| - This is a brand new restaurant in Mt. Lebanon. I was expecting a crowd, but it was just us on a Sunday afternoon. Quiet and peaceful, though probably not good for business.
Friends of ours had recommended that we try the handmade dumplings, so we ordered those and the Szechuan dumplings. They are very different from each other! The Szechuan dumplings were like boiled potstickers that were in a garlic soy sauce, and though very garlicky, they were still good. The handmade steamed dumplings were fabulous! Be sure to get some extra fresh ginger right alongside those yummy pockets of goodness.
The next course was my staple order of a shrimp tempura roll and an Alaskan roll, just so I could compare in my sushi competition of life. Very good, though Jade Grill will not take a place in my top three. If I had to rate them for anything, it would be the dumplings. They were very notable.
The service was wonderful, but again, we were the only ones there. Our waitress was extremely knowledgable. She shared some chef secrets and helped to debunk a question about shrimp tails.
They have a great wine and liquor selection, and several craft beers on tap. I hope they get more busines, as I think there is great potential here.
