I've had the pizza before and really like it, but the Pappardelle Alla Bolognese was A+. The service has gotten way better since the last time I've been. There was some frustration earlier in the evening and the manager and staff took care of us well for it. I look forward to coming back for more first course items.

About the restaurant

Nestled into a cobblestone square just off Austin Street, Jade Eatery & Lounges’ address hints at why Jade is said to be “Forest Hills hidden gem”. The space integrates a zen-like atmosphere with inspirational quotes that adorn the walls and a serene koi pond presenting a large Buddha statue smiling benevolently on guests guiding them to a choice entree.

Our philosophy was to combine music, aroma and aesthetics to capture a unique gastronomic experience hence our motto “Indulge Your Senses”.
As a neighborhood Asian restaurant catering to local and visiting patrons we strive to maintain quality and consistency. Our concept provides favorite Pan-Asian and southeast Asian dishes as well as creative culinary innovations that have become neighborhood favorites. With signature dishes like Sushi Pizza and Calcutta Chicken, our group focuses on optimizing select ingredients and transforms them into exotic flavor profiles. That is our committed culinary mission.

Restaurant atmosphere was great. Food was delicious. DJ/ Vibe was cool. The only problem I had was the server wasn’t very attentive and hardly ever checked in to see if we needed anything. The prices are reasonable… Food was very flavorful!! Oh and last but not least the drinks were really good!

Delicious food with exceptional views. This is a romantic setting with mood lighting and lots of flowers. The menu had a very good variety. We really enjoyed our dinner. There was a photographer who took our picture during dinner, and we wound up buying the photo. Overall a great experience.
