    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Isabel F.

    Jade Rabbit is excellent. The food is delicious, the rabbit character is very cute, and the price seems reasonable. I do the build your own bowl with salad mix and brown rice usually. I love the cucumber salad, pickled cabbage, and roasted sweet potatoes, but you can't go wrong with any of the veggies. I usually get a third vegetable instead of a main because I am vegetarian, but they do have a chickpea curry main that is delish! The green dressing/sauce situation is amazing - it tastes herbal and fresh. Employees are always kind as well. :)

    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.

I also got an iced coffee which was delicious. the server was really nice and the food cake out quick. love it here

    Where do I begin?…read more This was my last day in the beautiful land of California, and before heading out to catch my flight back to the South, I was craving Mediterranean food. I've been on a bit of a Mediterranean kick lately, thank you Cava for that. First impressions? The environment was beautiful. Seriously photo worthy. As a photographer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture inside and around the area. It had that visual vibe that made me excited to be there. There was no line when we walked in, so I quickly landed on my order: the Crimson Chicken Wrap (white meat) with a side of babaganoush, and the Chicken Shawarma (dark meat) with a side of fries. Everything sounded solid. But then... we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed. In that time, about 3 to 4 other customers came in, placed their orders, got their food, and left. Meanwhile, we were still waiting on two of their more popular items. I tried to be patient, gave them the benefit of the doubt, until I saw someone who arrived 25 minutes after us get their Chicken Shawarma within 10 minutes of walking in. Given that we were on a time crunch with other places to be, the delay was beyond frustrating. We ended up speaking with the manager and shared our concerns, but by that point, the experience was already soured. Now for the food. I wanted to like it. The first bite had promise, but after that, it just felt like I was eating out of obligation. For the price point, the service delays, and the lackluster flavor, I honestly can't recommend the entrées I tried. The coffee? It seemed to be good, but not enough to bring me back just for that. I wish I could give Crimson a stronger review, especially because the space itself is stunning. But in the end, it was a case of style over substance. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, though I did walk away with some great photos, at least.
