Jade Garden

I tried their spring rolls and they're decent for the Midwest. It was a pleasure finding a place where they serve spring rolls and this did the job although I didn't like the dipping peanut sauce it was unbalanced.

Soooo, my goal is to hit up all the Asian spots in Lawrence whether they have good ratings or not. Jade Garden was on the list and I'm glad I got them checked off. I would give this place a solid 2 stars for the taste and quality of their food. It's not terrible, it's more okay tasting. However, if you like Panda Express, you'll like this place. The decor is nice and they do have a large menu for you to select from. They also have a karaoke bar next door. I'm sure that would be fun for late night food and bleaching your heart out. We got spicy dumplings, which was pretty good. If I were to ever come back, this would be the only thing I would get. We also got spicy garlic pork. It was meh. We also got the duck noodle soup. It was underwhelming. I also tried the boba milk tea. Tea was not bad, boba was horrible.

This restaurant is the local equivalent of Disney. There are many different varieties and things to try. A person will never be bored in this restaurant. The first time I went here I was overwhelmed by the menu. I thought it was extensive and that was BEFORE I learned there was a second menu of Japanese food. I did not dare look at that menu, though, because I was still working my way through Menu #1.So many offerings- soups, salads, appetizers, vegetable dishes. Rice and noodle dishes, ramen meals, and so many other goodies. I have had a sampling of some of the items and have not ever been disappointed. The food has been just as described, fresh, hot and served quickly. The owners, Alan and Lisa, are very accommodating and they truly want you to enjoy your dining experience. There also seem to be quite a few regulars that come here, too. Regular customers are a great sign for any business. The restaurant is big and spacious. The decor is nicely done and the colors blend together well. Although it is a big restaurant, you do not feel overwhelmed and there is still a living room atmosphere. One thing I like about this restaurant is that it is not adorned with fake Asian motifs. Everything is nicely done. There is plenty of parking, as well. This restaurant is in a big strip mall and parking is never an issue. The prices are reasonable and nothing is outrageously priced. The quality of the food is good and everything is fresh and freshly prepared. The food is not the only thing they offer here, either. There is a karaoke bar for the adventurous and there are many rooms for small group gatherings. There seems to be a number of different activities that are offered in the bar area. The bar has an extensive selection of wines and liquors to try, as well. Reasonably priced, easy to access, fresh and hot food, well stocked bar. Honestly, is there anything else?

I ordered zha jiang men and mapo tofu(not sure the name) and mu husband ordered chicken fried rice. Fried rice was just ok but my dish was....... horrific. They were so salty and too greasy that I thrown away rest of half. Not going back.

I have been going to this restaurant for a LOOOOOONNNNNGG time and unfortunately I have to call this last visit my last. On 8/10/2020 I got takeout for my girlfriend and myself and spent $25 which included 2 cups of their mediocre egg drop soup, one order sm. crab rangoon (3-pcs.), a small order of sesame chicken w/fried rice, and a large order of MuShu Shrimp w/fried rice. It was lunchtime so there should have been no reason for it not to be fresh, but it wasn't. The chicken was so dry and tacky, no glaze to the sauce just barely covered. My girlfriend ate 2 small bites of that and said, nay-nay. I tried it and was very disappointed. My 9 month puppy snubbed it. Moving on....My MuShu Shrimp ($9.00 lg. order) came with about 10-12 of the driest, most shriveled up, very small, tough shrimp I have ever had at a restaurant anywhere. Very unacceptable, especially for 9 bucks, and to top that off, she informs me that the Lg. $9 MuShu shrimp NO LONGER COMES WITH PANCAKES and I have to pay $2.50 extra for 4 mandarin pancakes, which is a first for me....anywhere.. Our soup was passable at best, which would have not have come with any crispy noodles (they have ALWAYS given me one pack of noodles PER SOUP since I have been going there say 9 years!!!) had I not checked my order and asked after I paid to get two small bags of the crispy noodles? They said, OK, and stuffed something in the bag and I get home and they gave me ONE small package of what probably cost them a nickel or a dime to make) So they're going to have to get 11 new customers to try to secure cuz this one has hit the road and with their attitude they often give people you surely can't expect me to not voice my opinion. I have complained about small problems there before and they did correct them, but begrudgingly and with poor customer attitude, so I didn't bother this time. It's a shame because they used to be SO MUCH BETTER. I think they've gotten complacent and it's just their money machine now, no interest in getting new customers or retaining the old. Bye, Bye Jade Garden!

I've ordered Jade Gardens Kung Pao chicken many times in the past, and its usually wonderful. Tonight I ordered it with some fried dumplings. The dumplings were good but the Kung Pao tasted like the chicken was bad. When I reached out to the restaurant I was told "thats how we cook the chicken'Ummm...to taste spoilt?I wanted them to come take the nasty meal away and possibly exchange it with something without chicken in it. Nope, Too bad so sad for me.Will never order again & if I end up with food poisoning from the 2 bites I did swallow, I'll be back to post about it.

We tried this place because we've had a couple of friends recommend their food to us. I wish we would have never ordered from here. First off, We ordered sesame chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoon's. Our sesame chicken was extremely salty (coming from somebody who likes salt) and I could barely eat more than just a couple of bites. I then went to the rice to see if it was any better. It turns out we got brown rice instead of fried rice. At this point, I decided to call the company to see if there was anything they could do about our order. I told him that we most definitely got brown rice instead of friend since it tasted like brown rice and it has no visible egg in it. He then proceeded to tell me that "you cannot see the egg in the fried rice" and that "you got fried rice not brown rice". Either I am very confused or their fried rice is absolutely horrible. I offered to bring the food back in for a replacement or refund, and he refused. I usually am not the kind of person to ask about these things, but this was horrible. I don't understand a company that doesn't want to please its consumer base. In conclusion, we will never oder from here again. If it weren't for the lack of help from the employees, we could have been open minded to try other menu items. I believe their lack to compromise has forever ceased their business with us.

I had this place once and I couldn't get enough!! I've had in three times in a row now and I have to say their sweet and sour chicken is divine. I always order delivery and they always come early despite the 2.3 mile distance!

This place is NOT closed. It's been a longtime favorite for delivery and in-restaurant dining. It's not the fanciest place, but it's a solid choice for Chinese, Vietnamese, and Sushi.

Love the sweet Crab Rangoon. The Chicken Fried RIce special is my favorite. LOVE THEIR FOOD!!! General Tso's Rocks!Owner's are fabulous!
