Jade's Corner Deli LLC — Restaurant in Taylorsville

I always get suspicious when I see nothing but 5 star reviews, but after going here it makes perfect sense. The service was lovely, and the restaurant interior is very cute and cozy. The family that operates the business are wonderful people; one of those places you just really want to see thrive. But of course we all care about food, right?

I'm happy to report that this was some of the best food I've ever had. I got one of their temporary specials, a crab soup, and my wife got the pork noodles. Both were incredibly flavorful, with a fun and complex blend of tastes, and textures that were flawless. We also tried some of their premium drinks. The mango sugarcane drink was absolutely fantastic, with juicy chunks of pureed mango in a sweet-but-not-too-sweet nectar made from pressed sugarcane. My wife's jackfruit smoothie was complex in flavor and delightful, though both of us agreed the sugarcane was the true star.

While the drinks were a little more expensive than what we'll probably want to spend on a regular basis, the entrees were downright affordable, which is awesome because we plan on coming back here...

Wonton soup with added noodles Shrimp in broth is big peeled tail on -adds to the well rounded flavour. No strong fishy taste in soup.

Pork belly Bang Hoi Something different for Vietnamese places , fresh and crispy skin has a nice texture and is a big dish with better presentation than most vermicelli bowls. It was eaten as a lettuce wrap for added crunch.

Fried tofu Light oil and light breading good appetizer option I didn't expect to see on the menu and was very pleasantly surprised I thought it was fitting for tonight's meal.

M3XL Banh Khot Low carb option, fresh greens and crunchy daikon and carrot pickles. Was a good appetizer shared amongst our group.

M4 Salmon filet Crispy skin good color of pink Larger portion of rice it was the only rice dish ordered

Drinks Mango Drank 1/4 with meal tastes like real mango.

Sour plum drink authentic flavor of sour plum, strong in flavor.

Sugar cane Refreshing and fresh sugar cane makes each cup a unique taste.

Passion fruit soda Finished the drink with the meal Fresh passion fruit juice with...

The food was incredible, I was left wanting just a touch more meat or at least more evenly spread on my Banh Mi. But with the dessert of coconut milk and fruit with jello cubes it was filling and incredibly satisfying. The flavors were unmatched I would very highly recommend this place for banh mi and selection of dessert and there is so much else here to explore, like the wall of plants gathering sunlight in the east side window, or the small Asian foods market strewn around the main cafe. The duck hanging in the warmer as I walked in was a bit startling, but I also knew thesecond I saw it that the food would be great. For those seeking a beverage only ecpetience yhere is a coffee and tea bar of sorts which I didn't dive into yet, but will surely be back to emjou...
