with HaoLee. The cook from Chengdu my hometown really masters the essence of Szechuan dishes. The flavor of the food was so good that made one of my friends kind of homesick. And for me the food definitely qualifies the level of excellence. I haven't trie other styles of food so I cannot comment with that. But the design of the restaurant itself is so decent and the idea of opening up that bar area is actually nice. A word of advice would be to start serving cold dishes at the bar for the beer. In general this restaurant is fantastic especially for those enjoying Chinese style hot/spicy food! read more

Jade Grille - The dinning hall - Szechuan Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We were lucky enough to find a seat on Valentine's Day at Jade Grille. We were told most of their reservations canceled or were no call no shows because of the weather. I have only had sushi one other time since living in Pitts and it was yucky. Jade grille will be new sushi spot for now on. It was delicious! The bartender told us they get fresh fish delivered from Wholey's daily, other than Sunday's. We ordered a smorgasbord of different small plates and sushi. The tuna pistachio and Avalanche roll were my favorite. The roll had a wonderful sweet wasabi sauce drizzled on top. We chose to sit at the bar. It's a huge granite bar with four tvs and a sushi bar. For happy hour you get buy one get one half off of sushi rolls. Pretty good deal especially for the specialty rolls. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Jade Grille - Handmade Pork dumplings! Yum! - Szechuan Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Swung by here for lunch on a Saturday. We were seated and serviced quickly in the mostly empty restaurant, and service was attentive and super efficient throughout the whole meal. My S.O. and I ordered the SPICES CHILI POT with vegetables, the DOUBLE COOKED pork, and the CUMIN STYLE lamb. Each dish came with a choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup or a salad and a bowl of rice. I appreciated the choice of brown rice, which most traditional Chinese restaurants don't provide. Portion sizes for our dishes were on the small side, even for lunch portions. Although all three plates were decent enough, we found the flavor to be a bit off for each. The double cooked pork was both our favorites by far, though I would have appreciated much more black bean flavor than was added--I felt that the pork was pretty bland on its own (besides its intrinsic porkiness) and wasn't able to absorb much of the flavor at all. My fiancee is a pork belly slut and therefore had no complaints. The spices chili pot was rather lacking in spices--namely, chilis for heat and Sichuan pepper, which was largely absent in the dish. I definitely appreciated, however, that they accommodated my vegetable-only order of the dish, which isn't a choice on the menu. The cumin style lamb was the biggest disappointment. My fiancee complained that the lamb itself was lacking its distinct grassy lambiness ("This could be beef, and I wouldn't know the difference."), and I complained that it just didn't taste as the traditional dish ought to--the flavor was all cumin and nothing else--no coriander, no pepper (black, white, or Sichuan), no sesame, no soy...just...straight up...cumin, overwhelmingly so. The name of the dish shouldn't be taken so literally. The meal was worth it with the great Yelp deal, but unless I find myself in the neighborhood, I won't be back. Sichuan Gourmet is too much more convenient to us in the city and too much tastier and authentic. read more

The salmon sushi was not safe to eat. I ordered a classic "spicy salmon roll". It had a terrible, rotten smell, I took one bite and immediately spit it out, because I knew something was wrong. Serving expired/rotten fish is the worst thing a sushi restaurant can do, and they should know better. I will never return to the Jade Grille. P.S. My original post was deleted. I feel the need to post this for health and safety reasons. read more

Our family's favorite spot for Chinese food in the Pgh area. Favorites include the crispy mala tofu, Chinese long peppers with beef or pork, and the handmade soup dumplings and pot stickers. Definitely gravitate toward the authentic Chinese menu. Service is always friendly and efficient. Steer clear of the sushi--husband was reminded why he only eats sushi at Japanese places after reading a review and trying the sushi here. Nothing horrible, just not the greatest. Stick with the Chinese menu, which is terrific. read more

What a beautifully decorated restaurant! This is a great place if you are a vegetarian. There is so many options, what a surprise!! The pad thai, tofu dry pot and dry sautéed string bean dish are all incredible. I was also pleased with the wonderful service. I will definitely be back. read more

