First time at this establishment. Tried the mapo tofu, one of my favorites, plus some hot sour soup so I could report back when I got home, as we're still on the hunt for the best, as our previous favorite closed some time ago. The mapo tofu was good. I opted for no rice, which worked out fine. Requesting it be extra spicy did not yield results, but they provided some chili sauce on the side to liven it up. Their version doesn't go heavy on the peas, unlike some other places. Also included carrots, green onions and mushrooms. The sauce was notable. The hot sour soup was about average. It came to the table lukewarm, but had a decent flavor. I would get it again, but there are better. Friendly host, service was unrushed but efficient. I made it to my next appointment with plenty of time to spare. There are several booths and large tables including a party of 8 already there when I arrived. read more

Royal Jade - Chinese Near Me - Layton, Utah

Food was tasty. However, when we walked in to be seated we were told that they close at NINE. Now I want to point out we didn't come in at 8:55. We came in at 8:05.... The server then told us to sit down and he would be back shortly to get our orders. He couldn't pay attention long enough to each person to get their order and we had to repeat ourselves multiple times for each person. In fact after he submitted the order he had to come out and clarify an order. He then gave us our bill and three minutes later he came by and asked if he could get the payment. This was at 8:45 mind you. So I tip according to the service I receive so I should have stiffed him but my wife is nicer than me but as he looked at the tip he shook his head in disgust. So if you go here make sure it's before 8 since they close at 9. read more

Went the for the first time yesterday . The place was very nice and very clean. Wait staff was really friendly and quick. We had a party of six. Our orders were taken quickly and our food was brought fairly quickly also. We all ordered different food items and shared them. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

They first off sent wrong dish that was awful. No flavor. The lo mein had no flavor as well Potstickers were burnt. Avoid read more

They never called me when my order was ready. I finally just went down there. 6 min away. It was just sitting there. The Mongolian beef was like carrot soup . 5 pieces of tiny beef is all you get. Do not order this. Go to the Mandarin in bountiful instead. the Vegetables Delight was veggies in a corn starch and water mixture. No flavor added . Awful. We had to throw it out . Lemon chicken was like chicken nuggets with a tiny hint of lemon flavor . Kung Pou Chicken was large pieces of veggies with large pieces of chicken in sauce . It was good but not as good as the Mandarin in Bountiful. This business is not going to last long . If they do then it's people who know anything better. I didn't get a photo of the veg. Delight because we threw it in the garbage. Owner .... Please go to the Mandarin in Bountiful. You order Kung pie chicken , lemon chicken , Mongolian beef and a couple others. Study them . Repeat in your Resturant read more

Royal Jade - 1. Egg Roll 87. House Special Fried Rice 12. Hot & Sour Soup - Chinese Near Me - Layton, Utah

VERY UNHAPPY AND DISAPPOINTED!!! I ordered ordered $135 for News Year Eve ordered 3 chow mein dlatge dishes and also ordered extra of the noodles. It was a rather large order and they had it all in bags tied up two bags in a large box and another large bag to carry separate. I got home to 3 hungry kids and 5 adults everyone started dishing up the kids and then the adults started and I realized I didn't get my chow neon noodles so I quickly called and told them and that my son would swing by on his way to grab them. He ran in and they informed him that he had to bring back all the food so they could see that they missed the noodles. I called them again and they informed me that their policy is that we do have to bring all our food back in order to get the noodle. I let them know we had already dished before noticing no noodles missing . She insisted that I had to bring the food back. I said you want me to dump it off plates and bring it in. She repeated that I had to bring in all the food. I told her I'd be calling her manager . I hung up . She called back and said her manager would not be available for 2-3 hours. I have been getting my Chinese food there for 30 years and never treated this way!!! read more

We were going to order take out but after talking to the hostess, she convinced us to eat inside. Later we found out that the hostess is actually the owner. We talked for a little when she brought the food to our table. What a sweet lady! The food was great, and the portions huge. We got a lot of food for what we paid. Their fried rice have actually lots of veggies, ham and egg. If I am in the area I will probably choose this place for lunch again. read more

This is a solid mainstay in our household for Chinese food. Always consistent and tasty. We love the sweet and sour chicken and the broccoli and beef. The cream cheese wontons are my favorite. read more

This is the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in my entire life without exaggeration. I have no words. Merry Christmas!

