Yeah, Chinese Restaurants are a dime a dozen and Billerica is no exception. There are many...but the one that stands out is Jade Pacific. Their Chinese food is always incredibly addictive, fresh and hot. Their service is incredibly fast...so fast, that you would think there are Psychics working there that already know what you want when you sit down in their dining room, bar or call for takeout. Luncheon Special #22: A very typical, but great Luncheon Specialty...Chicken Fingers, Pork Fried Rice, Boneless Spare Ribs and some Crab Rangoon. Heaping portions...you won't be eating the whole thing. Try the Hot Oil with the Rice! read more

Hahaha good lord. I can't believe people have actually reviewed the good old Jade. I'll make this short. This is a place that my friends and I will hit up if we're going out in the area for a couple reasons. 1-It's usually quiet and the seats are very plush. 2-The food is greasy as hell and great late at night. 3-If you have 15 dollars in your pocket and a decent ID, you can walk out of that place tanked. Despite the three drink MAX, the 5 dollar cocktail menu consists of 700 calorie drinks with about 4 ounces of booze and delicious exotic juices. Alright, maybe it's just shitty canned pineapple juice. But fuck it. I'm very fond of the Jade. read more

The outside of their menu promises that they will "add the utmost enjoyment to your meal". I would have enjoyed a beer with my meal, but the server accused me of already drinking and refused to serve me. Meanwhile, the table next to me was clearly being over served and could barley walk. read more

I have a few colleagues from England and Gardner, MA who when they are in town frequent this establishment. I mention this because the English Chaps are convinced this is "Chinese Food Shangra La"... I was skeptical at first because I am NOT a Chinese food fan inside the U.S. When I lived in Hawaii, I became hooked on their fresh approach, with no brown sauces or deep fried everthing dishes. So then I came to the Jade Pacific... As a kid having had Chinese in NY and later in Washington D.C. I found this same style everwhere. Jade Pacific actually has shown me what they are all shooting for! Now my first rule of thumb is don't write a review if you are just going to complain. I don't really want to read about how you were tick'ed off about not having your hind quarters kissed by the staff. If you go here, you will actually be given the kind of service that you just CAN'T complain about. If you do, you probably have a massive hang over, your dog bit you and you just got fired. This restaurant is excellent, with nice comfy booths, and the food is worth driving many a mile to enjoy. I will say they have a pretty good staff too. They make the absolute best knock out Mai Tai's I have EVER had. If you want a drink that after three you will probably not remember the rest of your meal, then this is where you go. However, the staff will CUT YOU OFF at three... I kinda like that... All I can tell you, is if you go there with friends who are funny, and drink Mai Tai's and have lots of food, you will leave with your gut busting and GREAT memories! It is just one of those places. read more

My first time back there for a takeout since new owner very disappointed they even cheated me out of spare ribs in my order the chicken finger bland paid more got less ok well goodbye nice place for drunks to hangout I guess read more

Be prepared to enter a time warp when you walk inside Jade Pacific. This is how I imagine Chinese restaurants looked in the early 1970s. The red, vinyl booths, low lighting, and extensive drink menu takes me back to a time when going out for Chinese food was a more exciting experience. The prices are fair, the portions are enormous, and they even have absinthe. You'll definitely be taking home leftovers. I hear the bar is something and two of my neighbors, who are now engaged, met there. It looks unassuming enough on the outside (more like a white concrete block), but inside lurks an old fashioned dining experience you've got to try. read more

This place is awesome. 'Nuff said. You want to hear more? OK, OK. I've been here now on several occasions, mostly in the lounge, but last night, I got to sit in the dining room. I was very excited. They do here what you'd expect. They make the gasoline-like Polynesian cocktails that you crave after a long day or week at work. The service is a bit surly, but endearing and the staff truly works hard. The food is, well, exactly what you crave after a long day or week at work. I love the murals on the wall, and it's always clean. I'll be back....again, and again, and again. read more

