7 reviews for Jade Palace Chinese Restaurant & Lounge
This is probably the best choice for decent Chinese food in the area.
I have such fond memories of this place as I have been coming here for over 30 years! (WOW! I am seriously aging) I remember the days of the flaming banana...what a treat that was! Too bad they don't offer it any longer.
The decor dates back to when I started coming here in the 70's. High back booths, dark colors...you name it, it's there! They still bring your food to the tables on rolling carts. As a kid, that was SO COOL!
I have always had good food here, so I can't complain. Then again, Chinese food in this area is nothing to write home about. You get huge portions no matter ordering family style or single entree. Prices are a little high in my opinion.
A big plus is the service. They are always super friendly and very attentive to any need you may have.
Wow, what a let down. This place use to serve good food @5-7 years ago...it makes me wonder what happened? It was so bad this visit that we had to send the food back. We weren't about to pay for what was put on the table...it was just plain old horrible. I've had better out of a can...I think my cat has too...seriously. The service was nice, but, wow, the food was just so bland and poorly presented.
We were there for lunch...not sure how things are for dinner. Good luck if you go.
Once inside, you realize you are on the set of a John Woo late 80's Hong Kong action film, minus the doves. Oh, and there are also no customers and I assume that is because the food is literally putrid.
I'm going to give it to you straight. If you are into inflicting pain upon yourself like an Opus Dei albino, please eat here. I honestly think the Chinese food at Safeway is more authentic and more reasonably priced. Is Mongolian Beef supposed to be slathered in KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce? If you are confused, the correct answer is "no". Save yourself the time and look for Chinese elsewhere. I would only recommend this place to someone if they pissed me off.
It is located in the corner of this plaza, sort of hidden away if you don't know where it is, and the decor inside seems a little dated, but this is probably the best chinese in town. I have had some better than this, hence the 4 star, but is priced reasonably for the quality. I love their Gen. tso chicken, and if you get it to go, they pack the rice, chicken, and LOTS OF BROCCOLI separately. Most places don't give any kind of veg with the GT chicks, so this is a welcome change.
They also have karaoke in the bar on weekends, but the time i went to check it out, everyone else was over 50. Not bad, but not my crowd.
About what you'd expect from a place in a strip mall. I came for lunch and found a limited menu with entrees sure to be safe for 60-year-old white people, who seemed to be the primary type to patronize the place. I got a combo meal, and nobody asked what kind of soup I wanted. I guess everyone here likes egg drop. No chopsticks on the table. Bad sign.
The Mognolian beef needed to be more savory, and less sweet, and both it and the fried rice came out warm but not hot. I'm thinking heat lamps. Portions are generous.
It wasn't gross, and didn't make me sick, hence the 2 stars.
We're new to the area and was feeling the need for some Chinese food. This place had been recommended so thought we'd give it a try. While it was clean and the folks were very pleasant, the food was bland which to me is the death knell for a place. We didn't get anything complicated, shrimp fried rice, cashew chicken, stir fried veggies and spring rolls as well as sweet and sour pork. The pork was pretty typical as was the fried rice but the veggies and absolutely no flavor. They didn't use any ginger or soy sauce apparently so I had to add my own at home. The cashew chicken had maybe three cashew in the entire order. If I'm desperate for chinese food and don't want to drive to East/West I'll go there but otherwise probably not.
My experience for Chinese food in the northwest has been dim compared to the San Francisco area, but I thought this place was A-okay. The service was good, they had a good variety of dishes. I typically like the spicier szechewan style entrees and although not Spicy*, they had some kick. The absolute best was the honey walnut prawns, I will order that again wherever I go! I think they have Karaoke there too.
