Jade Garden Restaurant

Im not sure why they sell sushi, you could get better sushi from the supermarket. It has almost no taste and if it does have taste it tastes nothing like it should, and the rolls are extremely small. If you’re in the mood for sushi, don’t order it here get it somewhere better like Tokyo hibachi & bar. But besides the sushi, the food is pretty good and it’s my go to place if I want take out. Just don’t order the sushi.

Caddy-​corner from Wawa on Lancaster Avenue lies Jade Garden, a Chinese/​Japanese restaurant that remains oft overlooked despite being located in the midst of one of Shillington’s busiest intersections.
This place is by no means fancy. The décor is horribly outdated, and the chairs and tables look straight out of a 70s diner. It’s not quite down to the level of folding metal chairs, but it’s close. There are booths, thank goodness, so try to grab one of those.
Someone please explain to me how when you order soup to-​go from Chinese restaurants, it comes in giant containers, but when you order soup for dine-​in, it comes out in a tiny tea cup and costs the exact same? I think I’m going to start ordering a to-​go order of soup when I sit down and just crack that baby open as soon as it comes out while I’m still waiting for my entrée.
The soup *is* good, though. Which is why I want more of it! The hot and sour soup is hearty and has nice heat to it.
My Chinese comfort food is lo mein, and this place nails it. Large chunks of meat adorn an imposing pile of noodles dotted with green onion, water chestnuts, carrots, and bean sprouts. The balance of soy sauce, garlic, and onion flavor are always key. Many places seem to be just slightly off in this regard. But Jade Garden has the formula down pat.
In addition to standard dining room seating, there’s a sushi bar towards the back of the restaurant. Lunch can be hectic, as there is only one server on who’s responsible for all front of house duties. They play some funky Chinese music here. There are some some classic Asian tunes with the string instruments and stuff, but then the next song could be some thumping modern Chinese pop song by the Asian Backstreet Boys. It’s wild.

The chicken and food is very hot but that’s it, and I mean temperature wise. No flavor, I travel across town to get better and cheaper. I enjoy Chinese that has good sauce and flavor.

I was a long time customer of Jade Garden. But, the past two experiences were terrible. Three friends I I ate there for sushi a few weeks ago. The service was terrible and took over an hour and a half. The second poor experience was with take out. I ordered food on a Friday night around 6:00. 7:00 rolls around still not here. I call and the kid of the owner answers and says delivery is on the way, I live 5 minutes away. The delivery guy didn’t arrive for another additional hour. Food was so cold and my order wasn’t correct. I called just to let them know of the issue, and they didn’t seem to care. It seems they are very understaffed, and unable to fulfill orders.

When we order for delivery they almost always have something missing, so we have stopped ordering. We tried going there to dine in and were very dissapointed. The servers who are young kids are not polite atall. The serve your food and drinks holding the top of the dish/​cup where your mouth goes. Our server was on his cell phone the whole time and i didn’t see him wash his hands one time. The Sushi is ok but not top quality. Food is very expensive and we have just decided not to go here anymore.

Fast, friendly service, food average to above average, and probaly the best in town.

I thought the food was good, large portions. slightly pricey than other places, but a large selection and friendly staff. they made a dish for me not on the menu, which is appreciated

Used to be pretty decent, but food has changed and not good at all. Owner is very cheap and won’t even take their own coupons. I would not recommend.

Good, not better, or best, just good. It could be a fold into the regular rotation. Time will tell. I’m still searching for a killer Asian food location in or around Shillington. The quest continues. Suggestions welcome.

The sushi really is nothing special (but that is expected with it being such a low price) and the good itself is not great. I’ve only ordered delivery from this place once and it took them over 2 hours to get my food to me. Everytime I called they assured me it was on it’s way, and when it finally got to my home I did not get an apology or even a discount. The food really isn’t worth it and that one experience really turned me off to them.

The sushi is always good. I tried most of the sushi on the menu and never was disappointed. Prices are good and the staff is very friendly. I always get take out, so I don’t know how the service is.

Best you’ll get in the area. I am a regular, and always get service with a smile. Food is excellent. You must try their Thailand Shrimp. Great for spice lovers.

I’ve been here plenty of times, and have purchased other services from them as well. It’s sort of a diamond in the rough, as I don’t see a lot of activity when I go here at any one given time. The dining area is super small, but the staff are quite friendly. The Chinese food is on par or better than places in the area like Asian Star (used to be Panda Heaven) for a much smaller price tag. I have had General Tso’s, Dragon and Phoenix, sweet and sour soup, eggrolls, and egg foo young from here, all super quality stuff, very tasty. I even used this place to cater for my wedding. Everyone at the wedding reception thought it was unique, and the food was amazing. I was kinda sad that there was nothing left afterwords. lol I also purchased a big party platter of sushi from here for a party, and it was decent. I’m not a sushi connoisseur, so it’s hard for me to review it. Nobody complained about it however, and there was nothing left. Even friends of mine that weren’t into sushi were eating and enjoying it. Great place to get Chinese food from, decent portions, and good quality.

Food was decent, but the dine in service was terrible. We were a party of 5 at about 6:30 pm. Most Asian restaurants offer fried wontons with sauce as a sort of app, but not here. Plates came out one at a time, over about 5 minutes to serve all of us (a big no-​no to me — shouldn’t you serve the whole table at once?). I ordered fries with my dinner, then asked for ketchup — I received a soufflé cup with about a tablespoon and a half of ketchup in it! Seriously? And when my mom asked for duck sauce for her egg roll, they handed her a single packet! I’m not living in the area, but my sister who does says their delivery is stellar. As for the sushi bar, it looked sinister.
I had the garlic broccoli, which was labelled «hot & spicy» (it was a little warm, perfect for me but my heat-​loving hubby would have been disappointed).
And I couldn’t help feeling bad for the gigantic fish in the anything-​but-​adequate tank.

Love it! Tried this place for the first time last week. We ordered the Generals Tsos Chicken, Pork LoMein, and Wonton soup. It was all very good. The generals tsos chicken was all white meat and nice and crispy. A nice kick to it but not too spicy. The chicken lomein was perfect and the vegetables were fresh and crispy (i hate wjen the veggies in lomein are soggy). The wonton soup was good, but I have had better. We will def order from here again.

Worst Chinese food anywhere.

Sweet and Sour Chicken is the best you will ever have. Sandy the owner will always greet you with a smile and her husband and crew put out a ton of food. This place does tremendous volume and are appreciated for the fresh food and consistency. I have never tried the sushi…
