We have gone to Cathay house for 10 years and always liked the food. We were a little worried that Jade wouldn't be as good. No Worry! Jade is every bit as good, and the new owners have perked up the décor.
We went to Jade for the first time tonight, and ordered several of our favorite entrees. Each was as good, or better than Cathay house.
The biggest difference was the service. The service at Cathay was always efficient, but impersonal. The new owners have obviously encouraged their staff to show some warmth. Our server, Camy, was just delightful, which is rare in an authentic Chinese restaurant. (And Camy is the real deal....she came from Hong Kong...but maybe the degree from UNLV Hotel & Restaurant Mgmt school helped.) But it wasn't just Camy, the other staff were extremely friendly.
We'll be back.
