After a full day of wine tasting in Napa, we were craving something greasy and comforting haha -- and Jade Garden definitely did the job. It has that classic, old-school authentic Chinese restaurant vibe -- very 90's feel, simple and traditional inside. Nothing trendy or modern, just a solid neighborhood-style spot that focuses on good food. Portions were generous for two people, and the prices were super affordable (especially for Napa!). Definitely a great place to refuel without breaking the bank. Parking is a bit limited -- there's some in the back or you may have to find street parking -- but it's manageable. If you're in Napa and need that post-wine savory fix, this spot hits. read more

Plenty of parking. Clean interior. Food comes out fast. Their lunch specials are so worth it - a side soup, entree, with rice or noodle. Easy and quick lunch spot! read more

Haven't had this place is two decades.... Now I remember why. Ordered a delivery- felt like dim sum- along with orange chicken/cashew shrimp and potstickers- everything is very bland.... No real flavor- yes, there is heat, but no real flavor.... very disappointing. Never again $111 with fees and tip - getting tossed- didn't think it was possible to have meal this bad in Napa read more

I was craving hot and sour soup and they did not disappoint. I do feel like Chinese food recently is getting more expensive but I don't think that's the fault of anyone at this restaurant. This place is your typical run of the average northern California Chinese restaurant. But that's not a bad thing. They don't try to overcomplicate anything and they keep all the basics. They also have some pretty awesome dim sum hidden on their menu so definitely check that out. read more

The food is good if you know what to order. We like the Mushu chicken wrap and any of the wonton soups. These are fail proof. We admittedly have not tried their dim sum because we are wary of places that carry too many specialty items. We usually go to a dim sum restaurant if we want dim sum. So we cannot comment on the dim sum. Sometimes some of the rotating cooks like to add sugar to the sauces so if you're diabetic please beware. We have diabetics in our family and our glucose readings shot through the roof after eating some of their dishes with sauce. This however does not happen every time. The service is good and the prices are quite fair for Napa standards. read more

Small bugs in wonton soup due to not cleaning cabbage properly. I would advise not to eat here. read more

Jade Garden - Small bugs in the Wonton Soup/ - Chinese Near Me - Napa, California

"Comfort Food When I Needed It Most" I wasn't feeling my best, and one of my best friends came through by ordering me a comforting delivery from Jade Garden. She knows my go-to when I'm feeling under the weather: wonton soup. While I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had, it definitely hit the spot when I needed something warm, simple, and soothing. The broth could've used a little more depth and flavor it leaned on the mild side but the inclusion of bok choy was a lovely surprise and gave it that wholesome, homey feel. It wasn't overly salty or heavy, which made it a perfect recovery meal. I also tried the chow mein, and while it wasn't life-changing, it was satisfying and solid. The kind of food that doesn't necessarily make your taste buds sing but feels like a warm hug when you need one. Would I crave it on a random Tuesday night? Maybe not. But if I'm ever feeling under the weather again and need something cozy and reliable, I'd absolutely order from Jade Garden again. Looking forward to trying more items from their menu when I'm back to full strength! read more

Jade Garden - Wonton Soup - Chinese Near Me - Napa, California

This Chinese food restaurant is tucked in with several other restaurants in the area next to hwy 29. It does not look like much from the outside, but it does have a nice clean interior. They definitely do a fair amount of to go business, but we decided to dine in. They do have a reasonably priced lunch menu, but they do have three family dinner choices, which can save you some money. We decided on the beef and broccoli, fried vegetable rice, and tofu dinners. The broccoli was definitely fresh and cooked al dente. Then it went downhill, the tofu was unpleasantly hard and rubbery which we left uneaten. We did point it out, but it was not removed from the bill. I love hot and sour soup, but theirs is not the best. The vegetable fried rice was just OK. I thought it was odd that they would just give you a fork without a knife and one small napkin. We asked for some chili sauce because it needed a little spice. Not the best, but not the worst Chinese I've ever had. Overall, for almost $50 for 2 with no drinks or tip, seems overpriced and not such a great value. Service was somewhat attentive. I personally would not visit this place again. Informative photos included. read more

