Perfect Vegan Dim Sum

Jade Rabbit in Portland is such a fun find for vegan dim sum! 🥟🌱

The Jade Rabbit Dumplings were absolutely delicious! Served piping hot, wonderfully chewy, and bursting with flavor. Definitely a highlight!

The noodle soup was another favorite, especially with their locally handmade rice noodles. The broth was delicate, comforting, and genuinely rejuvenating. I learned the hard way on my first visit that I much prefer it without the abundance of green onions and crispy garlic garnish. On my second visit, I had those held, and the beautiful flavors of the broth really shined through.

The Wood Ear Mushrooms were another standout! Served cold, which might surprise some, but wow, do they pack an incredible punch of umami flavor! 🤤

The Five Spice Carrot Cake was beautifully presented, but unfortunately a little too dry for my liking. Not something I’d order again, especially with so many other tempting options on the menu.

Overall, Jade Rabbit delivers a wonderful vegan dining experience with creative dishes, bold flavors, and some truly memorable dumplings. I’ll happily return to explore more of the menu!

Pros: Jade Rabbit Dumplings, Mami Soup Gluten Free

So good 😭

I just about cried eating here. I haven't had dim sum in years, and I miss it all the time. This place hit the spot. We got the chili oil wontons (boiled), char siu bao, jade rabbit dumplings, and rangoons. The wontons were my favorite, with the char siu bao a close second. I am genuinely heartbroken I don't live in Portland; I'd probably come back regularly. We're already talking about going back to get more dim sum sometime!
Highly recommend making a reservation; we got there somewhat early for the dinner hour and just barely got a table before the dinner rush.

Pros: Yummy dim sum, Fully vegan menu

Hooray for vegan dim sum!

I was unsure about all the mock meats in the menu items, but I was very pleasantly surprised! My friend and I shared Siu Mai (pork and shiitake topped w/roe), Bunny Bao (pork /black garlic), Jade Rabbit dumplings (mochi w/ beef), Turnip cakes, and Mami (grilled chicken) Noodle Soup. I filled up before I’d tried everything, so I had to take her word that the bunny bao were slightly better than the jade rabbits. I liked everything I ate, but If I were there on my own I would either just get turnip cakes again (so good!), or the salt and pepper tofu, the Mami noodle soup - either way I’d take 1/2 home! Go hungry!

Dinner was very good

The Siu Mai was outstanding and filling so much so I didn’t have room for the Adobo. The Adobo was so realistic, as a vegan I was a bit uncomfortable. But all the food was very good. The staff was friendly and responsive. They said they are moving again from Belmont to Hawthorne near the McMenamins/Powells block.

So good

Haven't had dim sum in years. So great to be able to eat everything! Even the non vegans at the table loved it. My daughter was especially excited to eat krab rangoon for the very first time because she is allergic to shellfish.

Good food and amazing service!

Came for early dinner/late lunch. The food was so good and the customer service was amazing. Everything came out hot and delicious. Our waiter gave us some extra stuff to try since it was our first time. Will definitely come again.

Tasty!

My group loved the pork kimchi wontons and the pot stickers. The salt and toasted tofu was tasty too, but not quite as good.

The restaurant offers a tea service, we purchased the duck crap tea and the staff taught us how to use the equipment.

However, there were a few things that were not good. We ordered a mushroom and rice dish that was plain, and our soup - while having delicious vegan chicken - was boring.

I would definitely go here again, but will steer clear of the mushroom rice and soups.

The chow fun noodles are one of my favorite things I’ve eaten in Portland, and the rabbit shaped dumplings are so cute and delicious.

Great Service and Options but lacking flavor

Always love going to an all vegan restaurant. Overall I found most of the dishes a little bland but still fresh and well made. The gailan was so salty it was almost inedible. I was really excited to try the ube crème brûlée but it was a weird gelatinous texture and the sugar on top was a hard burnt mess.

Dim Sum for Dayz

Extensive menu with a lot of great options you won't find anywhere else. Better come with others as it's way more fun to share so you can sample things and most options come in multiples which makes sharing easy.

