Even on a fairly busy Saturday night, the service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the Mapo Tofu, and as someone who is very critical of tofu dishes, this one seriously impressed me. The tofu was perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and honestly one of my favorite vegan tofu dishes in Traverse City. The rice was fluffy, the portion was generous, and for around $16, I left completely stuffed. We also tried the cucumber salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and huge. My only small note is that both dishes came with quite a bit of cilantro, so I'd probably ask for lighter cilantro next time. Other than that, the food was incredible and honestly so good that we're already considering going back again today!

This eatery is another case of four of our friends thought it was alright and four friends couldn't stand it. Here we are again. Mr and Mrs Tiebreaker. Strike one: they do not offer combination plates or anything remotely like it. Strike two: Yes, the menu lists Chicken/Beef/Shrimp fried rice. NO VEGETABLE FRIED RICE. (In a vegetarian/vegan rich culture?) Strike three: The portion size was incredibly small. Cost/portion ratio was the absolute worst. The food tasted fine. No frills. Just alright. They are parking challenged because of their location. They've also decided to NOT Re-open their small dining room, so it's carry-out only. The young man taking our order was definitely disinterested. I'm beginning to think that they are the only game in town. People in monopolous situations sometimes feel they can afford to be offensive and/or distant. I think it was more a lack of patience in dealing with Old people who are obviously new in town. As always we'll try back in a few weeks and reassess. 10/23

They list that they are open, but when you call it goes to voicemail. The quantity of food is very little. Expect to get a lot more of the cheaper veggies in your chicken/shrimp beef order. Also expect to pay over $15 for any decent menu items., and finally don't expect to have any form of leftovers . Portions are fairly small!

We approached the man and he denied it but then the staff asked us what happened and we explained. They took us seriously. They checked the cameras. And they confirmed that we had, in fact, seen what we thought we saw. I cannot adequately explain how much their response meant to our family. They didn't dismiss our concern, make us feel like we were overreacting, or make an already upsetting situation more uncomfortable. They were kind, respectful, helpful, and made our family feel supported and safe. As a family with transgender loved ones, knowing there are local businesses where our family will be treated with dignity and respect matters more than I can put into words. And for the record, we've always loved Jade Buffet but today they earned customers for LIFE. Amazing food is one thing. Being amazing humans when it actually matters is another. 10/5 stars.

Much to my great disappointment, and embarrassment, the "Fried Rice" wasn't just "Fried Rice" - it was "Chicken" Fried Rice!!! My two Vegan friends could not eat the Chicken Fried Rice so only had the small amount of tofu for their meal. I would think you would realize that if someone is ordering tofu, rather than one of the many other protein (meat) options, that you would know NOT to give them "Chicken" Fried Rice! I tried to share this info with them on their Contact Us form, but the multiple times I tried to 'Send Message' - "Something went wrong" and it wouldn't send. So I'm at least putting it here so others can beware.