Food was pretty mediocre. We didn't even want to take home the leftovers we ordered some dim sum, which came about five minutes after we completed our phone, which was just OK and our general chicken, which was not good every time the phone would ring super loud would be and one of the employees brought in their cute little girl who was hanging out in the restaurant that was extremely engaging, but after a while, it seems like she should be watched because we was trying to have a conversation during lunch and she wanted attention from us. read more

sorry- this place has gone down hill. just got some food that was tasteless and mediocre at best. I tossed most of it out. It used to be pretty good. read more

A few friends were telling me about Jade Garden so I thought I would give it a try. The restaurant was nice inside and the food was delicious. The Sesame Chicken is a popular dishes and definitely worth ordering because the sauce was incredible. The Walnut Honey Shrimp is another popular dish and it's made a little different than I expected but very tasty. read more

Great food with consistency and care. To-go portions are not huge, but are reasonably priced and of high quality. This is our go-to Chinese food when at home in Sonoma: definitely worth the drive! We will be back soon :) read more

Jade Garden is our new go-to spot for Chinese food in Napa. I love that they offer dim sum all day, except for between 2:30 and 4:30. We ordered the shrimp and crab dumplings, barbecue pork bun and the custard buns off of the dim sum menu. All were delicious! We also split a large wonton soup, barbecue pork fried rice and mushu shrimp. It was a lot of food and we had two days worth of leftovers, but it was great getting to try a variety of items. The wonton soup was honestly a surprise favorite. 10/10. The broth was flavorful without being too salty and the wontons were delicious! If I were coming here and ordering just for one meal (and no leftovers), I'd probably be full with just the soup and a few dim sum items. The pricing is also super reasonable. read more

Jade Garden - I got a double fortune cookie! - Chinese Near Me - Napa, California

Everything I've had is so delicious! My go-to is the lemon chicken, and the pork fried rice is the best I've had anywhere.

The food was delicious the staff was so accommodating! We didn't have to wait long at all!

As others have mentioned, this restaurant is under new management and the food is now AWESOME! The family that operates the business is super sweet and the whole menu is wonderful. It seems so unfortunate they have to slowly raise their rating based on the old place. I hope word gets out because this is the best Chinese food in Napa now, hands down!! read more

The best Chinese Food in Napa. With the kindest family running the place! Definitely recommend!

Very nice family operating this place. We are vegetarians and I order the tofu with vegetables and brown sauce. They make it very well. Also, prices are excellent. read more

The lunch special is extremely small plate with steamed white rice, not fried rice. First Chinese food place that does not have fried rice on the lunch special. The menu doesn't even say what comes with the lunch special read more

Great food at a reasonable price...I've ordered twice now and both times were great...delivery drivers were polite quick and friendly....thank you and I will continue to order from jade gardens.. read more

Ordered Delivery thru Grubhub. The food was terrible! It arrived on time and was at the proper temperature but that's all the positive I can say about this order. The fried chicken wings were absolutely the worst we have ever had . . . completely soggy . . . no crunch at all . . . and tons of coating which was doughy and inedible. The shrimp appetizer would have been OK if it had had more shrimp. Again way too much coating. Our entree, the house chowmein, had no flavor. It was just a bunch of noodles in a tasteless sauce. Did have substantial bits of various meat in it, but the meat was so tasteless we couldn't differentiate between the chicken and the pork. We figured out that the darker bits were the beef. Even the 3 small shrimp had no shrimp flavor. I would not recommend this place to anyone. To call the food mediocre would be an undeserved complement. My advice . . . try some place else for Chinese food. The fortune cookies were good, though. read more

Ordered the cashew chicken lunch special for takeout. It just wasn't good. There was barely any actual chicken in the meal. It was mostly white rice and zucchini. The selection of Chinese restaurants in Napa is not huge, but others are definitely better than this one. read more

I've been there for lunch and dinner. Their lunch specials are a great deal. Dinner prices are comparable to other places. The food is fresh, fried items are crisp and not over sauced. read more

Went there for lunch. Good price for lunch special especially for Napa. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. Not greasy at all and hooked it up. They were not skimpy. Lunch special came with hot and sour soup but did not have the option for Chowmein only white rice. read more

Food was too sweet and it didn't taste like Mongolian beef at all. It's my favorite dish. Please don't go there. The cook needs lessons

The food was fabulous. When you walk in it might not look like much but give it a chance. Staff were friendly. Price and portions were fair.

