i e been going to this place for at least ten years and have started writing a review a couple of times. But i always stopped because the only thing ive ever eaten here is their sesame beef. If you have ever wondered if chinese food in china is anything like this... you will know what i mean. This dish is so delicious: sweet and savory and crunchy so much so that you know it is slowly killing you. They can't possibly be this decadent there. Only in America. Anyhow it's good, it's probably not good for you, or anything like what they eat in China... but satisfying and quite large portions. This place was open for takeout during covid.. so they survived covid because people were willing to risk their lives dying to go there. Probably for the sesame beef. Good Service, strong chinese restaurant in a strip mall 6500 miles from China Ambiance. read more

I went there for lunch and the food and service were great. Very reasonably priced and they had a good lunch menu. It came with choice of soup, entree, regular or fried rice, and a spring roll. They don't have alcohol so if you want a drink you can't get one there. It is a small place so don't know how crowded it might get at dinner time. read more

Got take out here during the week. I was really happy with my food and experience:) Calling in at 7:45, I was given a 15-20 minute wait time. Arriving just before 8, I was surprised my order was ready. The fried rice was very delicious, with pork and vegetables in every bite :) read more

Jade Chinese Restaurant - 2. Roast Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

What they serve is definitely not authentic Chinese food. After spending 10 second looking at the menu, I wish we had gone to Panda Express instead. That's not the worst part... the meat they service in stir fried dishes comes with the size of half of your palm, we had to cut them into smaller pieces with the spoon lol. 2 stars for the good service. But not going back there. read more

Food was very delicious. Service was excellent highly highly recommend. Tasty and big portions read more

I ordered food through John (who handles catering) for a party. We arranged pickup times and the menu. Even though I asked more than once, he assured me that it would be ready on time and could be paid for on pickup. Well, that didn't happen. The staff knew nothing about the order and no food was ready. If you have catering needs, you'll want to go elsewhere. read more

Went to Jade Chinese. We had been there many times in years past for take out, but it had been years. So we decided tonight to stop in and have dinner. The food was amazing as always. We got the vegetable fried rice, vegetable egg foo young, sweet and sour shrimp, egg rolls and egg drop soup with won ton soup. Service was amazing and the food came out hot and fast. I work close so this is definetly going to be a restaurant we will be one we frequent from now on. read more

I've been coming here since about 2020 and I truly love the food every time. It's been a moment since I've come recently, but today we came into a very cute and updated lobby. Not only that, but there was a curly haired host who was very nice and the (owner I believe) was running the back for the most part. The egg drop soup is my personal favourite, but they currently have fun boba tea and lemonade options right now so it was a new and exciting experience. Love this place and will continue to return! I recommend the mango tea latte to take home !! read more

Very fast and amazing quality, went around dinner and it wasn't very busy, I got a very accurate wait time as well and restaurant was easy to find read more

Jade Chinese used to be a favorite. I had not been there in two years or so, maybe more. I was in the area with my mom and sister and decided to stop in for lunch. The food was not the same, fairly close, but not the same. The eggrolls were most notably different, as these seemed to be frozen, small spring roll type that can be found anywhere, including grocery stores. The eggrolls from the past were hand made and delicious. Again, the food was average, not bad but not good either. The service started off ok, with a young man being the only visible employee initially. He seemed pleasant enough, and took our order. However, upon return to our table he made a reference to videos of stupid white people being clumsy and proceeded to show us videos on his phone of people falling. He was asked to get us some refills and he left the table to our relief. When he returned the next time, he decided to tell us of a recent dating experience wherein graphic detail was used to speak about a sexual encounter. We quickly paid our check and left. I have tried to reach ownership or management three times since our visit a few weeks ago and each time I am told that no one is available to speak to me. Do yourself a favor, skip this place. It is not the same restaurant that it used to be, and no one who now runs it seems to care much. The women's restroom is piled with boxes and cleaning supplies and random things. Really weird and gross. I hope this review keeps people from having the absolutely awful experience experience that we had. read more

I'm going to be fair, came here thinking it was the old Jade so our expectations and experience were different than what we expected. First off it is under new ownership and the food is different. We had to get over that fact. So it is good, better than most ABQ Chinese. Is it as good as it was? not quite. Is the service better, why yes. Will I go again, I'm sure I will but not rushing back. So go and know it's not the same Jade you last ate and you'll probably be just fine. read more

