    This is a small restaurant tucked away on the main street in Spearfish. It is owned and run by one…read morefamily who does the cooking, cleaning, and attending to their customer's needs. Although small and with a limited buffet (about 30 or so items) the food is expertly cooked with the vegetables cooked to a crisp doneness and the meat to perfection. The kitchen is constantly delivering small portions to the buffet so all the offerings are fresh and hot. Because food is cooked in small portions it is never left standing to become a less than delicious fair. Highly recommend after eating there two different days at different times. We shall return, I'm sure. In talking to one of the owners I found that since they took the restaurant over they have been getting old customers back, and they come back again. Apparently, the food was not so good before they took it over, and they have made a change for the better.

    With a name like Jade Palace, it's got to be spectacular, right? I broke my own rule about never…read moreeating off a buffet, and my visit only reinforced my feelings about buffets. I am sure it would have been great at lunchtime, but we were there after 4:00 and most of the food was old. The chicken for sweet-and-sour chicken was so dried out that when you bit into it, it was hard to really know what it even was. The Crab Rangoon was overcooked and the filling was crumbly. And the egg drop soup was oily. How does that even happen?! HOWEVER..... the spicy orange chicken and fried rice were exceptional, as was the Kung Pao chicken. If I do go back, I will order these items from the menu rather than from the buffet. And I will pay with a credit card because the girl at the cash register had a terrible time with cash.

    What can I say????…read more Super good! I went for Pho mainly. I was going to try a different restaurant the day before called Pho Vietnam, but they put a bad taste in my mouth before I could even try it. I'm glad I didn't, and I'm glad I tried this place instead. Menu has a good selection. Seems like also some Chinese American food. I got a Thai tea; which was amazing. I ordered a grilled beef banh mi that came with a side salad! Sooo big and huge.. Then I ordered steak pho with tendon... I ordered a small and it was more than enough. Good portions, flavorful and had some good depth. Good amount of veggies to add to pho.. I dipped my banh mi into the pho and that takes it to another level. It was nice inside the restaurant, the ambiance was nice and calm...service was good and helpful. I couldn't finish all my food and was able to pack it all up. I will definitely return.

    I always try to support local restaurants, and I was excited to give Pacific Rim a try. The first…read morething that stood out was the restaurant itself--the ambiance is very nice, clean, and inviting. On a beautiful summer Friday evening during tourist season, I was a little surprised it wasn't busier because the space creates a great first impression. We ordered the General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian Beef, spring rolls, and two boba teas. The sauces on both entrées had good flavor, but unfortunately the proteins were the weak point of the meal. The chicken was fair, but the beef was extremely tough and dry. The texture was so chewy that it almost felt like beef jerky that had been rehydrated in sauce. The rice also didn't seem fresh and fluffy as I would have expected. The spring rolls were easily the best part of the meal. They were fresh, flavorful, and the highlight of everything we ordered. The boba teas were a bit underwhelming. They were so sweet that the sweetness completely overpowered the tea flavor, making it difficult to appreciate the drink itself. Our total came to about $64, including a 15% tip on a pickup order. At that price point, I expected better quality and value, especially considering the portion size of the Mongolian Beef. I genuinely want local restaurants to succeed, and Pacific Rim has a nice atmosphere and some promising flavors. However, based on this experience, the quality did not match the price. I think more attention to ingredient freshness and execution would go a long way. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because I'd like to see the food live up to the potential of the restaurant itself.
