Tasty! - Edit
My group loved the pork kimchi wontons and the pot stickers. The salt and toasted tofu was tasty too, but not quite as good.
Read moreThe restaurant offers a tea service, we purchased the duck crap tea and the staff taught us how to use the equipment.
However, there were a few things that were not good. We ordered a mushroom and rice dish that was plain, and our soup - while having delicious vegan chicken - was boring.
I would definitely go here again, but will steer clear of the mushroom rice and soups.

Adorable rabbit shaped dumplings - Edit
The chow fun noodles are one of my favorite things I’ve eaten in Portland, and the rabbit shaped dumplings are so cute and delicious.

The best - Edit
Jade Rabbit remains my favorite restaurant! The flavors and textures are so good. The staff are always kind and helpful. If you love dim sum, are a vegan, or both, then Jade Rabbit is a MUST!

Great Service and Options but lacking flavor - Edit
Always love going to an all vegan restaurant. Overall I found most of the dishes a little bland but still fresh and well made. The gailan was so salty it was almost inedible. I was really excited to try the ube crème brûlée but it was a weird gelatinous texture and the sugar on top was a hard burnt mess.

Dim Sum for Dayz - Edit
Extensive menu with a lot of great options you won't find anywhere else. Better come with others as it's way more fun to share so you can sample things and most options come in multiples which makes sharing easy.
Read moreThis place is always packed, reservations recommended or you may not get in. There is outside seating during summer which makes things easier.
Ordered Siu Mai, Kimchi Mungbean Cakes, Lo Mai Gai, and Fiery Wind Noodle Soup w/ Ramen Noodles. Everything was pretty good, though the soup was spicy (not too spicy) but kind of lacking in any more depth. The chickn' pieces were lovely!
Will totally be back to sample more of the menu.

Excellent Siu Mai - Edit
Came here with a group and we got:
Read more- Puto Pao Bunny Bao
- Jade Rabbit Dumplings
- Siu Mai
- Mami Noodle Soup with ramen (sub vegan chicken for Tofu)
- Fried noodle dish of some kind
Street parking was pretty easy to find and we had to make a reservation in advance. We sat in the front inside section of the restaurant and the seats were comfy. Perfect for a date spot and smallish groups.
The food was very flavorful and the waiter very friendly, the bunny-shaped dumplings and bao were very charming but I liked the other things we got better. The Mami Noodle Soup was big enough to share for two people. Great experience!
Pros: Siu Mai, Restaurant's vibes, Automatic gratuity
Cons: Menu online was different than in person, Space feels a little crowded

Ok, could be better - Edit
The chili oil dumplings and char siu bao were excellent. The bunny baos (we had the Filipino inspired ones) were bland and the dough was an odd texture (dough was not the same as the char siu bao). The chow fun was ok. The gailan was drenched with WAY too much oyster sauce. We couldn't eat the leafy portions bcz the sauce to vegetable ratio was too much. Nice atmosphere. Staff communicated well. So it's ok, but we will not return the next time we are in Portland.
Read morePros: Cute atmosphere, Char siu bao and chili dumplings
Cons: Other food was so-so

Vegan Chinese 🤗 - Edit
I lovee seeing vegan Chinese restaurants thrive like this one. Staff are super friendly and service was quick. I had the fiery wind noodles (GF rice noodles) and the spice level was perfect. Lots of flavor! The vegan chicken was so unique as well.

To dim-sum it up: Outstanding! - Edit
Good dim sum is something this vegan Chinese American misses a lot, so I'm always on the lookout for really good vegan dim sum when I can get it, but this is like looking for a unicorn in most places. Ah, but Portland, of course! Jade Rabbit had several guilty-pleasure dim sum items that were delicious: fried "crab" wontons, BBQ baos, dumplings, potstickers, and lotus-wrapped sticky rice. Buddha Bodai in NYC is still the exemplar for vegan dim sum, but Jade Rabbit is a very close contender, and that's saying a lot. Tea options were impressive and service was friendly and fast. Would recommend again to myself and all when in SE Portland!

Flavorless - Edit
Some of the most bland food I’ve had. Not sure if there has been a change or something, but was extremely disappointed. They also no longer have alcohol- which would’ve been fine had the food been good.

