(I say hot because I burnt my mouth taking my first bite haha...) I ordered the Beef Lo Mein, which was good but different from other lo meins I usually order because it had a more soupy sauce! I also got their iced Lychee Green Tea with Regular sugar, which I loved. Service was very fast and the inside of the place was nice and clean! 10/10 Would come back!

We were in the area dropping our dog off and it was getting late. We originally planned to eat at a…read morepopular spot in Manhattan, but since it was getting late (and I was getting hangry, lol), we decided to look for something nearby. That's when we found Lion Dance in Staten Island. Honestly, I didn't expect much because this place is on Staten Island. I've lived here my whole life, and to be real, not a lot of food spots here are that good. I usually go to other parts of NYC to eat. But BOY, WAS I WRONG. I got the pork soup dumplings, lotus leaf steamed rice with beef and broccoli, shrimp siu mai, and a mango green tea with medium sugar and mango jelly. Everything was so good! The biggest surprise was the lotus leaf steamed rice, it had so much flavor and went perfectly with the beef. The portion was big too. The soup dumplings were juicy, the siu mai were fresh, and the mango green tea was super refreshing. Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean and nicely decorated. Overall, I loved the food, the vibe, and the service. Definitely coming back and if you're from Staten Island, trust me, this spot is worth checking out!

We came in for dinner around 7 pm and it was somewhat full, but they still sat us right away. We ordered exclusively from the dim sum menu (though the main menu also looked good). We went with the shrimp hargaw, turnip cakes, shrimp and leeks dumplings, the sweet piggy custard buns and the fish mango pudding. Of the items we got I enjoyed the shrimp and leek dumplings the most, whilst the turnip cake and the jello mango pudding shaped like a fish were my least favorite. But the shrimp and leek dumplings with a bit of chili crisp oil was perfect. And the cute piggy themed custard buns were also a perfect sweet ending. I definitely would be interested in coming back to try items off of the main menu.

After years of passing Jade Island and hearing people recommend it, we finally decided to give it a…read moretry and it definitely lived up to the hype. The moment you walk in, you feel like you've been transported back in time to a Polynesian island. The décor is amazing and gives the whole place a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. We were seated right away, which was a great start. The only downside was the seating along the walls. Those tables are pretty tight, so they may not be very comfortable for larger guests. We started with the pu pu platter for two, and it was incredible. Everything on it was delicious, and they light the fire right in front of you so you can toast the items yourself. It was a fun experience and made the appetizer feel extra special. For our meals, we got the beef with broccoli and the pork lo mein. A lot of Chinese food can have that overly greasy texture, but that was not the case here. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared without being greasy. The portions were huge seriously, the egg roll was the size of a small child. That is probably where some of the extra oil came in, but it was nothing overwhelming or unpleasant. We finished with ice cream for dessert, and overall, it was an amazing meal from start to finish. Great food, great atmosphere, generous portions, and a fun dining experience. I would definitely recommend Jade Island.

Had an absolutely wonderful time here for my birthday!…read more The ambiance and decor is a 10/10. It's like being whisked away to a beautiful Polynesian island. Service was very friendly. They didn't flip out when I was running late (I'm still so sorry about that). And on top of being ok with us bringing a cake, they happily offered to bring it out with a candle and song, and offered to cut and serve it for us. Five stars already for that alone! Drinks were delicious and the food was such a delight. Crunchy chips were at the table with a delicious sweet dipping sauce to start. I ordered the Polynesian Coconut Chicken which was so good and quite sweet- of course due to the lychee, pineapple and cherries. Also ordered the steamed vegetable dumplings, which were tasty. After dinner, my friends and I then headed to their bar where they happily served us until nearly closing. They never once tried to push us out or point out the time. They made my birthday one to remember and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. I so wish I lived closer!

If you like your spice - I definitely do and highly recommend the medium spice which was great for us. Everything was delicious, and the staff and service were so polite, efficient and accommodating.