5/5 amazing service and food Cute decor family owned and operated by two amazing women read more

It's your typical Chinese restaurant with traditional Americanized Chinese food. One thing I noticed was the restaurant was very clean and bright. The young girl working the counter was very friendly and helpful with answering my questions and taking my order. I ordered to go: Orange chicken, walnut shrimp (give you the sauce on the side which made it better than having them soaked in the sweet sauce), Cream cheese one-tons, 3 egg rolls and a small hot & sour soup. It cost around $33.00 Everything was good, service was great. read more

Can you imagine that you have to pay for chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant?????? Shouldn't they come with the meal?

Try to take my wife out for Chinese food. Saw reviews for this restaurant. So we got in sat down. Got the menu. Looked around all I see is Hispanics even cook. I have nothing against Mexican people. However if I go for Chinese I want my food cooked by Chinese. When I go for Mexican food I want my food cooked by Mexicans not Chinese. Seriously disappointed. read more

Special hidden little place. Older and not much atmosphere. That said, pricing is good and generous portions on meals. Very wide selection of food. I did take out, meals were prepped very fast. A good number of people were in for lunch. We'll be back. read more

I live in the area, but haven't visited the restaurant for over four years . Recently I decided to give it another try. I discovered it is now under new ownership and the food is much better. Certainly the best of the Chinese places I've tried in the Layton. Since then I've been back four times, trying different dishes each visit. I haven't been disappointed yet. Consistently good food. Family owned, and very friendly service. All lunch menu items are around nine dollars, the portions are slightly smaller than other Chinese restaurants I've visited, but more than ample. read more

Great food, and quick service! Kinda hidden and have to keep an eye out to find. Check it out! read more

Royal Jade - 19. Orange Chicken-Dinner - Chinese Near Me - Layton, Utah

I do not know what in the Sam Hill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Hill_(euphemism)?wprov=sfti1) is happening at Royal Jade. 10 minutes on hold. 10. We timed it. We kept holding it as a joke, but after ten minutes, the joke ended, and we hung up and called again. Someone answered and took our pick-up order. We have always enjoyed their food. We aren't always The Mandarin for our Chinese; this is more like your greasy spoon Chinese. They have great Hot and Sour soup. We know we order a bit because we like the leftovers, and our kiddo likes the appetizers. So, the hubs went to pick up our Friday Night comfort food while we tried to pick out a movie. It all seems reasonable as they go over the order with him. He asks for hot mustard as they did not mention that it was included with other condiments. The gentleman then says he will have to open the charge again because he will charge us for two packets of hot mustard. They wanted to charge for a couple of packets of hot mustard when he had just purchased over $60 of food and a tip for packing it up. The hubs declines and leaves. The fact they wanted to charge for mustarsbeomes even more irksome as when we unpack the food, we have at least 12 packages of soy sauce, which we did not ask for nor do we use. 10 fortune cookies, no utensils or napkins. One container with the beef and broccoli is cracked and leaking, but that happens, and it would have been nice to have napkins to clean it up. Hot and sour soup is yummy, and the child has absconded to their set up in the family room with a container of ham fried rice with minimal vegetables and even less ham. They have also grabbed as many delicious gyoza and cream cheese wontons as they can, only to take a couple more off the shared plate. I then go to plate the chicken chow mein. Digging through the packets of fortune cookies and soy sauce, I found they had again failed to include the crispy noodles. They "forget" noodles so often with our Royal Jade orders I have taken to purchasing the crispy noodles to have on hand. The lack of noodles annoys me as they will not provide hot mustard and then "forget" to include them. I am done. Their portions continually get smaller and smaller. Like the ham fried rice, their protein dishes lack protein. The beef and broccoli have very little meat (and I understand that prices have increased not only for the customers but also for the restaurants and increased in paying workers). Yet when did the price for broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, and cabbage become so expensive you could not include more than a small handful in a $15 dish to feed a family of 3-5. Unless I am sick, we are looking for another great greasy spoon Chinese restaurant, and then we may return to Royal Jade for the Hot and Sour soup. read more

For fast and good price Chinese, Royal Jade is pretty good. Just lacking that extra little touch that would make it great. Fried rice was a little hard. Good egg foo yung. Just needed that next level touch. Overall good. read more

This may be the worst Chinese food I've ever tasted. I certainly was very disappointed, I ordered 5 dishes, and 2 of the 5 were spoiled food, It certain it was NOT FRESH. The other 3 dishes were too saucy and the meat was really off. The other disappointing factor was the packaging, it was poor and spilled everywhere in the bag. I definitely did not make it through the meal and threw the rest of it away, will never come here again and do not recommend. - see picture for review- read more

