Best food in Portland - Edit
Vegan dim sum is on point. The Siu mai and cheung fun are phenomenal. There may be some kind of new protein technology going on here with their vegan beef because it has the best texture. Can't go wrong ordering anything from this spot. The owners are really sweet too!

Totally Hit the Spot - Edit
Was craving dim sum last week and Jade Rabbit came through! Everything we had was amazing and just nailed it. We had siu mai, char siu bao (the dough was a bit dry but the filling was super tasty), lo mai gai, cheung fun, and gailan.

Pros: The food, Atmosphere, Friendly staff
Cons: Have to order everything at once

Disappointing - Edit
Just had the most disappointing restaurant experience of recent memory here, sadly. Food took 40 minutes to come; dessert (halo-halo) came 90 seconds after the mains, and sat there melting while we tried to shove the rest into our faces. The gai lan was too salty to eat; the kimchi pancakes tasted only of sour, no salt nor spice. When we got to the halo-halo it turned out to be mostly just a mound of shaved ice, topped with undercooked sweet beans and tapioca gummies but no ice cream or coconut milk or anything. Such a bummer. Adding a star though cause the cheow fun was good.

Dim sum 🥟 and lose some - Edit
Great location for date night! Had a wonderful time out at this cool NEP restaurant. The drinks were excellent and we did get some very tasty dim sum. We especially loved the spicy oil wantons and the kimchi pancakes! On the negative side, Jade Rabbit leans heavily on recreating flavors of traditional, non-vegan dishes and uses a fair amount of meat substitutes. The faux pork rabbit-shaped bao was cute, but failed to hold together. It would be nice to see a bit more experimentation with less-processed alternatives and more unique dishes. The spicy noodle soup was OK, but lacked flavor. This was unexpected as some of the other dishes, like the vegetables, suffered from being over sauced and spiced. From what I can tell, the restaurant updates it’s menu relatively frequently and they are still working the kinks out on a few of the dishes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend for someone looking for a few choice dishes to enjoy with very good drinks.

Amazing dimsum - Edit
We loved the wontons & zongzi in particular. The halohalo is also interesting! And there are fun cocktails.

The best dumplings ever!! - Edit
Everything was absolutely delicious. The best, most flavorful dim sum I’ve ever had. The chili oil was the best. The bunnies are adorable even though I felt bad for eating them lol. Beautiful setting too. However, most of the seating is upstairs. They do have some tables that aren’t up stairs so they’re accessible.

Very good dim sum, just a bit too greasy for me - Edit
Grateful that we even have vegan dim sum in the first place. However as an Asian the bar is high for me. The foods are a bit greasy to me, and I am always not a huge fan of meat substitute so that was some minus for me that they used meat substitutes in the traditionally meat dim sums.

Gimmie dat dim sum - Edit
We ordered 5 of the dim sum items and they were all outstanding. We used to be devotees to Ichiza and every time I would order all of the dumpling options, it's sick that they focus on it. Also, the crab Rangoon is nuts.

Amazing Vegan Dim Sum - Edit
Just discovered this place and definitely need to go back for more. Lots of dim sum choices as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Their “infamous chili oil sauce” is yummy and available to purchase in a jar to take home. Everything was delicious. Even with the fillings being similar between items, there was enough variety in each one that they each tasted unique. Limited outdoor seating.

Jade Rabbit Won't Be a Habit - Edit
We tried five items. The Bawan Buns looked more impressive than they tasted. They were kind of bland, and I didn't really like the squishy consistency from the tapioca. I did not like the gelatinous sauce on the Bean Curd Skin Rolls. However, I did like the garlic vinegar sauce for the Cantonese Siu Mai dumplings. The Lo Mai Gai were difficult to remove from the lotus leaves. I didn't try the house chili oil because I have a low spice tolerance, and the Lo Mai Gai tasted flavorless without it. The Lumpia reminded me of an egg roll. The banana chili sauce overpowered all the other ingredients. Overall, I wouldn't order any of these dishes again, but I would consider trying others. However, I was extremely disappointed by how much plastic was used for our order; even moreso when I remembered Jade Rabbit only offers takeout.

Great Noodles! - Edit
I ate the food quite a bit of time after it was delivered, reheated on the microwave, which is not good for fried or steamed items, so my take on the starters might be off. The dumpling was too thick, with very little filling and no veggies at all, making it very bland. Lo Mai Gai smelled amazing with the mushrooms, but the taste was rather bland as well. The turnip cake tasted mostly just of oil. The sauces didn't help much.
Read moreI also had the Mami, a soup with thick noodles that was excellent. The texture of the noodles was just perfect, with crunchy spring onions and the broth was packed with flavor. The chicken pieces in it smelled and tasted great too.

Fav Portland Resturant - Edit
My mouth just started watering even thinking of this place. Everything I’ve tried from here has been superb! So packed with flavor and very unique. We always get the same order which is: 2 orders of chili wontons (trust me you don’t wanna share), adobe chicken (my personal fav), and the hubs gets a noodle soup. I’ve also tried their fiery chicken, and siu mai which were great as well. I’ve never brought anyone to this restaurant who didn’t love it either!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. - Edit
Literally one of my favorite veggie restaurants in the world. Hadn’t been in over a year (pandemic), but took a road trip to Portland this weekend and realized they’d relocated to a new neighborhood - so, if you can believe it, it’s even better! It’s now in a quiet neighborhood with lovely trees, flowers, and birds singing while you eat outside. So peaceful. And the food...well, amazing, as always. If I lived in Portland, it would be very hard for me to eat anywhere else! Thank you to all those who make Ichiza Kitchen what it is. You are doing so much right!!

A Portland classic - Edit
This place is highly rated on Happy Cow and rightly so. I've had most of their menu and you really can't go wrong with any of the dishes here. They serve their take on an eclectic best-of of various Asian cuisines with a delicious emphasis on dim sum. Order one of your go-tos while branching out and trying something new. Will continue to come back here especially when I'm going to treat myself!

This place was just awesome. I rarely ever get to go to vegan restaurants and it did not disappoint. They are very cautious letting people in to dine and even check your temperature before you are seated. They were only taking reservations, but we lucked out and got a seat just in time.

My favorite vegan place - Edit
I was so excited when I found out Ichiza was moving to my neighborhood. Honestly my favorite vegan restaurant in a city full of great choices. All the small plates are delish and the tea service is amazing (love Blue People). They just opened limited inside seating and it's the first place I've eaten inside in 7 months. Highly recommend.
