Jade’s Garden

New owner in the last month or so. The old owner was one of a very few who made Hong Su Shrimp and they did it well. I preferred mine with dark sauce and the cook was always happy to customize it for me. The new owner took that off the menu. In fact, he didn’t even know what it was. So, I ordered a lunch special of fried rice, egg foo young and egg roll. I have to say, the egg roll was the worst one I’ve ever had. First bite really turned me off, but I tried one more just to make sure. Yep — it was bad, so tossed it. Also, they gave me duck sauce instead of sweet and sour and didn’t like that at all. The fried rice and egg foo young was just ok. The sauce was nothing to brag about and it all was kind of greasy. I had a lot left after I had it for lunch, reheated it for dinner and was still unimpressed. I drive past a couple of Chinese restaurants on the way to this one and don’t see myself eating there again when I can eat fairly OK food closer to home.

Basic chinese food. The cashier had a hard time understanding what we wanted, so we got the wrong food. But! It was still pretty good. Like other chinese places, very fast.