I just got back from lunch at Jade Pacific. I may have to go again to have the experience most of the others have had. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch specials are a true bargain. They are enough for two meals. I will say the food is very fresh except for the hot and sour soup which sucked as it was bitter and lacked in flavor. The kung pao chicken and pork fried rice was really fresh - crisp and bright onions, celery etc. The lichee duck had a lot of potential but came out a bit flat. Again it lacked flavor and was a bit dry in areas but i spruced it up with some soy sauce and chili oil. I might go back there but that would be for the old-school Polynesian drinks and the after-work crowd. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, I only wish it wasn't all the way in Billerica. Though sometime I am thankful it isn't closer to me because then I would have to keep buying bigger pants! My boyfriend doesn't think twice about driving here for the eggrolls alone, that's how good they are. The lunch specials range from $4.50 to $6.50 and are so huge that you will never be able to finish them. I stick with #47: chicken fingers, beef teriyaki and pork lo mein. I have also had dinner here and the portion are as just as big...great pu pu platter and an order of crab rangoon consists of about 16 for like $4! Even better is the scorpion bowl for two that is $10.50, it is really big and you will only need one before you start to feel it. It is definitely strong, but still tastes great! The decor of this place is old fashioned with red vinyl booths and paper placemats. The back-lit waterfall motif covers an entire wall making a tropical splash. There is also a lounge area where the bar is located that is separate from the main dining room. I love it here so much that I suggested it for a Valentine's lunch and my boyfriend's eyes lit up. Why spend $150 on a rushed V-day dinner when you can hang out in Billerica and eat awesome Americanized Chinese food?!?! Apparently others had the same idea because it was crowded when we showed up at 2:30 in the afternoon. There was even a 50th birthday party going on. I can't wait to go back! read more

A full meal plus extras for late night hunger plus yummy mixed drinks for less than fifty bucks! Yup. That would be the Jade. Came here on a mission for something spicy and different. In our quest we drove by here and after short debate had to try it. The decor is very classic 1970s ish Chinese Restaurant which is by no means a bad thing. The staff were super friendly and the food complimented just right. With a massive PuPu Platter, an order of Fried Rice, a Planter's Punch(which at only $5 was a steal and tasty and full of alcohol!) and this massive plate of hot/spicy scallops covered in the chef's sauce. It was amazing. I will be back just to sample other concoctions on the drink and food menu. Not a place to miss if you are in the Billerica/RT 3A area! read more

My Choice for American Chinese food. If you're looking to get your fried food on, then this is one of the better Chinese Restaurants in Billerica. I've come for lunch a few times but mostly end up here for dinner when we can't decide on some place else to go. It's a good stand in and if you go with the lunch/dinner specials you get a lot of food for short money. My favorite dinner special is the "A"; 5 chicken fingers, 3 chicken wings, 2 beef teriyaki sticks and pork fried rice. It's a heaping plate of food and I need to be really hungry to finish. That plate runs just under 10 bucks and fills the void. Service is fine, nothing remarkable and nothing bad to write about. It's all business, take the order, bring the food, bring the bill, adios. read more

Best Chinese food, and strongest drinks anywhere. Staff is always friendly. If you are lucky, they will give you that legendary 4th mai tai. Been coming here for years and will keep coming for years to come. read more

Hands down the best / strongest Mai Tai you'll ever have. There is a balance to that if you can believe it. I'm also fairly sure they are the reason I stopped drinking! The food is decent. The decor is 70's. The people who go here are all drunk townies, but that is honestly the appeal. Oh that and they're the only place open in Billerica past 10 PM. read more

This was the worst food I've ever had at the Jade! Horrible, tasteless! I used to say how they had the best crab rangoon ever, today I literally spit it out. , pork lo mein and fried rice had no flavor. Chic teriyaki was ok. Why do people buy thriving restaurants, then change eveything? I dont get it! We will not be back anytime soon. Horribly disappointed. This was my go to place. I bragged about how good their food was. Now, I wouldn't recommend at all. Come on Jade, you can do way better than that! You Should try cleaning the place up too, I never minded before because the food was so good, but now you're going to need to have a reason to get people in the door! read more

After reading some promising reviews of this place, my family and I decided to stop here while on our way to a wedding. What a gem! Having a lifetime of prior knowledge with authentic Chinese food, I'm happy to say that this restaurant did not disappoint! I had the Singaporean Mai Foon which I couldn't stop eating even though I really wanted to. Their crab ragoon also tasted good and luckily was not as greasy/oily as many other restaurants in the city (also would make a good appetizer after a drink!) I also got to try two drinks which were strong in a good way and worth it for the price! If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be back! read more

I just spent $70 for 3 items and they all were terrible! This place use to be FANTASTIC! I have no idea what happened but DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER. The pork fried rice had absolutely NO flavor. The boneless spareribs were like rubber and again, no flavor. Lastly, the chicken fingers were ALL BATTER and "trifecta" - NO Flavor. Terrible food. read more

