    Pork Buns, dumplings, peanut butter noodles and yo po noddles
    Jessica S.

    I was lucky enough to receive a Mother's Day bag from Jayd Bun and it was such a wonderful experience! They were incredibly generous with the portions and even included beautiful flowers as a Mother's Day gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. The noodles had the perfect level of spice, and the peanut butter noodles were absolutely delicious. My daughter's favorite were the dumplings, and we both loved the buns! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We'll definitely be back!

    Took the hour & a half trek down to JAYD BUN in South Kingstown, RI for some buns & noods Placed our order two days in advance & damn, it was worth every mile. We were greeted with smiling faces at pickup plus a visit from the one & only Chef Joe, who even tossed in a couple magic tricks for extra flavor We also bumped into the Fresh Prince of Rhode Island Amir Henley while we were there We loaded up on buns, beef jin jins, ja jen noodles, peanut noodles, & the spicy yo po. Every dish was made fresh to order. The noodles were cooked perfectly & coated in rich house made sauces, while the buns & jin jins were bursting with flavor in every bite. This place absolutely kills it every single time & it's easy to see why they've won so many awards. The hard work, passion, & love they put into the food shines through in every dish Thank you Chef Joe, Chef Annie, & crew #RhodeIslandEats #FoodieFinds #AsianFoodLover #SupportLocalRestaurants #Foodstagram

    Jayd Bun was voted number 2 Chinese restaurant in the U.S. by Yelp, so I had to go check them out. I tried to go in the winter but the snow storm was bad and I had to cancel my order. I finally was able to go recently and the hype is real. It's best that you pre-order through email the day prior, the cut off time is 4pm. They are quick and responsive via email. It's a take-out only restaurant but they have a small patio with a few picnic tables. There are breweries nearby; The Whalers is right next door. I ordered a bunch of food to try with the family. 1. Spicy yo po noodles - tangy noodles with bok choy, love the flavor and the thick handmade noodles 2. Sweet chili chicken jin jin - spicy savory open ended dumplings, mouthwatering good 3. Pork buns - delicious, fresh, and love the sauce it came with. 4. Ja Jen Men noodles - love that savory sweet sauce 5. Spicy wontons - filled with pork and spicy sauce, huge fan All were so good, my husband and I agree, best Chinese food we've ever had. We drove 2 hours from CT, he said if we lived closer we would be there all the time lol; bad for our waist and wallets lmao. Definitely worth a visit!!!

    If worth the hype could be wrapped up in a meal...it would be this one. We emailed earlier in the week to make sure our order was in. We got a mix of buns, jin Jins, and noodles. Our friends picked it up for us and delivered it to CT and it was STILL WARM. THAT is how fresh we are talking here. There wasn't a bad bite to be had. The buns went soft with great filling. The dumplings had a lot of flavor and were so balanced. The noodles had a great texture. My husband was all about that sauce and I'm now so focused on going back for the spicy noodles. We can't wait to go back.

    October noodle. My absolute favorite

    This food is worth waiting for and worth traveling for. We emailed our order 5 days out and added on two days later. There were no issues with our order and it was ready on time. The food is fresh and so delicious. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered and October noodle, Jin jin dumplings, veggie buns, pork buns and a Jayd Noodle. The food easily fed six people. The staff are incredibly friendly. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and try it! You won't be disappointed.

    pork buns

    Unfortunately underwhelming. We ordered two of the Jayd Fusion and were told upon pickup they had run out. We'd even placed our order five days beforehand just in case. We get they disclaim that the order isn't guaranteed, but I don't necessarily understand the point in ordering ahead then. Also beware there is 3% credit card up charge, which does add up with the prices. The food itself was good. Nothing mindblowing, we got the Yopo, pancakes, pork buns, veggies buns, and peanut butter noodles. The yopo was probably the most unique. The peanut butter noodles lacked something, perhaps salt. I will say, the noodles are made in house and texturally are great. The scallion pancakes were tasty and unique, though not at all crispy, and we only got the one order out of the two we had requested (five days prior). The lady up front said they compensated for it and then threw in an extra item. After doing the math, they charged us pretty much what it would've been anyways, and there was no extra item lol. There is some outdoor seating. Inside has a few chairs to sit in while waiting for your order. There's also a wall of AI generated signs inside. I wish them the best, though do think they need to either restructure their system to meet current demand, or be more upfront about how the food you order might not get to you. It simply isn't fair to people traveling from states away, especially when you don't tell them until they are paying for their order at the counter. I hate this word, but i fear it couldn't meet the hype. Maybe it was just an off day. Regardless, if you live within 30 minutes, it's probably worth going. But I wouldn't recommend going too far out of your way.

    Love the whole process of getting this take out. Signs are hilarious, especially the one star yelp review. My favorites were the Jin Jin chicken , scallion pancakes and pork buns.

    Mystery madness!!!
    David Z.

