In my most recent orders, chicken chow Mein was tasteless and had no sauce. The Szechuan chicken used to have a nice brown sauce with complex flavor, but this time there was no sauce, it was red and I think the only spice they used was crushed red pepper. And the egg rolls were greasy. To top it off I've spent more time than I like to in the bathroom after eating this. I'll be searching for a new Chinese restaurant because this one has disappointed me too many times.

The first thing is that there is a parking lot (no need to park on the street), though the lot is tight. Inside, the place seemed clean (for a Chinese place, anyway). On the phone they told me my food would be ready in ten minutes; I don't know exactly how long it took for me to get there; it felt like less than 10 minutes, though, so I expected to have to wait, but the food was ready as soon as we walked in. I don't really eat chicken fried rice a lot, so I can't compare it to anything, but it tasted good. It's something I would order for myself again. The General Tso's chicken was tasty, too. This is my go-to meal at any Chinese place. The chicken was crispy (which is something a lot of places get wrong), and the sauce tasted great... very sweet, with a little kick. The only downside (which is kinda big) is that there wasn't a lot of sauce. The chicken was coated well, but I like to have a lot of extra sauce on the bottom of the dish, and there was none. I would consider ordering from these guys again if I was on the side of town, but I also might try something else just to see what's out there.

The flat noodles were cooked perfectly and the chopped peanuts on topped added just the right texture contrast needed for the dish. I added chicken for my protein and the white meat chicken was moist and tender. I was so pleased I went back the next day for lunch with a friend. She order the Pla Rad Prik (spice level 4 peppers), and I ordered the garlic fried rice. She had never been and thoroughly enjoyed the food. This is a place I will continue to visit on a regular basis and introduce to friends. Keep up the great work!

This place is the worse chinese restaurant in the city! The food is greasy and the service is lousy. These people are thieves, they charge you $2 for delivery on an order over $30 and they also figure in the drivers gratuity into your charges. DO NOT use a bank card they will steal your money through your bank account and any order you cancel they will not release your charges! I will see you at the court bench Jade Garden, it's time for a lawsuit!!! You get 1 star because there is no option for "0" stars that is what this restaurant deserves. Ting Ho is way way better and the food is fresh and non greasy. read more

0/10 don't recommend. Very unsanitary, cook was not wearing gloves touching their nose/face and handling food. The man who was handling the trash came out without washing his hand to assist with the food. When I asked them to wash their hands and spoke on the trash, the owner (dirty chef) kicked the garbage can at me. TERRIBLE PLACE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

The orange chicken was tasty, and the pork fried rice was good, tasted fresh. On the other hand, my three other options weren't the best. I had gotten the crab ragoons and they tasted horrid, you could taste the oil it was fried with, making me to believe they may be using the same oil to fry everything without proper oil changes. The pan fried dumplings tasted like it had been cooked all the way through, it didn't have a pleasant taste. The eggroll tasted dry and I couldn't even finish them. I'm not one to usually throw away food, but after eating have of the crab ragoons, and a poor attempt at trying to finish the dumplings, I had to throw them away. If I ever bought from here again, I'd only buy a Dinner Combo w/Pork Fried Rice. No way would I trust their appetizer/fried options again.