I'm from Quincy and I often go into Chinatown. I know my Chinese food. The food at Jade Pacific is really mediocre. Extremely greasy and Americanized. The only reason I give it an extra star is because the drinks are strong. I think you get your money's worth! Also, the descriptions of the drinks are amusing as heck. They are (purposefully?) vague. Definitely give 'em a read. Now, watch how many drinks you order, because you might get the munchies and wind up eating some of that bad Chinese food. read more

Always my go to Chinese restaurant in Billerica for dining in and for take out. Great service - even on New Year's Eve when the world seems to want Chinese food. Lobster sauce is my favorite. read more

I would not give this restaurant even a one star! We have gone to to jade pacific 30 years and the it was great run sold. DO NOT Go TO Another RESTAURANT! They do not know how to run a restaurant. We ordered at 11 am on Xmas eve to pick up at 6 PM. At 6 ok we waited 1 hour then came home and went back at 8 and were told they have not even started cooking our food. We cancelled our order and owners were relieved we did as they couldn't handle they orders they accepted. I cannot express the disappointment and frustration with this restaurant. We ended up ordering from Bamboo restautant and had our food within an hour . I can't emphasise enough that I would give them a zero read more

Ah, the Jade. The only restaurant I know where they take my drink order before I've even made it to my seat. On a Friday afternoon there's no better place to be. Let me preface by saying this is not a fancy place by any means, so if you're looking for an elegant Asian dining experience, look elsewhere. But, if you're looking for a relaxed, somewhat boisterous atmosphere with strong drinks, good food, and an efficient waitstaff, this is your place. This place has the standard Polynesian cocktail menu that you see at just about any Chinese restaurant. The mai tai, of course, is the ol' standby and they pack quite a punch here. A couple of these and you're good to go. Well, actually, you shouldn't be going anywhere after a couple of these because you're probably well over the legal BAC so I take that back. Sit your butt down and order some food, damn it! Might I suggest the gai poo lo mein? Delicious (although somewhat greasy) lo mein tossed with pretty much anything you can think of, surrounded in a heavenly corona of chicken fingers. Two dishes in one! The ginger chicken is also quite good. The after work crowd strolls in pretty early here. The lounge area was in full swing before 5:00 last night. The lounge has booths around the wall, as well as bar seating, but I prefer to sit at the small tables with oversized orange vinyl chairs. We always come in a fairly large group and the waitstaff is always willing to rearrange furniture to accomodate us. One particular waitress (the same one who takes my drink order before I find a seat) has learned some of our faces and knows to ask "How many?" upon our arrival and immediately begins pushing tables and chairs together. Things can get a little crazy in the lounge, but the waitstaff handles everything (and everyone, including obnoxious drunks of which there was one in our party last night) courteously and efficiently. My only suggestion for this place would be to add a karaoke night. Billerica is lacking in this form of entertainment and this would be the perfect venue. read more

By far the worst Chinese food I've ever had! We ordered a pupu platter for 2 and everything tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in years. The chicken fingers and fried shrimp were burnt, they didn't give us any crab Rangoon and the chicken wings had feathers on them. I'll never go back. read more

DUDE. Let me just start off by saying I absolutely hate Chinese/Polynesian food. But this place was incredible! We got the poo poo platter (100% sure it's spelled "pu pu") consisting of teriyaki, ribs, fried chicken, chicken wings, and some more stuff. The teriyaki was incredible, and the rest of the stuff were much better than the food you get at your neighborhood take out Chinese restaurants. What I really love about the Jade Lounge are the drink specialties. I got a Suffering Bastard, and it was incredible. Very strong drink... had me buzzed after one! They also serve some mean scorpion bowls. The atmosphere is great. Very spacious and a great place to take a date to. It's not overly Asian, but enough to set the tone that you are definitely setting foot in a Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is very fun, relaxed, and casual. Even the waiters here were very friendly and joking around with our table- something one does not normally witness in any Asian restaurant. It's late so I can't write a decent review worth my life, but take it from me: go here ASAP, even if you hate Chinese food. read more

I dined at Jade Pacific because I have seen some very good reviews about it on Yelp. After a few tries and I can see why people were excited about this place. One thing I confirm is that the amount of food they gave you is amazing. $4-$5 and you get yourself a giant lunch and you probably won't need anything else for the rest of the day. In 2009, that price is hard to beat. Quality-wise, I think it is less than perfect. The dishes I've tried were all typical Chinese dishes which I usually used to judge the quality of any Chinese restaurant. In this regard, Jade is not the best I have tried. The fried rice, the spicy beef, and the chicken fingers, etc. Note that it is not that they are not tasty. They are and they come in large quantities. It is just they are not the "genuine" Chinese style, but some "Americanized" Chinese dishes, of which basically every dish was cooked with soy source and cauliflower. So all the dishes taste pretty much the same. Overall, this place is great if you are looking for a budget dinning place or somewhere to satisfy your fried rice cravings. If you are looking for genuine Chinese food adventure, I'd say there are other places in the area that do better in that regard. I don't mind going back Jade again, as people there are friendly and they make you feel comfortable. And maybe, just maybe they have a few dishes that are done right but I haven't tried. read more

