Jade Garden was honestly one of the worst takeout experiences I've had in a long time. The shrimp and broccoli literally had three shrimp in the entire container -- that's not an exaggeration. For the price they're charging, that's ridiculous. For one shrimp and broccoli, a small soup, two egg rolls, and a chicken and broccoli combo, the total came out to $45, which is completely overpriced for the portion size and quality. Nothing tasted special, and the value just isn't there at all. Definitely not worth the money. Won't be coming back. read more

Chifa Jade Garden - 3 shrimps in my order wow - Chinese Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

The only place around that serves Chifa like what you'd have in Peru. The chaufa is always great and their wantans fritos are addictive! The place is split in two and pretty spacious but tends to be packed so be ready for a wait. It's less welcoming than other Peruvian restaurants and if you're not used to that (non-American restaurants) it might feel like they're rude so beware if you bring any non-latinos. I keep coming back every once in a while because the food makes it worth it. read more

We basically sat ourselves down when we arrived. The service barely spoke to us. She took our order and was gone. We had to ask for drinks AND get it ourselves from the fridge. No sauces are provided. The food was ok. To be honest there are so many Peruvian restaurants around I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We haven't had Jade's in a few years. We ordered take out. The experience from placing my order over the phone to pick up was great! The food is still as good as I remember it from my childhood days! Delicious! read more

Disappointed with the food, it truly will give you a stomach ache. I order a lo main meal and it was garbage.

Comida horrible. Servicio horrible. No vale la pena. El fried wonton muy poca carne. El peor arroz chaufa q he probado. Lomo saltado 100% no peruano. Parece de otro país. read more

Quick and good service. they take cards. the seafood chaufa was good, but it wasnt impressive. i feel it could have had more flavor. however, the serving for a small was HUGE. egg drop soup was also a huge serving and it was okay. the chicha morada was good. my friend loved her lomo soltado. would come back and try more peruvian based dishes versus chinese. read more

This restaurant makes the WORST Peruvian food I have ever eaten! My favorite cuisine is Peruvian, I cook all the food from there, tried many good places in Qweens,Manhattan and long islands,so we took a road trip to this place. First there is hard to find parking. Than the dingy restaurant with dirty tables and sticky salt/paper and condiments bottles. The menu is small print,hard to read and confusing silly pictures on it. We ordered fried calamari,that was a most edible thing, fried rice made with old looking leftover rice very bland, Wonton soup with not so fresh tasting thin sliced beef and chicken meat,the wonton was ok in it, Chap Suey or pasta dish was a sloppy mess made with cheap,food colored yellow pasta,and a meat looked like cat food from the can. We had to send it back! The Chicha Morada drink was diluted, flavorless sour concoction. Not recommended,and never go back to that place! read more

Chifa Jade Garden - Pasta dish,the meat like cat food out of the can With cheap quality,yellow colored pasta. - Chinese Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Quality has gone down ALOT. This is nothing more than a flavorless watered down Chinese food place . Not sure what's going on here but I've ordered 3 times and either the food is super oily, the noodles are undercooked or over cooked, and the food has no flavor. read more

My family has been coming to Jade Garden for years. its a Chinese Peruvian restaurant. We really enjoy the food and the food always comes out fast. We always order a bunch of plates & share family style. At times we come in a big group of 15 with no reservations and they accommodate to us with no issues. My favorite dishes are: wonton soup, kam lu wantan, Tallarin especial, Arroz Chaufa, and Pollo 5 Sabores Pros: They do accept credit cards now and the food is very affordable Only con is that it can be difficult to find parking. read more

Ok guys, this is your diner, dives, and in type of place. It's good eats, but unfortunately you have to experience new dishes and explore to maximize experience here. I would go family style, order a few dishes to eat and share amongst your party. My go to is arroz chaufa, tallarin salteado, pollo cinco sabores, tortilla de camaron, and chancho de Tamarindo. I've also done soup medleys, fuchi fu, wonton, etc.. if you go and choose the same thing over and over, you are missing out. Explore your taste buds will thank you, provechos!! read more