Considering I have lived in the city and am now back in the Mt. Lebanon area, finding 'ethnic' restaurants that vary in selection is pretty tough. I tend to see (in this case, Asian) restaurants that provide the same fare with the occasional luck of something new if you come at the right time or ask the right server. Let me also add that I have been looking for dan dan noodles goddamn everywhere and Jade Grille had them. And I haven't had smoked tea duck in a long time so check+ on that end. I read other reviews before writing my own and a few called for better or wider selection. I disagree. Their streamlined menu provides mostly dishes that you are not going to see in many other Asian-style restaurants, especially in the Mt. Lebanon area. I can understand the argument of appealing to a wider audience but having an atypical, albeit more selective menu, sets Jade Grille apart from other Asian restaurants in the area. read more

My favorite Chinese food place! The spicy fish pot is AMAZING! Their authentic Chinese food is definitely recommended. Sushi isn't their strong suit, but the rest of the menu is superb. Cumin beef and Thai Fried Rice are also recommend favorites. Be prepared for spice :-). They also deliver to south hills which is a huge plus on busy weeknights. read more

What a great restaurant in the heart of Mt. Lebanon! Tried this place for the first time this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised. We started with the handmade steamed dumplings and they were delicious. I ordered the stuffed eggplant with beef and it was by far one of the best asian dishes I have ever had. My date had the tea tree mushroom w. chicken clay pot which was equally delicious. We finished out our meal with the cheesecake sampler dessert and a cup of their green tea (Tea Forte). Will definitely return to try more of the authentic asian dishes on the menu. read more

I LOVE this restaurant! I always go there for special occasions and it never disappoints. Chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, and steamed pork dumplings are my favorite. The service is good. The prices have raised a bit since I first started going there but you can't beat the quality of the food. read more

What was once a standout great Chinese place, unfortunately is far from it today. Wontons in chili oil which were clearly made in house in a wonderfully spicy sauce, are now clearly low quality frozen replacements in a sickeningly sweet sauce more reminiscent of general tso's. As a regular customer for years it's sad to see such a tremendous dip in quality. read more

The food here is pretty good! We ordered the silk tofu with fish, lamb BBQ and spicy beef tendon. The spicy beef tendon is a bit salty, not recommended ! The lamb BBQ is worth trying. There are not many people here even on Sunday! read more

Great service with recommendations from our server to the manager stopping by and talking to us about popular menu items. The food was delicious. Had a specialty sushi roll, Spicy Kani roll. Nota fan of spicy food but this roll was not spicy. We also shared the garlic basil chicken. Very good. I would recommend this place and we will return. I like that their menu includes a traditional Chinese dish option. Something different that isn't offered at many other places. Decor, atmosphere were all very nice. read more

Favorite Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh! I love that they have a huge menu including both Chinese and Americanized Chinese foods to please all the people in the group. Jade Grille makes the best, in my humble opinion, version of my favorite Chinese dish - I get the garlic eggplant every time! It's sweet, spicy, and lots of subtle seasonings like green onion and ginger in there too. Every dish I've ordered has been delicious and good portions (on the larger side). The service is always courteous and prompt, too. The restaurant's atmosphere is classy - it's built in an old bank. Definitely nice enough for a special occasion but also not too pretentious for a meal any day of the week. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place used to be a bank before, so now it becomes a restaurant. Atmosphere is very nice. Good service. The food is 7/10 good. I ordered beef with scallions, it was so good. Good in quality. read more

I've ordered delivery from Jade Grille many times and love it! It's a little more expensive than my other go to Asian take out spot but the quality is way better.

It's seasoned perfectly and contains jumbo shrimp and super tender slivers of chicken. Use DoorDash or Uber Eats if you want delivery before 4pm. read more

Not a bad weekend spot but great to order from too. read more

Very good quality American Chinese, Authentic Chinese Food and Sushi. Everything I've tried here over the numerous times has been delicious!

I went there for dinner with my husband and friends and we all had a really good time, food was amazing. Starting with the ceviche. The portion is very generous, you'll even be able to share if this is your appetizer. If you love lobster and avocado you MUST order the Napoleon. Believe me, you'll thank me forever. Sushi - awesome, nice size rolls. Delivery - I always order from them and they are super fast. Overall experience: great, we all loved it, I'm definitely going back many times! read more