Disappointed with new owners. Service is not great... and they lie to you. I used to get delivery with Door dash and they discontinued it. I asked they why and the woman said she will talk to the boss. (Turns out ..she was the boss) She told me to get delivery from her other restaurant in Lowell. .Very vey weird..... so on the search again for good chinese food that isn't too expensive....but tasty read more

Just got this today. HORRIBLE! Guess they have new owners. Don't bother just awful no taste to the fried rice steak is awful chicken wings the same AWFUL! So sad another restaurant gone. My review DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY! read more

Okay so not my first time of the Jade by a long shot. Honestly, I wish I could give them less than a star. When we sat down we were asked for id by our waitress- which is fine. However my Massachusetts state ID was denied and they told me that I had to have a driver's license which doesn't make any sense because a Massachusetts state ID is a valid form of identification. Had to get out my military ID and argue with the manager for 10 minutes because he said that the pictures on the two ID didn't match- and to be fair, my ID picture was about 40 pounds heavier than my military ID picture. Then was treated very rudely by our waitress. We got cut off at two drinks (which has never happened before!) And yes, we were tipsy. At no point were we belligerent or too drunk. We waited 15 -20 min between visits from our server. I am typically not a person to leave bad reviews or not tip well but I felt like our service was beyond what is acceptable, even from a townie Chinese bar. Drinks and food were great as always, but service left an awful taste in my mouth. Used to love the Jade but will not be back. read more

After a few years of being away, I came back to JP last month and found the food to be horrible. The meat in the fried rice was burnt and the rest was mushy. Chicken fingers were hard to bite into and the chicken wings were dry. Chaulked it up to a bad day. Went last night and it was worse. Ordered the same with similar results. PuPu platter was hard as a rock and the meat was over cooked/ fried. The 2 duck sauce containers were at the bottom of the tightly packed bag upside down which spilled everywhere. Not sure what happened there but I will not return or recommend. read more

Although I'm still a fan of this place the rodent traps that surround the building are concerning. The food especially the crispy beef and special rice are so off the charts good that I still come here despite whats in the traps. The entire place is so in need of a redo, I'd like to hope the owners relocate, bulldoze or do something as the building has zero character inside and out. I know the review is confusing as I give the food high marks while hating the building the food is cooked in. Oh well, just had to update . read more

Old school (think 80's, used to go with your parents or on first dates), classic American Chinese food and drinks. Pupu platter with flames, strong run drinks, friendly staff, kitschy decode, great prices. read more

I've been in here a few time and have got takeout and it's always hit or miss. Typically the servers only come to take your order and drop off the food and then chat in a group until 45 minutes after dropping off the food to drop off the check. The last issue I had was A group of friends and I went for a friends birthday dinner a while back. One of my friends arrived late and they refused to serve him alcohol because they thought he was drunk, even though he was dead sober and had just arrived on a motor cycle. They then took our food order and me and that same friend never got our food, mine was just an order or general gao's, nothing else. We both asked multiple times where our food was. After an hour and a half, 30 minutes after our friends finished their meals, we both told the waiter to cancel our orders. He brings us the checks for our drinks, just cokes since they wouldn't serve him alcohol and I was driving, and they never brought our food. We both pay the exact amount, since we could have grabbed a not watered down coke at the 711 down the street and any waiter/manager at another restaurant would have comped the drinks for the trouble. The waiter chases us down in the parking lot asking why we didn't tip, mind you we are in a party of about 12 who did tip since they had no problem with getting food, so why would our missing tip matter so much on our $2.50 cokes? Especially after never getting our food and my friend not being allowed alcohol for no reason? Mind you I usually tip well, even if the service is slow or the food came out wrong. I've tipped $10 when only getting a Pepsi and some cheese and crackers at the 99s. But if you take my order and I ask where the food is every 20 minutes after everyone else is served and then I have to cancel the meal since we have to leave, then a tip is not happening and you should understand that, not chase me into the night to get your 15% tip(about 38 cents.) I've picked up food twice since then and something is always missing. So sorry to say this place is dead to me, I would recommend staying away, especially since this is like the 4th best Chinese food place in town anyway. read more