    What is this mystery bag business all about?! Well if you have been following Jayd Bun on social media one knows that when someone is unable to make it for their order the fun begins! A quick post to Facebook and boom, call to score a great free treat!! Snow days seem to generate the most action and boy you have to be quick! If you think getting through for a regular order is tough, well step up and accept the mystery bag call in experience!! Was able to score this sweet treat on a snowy cold evening! After a flurry of calls I was able to score a bag on the second round posted for the night. While some may say it is careless to drive in icy road conditions, I felt this one was worth it for calming my tastebuds down from their lack of Jayd Bun (it has been a bit since I have been in)! As always, the welcome is gracious, fun and friendly upon arrival and always good to hear and see the family at work. I didn't get a chance to catch a picture, but there was a chopstick snowman in progress with the little one! Appreciate the experience along with the amazing food that has propelled Jayd Bun to one of the best in the nation! Truly appreciate all the great work and the amazing food!

    Great food and response via email for ordering. Easy pick up and worth the drive. Had a long drive home and warmed the food in the oven, tasted amazing.

    So finally! After seeing this on social media and reading raving reviews regarding how this place is the #2 Chinese Restaurant in the US, I finally bit the bullet and drove 45 minutes to try this award winning restaurant. And........ it did NOT disappoint! They say you need to email your order or however other ways but, I called and picked up an hour after I ordered. So yes, you can order ahead and pick up same day. Best to order on lunch because after 3pm they advise it gets busy and might not be able to accommodate. I came a little later than my pick up time but, the food was still warm. The buns were soft, juicy, chewy and so full of flavors, specially when you add their house sauce (soy). Perfection! The dumplings were delicious and they are bigger than regular store bought ones. The noodles were very tasty and just the right amount of spice. It was chewy and not dry. I definitely say, it is a MUST TRY! Though the drive is long, the food quality and quantity is worth it. I will definitely be going back for more! We ordered the: 6pc Pork Buns - $18.88 Jin Jins Savory Pork Dumplings (8pcs descent size) $14.88 Spicy Yo Po Noodles $16.88 FYI, it is near Whalers Brewery.

    Pork buns! Yopo noodles ! Peanut noodles !

    So yummy! I love the buns !! Noodles were not as spicy as the first time, but pretty flavorful! I tried it and the peanut noodles were a little little bit bland- still good tho! I ordered ahead 3 days and was reached out to the next day! Easy process! The employees gave us coupons too! Thank you so much ! Also there's AI posters EVERYWHERE... AI is destroying the planet, displacing marginalized people and poisoning our air and water.So to see AI posters for almost everything ALL OVER THE PLACE here was just really unsettling and embarrassing... an original design will always be 10000% better and never lazy

    October noodles
    Samantha W.

    Finally got here, third times a charm. The flavor behind every dish is beyond what I can explain. Every dish is carefully prepared with love, you can literally taste it!! Over the phone and in person service was friendly and helpful. To sum up this delicious experience, is beyond words, get here and eat ASAP! Not to mention my husband and I ate outside on this 50° day, Joe saw us eating alone on the patio and provided us with drinks and discounts off our next visit, too notch!!

    Jayd Fusion
    Stephanie T.

    On Saturday's, Jayd Bun opens at 12pm so I called Jayd Bun at 12:00pm to preorder. I put in my order and I was given the pickup time of 1:45pm. When I arrived at 1:40pm, there were a lot of people in the small space waiting for their orders and people were dining outside. What a busy day for Jayd Bun!!! The staff member called my name stating that my order was ready and I paid for it. There is a surcharge for using credit cards. We brought our food over to Whalers Brewing Company and enjoyed it there with some drinks. We weren't the only ones that did that, I saw a few tables with Jayd Bun bags. It's great that there is a partnership. We ordered the Jayd Fusion ($14.88), Pork pan fried buns ($18.88), and Chicken pan fried buns ($18.88). Jayd Fusion is 8 pieces of a pan fried scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was crispy. Jayd Bun's pan fried buns are always filling and delicious. The pork and chicken filling is juicy and scrumptious. If you haven't tried Jayd Bun, you have to!

    Everything sounds but we can no longer tolerate spicy/hot foods. What can you suggest as far as the buns and noodles go that aren't too hot? Please and thank you.

    The only things that are spicy say spicy in the name so you guys are safe

    What form of payment do you accept?

    We accept credit cards and cash. Cheaper if you pay cash wink wink

    Hi do you use MSG? Coming all the way from Cape Cod to try your food.... I heard its the best !

    We dont use msg but there are some sauces that might have it as an ingredient. But we don’t use it . Many sauces will have it if you look carefully and no way around that but we dont add that powder grossness to anything lol. When you do come pleas… Read more

    How early can I order? Before open(4pm)or after 4pm?

    Phone calls usually aren’t answered till opening time.

    Are there tables or is it just takeout?

    We are takeout only. We have tables outside always above on nice days to enjoy our food. We always tell everyone to take or food next door to whalers brewing and tell them we sent you. Food & dogs are welcome there

    Most items on the menu are in the $12-14 range, are they entree sized? Would say the october noodle and pan fried buns be enough for 2?