Delicious and creative! - Edit
My friend and I ordered the Gailan, Jade Rabbit dumplings, Chili oil wontons, Adobo, and then the Ube creme brulee for dessert. We shared everything and it was honestly all so good. The wontons were a little spicy for me, but my friend loved them. The dumplings were adorable and tasty! I really loved both the gailan and adobo. The Ube creme brulee was smooth with a lovely sweet crunch. Unfortunately, the beancurd skin dumplings that I was looking forward to trying were not available.
Read moreThe space is incredibly inviting; while we sat inside by the opening, the outside would have also been fun! We made a reservation for noon on a Friday, and although it wasn’t necessary, it was very easy and probably best during busier times. The staff was kind and helpful in explaining everything. It is on the pricier side, but well worth the visit. I personally think the service charge instead of tipping is wonderful; I enjoy supporting places with livable wages.
Will definitely go back!
Pros: Vegan dim sum, So many good options, Friendly staff

Excellent food and dining experience - Edit
Great restaurant, super happy we stopped in on our visit to Portland.
Read moreI recommend making a reservation, we made one for noon exactly at opening and the whole place was completely full already before we even finished our meal.
Pros;
Unique vegan options, many dishes that are not easy to find vegan versions of elsewhere which was really cool. Our server was lovely, our service was fast, the food and tea was mostly fantastic. We got a couple small items and a bowl, and everything was near perfect but i will say the bao buns we got were very dry, like idk if ive had bao buns that dry before. The filling itself was good though.
The food is a little pricey as some have said, but I’d rather pay $20 for a unique and hard to find dish than spend the same on a bagel sandwich and chips at Ben and Esther’s (no shade, love B&E too, just saying).
The bean curd wrap rolls, the mung bean flat cakes and the adobo bowl were all SO good. No notes, 110% would order again
Cons: While I appreciate the sentiment of no gratuity and just doing an automatic service charge of 22%, I feel like that’s a little performative and would rather just every menu item be marked up another buck or two and them just say “Don’t worry about gratuity, we actually pay our servers above minimum wage”. The “no tip but mandatory service charge” still kind of promotes the onus of employee compensation being on the customer instead of the business, so especially in a place that already has a minimum wage of over $16/hr for servers, just fully commit to no gratuity if you’re gonna go that route. Just my opinion. If every other country can figure out how to pay employees without making it the customers problem, surely America can too. That was the only weird part to me, either give me the option to decide what I’d like to tip or remove the idea of gratuity entirely, the middle option of announcing “you don’t have to tip but we charge 22% regardless” just seemed odd
All of that being said I would 100% love to come back here next time I’m visiting Oregon

Great food, but pricey! - Edit
Our server let us know that this is one of three vegan dim sum places in the country. After that introduction, we were ready for a special experience.
Read moreWe ordered Siu Mai, Char Siu Bao, Chili Oil Wontons, Rangoons and Jade Rabbit Dumplings. We thought the best dishes were the Siu Mai and the Chili Oil Wontons.
For dessert, we tried the Ube Mochi Brownie, Pandan Kiwi Spongecake and Ube Creme Brulee. The brownie was our favorite.
Other reviewers have commented on the "hit or miss" nature of the different dishes. I think that's the nature of dim sum.
We knocked off a star because the price tag was more than we were expecting. When it costs $175 to feed a family of four without drinks (although some of you may think three desserts is excessive), it's hard to recommend the restaurant whole-heartedly.
Pros: Variety of dishes, Great ambiance
Cons: Price

Interesting Menu - Edit
Small menu with interesting options. A couple of the things we wanted to try the most they were out of. Some of the dishes we tried were outstanding, and some were not worth the price. Our favorite by far was the crab rangoons.
Read moreThe staff were nice, but we had so many different people attend to us it was odd. Not sure why they have so many people working at such a tiny place.
Overall it’s worth trying, but we probably won’t be back because of how many other places there are to try in Portland.
Pros: All vegan, Unusual menu items, Crab rangoons
Cons: Small food menu and still out of many things, Some dishes heavily over salted, Drinks overpriced

An off day? Slow service, some dishes seemed too salty while others just seemed a bit off, mis-charged for one dish, had to ask for utensils and napkins after food was served. The non-alcoholic drink was really tasty.
