Celebrate spring with tasty Chinese cuisine

Steamed Salmon Filet with the chef’s special black bean sauce ($30.95 for 1 pound)

As the plumeria trees begin to blossom and schools break for spring, Jade Dynasty Seafood Restaurant welcomes families and friends to enter its iconic Ala Moana Center doorway and gather around the table for gourmet Asian-inspired dishes.

Jade Dynasty’s China-trained chefs invite guests to tantalize their taste buds with the eatery’s popular dim sum menu (dishes start at $3.15), which is served 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.

Main menu options are served all day and made to share among the table — with new offerings starting this month.

Moo Shu Pork ($15.95) is inspired by the yellow blossoms of the osmanthus tree. The dish, which originated in northern China, features juicy pork and fresh vegetables doused in a savory, golden sauce.

Steamed Salmon Filet with the chef’s special black bean sauce ($30.95 for 1 pound) is an enticing and economical entree showcasing Jade Dynasty’s skill in preparing seafood.

Sautéed Seafood with curry sauce in a hot pot ($22.95) is another new menu option. This dish, as appealing to the eye as it is to the taste buds, features a delicious medley of rich curry and fresh seafood.

The 8,000-square-foot restaurant offers an elegant ambiance that complements its delectable cuisine comparable to what diners would find in China.

Jade Dynasty can accommodate parties of up to 300 guests, and has a 32-foot stage, a 10-foot projector and an LED monitor for live broadcasting.

Smaller groups can dine in the popular private rooms, which flexibly fit 10-60 people. Call to make a reservation for private rooms at least one day in advance.
