9 reviews for Jasmine Restaurant
There is one waiter who has worked at this place forever who is the biggest jerk. He is aloof, ignores your table and acts like he could care less if you're hungry or happy with your meal. It has become a running joke between my wife and I, so much so that we actually enjoy seeing the "jerky waiter" guy. If you've been to Jasmine, you will know who I'm talking about.
The food here is consistently above average. They can make the food pretty spicy upon request. Sweet potato roll and General Tso's chicken are among my favorites. If you don't get any booze, you can grab a decent meal incl. appetizers for two under $40.
Jasmine is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the area, so it's high time that I write a review of this place.
Jasmine's food is best described as "pan-Asian" - it takes some of the best offerings of Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese cuisines. The decor is kinda hip (particularly considering that the restaurant is located in a strip mall) and the food has never disappointed me. Jasmine has the feel of a place in Center City Philly, not North Wilmington.
I seem to be drawn to entrees with lemon grass in them time and again. You can't go wrong with the beef or chicken, over noodles or rice. The bento boxes served at lunch are a great way to get a sampling of a variety of items. I'm also quite fond of the crispy crab wontons from the appetizer section of the menu. The menu is fairly extensive and I would venture to guess that most anyone could find something to his/her liking.
If you're in the mood for something "Asian", but don't want to commit to Chinese, Thai or whatever, Jasmine is the perfect choice.
American Asian fusion, not a bad eat for what, on the exterior looks like just another strip-center restaurant nestled next to a Subway and video game store. The decor is eccletic, subdued on one side of a metal beaded curtain with a larger, not-as-intimate dining area to the left.
The lemon grass is my absolute favorite, fresh, seasoned excellently. My second visit wasn't quite as memorable as the first and I have the same dish of chicken and sauteed veggies. Service is friendly but just a bit too rushed.
I know you want to know about the dinner ... but you have to try the deserts!! Leave room!
We go here often to meet up with the in-laws. It's a very nice restaurant with yummy asian dinners. The atmosphere is lovely and Delaware is smoke free so you can sit at the bar and enjoy a drink without dying of cancer.
This is a great place to eat if you're in the area.
Downhill this place has slid. The entrees got progressively more greasy, and we abandoned all hope last year, which was a huge shame. We decided to go back after a pause of several months, and found no improvement. Oddly, we also noticed that the wall fixtures and table doo-dads were missing. Fire sale?

The three or so times I was there it was above average even Dad liked it and he doesn't go to Sushi places. I'll be there again soon as the Airlines have a good special.
I've been here several times so far and while I thought it would be love, I'd say it's more like friends with potential. The menu is extensive and hard to choose from, but it is definitely on the price-inflated side. I guess you're paying extra for the trying to be swanky factor (but hey, swanky is nice). I do enjoy the sleek decor. Service can be sloowww even when it's not crowded.
I thought the sushi was good (but again, expensive - and my picky self hates not being allowed to make substitutions). I very much liked the roasted duck with baby bok choy, which was delicious, nice and crispy, and not fatty. The chow fun was also very tasty, not groundbreaking or anything, but very yummy and enough to take home. Not someplace I'd go often, for sure, but I have enjoyed my meals here. It's a nice place for a date night.
A great spot to take a date. The trendy atmosphere of this sushi bar made me think i'd be paying a lot, but one look at the menu made me calm down. The prices are great (for sushi). I'm new to the whole sushi thing, but this restaurant was perfect for me, and i enjoyed it. Good sushi, classy decor, and a casual atmosphere.
The fish is hit or miss, even in one sitting. The toro (fatty tuna) was disgusting. This is usually the best piece of nigiri. It failed. The Bento box i got, i think vietnamese, was good as well. It's overpriced to be sure, but it's one of the better spots in Wilmington DE.
