Jade Garden Restaurant

We have been coming here for years. It's convenient and lots of FREE parking. This is your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Lots of people get take out. You can BYOB Juice, Beer, Dessert and paper goods. Our usual order is Walnut Shrimp, Cold Ginger Chicken, House Cake Noodle, Steamed Fish, Black Mushroom with Tofu & Vegetables, Steamed Rice and Hot Tea.

Before making a phone order for my girlfriend and I we were trying to kinda calculate how much it would be for honey walnut shrimp, egg fu yung, and their shrimp fried rice from their menu on their website (jadegardenwaipahu.com). After doing to the math total with tax should of been close to $34 ish. When we got there we payed $50+ for a small portions of honey walnut shrimp, a small portion of egg fu yung, and a decently portion of their garlic shrimp fried rice. Food was decently tasty but definitely not for the price we payed.When my girlfriend went in to pay and everything the person in the front took the card and didn't finish the transaction, instead he took a call and had her wait a bit. We were told 10-15 min on the phone and left the house after 10min of putting the order in (the place is about an 8min walk from the house). She then had to wait once she got there.

The service was very good. There was only one other occupied table in the restaurant. It was a late lunch, like 2 o'clock. When I was leaving, more people came. There's still a steady flow of customers at this hour.I was feeling hungry for some wonton. Their wonton mein hits the spot. I'd be happy to have a Chinese food spot like this in my neighborhood.

Yesterday I ordered their lunch plate and it was very bad. The noodles was kind of like not even cook yet. The rice wasn't fresh as it wasn't hot. The spareribs was OK and the chart who was OK but a lot of fat was surrounding it. I wish they didn't add so much of the gravy and they go was still Not still stale. This is the worst review. I have to post sorry.

The food selected was delicious- our family picked the 9-courses. Party of 13 (2-kids included). I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party. The table was ready for us. Good thing I called because there was already a large party going on half of the restaurant & as soon as we sat the rest of the place got filled on that Sunday lunchtime.

Well, I finally found a Chinese restaurant relatively close to my new home. Waipio and Mililani Mauka aren't what you might consider as "near", but it's near enough to consider it being "close to my new home".I studied the menu and saw that they offer a pretty extensive and reasonable lunch combo.Too bad it ends at 3 pm.I'm here to pick up dinner. Decided to get my favorite go-to dishes: Shrimp Fried Rice and Sum See cake noodles. Shrimp fried rice is pretty well seasoned with a generous amount of shrimp. The sum see cake noodles were packed in 2 separate containers. One for the crispy fried noodles and another for the topping. It's separated so the cake noodles can stay crispy... Impressive!Or so I initially thought. I got home and emptied the topping over the crispy fried cake noodles, let it soak the sauce for a little bit, then dug in.My first reaction was; WHAT THE HELL....?The cake noodles were.....CHEWY....!?It seems the noodles were pre-fried and set aside and stored, until somebody ordered it. What's the point of keeping the noodles separated from the topping if it's stale?This totally defies comprehension. The other places fry the noodles and cut them into squares after the order comes in. My order came out relatively quickly and the staff was courteous. Judging from the amount of orders coming out of the kitchen, it seems to be the neighborhood favorite takeout spot. I hate to rant on everybody's favorite, but the cake noodles are not happening....It's a bit generous, I'll give it 3 stars.

Jade Garden Restaurant located in the Waipio Gentry Shopping Center. Lots of free parking. Family run business. Service is very important to them, very attentive and accommodating. They specialize in Rice Porridges (Jook) many different options. The most interesting is their Bird Nest Rice Porridge. Tonight we had their version of Oxtail Soup (very tasty lots of Oxtail). Capital Ribs, Stuffed Duck, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and House Noodles made with Hong Kong style noodles. They do a great job with the Stuffed Duck, Boneless Duck with a stuffing made from Barley, Water Chestnuts, Mushroom, Bamboo Shoots, and topped with a Oyster Sauce Gravy. All were delicious.

Three and a half stars Typical Chinese Restaurant but staff are a bit more friendly. Large restaurant but want full on a Wednesday evening. Took a short while to be served water, etc. but there was only one lady and she was taking care if another table. Not sure but looks like a husband wide team with wife in the front and husband in the back. He brought out the food quickly. Hubby and I had the dinner plate. I liked it. Standard 2 deep fried wonton, fried rice. Also had crispy chicken, sweet sour pork, and pork chow mein. I enjoyed all of it. Fried rice had the nice char taste to it. Crispy chicken was ok, rest was good. The pork chow mein was more like a stir fry of poor and veggies on top of chow mein. I liked it, hubby didn't because he's not a stir fry fan. Daughter had minute chicken cake noodle. LOTS of chicken and Choi sum that it covered the noodles. Daughter said it was good and would condone ordering it again. If you are ok with the standard ambience of a Chinese restaurant, and like basic Chinese food then you will not be disappointed here. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but definitely would eat here again when I'm the area.

The food is good and tasty. Prices are not bad depending on what you order. 3 choice plates are about $14 but well portioned.Decided to grab lunch here on a holiday. Only 3 tables with small groups and a good handful of orders service and food delivery was good timing then they never came back til they realized we were done. No water refill, no check to see if we wanted anything else.

Come here for years! Food is made fast and still is good. Only a few times no one answers phone, but service there is good.
