Jade Island

This was basically a long overdue pilgrimage for my family as Anthony Bourdain devotees. The food was sublime! Generous portions and immaculate presentation. The standout here was the staff. Everyone we encountered was SO friendly. We actually considered hugging our waiter before we left...

This old school Chinese restaurant in a Staten Island strip mall is a classic. Even the late Anthony Bourdain has been here and approved. The food is classic American Chinese food.I've yet to try the drinks which are famous as I've always gone for lunch and drive there. The decor is original. It is really a time capsule and reminds me of a Chinese restaurant I went to as a child. If you have not been and happen to be in the area you should check it out.

This restaurant is always a must when in Staten Island, because they never disappointwith my order of Lobster Cantonese with BlackBeans sauce. Their spare ribs are absolutely delicious. I had to end my meal with the cherry pistachio ice cream, which was the creamiest.Recommend highly.
