The pork fried rice is great, as is the sesame chicken and tangerine chicken. If I had to complain about anything, I miss the little satchel of crunchy fried wontons strips they used to include, but honestly.... That's more of a ME problem and I probably don't need it.

Surprising combination of bargain basement lunch specials pricing, big portions, respectable…read morequality, and friendly service. Clean, well-kept place. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on the combo): Seven large pieces, very high meat-to-batter ratio, good crispness on some, not so crisp on others, and a mild "blush" take on the sweet and sour sauce. Cherries and pineapples included. Interestingly served on its own plate, separate from the rice and appetizer, and there was enough there that it could pass as a full order at some places. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo, served in its own bowl ): Not listed as one of the options, but they accommodated me, and it came out surprisingly well-- sort of a cross between Yang Chow fried rice and old school pork fried rice. The pork was fresh and tender; the egg prominent. Very enjoyable even though I was hoping for old school style. Egg Roll (on the combo, served on its own plate ): Small, crisp of shell, and crisp and moist inside, with mostly cabbage and pork. Decent seasoning. Duck Sauce: A cross between standard applesauce-based duck sauce and the dreaded orange packets. Perhaps a little too close to the latter. Overall, an impressive spread for a mere $10.95. The 4 stars take value into account.

I ordered steamed chicken and broccoli, an egg roll and I asked for 10 packets of soy sauce and 2 packets of duck sauce. When it arrived they charged me $1.00 for the soy sauce and $0.95 for 2 duck sauces. When I opened the bag it was just chicken and broccoli. They did not include white rice. I called them back and explained that you forgot the rice. She said that's extra. I explained that I never had chicken and broccoli arrive with no white rice.

The food is delicious, fresh, and the place is clean and beautiful - a really nice restaurant.

Hot and Sour Soup was not as expected. It was just a peppery soup with no hint of sourness. A Vegetable Spring Roll had distinct notes of Black Licorice (?!?). Don't ask me how or why but it wasn't very appealing. General Gao Chicken was cloyingly sweet with no spice at all. Mrs. StoneOld enjoyed the Chicken and Broccoli other than the undercooked Broccoli. Overall, the food is not my favorite and we'll probably not be going back.

The two of us started with a fried gyoza (always good), followed by yue yang spicy beef and fish filet in garlic sauce. The beef was wonderfully spicy, the fish fresh and tasty -- both new items on the Jade menu. Our inquiries to Sally about the sushi offerings landed us an unexpected treat: a sample of Carpaccio in garlic basil sauce, a superb offering of three delightful mouthfuls of japanese sublety laced with European flavor touches.

he wouldn't hire someone for their afro because it would "scare customers away ". he would always mention that "Spanish people don't tip", he is an owner and will take the workers their hard earned tip money and make them split it with them. he calls the workers rude names and would embarrass them to the chefs. read more

I always get my beef lo-mein with extra onions, sprouts and, mushrooms and just a little spicy Don't forget about delivery If you're treating yourself to Chinese food you might as well stay home and let them bring it to you piping hot. They're fearless underappreciated drivers work in all weather: rain, snow sleet & HURRICANES maybe not hurricanes HAHAHA... But they will most definitely deliver during blizzards Jade 3 ( A Foodie Paradise) is open until 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with the exception of Tuesday their day off. On Friday and Saturday they're open until half past 10:00 p.m. Please place your orders by a half hour prior to closing. Their delivery drivers are awesome. I live on the outskirts of Amesbury and they always get my order to me in about 20 minutes. They have a wide delivery area. They deliver to all of Amesbury, Salisbury, Seabrook NH, Newburyport, Newton NH, Byfield , West Newbury and a portion of Haverhill. Make sure to say "Hello " to the Jades full-time driver Lenny, he's been there for years and he knows the roads inside and out. They have the lowest delivery charge in town, only $2 for Amesbury customers. Domino's Pizza charges $5 for delivery and their Pizza tastes like cardboard. Make sure to the tip your driver between 15 and 20%. The delivery drivers use their own vehicle and are responsible for all related auto expenses. If you are picking up a take-out order, make sure to say "Hello" to Wendy the General Manager. You always greet you with a smile. When you walk-in you can really impress the crew by saying "dah-jee-ah-how" (大家好) This means "Hello Everyone!" in Mandarin. Next time you're craving some stir fried goodness call the Jade 3 at : (978) 388-0500 or better yet, place an online order on their web page at: http://www.jade3amesbury.com/

She complained that the tip wasn't high enough, but we still have to come all the way out to the car to the street to pick up the food. I told her I tipped for delivery and she's not even getting onto the porch. Then tonight I order a good $65-$70 worth of food. I miss their phone call and instead of knocking on my door they just leave and bring my food back to the restaurant and then when I called back, they get mad at me. Had to wait another 20 minutes to get my food. I called the restaurant to speak to somebody and they said a manager would call me back. No call back.
