Green Jade Chinese Cuisine

Best Chinese I’ve ever had. To be fair I do get the same thing every time.
The sesame chicken is delicious. Perfect sauce and the chicken seems a better quality than most places I have tried. A lot of places you always seem to get that chewy mystery meat piece. Not this place! Always tasty chicken.
The lo mien is the best I’ve ever had. Both the chicken and the vegetable are great.
They give you big portions for the price.
The restaurant is very clean and they are quick wroth their orders.
Seems now of a take out place than a sit down restaurant. They do have tables that are probably used more for a lunch crowd.
10 out of 10. No complaints

I have definitely experienced better food than this restaurant. Visiting this place was a blunder. I am not visiting this place in future for sure.

Best crab rangoon and lo mein I’ve ever had. The place is very clean too! Highly recommended.

Thankfully I gave this place a try. I’ve been looking for good chinese food since moving here, this and hot wok are only two good places I’ve found. Inside is nice, very clean. I ordered the triple meat with garlic sauce and an egg roll. Egg roll was good, not as good as hot wok bit still tasty and overall vinegary. Main course w as s really good, the container was Litterely overflowing with food, enough to stuff me for dimmer and enough for leftovers, plus it was fairly priced. Nain was good, meat and veggies were all fresh. Only down side, not spicy enough, I asked for as hot as possible and it wasn’t spicy. I feel like often times chinese places fear making food spicy for non chinese but I can hang with any pepper so I. Love the heat. This minor gripe aside (and this is with most restsurants,) the meal was amazing and I can’t wait to try more of their menu.

Best Chinese place around… food is super good and the kitchen is clean. Staff is very friendly. Would recommend

BEST Chinese take out! Many other places are not that good. This place is great. Everything is better. If you are used to heavy dark yellow rice, large wontons, thick soup, nasty noodles, Green Jade makes it All better. They have light rice, thin wontons (the real way), great noodles and much more. I pic this place over any other. Yes it’s close to my residence, but this place is worth the travel if you are in the mood for Chinese food.
Recommend:
Sesame chicken
Wonton soup
Eggdrop soup
4pc sweet BBQ ribs
Pork fried rice
Chicken low Mein
Everything else is awesome too, those are just my faves.

I have been an avid Chinese food fan for close to thirty years. I have lived in the WNY area for almost eight years now and have yet to find an overall good chinese takeout place.
I found this restaurant this afternoon via Unilocal and decided to give it a try for dinner. I definitely won’t be trying it again. I found copies of their menu online and called in to place a pick-​up for combination plates. The girl that answered said the online menu hasn’t been updated in years so I told her what we wanted and she said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived about thirty minutes after placing the order and it was just getting completed.
My order was a boneless spare-​rib combination plate w/​pork fried rice, a General Tso combination plate w/​pork fried rice and an order of crab rangoon. Overall the food was quite bad.
The rice looks (and tastes) like heavily buttered white rice with very little pork/​peas/​carrots and onions mixed in. The only flavor that my wife and I could taste in it was butter and salt. It is without a doubt the worst pork fried rice we’ve ever had. (If you could even call it that, its more akin to a buttered sticky white rice)
Even buffet or frozen pork fried rice is better than this. I did pick up a paper menu while I was there and there is a colored picture of some of their food, including the rice. I compared what I got to what was in the picture and it’s not even close. The picture shows a yellow colored rice (which I assume is the norm in WNY) Whereas ours was clearly white.
Not much to say about the boneless ribs, they seem to be standard at every place in this area. The General Tso tasted like a rubbery sweet and sour chicken. It was overloaded with syrup, had very little flavor and was not spicy at all. (it’s listed as spicy as Tso is supposed to be) The two included egg rolls were bland, all you can taste is cabbage. Very little pork inside.
The crab cheese rangoons were decent, nothing special.
The people that work there were friendly, and the store was pretty clean. Also was stocked up on napkins, chop sticks etc.
I asked the girl behind the counter if the online menu was going to be updated and she just kind of laughed about it. The online menu states that combination plates are $ 6.25 and includes pork fried rice, an egg roll and choice of soup or soda. In reality the prices range from $ 6.75 — $ 7.25 and do not include the soup or soda.
As for the portions, the container is about an inch deep. The type chinese places normally use for lunch combination plates.
Will definitely not recommend this place or order from again. More than half of what we ordered went into the trash.
Edit: Also requested no broccoli with the General Tso and it had plenty of broccoli!

