Jade House Chinese Restaurant in Pittsburg, California

Jade House is a tiny little Chinese restaurant in Pittsburg, California. It is located at 2931-L Harbor Street, about a block south of Leland Road. There is a video store nearby and a McDonald's across the street.

To Go or Dine In

Jade House has about eight tables inside the restaurant but you will not see many people dine-in there. The vast majority of customers phone in their order or order their meals to go from inside the restaurant. Some people dine inside but this is a rarity and the restaurant is not set up like a normal sit-down restaurant with waiters, servers and all that. It is mostly a place where you place an order and take it to go.

Because of the restaurant's popularity, you will often see many people sitting down at the tables but virtually all of them are waiting for their orders so they can take them home. It is highly recommended that you grab some of their paper menus on your first visit and then call in your orders and pick them up on your next visits. If you don't call in your order at rush time, you could end up waiting 45 minutes to an hour inside the restaurant because it gets so very busy.

Menu Choices

The current menu has more 160 different menu items so there is really something for everyone. The menu is divided into sections like Pork, Poultry, Beef, Seafood and Egg Foo Young. Rice plates and chow mein plates are also available. Many items are classified as spicy. There are so many choices that you will never be limited in what you want to have for dinner. If you have any Asian family members, they will be happy to have so many choices.

Cooking Noise

The menu items are cooked right behind the main counter on the left so it can get noisy sometimes. This is part of the experience so just know this before you go.
