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.

higher prices super small portions on the rice be ready to…read morepay 17-22 bucks per person or more. i order the larger full evening portions not the lunch portions. my go to is still the moo goo gai pan. the food flavor and taste was good. just smaller portions than from other places. and so i need to fire up the rice cooker for a portion before i pick up the order to go. that way i have enough to feed a hungry person. if you are eating 3 to 4 meals per day the portion here will be enough.

There is a small menu of standard fair food. The food is not decoratively presented but is very delicious. I will tell you this much, you will not go away hungry here, so bring your appetite! The hamburgers are pretty awesome. they are grilled on a flat top with a nice sear/crust on the hamburgers. And the burgers are not pre-packaged burgers which makes them that much better. I did have a bit of buyers remorse, I saw some receive the open faced pork tenderloin, and it was literally a plate full of food. it would easily feed two people or eat some now and take the rest of it home for a second meal. This in and of itself will make me want to come back for this entree. After you eat, jump across the street and amble on in to the Dutchman's General Store for some shopping. I highly recommend you stop here. We drove 40 minutes here, and I am glad we did.