Authentic Peruvian cuisine! A Chinese influence! The chaufa rules and eaten elsewhere is nowhere near this one ! The crispy chicken, the sauces are a culinary surprise for those who have never tried Peruvian food ! Kudos chefs ! Great service too ! read more

What the hell happened to the lomein???? They used to make the best lomein. It was simple and flavorful, and they gave you a lot. But they changed it. It's completely different, and it's frigging awful now!!! It's so oily, and the noodles are just plain disgusting! Please, go back to the way you used to make it. I gave them 2 stars because they still make amazing soups. But that lomein, I swear I wouldn't give it to my dog. read more

Service is always great, the staff is friendly and very attentive, ambiance is not up to date but it will do, they can take large party groups. The food is phenomenal for being a Peruvian Chinese Cuisine Restaurant. Their chaufa is the best around. Try the Chancho con Tamarindo too. read more

Growing up i used to dine in here a lot with my family but my recent visit wasn't great. Immediately after i walked in the staff were gathered around a table in the middle of the dining area portioning dumplings and working with raw meat. I brushed it off but the service was absolutely terrible. The waitress was rude and was not attentive at all. I had to call out for two different people for the check because my original waitress was too busy portioning dumplings the next table over. The workers there made me and my family feel very unwelcome. The food has definitely gone down in quality unfortunately. I hope this place has a comeback because it does have some great roots and their wonton soup was truly one of a kind. If you're looking to try it would recommend the take out option. read more

This is probably the best Chinese (Chifa) Peruvian restaurant in New Jersey. Food is very satisfying. Always busy. Prices are reasonable.

Some of the best Peruvian chifa I ever had! Definitely a hole in the wall kinda place. Portions are huge so bring an appetite and a friend. Recommend the combination! read more

This still seems more like a glorified Chinese takeout joint than anything. Sure there are some distinctly Peruvian things on the menu, like lomo saltado, but they didn't even have aji sauce! I think it was recently expanded, but it still reminds me of a school cafeteria. Tried the tallarin saltado, arroz chaufa, Jade Garden house special wonton soup, and lomo saltado. They were pretty average. Tallarin saltado was essentially house special lo mein at any Chinese takeout joint, arroz chaufa was yeung chow fried rice, and the house special wonton soup was wonton soup with some egg noodles, pork, and duck. Lomo saltado was the only thing we ordered that you couldn't find at an average Chinese takeout place. It's also pretty expensive for what you're getting. read more

This place isn't pretty, you don't come here for ambience. There aren't too many Peruvian-Chinese (chifa) spots around. Portions are decent, service is quick. Come with a few people so you can try multiple dishes. Parking can be a nightmare. Vegetarian options available. If you're looking for that old school fried rice flavor that's hard to find nowadays, this place is it. read more

By far the best and most authentic Peruvian Chinese "Chifa" you'll probably find in all of New Jersey. So much of the food taste like the kind you would get in Lima Perú. I have a literally been coming here since I was a little kid the establishment has been there for over 30 years family owned very good! read more

Always order the wonton soup and fried wontons. Super good quality ingredients. Big portions.

I've been going here for my whole life haven't eaten inside since I was like 8yo. But this place has such good Chinese/Peruvian food. We always order a duck dish whether duck fried rice or any other combo. I most definitely recommend it here. Kinda rough area but great experience inside. Good portions and good counter service. read more

Wasn't a bad place, but for a local restaurant that says it has Peruvian Chinese food, it wasn't phenomenal. I got the stir-fried noodles. They were ok but they were very greasy. I got to try some of their pork ribs, and those were good. They ran out of chicha, was kind of disappointed about that. Place seems relatively clean. Good price for 4 people, about 40 bucks. The people who work in this establishment seemed nice. Not bad. Update: Got to try Lucuma ice cream and it was very authentic and tasty. read more

This place has by far the greatest peruvian/chinese food I have ever tasted in my time on earth. The combinado and wonton are always amazing and would HIGHLY recommend to try it out. The workers are always helpful and positive and are another reason I'd give it 5 stars! read more

