Jade Garden Restaurant

We always come here whenever we crave Chinese food. Besides convenience, it's the only Chinese Restaurant in our area. The place needs updating but service is always good.

The food selected was delicious- our family picked the 9-courses. Party of 13 (2-kids included). I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party. The table was ready for us. Good thing I called because there was already a large party going on half of the restaurant & as soon as we sat the rest of the place got filled on that Sunday lunchtime.

The service was very good. There was only one other occupied table in the restaurant. It was a late lunch, like 2 o'clock. When I was leaving, more people came. There's still a steady flow of customers at this hour. I was feeling hungry for some wonton. Their wonton mein hits the spot. I'd be happy to have a Chinese food spot like this in my neighborhood.

Jade Garden Restaurant located in the Waipio Gentry Shopping Center. Lots of free parking. Family run business. Service is very important to them, very attentive and accommodating. They specialize in Rice Porridges (Jook) many different options. The most interesting is their Bird Nest Rice Porridge. Tonight we had their version of Oxtail Soup (very tasty lots of Oxtail). Capital Ribs, Stuffed Duck, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and House Noodles made with Hong Kong style noodles. They do a great job with the Stuffed Duck, Boneless Duck with a stuffing made from Barley, Water Chestnuts, Mushroom, Bamboo Shoots, and topped with a Oyster Sauce Gravy. All were delicious.

Three and a half stars Typical Chinese Restaurant but staff are a bit more friendly. Large restaurant but want full on a Wednesday evening. Took a short while to be served water, etc. but there was only one lady and she was taking care if another table. Not sure but looks like a husband wide team with wife in the front and husband in the back. He brought out the food quickly. Hubby and I had the dinner plate. I liked it. Standard 2 deep fried wonton, fried rice. Also had crispy chicken, sweet sour pork, and pork chow mein. I enjoyed all of it. Fried rice had the nice char taste to it. Crispy chicken was ok, rest was good. The pork chow mein was more like a stir fry of poor and veggies on top of chow mein. I liked it, hubby didn't because he's not a stir fry fan. Daughter had minute chicken cake noodle. LOTS of chicken and Choi sum that it covered the noodles. Daughter said it was good and would condone ordering it again. If you are ok with the standard ambience of a Chinese restaurant, and like basic Chinese food then you will not be disappointed here. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but definitely would eat here again when I'm the area.
