The world is indeed a small place! I lived just up the street from China Jade, and it is my all-time-favorite Chinese Restaurant in New England! I remember receiving my AMEX year end summary one year and being shocked by the fact that I'd spent over $5000 in the restaurant in one year. I still go there every time I'm back up in Boston for work, since I usually stay at the Peabody Marriott near where I used to live.

It's a great place, still in business, still owned by the same family, and still serving some of the best drinks in the area. The bar is small and not really tiki at all, but the drinks are authentic enough, and yes, served in original mugs. I love the Scorpion Bowl. The whole place is more Chinese than Chinese/tiki but it's well worth a trip just for the boneless ribs!

I like the food and drinks better than either the Kowloon or the Bali Hai, both of which are within a stone's throw. However, for the tiki purist, either of these latter are must-see places north of Boston.

Good to find another North Shore resident relocated to FL here on TC!

Go Tanners!
