    Build Your Bowl ($12.90)
    Erik G.

    Craving Chinese but seeking something unique, I bypassed the chain with the mascot and found Jade Rabbit. I left feeling satisfied after a late lunch/early dinner. I ordered the Build Your Bowl ($12.90), choosing two bases, two veggies, and one main. I went with fried rice and chow mein for the bases, and Spicy Chinese Broccoli and Pickled Chinese Cabbage for the veggies, both of which I loved for their spice and flavor. For the main, I opted for half portions of the popular Orange Mango Chicken and Spicy Sichuan Chicken. I appreciate that they offer fried wontons as an extra crunchy element to the bowl. The guy behind the counter, I believe his name was Zak, was incredibly friendly and helpful. He even offered me a sample of the beef & broccoli. The food was delicious, especially with the green sauce that had a nice kick. I will definitely return to Jade Rabbit for another bowl and plan to bring my family. My only minor complaint was that the chow mein was cold. This is a great lunch spot, especially if you live or work nearby.

    Elevated Panda Express style restaurant with more authentic flavors and healthier options at more or less the same prices! I did a Build Your Own Bowl which starts at $12.90 and comes with 2 bases, 2 vegetables, and 1 main. For my bases I got the fried rice and chow mein. Both were good, but I really liked the chow mein which has a springy texture and the sauce was a tasty sweet soy sauce. The fried rice didn't have too much flavor though. For vegetables, I got the cucumber salad and the spicy Chinese broccoli. Both were fresh, crispy, and yummy. For the main I got the 50/50 which is half Orange Mango Chicken and half Spicy Sichuan Chicken. Both were okay, the chicken was a bit dry for both. Everything was topped with the optional crispy wonton strips which was a nice touch. For $12.90, the variety, quality, and portion size was pretty good. I left pretty full. I also got a side cheese scallion toast and it was tasty, but not necessarily worth $4. I wish the bread itself was buttered and toasted on both sides before the cheese was added on top. That would be a game changer. Overall, the food items were generally great. I really liked how the spicy items were actually spicy. My friend and I had to constantly get refills on our water haha. The style of the restaurant is like Panda Express where you go down an assembly line to pick what you want. They also have listed signature bowl creations in case you didn't want to stress about choosing your items. The interior is neat and clean and so is the bathroom. For parking, they have designated free parking spots behind restaurant. A good experience here and I would come back for a cheap and balanced Chinese-inspired meal.

    Not only is Jade Rabbit, sleek, modern, and practical, it's delicious. This isn't your average fast Asian affair. This is elevated. The concept is easy. Pick two bases. Pick two veggies. Pick one main. I went with the fried rice. That along could be a meal--that's how flavorful it is. The spicy noodles were base noodle two--flavor packed. Veggies were cucumber and the mushroom zucchini combo. The cucumbers deserve their own call out because they were the best thing. Yes, the cucumbers. The main was the sichuan chicken. Nice and crispy. They'll ask if you want to add an egg roll. Let me answer for you. Yes, you want to order the egg roll. The interior has a cool modern industrial vibe with exposed brick coupled with great bar stool window seating.

    Nice service, good portions and a nice amount of variety to pick from. I got a create your own bowl and had plenty leftover for dinner. The drinks also come with a free refill which is nice! My only con is some of the items were not very warm and a bit too oily for my preference.

    WOW! The food AND the vibes here were immaculate. I would say this is a very nice change of pace for restaurants in Santa Monica. It's a cafeteria style shop with great selections and nice spots to dine and hang. Food: great! This tasted like a gourmet Chinese food hub, but with different Asian fusion selections. My favorites of the night were the cold noodles, and that green sauce that pairs well with the Szechuan chicken. Service: amazing! They were all so friendly and all so very nice! Definitely will come back because they were amazing.

    Really liked Jade Rabbit in Los Angeles. The concept is super easy ,you order, pick exactly what you want, and then sit and enjoy. I made my own salmon bowl and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I liked being able to customize it with different sides and toppings. The space has a cool, modern vibe and felt clean, casual, and easy to hang out in. Definitely a good spot if you want something quick, fresh, and a little different.

    Pretty solid.

    We went the first week they opened. We moved down the line and designed our own bowls. The portion was pretty good. Not huge but not small. Flavors were unique. I'm not sure they all went together but they were different... and I appreciated that. I'm going to go back now that they've been open a few months and see if I like it even more!