This place is always packed, reservations recommended or you may not get in. There is outside seating during summer which makes things easier.

Ordered Siu Mai, Kimchi Mungbean Cakes, Lo Mai Gai, and Fiery Wind Noodle Soup w/ Ramen Noodles. Everything was pretty good, though the soup was spicy (not too spicy) but kind of lacking in any more depth. The chickn' pieces were lovely!

Will totally be back to sample more of the menu.

Best dim sum in my opinion

Wow. Amazing food and great service. We ordered a bunch of bao, dumplings, wontons, Chinese broccoli, and mama soup.

I also got some duck [censored] tea. It had more floral notes than I was expecting, but overall pleasant.

Excellent Siu Mai

Came here with a group and we got:
- Puto Pao Bunny Bao
- Jade Rabbit Dumplings
- Siu Mai
- Mami Noodle Soup with ramen (sub vegan chicken for Tofu)
- Fried noodle dish of some kind

Street parking was pretty easy to find and we had to make a reservation in advance. We sat in the front inside section of the restaurant and the seats were comfy. Perfect for a date spot and smallish groups.

The food was very flavorful and the waiter very friendly, the bunny-shaped dumplings and bao were very charming but I liked the other things we got better. The Mami Noodle Soup was big enough to share for two people. Great experience!

Pros: Siu Mai, Restaurant's vibes, Automatic gratuity

Cons: Menu online was different than in person, Space feels a little crowded

Ok, could be better

The chili oil dumplings and char siu bao were excellent. The bunny baos (we had the Filipino inspired ones) were bland and the dough was an odd texture (dough was not the same as the char siu bao). The chow fun was ok. The gailan was drenched with WAY too much oyster sauce. We couldn't eat the leafy portions bcz the sauce to vegetable ratio was too much. Nice atmosphere. Staff communicated well. So it's ok, but we will not return the next time we are in Portland.

Pros: Cute atmosphere, Char siu bao and chili dumplings

Cons: Other food was so-so

Vegan Chinese 🤗

I lovee seeing vegan Chinese restaurants thrive like this one. Staff are super friendly and service was quick. I had the fiery wind noodles (GF rice noodles) and the spice level was perfect. Lots of flavor! The vegan chicken was so unique as well.

To dim-sum it up: Outstanding!

Good dim sum is something this vegan Chinese American misses a lot, so I'm always on the lookout for really good vegan dim sum when I can get it, but this is like looking for a unicorn in most places. Ah, but Portland, of course! Jade Rabbit had several guilty-pleasure dim sum items that were delicious: fried "crab" wontons, BBQ baos, dumplings, potstickers, and lotus-wrapped sticky rice. Buddha Bodai in NYC is still the exemplar for vegan dim sum, but Jade Rabbit is a very close contender, and that's saying a lot. Tea options were impressive and service was friendly and fast. Would recommend again to myself and all when in SE Portland!

Pros: Hard-to-find, delicious dim sum treats , Friendly, fast service

Cons: A bit overpriced IMHO

Flavorless

Some of the most bland food I’ve had. Not sure if there has been a change or something, but was extremely disappointed. They also no longer have alcohol- which would’ve been fine had the food been good.

Delicious and creative!

My friend and I ordered the Gailan, Jade Rabbit dumplings, Chili oil wontons, Adobo, and then the Ube creme brulee for dessert. We shared everything and it was honestly all so good. The wontons were a little spicy for me, but my friend loved them. The dumplings were adorable and tasty! I really loved both the gailan and adobo. The Ube creme brulee was smooth with a lovely sweet crunch. Unfortunately, the beancurd skin dumplings that I was looking forward to trying were not available.
The space is incredibly inviting; while we sat inside by the opening, the outside would have also been fun! We made a reservation for noon on a Friday, and although it wasn’t necessary, it was very easy and probably best during busier times. The staff was kind and helpful in explaining everything. It is on the pricier side, but well worth the visit. I personally think the service charge instead of tipping is wonderful; I enjoy supporting places with livable wages.
Will definitely go back!

Pros: Vegan dim sum, So many good options, Friendly staff
