About
Jade Seafood Restaurant opened in Richmond in 2004 as a Cantonese banquet and dim sum destination on No. 3 Road. Under executive chef Tam Chi Ling, the kitchen is known for classical technique applied to seafood, soups, and seasonal specials such as stir-fried fish maw with scallops and mushrooms. The Chinese Restaurant Awards have repeatedly placed Jade on Elite lists; Visit Richmond and local chef chatter (including Alex Chen and Roger Ma in awards copy) treat it as a Richmond reference point. Lunch leans dim sum; dinner expands into banquet seafood and clay-pot cooking. Expect a polished mall-plaza room built for families and groups rather than a tiny chef’s counter.

Diners say
Public Yelp and Google reviews repeatedly praise dumpling and seafood quality, classic banquet service, and reliability for family gatherings. The same threads note weekend waits, a large lively room, and prices above casual food-court Cantonese. Diners often frame Jade as a special dim sum or dinner Richmond table rather than a quick bite.