    Most people can only eat 3-4 buns and they are stuffed! Some can eat more or less. So I would say it’s enough for 2 unless you want to have plenty of leftovers! I highly recommend the JAYD fusion of you haven’t had it and it’s a great appetizer as… Read more

    Are there any gluten free options?

    Unfortunately everything has gluten. Our tomato soup however without the noodles is probably the best tomato soup you will ever have. So you can’t go wrong with that option.

    Oddly enough ... Good American-style Chinese food is hard to find in Rhode Island. I have not yet…read morefound a good spot ... and China Garden is no exception. Having said that, of the 7z or so, places I have tried in RI, AI would put this toward the top of the list (which isn't saying much). American-style Chinese food is my favourite junk food ... my guilty pleasure. For many years it has been my comfort food (I dove into a plate of Orange Chicken after failing my driving test in high school) and my New Year's Eve tradition (having waited an hour and a half in a freezing cold doorway at Cathay Garden last year). The bottom line is this is just average. You won't hate it ... but it's not as good as 80% of what you'd find in Massachusetts. Chicken Fingers ... This is the golf standard of how I judge good Chinese takeout. They were below average ... a thin, rubbery strip of chicken with around a 20% chicken to 80% breading ratio. The texture was odd, almost as if it was small pieces of chopped up chicken, reconstituted. They also tasted as though they had been soaked in chicken broth. The rice flour coating was good ... but there was way too much vs. the chicken making them too thin, too crispy and too dry. Crab Rangoon ... Incredibly garlic-powder tasting. They are the triangles of dough (normally my favourite kind) and not the little ball-shaped ones more common in Rhode Island. They were just overpoweringly garlic tasting for me. These cheese was cream-cheesy with a slightly sweet crab flavour. A little skimpy on the filling and way too much garlic. Eggroll ... Too small. This was spring roll-sized. Dry filling ... mostly cabbage and not much pork. Didn't have much flavour until dipped in the hot mustard or sweet and sour, which made it better. Didn't taste fresh and was too dry and bland. Pork fried rice ... Judging by the colour of the rice, I thought I'd be disappointed because this looked more like yellow Spanish rice. It actually tasted better than it looked. No egg pieces and very few pieces of onion but there were several thin pieces of pork in it. It needed tons of soy sauce and a small bit of hot mustard. Not the best fried rice I've ever had but I thought it would be worse. BBQ Pork Strips ... The BBQ sauce tasted more like Kraft BBQ sauce than the sweet pink Chinese sauce. Other than that, these were pretty typical of what you find elsewhere with a less BBQ/smokey flavour. General Tso's Chicken ... Meh. Not the worst but not the best. The chicken fingers are similar to the pieces of chicken you'd find in here. The sauce is very sweet and sticky but not as complex as some of the other places I've tried. Not much garlic and citrus to layer in with the sugary sweetness of the sauce here. Pan Fried Peking Ravioli (pork dumplings) ... The best dish they make. Perfectly pan seared on the sides, doughy and a nice pork flavour inside. The included soy/plum (?) dipping sauce was good and went nicely with the dumplings. I'd come back to order these. Condiments ... Gave a miniscule amount of hot mustard sauce compared to other places but it was homemade. Very hot but a bit too sweet. Duck sauce was more like runny applesauce. Homemade but not the best I've had. Overall, 3 stars might seem like a bad review ... but it's really average, which this was. I have been spoiled by the great Chinese food in Massachusetts. For some reason, some states just don't have good suppliers ... I find it odd that Chinese food looks/tastes different at each place in Rhode Island and none of it is great. If I were going to order Chinese food from any restaurant in Rhode Island, this would actually be at the top of the list, which is a sad commentary.

    Consistently good take out Chinese. Very fresh and the service is great! Our go to place for good…read moreChinese.

    I'm heartbroken. This is a sad loss for the locals and island. Ching Tao is the last of the 3 great…read moreChinese restaurants this island had. Hong Kong being the best and my friends family restaurant The Canton being a very close second. This is the second time I've eaten Ching Tao since it changed ownership and the second time I've seen a drastic change in the quality of their food. The difference is night and day. The new owner did what all stupid people do when they buy a great restaurant and trade what made it so great for more money. Such a stupid, STUPID move. He dropped the ball big time and if he doesn't change back right now, it's the beginning of the end for this once outstanding restaurant. I'm sorry. I've eaten this food since I was a kid and I'm 55 now. Trust me when I say what I say. The egg rolls are smaller and pre- cooked or pre cooked even more so when you get them now they're almost burnt and crusty. Not only that they're considerably smaller. I've ordered them on both occasions and they were exactly the same. The best egg rolls on the island by far are close to mall food quality now. I also got the General Tso's chicken. It's half breading now and falls apart on the fork before you can get it into your mouth. I was blown away at the reduction in size of the chicken, the change from chicken breast to thigh meat and doesn't taste half as good as it did. That's all I got the last two times I've eaten there so thats all I can give an opinion on but I'll guarantee everything's changed there in one way or another in the name of the all mighty dollar. I won't be going there again and it makes me genuinely sad. I'm going to miss that place.
