What can I say except GO THERE! Yes its similar to Chans in NJ, but having been to both I choose Jade Island - even though its not that easy to get to, but also not so bad a drive. We had an excellent experience there, the drinks kicked ass and the food was great. I will be posting LOTS of pics soon but to sum it up:
JOHNNY - worker / manger rocks!!! not only did he buy us a round of drinks on the house, but he let us buy NEW mugs and broke out some OLD school mugs - mostly Orchids but still New Old Stock stuff - wrapped em up and Gave us the REAL house menu to walk with!!!! We went on a Tuesday Night and it was slow except for the people doing pick up orders, so I think that helped. But we asked to be able to take pictures and that opened the door to fun and Ohana that still exists. One note the Mapquest directions are little confusing and until Nov 2006 the Gothels bridge from NJ to Staten Island is closed after 9:30pm Mon - Thursday - so keep that in mind. It is in the same mall (for the past 34 years) and there is a Pathmark and Kmart in there too. The road off of Richmond ave is Independence to pull into the parking lot coming down Richmond Ave. - (after you get off Victory to Richmond).
Pics coming soon - Humma if want them for any of your sites you are welcome to them!
