8 Best Chinese Restaurants near Independence

“I have always been more than happy with the special #2. The portion sizes are huge and I love it. Id prefer less sweet and sour sauce in the box when you order it to go, but it seems like theres always a relatively equal mix of fully sauced chicken pieces and some only about half. So you can elect to drown your chicken in more of the delicious sauce or eat a half doused ones as is. The chow mein is perfect. Pork fried rice is a great addition that lets you enjoy rice with some appreciated flavor. I originally didnt like the crab puffs but they grew on me quickly.

Ive seen some complain that the outside needs more cleaning or that the environment needs some adjustment. I think the concerns of the outside are fair enough, but Ive never felt the place was unclean. If anything, I take small town restaurants with dated exteriors but fine interiors as a sign of the truly good stuff. And my experience with Jade terrace has basically just been that: the good stuff.

I am currently full to the brim with a special #2 after thinking about it all day and not eating much. You know what Im not full of? Regret. The special #2 filled me up so much, I have no room for it. Great place for Chinese food.“

“A LOT of their menu can be made vegan with tofu as the option. Make sure to ask them to not use their tempura batter on the tofu as it's not vegan. The appetizers are not vegan except for the lettuce rolls if you get it with tofu, but the veggies are fresh and this is a mainstay when I'm in Salem. I go here at least once a week when Im in the area.“

“Everything was amazing! I haven’t had Chinese food this good in years!“

“Mother and I visit here about once a month. It is our favorite restaurant because the staff there are so gracious, and the food is excellent. We especially love the servers there for the way they treat us, like royalty. They shower us with kindness and they meet every request with glad hearts. Mother and I especially enjoy the General Tsao Chicken with Lo Mein, but it's all absolutely wonderful. Mother is an elder Christian, almost Deaf, but she can hear a little bit using a pocket talker and she loves to sing Christian songs when we go to lunch, and sometimes others dining there will join us. This is a restaurant where EVERYONE is welcome, without ANY discrimination. When you go, you will feel so good the way you are treated, and you will get MOST DELICIOUS food and a comforted belly. You will get especially kind treatment all the way through til you're out the door. Sing Fay, THANK YOU. With Love in the Great Name of Jesus - A.M.W.“

If you haven’t tried the Wings they are AMAZING. Crispy and perfectly cooked. I love the aromatics they top it with too.
I’ve tried the Hong Kong noodle dish (crunchy noodles and sauce on top) and the Vermicelli noodle bowl and both are wonderful. My husband likes the classic
Fried rice and crab puffs. This is also my toddlers favorite restaurant to go to. Her favorite food is Pho with beef balls.
I like this place so much I asked for a gift card for Christmas haha!
Hope you give it a try and like it as much as I do. You can tell they put their heart into their dishes.“

“We had a late lunch and thought we would get poor quality being between the two rush periods, but everything was hot and fresh, they have a stir fry cook that cooked up individual custom stir fry for us, sushi rolls, lots of salad bar and yummy seafood. We were happy.“

“My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner today. We were greeted at the door with friendly smiles. The restaurant is very clean. My husband had sweet and sour pork and i had the chicken and vegetables. We both had egg flower soup and pork fried rice. The food was great! The vegetables were fresh and crisp tender. The meats were juicy and cooked well. The service was wonderful. Parking is at the rear of the building. They offer pool tables and video lottery and there is a full bar. We will definitely return! Thank you for a nice meal.“

“As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by a tall handsome looking guy named aian, he gave me amazing food and plated it beautifully, so generous I tipped him and him and his big heart donated it to charity instead. Never in my 30 years of getting fast food from panda I had customer service like aian provided.“