Me and my family have been coming here for decades. Since the new owner, the service is slow and the food is slightly more bland. But it's basically the same Jade. The mai tai's have a little more curacao. read more

the mai tai is the best $5.50 you can spend on a drink. in my drinking prime i could choke down four and i would debate walking home. if you want a really drunk, cheap night out, with your scumbag friends; take them to the jade. the crab rangoons are the best ive ever had, and they give you free bread & hot tea. take them up on the free bread, cos youll need it to sop up all the alcohol youre about to throw back. theres also a guy there that looks exactly like kenny rogers. is it kenny rogers? ill never know. final word; get tidbit #4 & get drunk. read more

This place has changed ownership for the worse with higher prices, less food and absolutely terrible quality and taste. Asian husband and wife owners are both disrespectful, unappreciative, rude and liars. The place is a dump and falling apart and should be condemned. read more

i have been going here for years. this is by far the best affordable chinese food this side of the great wall. the food is fast and hot and always fresh (not common for fast food). the service is exceptional and after going there a few years they become like family. the drinks are exceptional too. the mai tai"s are the best ive ever had. ive never had a bad experience here and i recommend it to anyone. the lounge area has booths and small round tables with soft chairs. it really makes you feel like home. i give this restaurant FIVE STARS! read more

I know this place isn't particularly glamorous, but I still love it. The drinks are good (and strong, as other reviewers have mentioned) and the food is what you should expect American Chinese food to be: pretty greasy, mostly fried, and delicious at the time but a rock in your stomach later. Still though...it's usually worth the rock-in-stomach feeling later, because it's just that tasty and satisfying when you're in the mood for that kind of Chinese food. If you're looking for more authentic fare, order from the Sichuan menu at Sichuan Gourmet near the Billerica Mall (but don't go to the Billerica Mall...it's depressing). The atmosphere and decor of the place haven't changed in a few decades, with murals on the walls in both the dining and lounge area, odd lighting, and a parking lot that could use some repaving. The dining area is pretty family-friendly, but the lounge is definitely for adults only. And while it was mentioned in another review, I fail to see how the very real human tragedy of a person abandoned after an overdose in a parking lot of a restaurant- after it was closed for the night- has any bearing on the restaurant itself, and it seems disrespectful to mention it as an aside. read more

Went there for the first time being under new ownership. I got all the way home to find the wrong order. I called and was told to bring my food back so they could check it. I did and the owner said "I'm sorry". They offered to replace my order and gave me a $5 gift certificate which didn't even cover the gas I wasted. When I got back home I found that they only replace the items that were wrong in my tidbit so everything else was cold. Also, my daughter found a staple in between her Crab Rangoon. Not planning to go back anytime soon since the prices have gone up quite a bit and they even charge now for the hit oil. read more

Use to be an amazing place with friendly staff. Now sense the ew powers something's always wrong with my takeout. I pay for things that never get. Glad you have order accuracy but it doesnt matter how many times you say it if you dont give the items.... I'm looking for a new place read more

If you plan on going to the Jade Pacific stick with going for lunch & not dinner. I went there for dinner last night & was totally disappointed,. It took forever to get waited on, we ordered sodas which came after the food (& after reminding the waitress ) the chicken fingers were over cooked & the waitress checked on us after we finished our meal ( I wanted another soda but didn't get the chance). I've had lunch there many times & although the service is always hit or miss it's never been that bad & the lunch specials are really good; they don't have any real dinner specials which is disappointing. read more

I don't know why i keep going back to this place. Every time I get food I swear I will never eat here again. The best way to put it is the food is gross. Every time I end up throwing this garbage away and sitting on my toilet for a bit. If you want a stiff drink and hang out with townies, this is your spot Every time I've been, the same faces are at the bar literally. I suggest the owners make the cook smoke his cigarettes around the corner and not standing in the doorway of the kitchen which is right on Boston road Will I eat here again.? Probably. Then get mad at myself and swear I will never eat here again read more

Not great in any sense... Not the worst I've had however. Go to Sweet Ginger in Burlington instead, see my review on them. My food last night was obviously rushed, the chicken fingers refried, and the spicy beef cold. Also saturated in grease. This may be because it was Christmas Eve, but this is not acceptable. A relative in Billerica ordered from here on a normal day, and it sucked also, or even worse. As I said, Sweet Ginger or Rick's Cafe is recommended. read more
