I like the old school Chinese restaurant vibe with the dim sum carts. Service was basic which is what you would expect at these kinds of places.Īt Jade Garden, you’ll get a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

However, it seemed like there were slowly more and more people arriving.

I took advantage of the deal and did a day trip down to Seattle with my mom.
So in today’s flashback Friday post I’m going to share with you my visit to Jade Garden in Seattle.īack in 2012, Bolt Bus had just launched service from Vancouver to Seattle and were offering fares for $1.
