There's a lot we love about Jade. The homestyle Southeast asian cuisine, truffle fries, the bahn mi, the family friendliness. It's our go to spot pretty much anytime we're hungry. Admittedly it's sort of an addiction.
It started about a year ago. We were in the neighborhood grabbing lunch at Garden State and stopped in for tea. April and my wife hit it off immediately. A few weeks later we were back for Vietnamese sandwiches.
Then it was the Hum Bao, then the Snapper and the grilled eggplant, then for months I was hooked on the Yellow Chicken Curry.
They've made it the type of place where you want to linger, to chill. It's become the neighborhood hangout spot, and now that we live in the area we're hear even more often.
My latest addiction's been the fresh wide noodles, essentially a Pad See Ew, but better. That, that and the udon.
Ha, and I haven't even started on the tea and desserts. Yes, addicted to those too. It's weird confessing all this, I just think it's about time someone gave this joint the love it deserves.
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, fantastic Southeast Asian food
Cons: Long waits on Friday and Staurday nights.
