Whole steamed sea bass, striped bass, or black fish; live shrimp that jump out of the tank; fresh Chinese vegetables like pea tendrils and Chinese broccoli. Picking your own fi sh out of the tank is always a fun experience. Daily $5 lunch specials are a bargain.
DRINKS
Beer, wine, and soft drinks
SEATING
A long room with large tables to accommodate a number of large families
AMBIENCE/CLIENTELE
A large Asian clientele; well-lit and clean with an attractive dining room; hardly ever a wait
Extras/Notes
There are many seafood restaurants with live fish tanks in Chinatown. What sets Jumbo apart is the freshness and lightness of the cuisine. And watching the servers chase down shrimp that have escaped from the tank.
