They’ll serve you raw salmon and just dump a bunch of salt on your food, don’t waste your money at this place

Love, love, love Jade Rabbit. A new and unique take on Chinese American cuisine. Everything tasted fresh and the flavors were amazing. The vibe was fun, the staff was friendly and helpful and the food was legit. Definitely adding JR to the rotation for lunch AND dinner!

I gave this place two chances.
I returned yesterday a second time....and I think the food is awful. Truly bad.
Ordered a 50/50 chicken bowl. Lukewarm, dice sized chicken pieces, fried in flour, greasy. Undercooked noodles. Spicy soft cucumbers in chili sauce. Pieces of dried chili sprinkled in the bowl. Wet rice on the bottom of the bowl. I struggled to finish it because the taste was so unappealing and poorly executed.
The restaurant has some seating in the back and front but if these are taken you will sit, as I did, at a long, south facing countertop along the windows with the blazing hot sun hitting you as you eat. It made the experience even more unpleasant.
I know this restaurant has some high accolades but honestly it is below average and even Chipotle or Panda Express is superior.

Love this place. The food is amazing and a great price point for Santa Monica area. It's hard to come by good american chinese food. I have also ordered for office lunches and everybody loved and were very happy! Highly recommend!

I visited Jade Rabbit when they first opened and I can’t wait to go back. It’s one of those places where you immediately feel like you’re getting great value because of the price and portion of food. There are so many options to choose from that it’s almost impossible to settle on just one thing, which makes it perfect for coming back again and again to try something new. If you go, you have to order the scallion garlic cheese toast! And don’t skip dessert—the almond roca cookie is the perfect sweet finish. Jade Rabbit delivers on flavor, variety, and value. Highly recommend stopping by!

As soon as you step foot into Jade Rabbit, you can feel how much thought went into this restaurant! Between the cute mural, neon sign, and layout of the space, it's clear that it was meticulously designed with so much love. If I had to summarize Jade Rabbit in five words: great value, great people, delicious.
We were pleasantly surprised by how many side options were available and couldn't decide on just one, so we tried almost all of them! Our favorites were the Chinese pickled cabbage, Chinese broccoli, and cucumber salad. The fried rice was nice and moist, and had great flavor from the green onions!
And do yourself a favor and order the scallion cheese toast. I would come back again just for that, it was insanely delicious and blew my away!! I echo the same sentiment for the cookie and Hong Kong milk tea, oh my god. I don't know the last time I had milk tea that good, not too sweet, great tea flavor, what more can you ask for?
And the mango pudding?! I loved the tartness. Would definitely order again. I don't live anywhere near Santa Monica otherwise I'd be here once a week.

Fresh and affordable! The Beef & Broccoli tastes just like a lomo saltado. Vegetable side dishes were also really fresh. Lychee Slushie was refreshing.

Best fast casual in town currently. I eat here after my workouts at least 4x a week now, and it’s just as good as the first time I tried it. Leaves you feeling full and satisfied without the bloat of a lot of other fast options. Healthy AND quick? Say no more! The jade sauce is absolutely a must btw.
We had a wonderful experience at Jade Rabbit last week! The food and service were both incredible. Neither of us are big tea drinkers, but we are glad we didn’t skimp on the tea! The owner ceremoniously poured us a delicious oolong tea, that they pick up from a special shop in San Francisco, and taught us about traditional tea culture in Taiwan. For dinner, we enjoyed dumplings, gailang, salt & pepper squid, turnip cakes, sisig with garlic rice, and more! A lot of their dishes use top quality faux meats from Layonna’s, which can be hard to find PDX and many are GF! Lastly, we finished the meal with an excellent ube mochi brownie. When you dine at Jade Rabbit, not only are you in for an awesome meal, but an unforgettable dining experience, as well. Don’t sleep on Jade Rabbit, folks! You’ll be sad that you did!

Great food and great vibes! The food was amazing and hit the spot! I was also pleasantly surprised by the affordability given today’s pricing at a majority restaurants, especially one with a well known chef! Probably one of the best deals you can get for the quality of food… basically paying Panda prices for way higher quality food! The almond roca cookie is a must have and their slushies are awesome too!

No Joke! This place is going to be huge :) Eat here while you can before it gets too popular to get in.... One of the best new fast casual restaurants I have eaten at in the last 10 years.... We, my wife and I, also met the owners on our way out, talked to them for what seemed like half hour... some of the coolest and nicest people you will ever meet. It all makes sense now.... the vibe, the look, the food, the feel, everything about this place mirrors the owners after spending some time with them. Big Big Fan!! Great job and can't wait to see this place expand!!! last note, food was soooo tasty! I will be eating here once a week, cravable for sure :)