I don't usually write negative reviews about places, but I'd be remiss if I didn't for this place because sadly enough, I found the 'Peruvian" cuisine to be missing in all of the dishes we ordered! The spanish menu was traditional in the name of dishes without a doubt but once ordered and after seeing the english menu they brought my husband and son, I was eerily weary of what was coming because that menu read like each typical Chinese menu in Chinese take-outs EVERYWHERE! If I sound frustrated it is because I am. We took the drive to passaic and despite my reluctance because of the restaurants appearance, I decided to give it a try because of all of the yelp review.... ever SO dismayed! Although I am not Peruvian, I love Peruvian food and have a favorite place which is amazing. Now while I get that this is supposed to be a FUSION of the two - Chinese & Peruvian, like I said - It was JUST Chinese! You can't name a dish "Chaufa" and serve House Special fried rice! You can't name a dish "Tallarine saltado" and serve house special LoMein! And you CAN'T serve "Jalea" (seafood mix deep fired) and NOT serve the traditional sauces - Aji Amarillo Sauce and when I ask for it, offer me hellman's mayonnaise packets and creamy italian dressing AND THEN have the nerve to ask me where I've eaten jalea before because its different there....different where? "la comio en Peru? porque aqui es diferente."....No I didn't eat it in Peru, I've had it here in many different restaurants and they've all had the sauce. The ONLY thing latin served with the food was the typical red onions, tomato and cilantro medley with lime juice. This is strictly a Chinese restaurant and there's nothing wrong with being such but you can't be so deceptive! read more

Best Chinese spot! Service is great. Food is amazing. Been going since I was little. I recommend the Wonton Soup The Chicken Fried Rice (Arroz Chaufa) & Chicken Lo Mein. The only problem is parking but you'll manage to find street parking (maybe not) read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! My parents started coming here since I was a little girl. It reminded them of foods from back home in Peru. It isn't the fanciest place inside or out but those kinds of places are always the one that have the best tasting foods. Their prices are also amazing, everyone loves a good deal. Their tallarin frito con pollo (Fried spaghetti with chicken) is the best and also Pescado Mensi (Fish with garlic sauce). I think I have probably had everything in the menu. read more

Great Chinese food better than regular takeout Chinese food you find on every corner.

I used to come here years ago; so this time I invited my family to enjoy some Peruvian Chinese food; I was so disappointed with the food. Greasy and no tasty. The place doesn't look clean either. read more

I've come here several times and by that I mean at least once a month. They present themselves as a "chifa" restaurant which is basically Peruvian/Chinese fusion cuisine but if you compare it to actual chifa restaurants it's not. The food is really good though. A little salty, just as any Chinese food, but the flavor is very consistent. Prices are great if you go with a big family and each person can order different plates and everyone can share because they serve you that much. I haven't try all of their dishes, but their soups, gallina enrollada, pollo tipakay, tellarin saltado, wanton ( of course) Jazmin tea are very tasty. They have expanded and have a second room which only opens on the weekends. It can be crowded but the service is really fast so you can be in and out in 30-40 min. Can't complain about parking because we are always lucky enough to find a sport right outside the restaurant. This place is great for big families with kids. And no, they don't speak Peruvian as someone mentioned it in another review. They speak SPANISH. And yes, it is better to know what you want to order previous to call because they are very busy and don't have time to explain all the dishes. Thankfully someone posted pictures of the menu here on Yelp which always comes in handy. read more

This place is a greasefest and their food has little taste--they rely on the grease to put taste back in, but it doesn't work. I had arroz chaufa here and it was basically unedible. It left me hating arroz chaufa, which I've been eating for 40 years...and then I went to another Peruvian restaurant nearby in Paterson (not a chaufa!) but got the chaufa and was like "Look this is how it's supposed to taste...it's supposed to have taste and not simply dripping grease everywhere!" I do NOT recommend this restaurant. There are much, much better options across Paterson and N. Jersey read more

This is literally the best place for Peruvian Chinese! The food is amazing and the servings are huge! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I love coming to this place. I think it is the best Chifa restaurant in the tristate area. The food is very consistent and it always tastes the same. I love their chicha morada. It is so tasty and rich. The wonton in their wonton soup is delicious. So soft and tender. Their tallarin saltado and arroz chaufa are so good! Every dish here tastes very traditional like food from an authentic chifa (Peruvian/Chinese) restaurant should taste. read more
