3 week agoAnytime I come back to Staten Island, the Jade is where I go. This place has been open since the 70s. The food is outrageous. You feel like you just stepped on an episode of fantasy island. They still have drinks with the fancy umbrellas . Get the pu pu platter.. the wonton soup is the best.. anything you order is insane. The portions are huge. It’s not expensive. It’s in a summer plaza but ignore it because when you step in , you are going to be pleasantly surprised. They used to have these murals in the tiki huts that moved.. like a waterfall. My whole childhood was there. So adorable.. for families, couples and date night

1 month agoBest of the best! Makes me wish I still live on Staten Island, but we make it a point to go there every single time we visit. I grew up on Staten Island and this place has not changed one bit. It's 50+ years old, and everything around it has changed dramatically, but yet they still have top shelf old school NYC Chinese food. This place is a real treat don't miss it!!!!

2 month agoSo Good! I went last Wednesday. I was so hungry and I found Jade Island. I went and had a booth for one and I was immediately served with crunchy noodles, duck sauce, hot mustard sauce, pot of tea and glass of water (which was refilled often) the waiter was very nice and the place was clean. I ordered pepper streak w/white rice. Oh, my God!! It came in a nice silver holder and a spoon. The steak was so tender, the green peppers were so tender, the onions were delicious and the gravy was delicious I put my rice on the plate and added the pepper steak the combo was so delicious i couldn't stop refilli g my plate! I had a nice amount too!! This Chinese restaurant is my favorite place to go when I leave my doctors appointment at The Blood/Cancer Spot. I had to give the waiter $10 tip because he was very attentive to me and the food is off the hook. Also, as I sat, more customers arrived to enjoy Jade Island. Thank God I found Jade Island and thank you Jade Island I am getting my infusion now and at 11:30 am, I will be ordering my Chinese food

2 month agothis place is an absolute gem. Obviously the decor is amazing tiki-style, but the food was SO good and the drinks as well! You can find classic tiki drinks like don the beachcomber's zombie and the chi chi, as well as retro desserts like jello and ice cream. The service was great as well and we could not have had a better experience.

2 month agoMy grandparents, parents, and now myself and my siblings have come to Jade Island for decades. Now living in PA, we aren’t able to come as often but to this day after living in PA for over 15 years, Jade Island is still our favorite Chinese restaurant and food! Nothing compares. Atmosphere, vibes, food, even the kindness of John and the staff. While some may say the inside is outdated, I truly believe that it adds to the charm. I never want it to change lol. And while my family member, a weekly visitor to Jade Island, was in the hospital they sent along his favorite drink as a treat in an awful time and offered to visit. I will never run out of wonderful things to say about Jade Island and highly, highly recommend it. There’s no place like it. I can’t wait for my next generation to love it as much as I do!

3 month agoPrices have gone up quite a bit. Other than that…. Jade Island is a true Staten Island gem that offers a perfectly nostalgic and delightful dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the fun, classic tiki atmosphere sets a fantastic mood. The food is always fresh and satisfying, with their signature Cantonese and Polynesian dishes hitting all the right notes. Whether you're enjoying a legendary Pu Pu Platter or a flavorful Mai Tai, Jade Island provides great service and an atmosphere that guarantees a memorable time. Get the Coconut Drink!!!

4 month agoThere isn't a more friendly place on the island than jade Island. Im pretty sure it is family run since I've seen the same faces there for over 20 years. The food is the best Chinese food around, no competition. The drinks are crazy. Take a look at the menu, they have hollowed out coconuts and pineapples with lots of really good tiki drinks in them.