Food 8/10 food The food is flavorful and I enjoyed the wonton soup immensely. The problem is the portion size for the premium price. Look at my pictures and use the soy sauce packet as reference and you can see how small the dim sum is and the meat fillings. Again the flavor is good, the portions is small. Service not rated (mobile order) Ambiance not rated (mobile order) More food stuff at vin.foodjournal read more

Once again, another so-so Chinese restaurant in Napa. Like just about all the other Chinese restaurants in Napa, the food is not terrible. By which I mean it's not terribly bad, but it's also not terribly good. We had tried this restaurant before and found it to be pretty average. Since it was under new ownership, we decided to try it again. We ordered takeout. Egg rolls, potstickers, Mongolian Beef, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, Kung Pao Prawns, and a chicken dish. Plus rice, which was probably the best thing we ordered. I had been warned that a lot of the sauces were sweet. Ok, if I order Orange Chicken or Lemon Chicken or Sweet and Sour Pork, I expect a little sweetness. I don't expect the Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce to be sweet. Especially when I asked and was told it's not sweet. The other three dishes were ok. I would say at the level of a shopping mall food court. In Ohio. The egg rolls were also ok. The potstickers were not great: the dough was too thick. The service was pleasant. The bill, without any drinks and before a tip, came to just under $100. Definitely not worth the price. I will continue to hope that, someday, Napa will once again have a good Chinese restaurant. read more

Owner was stressed out and rude during our first visit. Food was decent, so don't blame the cook. I would rate zero stars, but that is not allowed... read more

Food is mediocre at best, service passive, ambiance simple. I know Chinese food in the States is adapted to the American palate, but this food is simply not tasty, despite the other reviews. My Chinese friends in Napa chuckled that I even went read more

Been here multiple times. Always delicious!!!! Love their hot and sour soup and mushu pork. NOTHING IS BAD. Family owned and friendly. High marks. read more

New owners really let this place slide into the worst representation of Jade Garden. Poor quality, poor flavor, incorrect items. How many bad things can I say about this place. Terrible all around. They even put huge chili peppers in the orange chicken which was ordered for my small children, to the lady who's small child was just sitting there on a tablet. I mean come on. read more

I got the Hot and Sour soup along with Beef and Green Beans, the ingredients were fresh, however everything was almost inedible due to how sweet it was. I am not being hyper critical, and my expectations were set considering it's suburban Chinese establishment, but it was pretty bad. I won't be going back. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of Chinese food but our friends wanted to go here on Christmas Eve. It was mobbed with people but we had a nice table for our large group and really friendly service with fair caveats about how busy they were. I enjoyed the sesame balls, green beans and chow fun. Next time I would probably get take out but I would go back for sure. It was quite reasonably priced too. read more

On a cold day, chicken soup for lunch is a perfect meal. Over all the dish is ok. The veggies were not over cooked. Noodles soft but it lacks the taste. Maybe it's just me, but it didn't really have enough flavor. The broth was a little lacking. Next time I come back, I will stick with the lunch special. It looks like this is what most people order. Service is good. Attentive owners. read more

Not fancy. Just consistently good. Pork fried rice is a fav. Lovely family owned local business. Very clean.

We bought take out for a Birthday dinner and we were very disappointed. The order was incorrect and I'm not sure what they tried to substitute for Mongolian Beef, but it was more like a dumpling that was deep friend to look like....maybe orange chicken? It was completely doughy and for $15 per dish, a truly bad experience. We were very loyal customers for years but the last two times (Nov and Dec 2024) something is wrong. The Hot and Sour soup was so sweet the last time we bought (in November) or again, they mixed up order. Sorry Jade Garden, no more tries. read more

My son and I went there for lunch in Napa on the way to Sonoma, it was really good. Would definitely recommend.