I've only been here a couple times, but my BF has been here more over the years. He said the food had gone up and down, and today was he worst he's had. The General Chicken was not spicy at all and the menu stated. It tasted more like orange chicken. We also ordered the Cashew Chicken which was on a plate overflowing with sauce. It had dripped all over the side of the plate and was dripping on the table when we got it, it looked like slop. No kidding. The lo mein was just like spaghetti in sauce with few veggies that were overcooked. The people were really nice, it's just unfortunate that the food didn't look or taste good. Neither the cook or the waitress cared about the presentation of the food, and unfortunately the cook couldn't care less about the taste. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Worst customer service of all time. They left multiple items from our order, and the manager was a total jerk on the phone. Haven't had a worse experience with a pathetic manager like that in a long time. We won't ever go back. I'll go out of my way to tell people to never go there. read more

I don't remember when we were here (just want to forget this place), and I don't remember what we had. What I DO remember is that one of my teeth broke and I wasn't even given an apology. We won't be going back and we certainly won't recommend Royal Jade to anyone. The food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, either. Poor service, so-so food and uncomfortable atmosphere. If I could give fewer than 1 star I would. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! No longer live near it but grew up coming here often. I try to go back when I come into town. I always order the sesame chicken and it's never disappointed me! I'm saddened by all the negative reviews. I've never had a bad experience here and have been many times! read more

We rarely go out to eat because we are typically let down by restaurants. But this place is so good for a locals joint. When you want really good, cheap, fast and friendly service, this is the place! There are other places locally that are more expensive. They are good also. But this place is just what the MD ordered when you need some Chinese to hit the spot! read more

Just had the worst experience dealing with the "manager" of this restaurant. They messed up our order with multiple items with take out, and the manager could care less. Instead of acknowledging their fault, she kept trying to act like it wasn't their fault and kept arguing with us. Her attitude was atrotious. We will never go back. Never. read more

Okay so number one their food was really really really salty apparently they change the recipe number two they put an extra hold on my credit card so I had called them asking about it and the actual manager had no clue how to do with my situation or even understand what will I was saying so they brought on another woman or the phone and she answered the phone with what's the problem so professionalism out the window so I'm kind of telling her you know my bank statement there's like an extra two dollars and she's like well if we charge you so and so and I told her well but my bank statement showing otherwise so anyways we got disconnected I assume she calls back and Lisa rude message saying that I hung up I will never go here ever If you want bad food bad service and a bad attitude this place is for you read more

This is a royal jade employee as of 5/19/21 THIS PLACE IS NOT TEPANYAKI We serve amazing food, it will not be life changing but it is tasty. When I come in to work and the store is empty I will often order myself some Hunan shrimp with chiken lo mein instead of rice. This is so good. You have to try more than just one thing to see if you like it. read more

Under new management. It's not the same as it was before. We won't be coming here any longer.

My first time ordering take out from this restaurant. It was horrible. I ordered Happy Family. There was not much meat & what was considered meat was tough & tasteless. There were 3 small shrimp that were also tasteless. The sauce was a weird red gelatinous with no taste. Needless to say I won't go back. read more

I love it here I've lived I Layton for 17 years and it's just a good restaurant good environment and good food.

Service is the worst. Young kids not doing their job! Too bad the food was decent. The place was a dirty. Will not come back.

Foods been changing a lot lately but usually is quite good! I would recommend the orange chicken or the cashew.

This has been my go-to Chinese for years! Family dinner night, spending over $70, we were shorted 4 items! We called to get it fixed and the manager was zero apologetic! We mentioned no white rice. Her response, "the rice is complimentary." Really?? I will be taking my business elsewhere moving forward! read more

Glad to have found the Royal Jade. Great food. My favorite was the Tofu Family dish. The vegetable Lo Mein was so fresh and flavorful. Friendly service, very nice atmosphere and very generous portions. read more

Shrimp had gone bad and the kid working just wanted to argue with us. Stay away from here!

Generally pretty good, but I was really disappointed in the seafood/chicken soup. Nothing but a very few pieces of fake "krab" and about 5 small scallops. As for the chicken, couldn't really find any. In my opinion definitely not worth the $8. In fact, I found it very flavorless. Stick with the sweet/sour chicken. read more

This was by far the worst food I have ever ate!!!! The chicken chowmein tasted like dog or cat I can't tell which one, it was horrible I can cook better Chinese myself. I will NEVER RETURN!! I wanted to give no stars but you have to in order submit your review read more

The best part of the meal was the fortune cookie. But even the fortune was trash. How can your meat be dry and soggy at the same time?