    Heard this was the new 'Tigawok', so had to try! Definitely a good deal for a lot of food- for $12 you get 2 bases, 2 cold veggies, and one main. But, a lot of the mains get charged extra. Got this and an extra side of a main and was enough for 2 people! Would rate well for portion size, but overall thought the taste was okay. The food wasn't as Asian tasting as I would have liked it to be. Parking is difficult in this area- came on a weekday lunch. There's seating inside.

    Had an appointment nearby the hospital and Jade Rabbit was walking distance. Like the style of Chipotle and Cava, this build your plate concept was for premium Chinese food. I got a plate of Fried rice, cold noodles, spicy Chinese broccoli, zucchini & mushrooms, 1/2 honey chicken and 1/2 chicken mango. Loved all the food I got on my first visit especially the cold noodles! It had a nice bite and chew to it like it was made fresh and housemade. The honey chicken and chicken mango were on point! 10/10 recommend and I'd get this dish again! They have ample bar and dining room seating inside with the cool green neon rabbit signage throughout. Service was fast and efficient. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area.

    Jade rabbit is like a super super super elevated version of panda, and it is just the most incredible comfort food. The portions here are massive as well, if you get a plate, you get two bases, two vegetables, and a protein. The favorites that I tried were the zucchini mushroom, the orange mango chicken, and the Mongolian beef. The egg rolls are so good as well they are cheesy and packed with flavor, don't forget to get the jade sauce, it is like a creamy and spicy sauce that pair as well with literally everything! The service here is also fantastic, everyone that works here is so nice, I can't wait to come back!

    As someone who enjoys filling, customizable, and healthy meals, I will always be a fan of the fast-casual, build-your-own bowl experience. Jade Rabbit nails that concept, with a delicious Chinese-American twist. Typically, you don't expect top-quality at BYOB (build-your-own-bowl) places. Jade Rabbit brings the quality to their BYOB. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The beef and broccoli option was my favorite, with melty beef, balanced sauce, and fresh flavors. Also, don't sleep on their house-made, green hot sauce. Amazing. My buddies and I got our food within five minutes. Service was swift and helpful. The prices were more than fair. And the inside setup was clean, modern, and comfortable. I will for sure be back. A fantastic option for what it is. Fast, casual, customizable, delicious.

    Good price (about $15 with tax) for the quality/quantity of the ingredients. Pick two sides (fried rice/chow mein), two veggies (kale salad, spicy chinese broccoli) and one main (you can also get two half orders of a main dish - spicy chicken/mango orange chicken). Food was delicious and I didn't feel bad about myself afterwards (as I would if I'd had Panda) Friendly employees, clean restaurant, delicious healthyish food. Would definitely return!

    50/50 Chicken with the smallest portions of rice and chow mein I've ever seen.
    Jennifer W.

    Dinner pick up on a Saturday. Let's face it, parking is not easy, and quite frankly a deterrent for me. It's simple...if I can find parking I go. If I can't find parking I go. But lucky for me I did find parking. Service was nice and fast. I ordered the 50/50 chicken so that I could try a little bit of several things, and subbed spicy Chinese broccoli for kale. Added a cheese toast and treated myself to an almond roca chocolate chip cookie. Cheese toast and cookie were *chef's kiss.* But $4 for a piece of bread. Eeek. I've heard this place touted as elevated Panda Express. The flavors were good, but not mind blowing. As they made my bowl I quickly knew where the problem lay. With the portion sizes. Don't expect Panda portions. Literally two bites of chow mein. The smallest scoop of fried rice I've ever seen. And those are the cheap filler items! Sichuan chicken was not 3 peppers spicy, and the mango chicken was more mango than chicken. Am I glad I tried it? Yes. Will be back? Not likely. Panda orange chicken has my heart. Bonus: that damn cheese bread was really good Bogus: portion sizes not in line with the $20+ I paid.

