    Jade 3 is an above average take out Chinese joint, certainly better than its Chine Star counterpart…read morenearby. The menu offers your typical Chinese options, but the while most places do not season their food correctly, add the right amount of spice, and leave it swimming in grease, you wont find any of these issues here. The convenient location and friendly staff make this the definite go to in the area for Chinese if you find yourself here.

There a few tables that you can sit at if you'd prefer to eat there -- the outside doesn't appeal to me so I've never eaten in. Like all Chinese/Asian restaurants I've ordered from, the basics are all on the menu. However, the food always varies depending on something (the weather, the cook, how busy they are, etc). I don't know what the key is to consistently getting the same ingredients in the same dish. Sometimes I get carrots or mushrooms in a dish and other times it won't have the same vegetables. So I am not knocking Jade 3 for this because it's prevalent across the whole Chinese take away experience. The crab rangoon is fine. They are 8 or 16 to an order. I prefer it when they aren't fried to a dark crisp. The texture is good. I would say that it tends to be a little sweet tasting but otherwise fine. Chicken fingers are the same -- number and variation in crispy. Unfortunately the batter is fairly thick and it tends to hold a lot of the cooking oil. My most recent order the chicken fingers were so greasy that I couldn't eat half of them. If you order online or through DoorDash, you can get some adjustments to the meals. This is helpful since I can't have green peppers and that is a very common vegetable in many of the items. I ask them to hold it due to my allergy and they have always accommodated that request. Both chicken and beef dishes offer a decent amount of protein and are tender. None of the entrees come with rice, so be prepared to spend another $4.50-$7 to get plain white rice and more money for brown rice or anything else. (This is not a thing where I'm from originally so it's worth noting bc it took a bit for me to realize that nobody on the East Coast automatically considered rice as part of the entree dish/cost.) I would also recommend that Lo Mein. The noodles are good. Serving is a very full container and I can usually get a couple meals from it. They offer a small or large portion and the cost difference is only a few dollars but the volume difference is pretty substantial. I don't think you necessarily get a lot more meat in the larger portion but you certainly have more noodles and vegetables. Lastly, I would recommend the dumplings. The order is from the appetizer section and they come steamed or fried. I always get them steamed and enjoy the flavor of the meat filling. It comes with a slightly sweet sauce. They offer Coke products in the 20oz plastic bottles. Be sure to check the bag for these! The driver has been sent out without the beverages on a few occasions. That's frustrating for me and the driver who has had to go back to get the drinks. Jade 3 is the go-to spot for my basic Chinese food. They are very quick with the cooking, typically the delivery is very fast and I'm a happy customer. If I want something more exotic or I want sushi, I will order elsewhere. Otherwise it is Jade 3.... Fortune cookies are generally fine. Once in awhile you will get a stale batch.

    Decided to try a new Chinese food place as my regular place didn't have the dish my brother wanted,…read moreI am so glad I did! I am very picky when it comes to meat but after sampling a variety of meat/seafood dishes I was very impressed. My favorite (out of General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Orange Shrimp) was the Orange Shrimp as the shrimp were battered and fried and the sauce was bursting with spicy citrusy flavor without being crazy. The dish did come with broccoli in the sauce (which absorbed a ton making it the spiciest part of the dish so beware). Also as a disclaimer, my stomach is very sensitive to fried, rich food and I had no sick feelings after this meal! Along with these mains I sampled the veggie low mien, chicken fried rice, and crab rangoon. The noodles and rangoon were delicious but the rice tasted a little underseasoned (still fresh and yummy though). Perhaps the highlight of my meal, however, was the homemade duck sauce - WOW! The only downside to it is that you have to order/pay for it separately (does NOT come with the appetizers) which I didn't realize until I went to pick up my food, wallet-less. Luckily, the establishment threw in two small containers (the 2oz ones) for free which I really appreciated. My only complaints about China Wok are that the delivery times aren't elaborated on their website (meaning you have to call and hope delivery's available) and that their wait times are inconsistent and usually it takes much longer than expected (mainly because they're very popular ergo busy). However, the food quality is amazing and service friendly enough that I don't mind waiting in the car. The only thing moving forward that would prohibit me from ordering from here is if I were unable to drive during a non-delivery time.

    Do not order from this place. They don't have the items on their menu and the service is horrible…read more How can you not have chicken and string beans? Even though it's on your menu. We had an issue last time we ordered from this restaurant and gave them another chance. It got worse , not better.

    9 Dragons is the sister restaurant of the legendary Kowloon restaurant on Route 1 in Saugus, MA…read more While 9 Dragons was opened by the same family and still offers some of the same dishes as the original restaurant, this place is quite the glow up from the Kowloon in regards to the food, atmosphere and service. The restaurant itself is stylish and intimate. The space boasts eye catching decor from neon signs and a mahjong tile doorway to big murals and light fixtures in the form of umbrellas and lanterns. The menu is printed to look and feel like a Hong Kong Hollywood newspaper which I also thought was really cool. The menu here is smaller and more focused than the one at the Kowloon, but I did see that it still offers a handful of the Kowloon's signature dishes. In the case of this restaurant, I definitely feel that the limited menu is essential to producing higher quality dishes. We shared a scorpion bowl cocktail for two, which was served in a cute beckoning cat drinking vessel. For food we got the scallion pancake, the General Gau's chicken and the Brussels sprouts. The food came out about ten minutes after we ordered which initially made me a little bit nervous about the food quality, but once we dug in we could tell that the food was quite fresh. The scallion pancake was nice and crispy on the outside, a little bit chewy on the inside and was served with a ginger sauce for dipping. The Brussels sprouts were prepared Kung Pao style with peanuts and a touch of chili pepper. The General Gau's chicken was fried well, coated in a delightfully sweet and spicy sauce and topped with crispy fried rice noodles. We are just about every morsel on the plates. We knew had to save a little room for dessert here when we saw that they serve a giant chocolate dipped fortune cookie that they smash apart with a mallet right at the table. Served alongside some ice cream, the giant fortune cookie is a super sweet and fun way to finish your time here. Additionally, it came as a pleasant surprise when our check came and it was not quite as high as we were anticipating, especially when you consider that the restaurant is housed inside of a casino. All in all, 9 Dragons left us with a great first impression. A great addition to the Seacoast.
