    Combo 1 and an egg roll
    Jeanilee S.

    This place has been around forever. My mom used to get me chinese food from this place once a week when I was a teenager. Anyways, many years later, I decided to stop by to grab dinner. I was helped right away, and went with combo 1, chow mein, fried rice and 1 other item. Everything was delicious and portions were huge and plentiful for the price.

    BBQ Chicken that looks like old beef jerky

    Buyer Beware... My family use to love this place but lately their food has declined .. Today we asked for BBQ Chicken and when I got it .. It looked like Beef Jerky .. the chicken tasted off .. we also ordered a Wong Tong soup .. Only to be disappointed that one of the Wong tongs tasted spoiled .. I called and was offered replacement food but after seeing how bad the food is .. I'll just take a loss .. Btw the picture is of the BBQ Chicken .. you be the judge .. I spent $40 on food we didn't even eat ..

    Exterior sign

    I LOVE Chinese food, and this is a great spot in Moreno Valley if you're looking for some to-go Asian cuisine. Walking in, I was a little confused as to where was ordered. There was a small sign for Grubhub showing where to pick up orders but no large "Order here" sign like most places. I was promptly greeted by a young lady who asked me what I'd like to order and that cleared up my confusion. As soon as you walk in there's a break in the sneeze guard where the line would typically start (there was no line when I walked in). I ordered a 2 item with half and half. For my first item I decided to go with my typical broccoli beef. I was having a little trouble deciding between orange chicken and mushroom chicken so I asked the lady helping me and she informed me that the mushroom chicken was one of their top items and I should probably try that. She said she doesn't care too much for mushroom chicken but she loves the mushrooms here and the sauce everything is cooked in is delicious, so naturally I went with the mushroom chicken. After that was plated, she said I should also try one of the beef egg rolls. I was originally planning on ordering my typical spring rolls, but who am I to argue with someone who works here and can tell what I like? Out the door with a 2 item and 1 beef egg roll total was $11.85 (59¢) card charge. Let's get into the good stuff: -Broccoli beef. This place has my absolute favorite thing, thinly sliced beef that is so tender it almost melts in my mouth. And the sauce is an almost perfect blend of sweet and savory. The carrots and broccoli could have used just a tad longer to be cooked, but the overall flavor was great. -Mushroom chicken. WOW. The flavor really was great on this, truly one of the best servings of mushroom chicken I've had from a takeout place. The mushrooms are amazingly cooked and don't give me that "mushy" texture I don't care for. And the sauce really was a great savory, almost curry like flavor that paired well with the zucchini and the tender chicken. -Chow Mein. Relatively standard for chow mein. I would say it was a little heavy on the pepper, so beware of that if you're picky with your pepper (I am talking black ground pepper, not Jalapeños or anything spicy). -Fried Rice. Also fairly standard fried rice. A tad dry but I didn't expect anything grand. I usually soak mine in soy sauce and leftover sauce from my items anyway so this was still great. -Beef Egg Roll. Some people might not care for these as there isn't a whole lot of beef. I'm not sure why I was expecting a Filipino Lumpia, but that's not what I got haha. Picture more a large spring roll with bits of ground beef throughout. That's pretty much what these are, and the flavor is great with their sweet and sour sauce. All in all a great experience, and I can't wait to be back to try some orange chicken!

    Cockroach

    Look I'm gonna be honest I have lived in Moreno Valley for 8 years and about a year ago I finally found my Chinese food place here in the city and I loved this place so much until today because the first thing that happened when I opened my plate was I found the head of a cockroach. I was so excited to eat my food but now I'm just disgusted.

    "Shrimp with Lobster sauce"
    April D.

    I don't know who is giving this place good reviews but it was the worst Chinese food I've EVER had! First of all, I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce which has to be made specially in the back, it's not the pre made stuff they have out already to make the combos. So that's fine, meanwhile I ordered a 2 item combo. I was really hungry and wanted to have leftovers for later. I got BBQ pork, Kung Pao chicken and then half fried rice and half chow mein. The BBQ pork was so dry that I had a hard time swallowing it, I cannot express in words just how dry it was, it was more like BBQ pork jerky. The Kung Pao chicken had almost no flavor or spice and the rice and chow mein tasted the same and was very bland as well. I waited for about half an hour for my "shrimp with lobster sauce" I get it and go to my car. I decided to have a couple bites before going home to eat it. When I opened the "shrimp with lobster sauce" I discovered that it was just a large bowl of egg flower soup! I walked back in and told them that was not what I ordered. The lady told me that this is the "shrimp with lobster sauce"! It most certainly was not! As you can see in the pic, it's egg drop or egg flower soup. The picture of shrimp with lobster sauce that have on the wall shows the shrimp with peas and carrots with a creamy sauce over rice. The picture here is what I got. After arguing with me and telling me that I was wrong she finally gave me my money back and told me to throw it away. I didn't want to waste food so I kept it anyways. The best part of my meal was my can of Coke that I got there which I was thankful for getting because for one it helped me wash the dry pork down my throat and also helped me realize that my ability to taste was ok and it was just that the food was bland and lacked flavor and that I didn't have Covid and loose my sense of taste! I will never eat here again and I would literally recommend ANY other place than this one!

    This is how much I got for a "two" item. Cost me $10 for some rice.

    I was really craving Chinese food since I'm away from home, so my friend and I decided to try…read moresomewhere new and came across Jade China. I'm honestly really glad we did. The restaurant itself is super spacious, and since we came at kind of an odd time after the lunch rush, it was really calm and relaxing inside. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari, and it was really good. The calamari was crispy, lightly seasoned, and still tender inside, which made it super satisfying to eat. I do wish it came with a dipping sauce, but we already had sweet and sour sauce on the table and ended up using that instead, which actually paired really well with it. We also got the Chicken Pad Thai, which honestly impressed me a lot. The portion size was huge for the price, I think it was around $12-13, which felt really worth it for how much food we got. The noodles were flavorful, well cooked, and had a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors without feeling too heavy. The people working there were really welcoming and kind, and it felt like a family-run restaurant, which made the experience feel even more comforting and homey.

Today I ordered the paper wrapped beef and the beef and snow peas. The paper wrapped beef came with 2 sauces on a small bit of cabbage. It was ok. The beef and snow peas it said it came with water chestnuts on the winder menu, on line, on Yelp. 9on door dash, ect but she showed me some menu that showed they removed it during Covid but they happily did add it in saying that when I order it again to please remind them that I want them. This saucey dish comes in a styrofoam container with a bag slid over but it leaked out every where with any movement. Sauced dishes should come in sealable containers. This is the standard. And, the beef and snow peas were tasteless. I added hot sauce and the soy sauce they gave me and it is still not enough to save this dish. While waited they brought me water and fried noodles with sweet sauce. This is a nice touch. They also gave an almond cookie. The AC was cold and comfortable in the restaurant. I want to like it here but the food is not flavorful enough for me. And the food taste is the most important thing so I don't think this is for me. Also the soy sauce packet is terrible. And has corn syrup.

Let's start with a Chinese American classic--Orange Chicken. Now pair it with fries... It sounds a little devilish, but trust me... it's an amazing creation. And since we just had National French Fry Day, why not give yourself an excuse to try it? My favorite is the Dried Chili Fried Rice from the secret--but not-so-secret--menu. The Lao Gan Ma is totally the soul of this dish. And if you're not sure how addictive it is... just try it. Of course, as an American Chinese fast-food spot, they also serve a huge variety of classic dishes with generous portions.