Spoiler alert: the man is the consummate professional. The level of detail this guy focuses on is insane. The floral decorations on the bar top and the hors d'oeuvre platters come to mind. The whole experience was elevated because of the catering - the food, drinks, service, and presentation created a legit classy atmosphere. I felt like we were at a Hollywood premier reception - very fancy. I almost forgot to talk about the food itself lol! The reason we chose Scott in the first place was because we loved his dishes. We were impressed with the tasting menu meeting and selected our menu. When the day came...everything was so delicious! Here's the real proof. As hosts, we rarely get to eat much of the food at the event itself. We are too busy entertaining and talking with visiting family. THANK GOD they send the leftovers home with us! Let me tell you...working our way through the leftovers...was like...reading a love letter. Every dish was so good, so carefully and lovingly made, with only quality ingredients. The quality and care invested in each dish was literally palatable in every bite. The wait staff was professional and friendly. Scott himself was present and supervising everything. Timing of all services was perfect. Everything was perfect. No issues whatsoever, only love and praise, well deserved. Once again, thank you dearly, Chef Scott! Wishing you much continued success! Original review, posted Dec 13, 2023: We enthusiastically recommend Chef Scott and Silver Spoons Catering. He did our big event and it was close to perfect. The tasting meeting was smooth and fun. The pricing was reasonable. Scott is personable and friendly. The night of the event, again, everything went smoothly. The buffet layouts were good. The bar and wait staff were good. The table settings were fancy and elegant. Everything was timed correctly. And omg the food. My son ate like 6-7 of the tuna tartare's. The salmon teriyaki skewers were my favorite appetizer. But my gosh the chicken was heavenly. All the guests commented on how good the food was. The day after we felt completely satisfied and we couldn't wait to dig into the leftovers. That's a good sign!

This tiny Santa Monica wine-and-cheese concept debuted in 2016, and their charcuterie boards earned acclaim from Oprah and The New York Times alike. During the pandemic, Lady & Larder ventured into the sandwich game, and the result was a resounding success. Nowadays, the not-so-secret "Secret Lunch" lineup of gourmet sandwiches is among the best in Los Angeles. The tiny Santa Monica shop shares the block with a Sherwin-Williams and a boxing gym. Cross your fingers for metered street parking on the trafficky block of Pico. Outside, red metal patio furniture is shaded by the overhanging storefront. Natural light runs through multicolored windows to the shop within. The mosaic tiled floor is effortlessly chic. The soaring whitewashed walls are minimally decorated, while shelves and refrigerators are carefully curated with wines, cheeses, tinned fish, and candles. The tablet register is set up on a worn kitchen countertop. Soft, instrumental music immediately feels welcoming. I've visited multiple times for early weekend lunch, and our Toast pre-order was ready upon arrival. We grabbed a table outside, and numerous takeout customers popped in and out during our meal. My favorite was the Disco Only. This elevated turkey club featured an impressive depth of flavor, from the sharp alpine cheese to the rich garlic mayo to the tangy pepperoncini vinegar. The thick-cut Bub and Grandma's sesame bread held up admirably well, and the arugula added a welcome fresh factor. The proteins were plentiful but were outshone by the other components. I also loved the Hot Girl Salami. The sweet-and-hot mustard and crispy baguette accentuated the rich, almost buttery salami. Meanwhile, the Venice Cowgirl was like a cheeseboard on a baguette. The sweet peaches and apricot-habanero jam dominated the subtly rich cheese or thin prosciutto, but the sandwich nonetheless proved to be a unique, summery option worth sharing. Lastly, the Yes, Honey elevated the ham-and-cheese with tangy relish, but the other components felt standard and forgettable. The service was friendly and efficient, and sandwiches ran for $15-20 each. Overall, the food tasted like the Santa Monica Farmer's Market on a premium roll, with sandos ranging from good to excellent. They are worth a dedicated visit if you're in the neighborhood, and I can't wait to work my way through more of Lady & Larder's menu.

They'd been open maybe an hour and there was one other person there picking up an order. First time here. The guy at the counter was very friendly, asked if I knew what I wanted, and I told him no and asked what's popular. He recommended three tacos so I went with that. He never asked about tortillas so they came out on corn. I'm not the biggest fan of corn tortillas, but after I sat down, I looked at the soda cup, and saw "handmade corn AND flour tortillas." Would've gone flour if I'd known that was even an option. My bad for not asking, but also a great opportunity to let a new customer know it's an option. Food came out fast. Three tacos, chips, a couple sides of salsa. All the meat was cold. Not fridge cold, but noticeably below room temperature. I'm sitting five feet from the kitchen in a place that opened 30 minutes ago. How is that even possible? The non-beef tacos were seasoned well, both of them, that part was fine. The beef was where it fell apart. Every single bite had pieces I literally couldn't chew through, and I kept pulling chunks out of my mouth. After my second bite I just stopped going back for more. For over $4 a taco, that quality is atrocious. Very fast if you need something quick to eat. First and last time for me.
