Jade was off it's game for a while. In the last yea (2023), the quality seems to have returned. My favorite from have is Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken is gristly on occasion and that turns me off enormously (The chicken is never grizzly at Yummy Bowl for instance), I believe the buyer can opt to pay for a better grade in most anything. Of love to have "gristle-free" chicken, their lo mein and sauces are excellent. I've gotten in the habit when ordering from Jade, specifying that 'I don't want any hard pieces or gristle in the chicken, can you do that?' They say of course and those seem to be the times when the chicken is at its best. Recommended again.

Never spend another dollar here. I use to work for them for 10 years on and off. It's Christmas and they wouldn't even pan fry potstickers or deep fry egg rolls for me.

I'm a regular at this spot - their food is always on point, you can taste the love they put into it. Quick service and awesome customer service make it my go-to for quality Chinese cuisine in the neighborhood.

Well, I don't do this often. 16 years Yelping, over 100 reviews, this is my second one-star. We got delivery from Jade Cafe. It was prompt, and our order was correct. It was all downhill from there. The beef was greyish, fatty and greasy. Whether on a skewer with peppers and onions (the veggies were mostly raw), or in a kung pao, it was inedible. The chicken was fatty also, and without texture, but better than the beef. However, the chicken curry tasted strongly of saffron and was pretty unpleasant. The shrimp fried rice was boring, but not objectionable. The hot and sour soup was more oily than it was either hot or sour. The wonton soup tasted strongly of something flowery. I understand some people like their spring rolls to taste of peanut butter, which.... Ok.... But I had never heard of such a thing, and nobody in our family could eat these, even our kids who love peanut butter. We threw pretty much the whole order out, and we will not be returning. On the whole, I think my last one star place was better than this.

Crab Rangoon and fried pot stickers are great, chicken with black bean sauce very good

Got the spicy lamb stir fry. Well cooked with good flavor. We really enjoyed it! Will get it again next time I’m in the mood.

Good food (for suburban chinese!) Prompt delivery and hassle free ordering. Their egg rolls are particularly tastey.

Great Chinese food! Recently moved to the area and will be ordering again. Their egg rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had.

I really didn’t like any of the food I ate from this restaurant tonight. Nothing tasted good, and it made me feel nauseated after eating it.

First time ever ordering here we were very pleased; had unexpected guests and they were in the mood for Chinese - we ordered Moo Shu pork, shrimp egg foo young and chicken fried rice. The flavor was great, umami and we loved that it was not too salty like many other restaurants. We had another favorite in Highland Park which has closed and we are very happy to have a new favorite! We have cut back on the $$ we spend for take out and restaurant eating but when we do we will be ordering from Jade for sure - prices are still reasonable in this post-covid world!

I think they only do door dash now. Place was open, but when we went in there all the booths were filled with delivery supplies and nobody was out front.
