I need to try ordering off the menu next time!

The crab Rangoon's were AMAZING…read more The only woman working in there though seemed very angry. I got chicken and broccoli and found it lacked any flavor and seemed watered down. The broccoli and carrots definitely came a frozen bag which is fine by me... if it has flavor. Definitely seems safe though. I'd go again especially for their crab rangoons. They're not the ones that are too hard and have a really good amount of filling

In a change from a year ago, it's just white rice and no egg roll included with this dish. The Mongolian beef wasn't as flavorful as we remembered it. The portion was large and we were able to bring home quite a bit. Adding soy sauce did add flavor to it. The egg rolls were good. I love their hot mustard. This must be a trend in Chinese restaurants, but you can no longer get a glass of water. You have to buy a bottle. Seems a little strange. The people were pleasant

1 star because zero isn't an option…read more I didn't know Jade Palace was running a social experiment on how little food you can serve for $34 before someone calls the health department, but here we are. First off, I've been to plenty of Chinese spots in my life, and even the hole-in-the-wall places will heap you up like they're trying to feed a football team. Not here. These folks handed me what can only be described as a pup cup of rice. Like literally, I could've ordered a Starbucks dog treat and come out with more carbs. Then came the "egg rolls." Spoiler: they weren't egg rolls. They were limp, barely warmed-up spring rolls stuffed with sadness. Two of them. I ordered egg rolls and ended up with appetizers straight out of a gas station freezer section. Uncooked on the inside too--crunchy outside, still questioning life on the inside. Beautiful. Now let's talk about the chicken and broccoli. Usually this dish comes swimming in sauce--like the kind you actually want to drown your rice in. Instead, I got a dry broccoli funeral with a few strips of chicken sprinkled on top. No juice. No flavor. Just vibes. Honestly, if my Tupperware lid had more moisture from condensation than my meal, something went terribly wrong in the kitchen. $34 for this? Jade Palace, y'all should be arrested for armed robbery with chopsticks. At this point, I'm convinced the chef just saw me walk in and thought, "Let's see how far we can push this guy before he calls the health department." Well congratulations, I'm one step away from dialing. If you're into overpriced rabbit portions, mystery eggroll-spring-roll hybrids, and flavorless broccoli fitness bowls, Jade Palace is the spot for you. If you actually like Chinese food? Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else--even Panda Express would be fine dining compared to this nonsense.

I went to this restaurant for a work lunch while traveling as was happy with the choice. In the middle of the 4 block downtown Knoxville was a simple sign saying Hong Kong Chinese. Nothing fancy on the outside and the inside was the typical purple and green with paintings and a few gold statues. Good selection of choices at the buffet, but I went with my norm white rice and General Tso Chicken. The rice was extra sticky, just the way I like it, and the Generals was spicy. I also had some of the cream cheese wontons and they were perfect. I cant give this place a better ranking because I always compare Chinese places to one back in my college town and frankly none have come close from becoming the favorite. Overall good food and a good little find on a business trip.

I went just before 8 pm on a Thursday night and was the only dine-in customer. There were some people standing outside talking, but other than a couple of carry-out customers there weren't many people there. The seating area was immaculate and they let me sit wherever I wanted. The server brought me a menu immediately. I ordered Mongolian beef. Meals come with rice, soup, and a spring roll. I ordered the egg drop soup and friend rice. The soup and spring roll came out almost immediately. I noticed that the soup wasn't just egg. There were actually pieces of carrots and celery in it, and it wasn't too salty like a lot of restaurant soups are. The spring roll had a crisp, flaky crust. I was so glad it wasn't soggy with oil. The main dish came out before I could finish my soup and before I could even touch the spring roll. The beef had a good flavor, and best of all it was not drowning in oil or some kind of sauce. I appreciated the food and the good service. I plan to come back soon and bring some more people with me.