I love good Chinese food, and this place has it. Although it looks like your average Chinese place I can verify that it’s anything but. Not incredibly mind blowing, but the food is always fresh, good portions and has ample flavorful sauce. If you enjoy General tso and things like that… they’re great good here. If you like fresher things recommend chicken with garlic sauce as well as the Hunan pork. You’re welcome in advance

I have been going to Green Jade for years due to its close proximity to my apartment. A few years ago, it closed for a while and it was just ok before. A new family re-​opened it and then it was even better. Doesn’t even compare to any other similar take-​out places around here. Surprised to see some of the older reviews and wonder if that was from when they were under previous ownership.
Ordering is easy and the girl who takes orders always speaks clearly and is very friendly on the phone and in person when paying. They will ask for your phone number rather than name and you can give it them when you come in. When I order takeout, it is always ready in 10 – 15 minutes. I have had maybe once where they told me 20 minutes. There are some basic tables if you want to eat in and/​or wait. The place always looks clean and well maintained and you can see back into the kitchen from the front door and it looks neat.
Everything comes out hot, fresh, and with lots of flavor. The servings are huge in size and every container is stuffed until it can barely close. The veggies in all the stuff I have tried are really good. I love pepper steak and the green peppers are fresh, huge chunks that still have some crunch so you know they aren’t frozen/​cooked ahead and just thrown in. The steak is super tender as well. I have tried many of the chicken dishes and like them a lot. I like the chicken lo-​mein (but the flavors of the veggie wasn’t my favorite). The sauces are not too salty (even for salt-​sensitive me) and are flavorful.
Their wanton soup is soooo good and my go-​to if I am sick. The little side portion with the combo dinner comes with 3 big wontons and the broth is very tasty. I like that for the chicken dishes, they have smaller pieces of chicken (like for the sweet and sour chicken) and not huge blobs. The pork fried rice also tastes like pork, not just white rice with some pork thrown in.
Prices are very reasonable. Check out the lunch specials and all-​day combo meals. But even the ‘pint’ size is a lot of food. Try them out!

Best Chinese food around!!! The crab rangoons and the beef and broccoli are my fave! There’s nothing wrong with cheap and delicious Chinese!!!

Green Jade makes me miss the hole-​in-​the-​wall Chinese place in Boston, MA that served crappy food only made palatable with lots of booze (oh hai, Pu Pu Hot Pot); meaning that even splitting a bottle of wine couldn’t help Green Jade’s fare.
Let me also make something clear; I really hate giving independent establishments bad reviews. I want them to thrive. That’s why it pains me to write this review. Bah.
22 out of 22 voters on Urban Spoon voted in favor of this place, which is why we chose to order delivery from them this evening. Dear lord. New York, what is wrong with you?
I ordered chicken lo mein, thinking it would be a safe choice. It usually is. What arrived was just… bad. The chicken was rubbery and looked like it had been through some sort of unnatural food processing. The veggies were few in number, and something about the noodles tasted a little off. I also had a bite of my husband’s veggie egg roll, and it kind of tasted like fried sneakers. Seriously, I could have bought a PF Chang’s frozen dinner bag, run over it with my car a few times, and got the same result.
Said husband ordered General Tso’s chicken, and he claimed, «it was just ‘meh.’ Too syrupy.»
But here’s the thing. I apparently am the only one out of 23 people who didn’t like my dinner, so I guess I’d urge you to give this place a try anyway. Maybe you’d find it appealing; maybe tonight was an off night. I thing most mom ‘n pops are at least worth a shot by all.
Lastly, I found the woman who took my order over the phone to be very polite, and delivery arrived quickly. When we dug in, the food was still piping hot. That’s a definite plus over Yings Wings and Things, where your order could take two hours to arrive.
Bottom line:
Did I like it? No.
Would I recommend it? Sure. Give it a shot.
