Jade Fountain Café — Restaurant in Sacramento

Our friend introduced us to this cafe. She bought peking spare ribs for me and I was hooked! So, when we were in Sacramento area, we visited Jade Fountain Cafe. We went around lunch time (1pm) and seated immediately. The restaurant is in a small complex with some parking spots at the front.

Chicken with salted fish fried rice: the first one to arrive (about 10 mins after ordering). The portion was pretty generous. It had lots of salted fish & chicken pieces. It was good.

Peking spare ribs: our FAVE! The portion was generous (big pieces of spare ribs). The sauce was tangy & sweet (similar to sweet & sour pork chop but a tad sweeter). The spare ribs were crispy yet the meat was tender. We would order this every time we visited the restaurant!

Overall, good food & portion for the price. We will definitely come back to try...

I've been here several times. I usually order the sole, I believe, swimming in the ginger, shallot, and soy sauce. Love the crispy fish!

Anyway, I had the porridge with duck and mushrooms. I think it's gonna' be my go to for porridge for now on. It's supposed to be bland, but with all the duck slivers, it made it better for me. As the picture shows, I like it with Siracha and a few drops of soy sauce.

I also ordered the shrimp and eggplant hot plate.. it was delicious, on the sweet side, had large chunks of eggplants and tofu, and a good number of shrimp. Watch out, the metal bowl is hot! But it kept the food hot for a longer time.

Lastly, I truly appreciate the FREE hot tea as it is not something you get too often these...

This has been my husband's favorite restaurant since his childhood. It was recently renovated and now has a chic, yet comfortable vibe. Our favorite dishes are the General's Chicken and Green Beans with Shredded Pork. By the way, their fortune cookies truly tell the future! Whenever we have an important decision to make, we make sure to go to Jade Fountain and ask the fortune cookie- and they always apply to our situation! Right after my husband asked my parents for permission to ask me to marry him, my cookie said "A happy event is in your future if you say yes." :) They have also given good advice about career decisions and even predicted us winning a trip to Hawaii. If you eat here, don't forget your cookie. It could change...
