Was not too thrilled about the food here. Had the lechon kawali which was actually pretty soft and crispy but I felt like the food lacked flavor. The noodles tasted like fish and one of the lumpia they gave me was the size of my pinky. May give it another try but for now this is my verdict on Jades Filipino food.

The food was delicious! We had the pork belly BBQ pork and chicken skewers rice and pancit. We also tried the flan and bibingka. ALL OF IT WAS DELICIOUS 😋 The service was great too. They have just a few tables not a large space, but very clean. I will be bringing my family back again.

Ive been to this restaurant three times, and this is the first time reviewing it, and I wanted to explain why I gave it two stars. Btw, I’ve never seen it busy whenever I visited. Jade has an excellent potential to be a great restaurant. Some of their dishes are tasty. Though someone who knows Filipino cooking may beg a differ on some of their dishes that taste like re-heated or refrigerated. Making Filipino food is time-consuming and having the right menu and offering tasty fresh dishes are the key.The menu is typical of any other Filipino restaurant, and the main complaint I have is that the photo of their dishes doesnt look the same as what theyre offering. On one occasion, I ordered a combination, and the pancit didnt taste right, and its almost sour. The pork bbq has a delicious taste, but when you look at the photo, it looks like your getting a large skewered bbq, and its only like 6 inches. Its a bit deceiving. I ordered Lechon kawali, and it doesnt even look like the real Filipino dish(see photo), and it was $16+ per order and on my photo that was two orders.Pricing is too high based on what you get and how it is presented. In the restaurant, your advertising is your food, how it tastes, and how it is presented. I’ve been to Filipino restaurants worldwide, and by far, this place is the most expensive in its category. Filipino food is not cheap by any means but not expensive either. It’s easier to make Filipino food than Thai or Chinese. Their catering prices are also way overpriced. I’d love for people to love Filipino food because it’s good, it’s comfort food, and better than another Asian cuisine, though not offering it well may dismay others to enjoy it.The review, I hope, would give the owners something to think about.

Literally saved us for our party. On a whim, was able to make us a full tray of lechon and an extra tray of adobo. Food was delicious and such great service. Will 100% order from Jades over and over again. Thank you all for helping us.

I can’t speak for the food, as I have not tried it yet. However, their halo halos are delicious! The customer service is also great. I am always met with a smile. Will definitely be coming back!

Soooooo tasty! BBQ pork belly combo plate, Chicken Adobo combo plate (substituted steamed veggies for rice) and an order of Dinugan (pork, pork/beef blood, onion, garlic, fish sauce, vinegar, etc)!! My favorite (and on our return) will be the BBQ/grilled pork belly-tender and tasty! Thank you Jade’s! Oh, and dessert was the silken tofu, tapioca pearls, caramel warmed dessert-also delicious (but can not recall the name).

My favorite thing to have here is the lechon kawali. The pork is cooked just right and not greasy like you think it would be. The fried tilapia is similarly not as greasy as it seems like it would be, and its so juicy and flavorful that I cant get enough of it. I also love the different sides that come with the meals here; theyre quite delicious.

I enjoy eating Filipino food from Jades. The adobo, pancit, and lumpia are tasty! The deserts are good too. The staff is super friendly and will answer any question about the dishes and are happy to recommend something that you are going to like.!

I have been getting food there for 3 years,and this was first time I was disappointed. The pancit was flat, the lumpia was over cooked, the bbq on the stick was tough. I am ex-navy. I know the difference. USN retired.

My review is based on having eaten at other filipino restaurants from the Bay Area to LA. Its the only filipino restaurant available in the central coast. Going to places like Goldilocks would offer you more food, unfortunately here, the portions are small. They definately use theyre the only filipino restaurant to their advantage because their prices are slightly high. The food is good and the service is friendly. I order the lechon kawali regularly, however its fried to the point its dry so that the skin is crispy. If thats your preference, cool, but my boyfriend expected the meat to be juicer and the skin to be crispy, this is not that.

I bought pancit &vegetable lumpia yesterday . I was disappointed because I found no meat nor any vegetable in the bland tasting, pale pancit 😱. The vegetable lumpia has only corn grain in it & no other veggies.👎👎 I’m not coming to this place anymore unless they improve their recipe for pancit/ lumpia, etc.