Amazing! I incorrectly ordered something and called to say I had ordered incorrectly. I spoke with the owner and he was so kind. He remade my food and delivered it to my address. He went above and beyond. I will be visiting this place again and again. The food is amazing too with healthy options. read more

Our family loves this place. We're so happy that it's finally open for dine in the food is amazing. The stuff is amazing. We love the sweet-and-sour chicken. It's truly the best in the city. read more

We've been hitting the Asian Restaurants pretty heavily the last few weeks. This was no exception. Having come at the end of lunch rush we easily found a place to sit. Quick glance at the menu provided options not seen in quite awhile - Paper Wrapped Chicken, promptly ordered. A medium bowl of wonton soup was also ordered. Surprisingly large loaded with bbq pork, lots of wontons and the remaining usual ingredients. For entrees we got the Almond Duck - tender, delicious and not greasy and the Mongolian Beef - equally tender and delicious. Plenty of food to go around and still have some left for another meal. Service was excellent. One thing I noticed during our meal, they seem to do a fairly brisk business in take-out. There were quite a few orders picked up. We'll be making a few return visits here. read more

After coming here for years and being faithful patrons, they have lost us forever. The place was sold to new owners that changed all of the recipes for the worse. The chicken fried rice is so oily it is a dark brown color. It tasted so bad, we just threw it away. I get depressed every time I pass by. It is the end of an era. Now I need to find a new Chinese place in ABQ read more

Sad times for Albuquerque. Someone who knows the owners took over the store. They got a new cook who ruined all the old recipes. The rice is greasy and dark colored, not fluffy like before. The seasoning leaves an artificial aftertaste. You'd think they would have found it important to learn the old way before taking over. They'll likely lose most of their customer base. Also, you can't enjoy the experience of dining in house anymore, it used to be nice to do that sometimes but they're take out only now. This place is going down, fast. Terribly disappointed because it used to be the only good place in town. Those were the days. Farewell. read more

Amazing fried rice! They have great prices as well and huge portions. I got the vegetable fried rice and was able to split it into 3 meals!

Good, tasty food. Good quantity also. Only doing take out due to staff shortages. The lady attending to customers, taking phone orders, taking walk-in orders, delivering the food etc, all with a smile and many thank you so much you's, is absolutely wonderful. read more

Ordered the mapo tofu. Really terrible. Person who made it either does not know Asian cooking or doesn't care. Wrong ingredients in this dish like mushrooms and peas. Worse yet, peas were recently frozen. No flavor to it at all. Took 3 bites and threw it out. read more

Very disappointed in our take out meal last night. Got the food home and our almond chicken had NO almonds. The twice cooked pork was sweet instead of spicy and it came with only broccoli instead of the usual cabbage, peppers, onions. Something has changed here and it is not for the better, will not go back. read more

A gem of a place if you're looking for the yummiest Chinese food. We've been on the hunt for the best egg rolls in ABQ, and Jade wins. The size of the egg rolls and fry to crispy perfection was spot on. We only wish they offered them with pork! ‍ That would put them over the top for us! We had the PoPo platter for 2 and everything on it was delicious and so fresh (best we've had also!) I would come again just for this! Of course, we devoured it within minutes. We also had their fried rice with chicken and pork and it was not only abundant, but super fresh and delicious! Another big plus for us is that husband doesn't do white or yellow onions, so it was really nice to see that none of their dishes had any white or yellow onions. We are happy to drive across town to dine here and we will return soon. Maybe the next time we get there I'll be able to post pictures before I devour it all lol. Seriously though, you can't go wrong here - if you're looking for really good Chinese food, you've gotta try Jade. read more

Consistently delicious since I started eating here 2004. You can't go wrong with anything you order here.

Their food used to be so good. However, they apparently have changed cooks, and cooking style. Their fried rice is greasy and really has no taste. Their eggrolls have gotten smaller and extra greasy. Unfortunately they've gotten more expensive for smaller portions. The sliced barbecue pork used to be generous amounts of pork and now you get a few slices and it is like chewing rubber. They were a much better restaurant when they were located on Coors and the first few years that they were in their new location on Wyoming. Extremely disappointed with the last orders we have placed there. And unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

Love jades been going there for years. The food is good but I don't see the friendly warmth like before, I felt welcomed in, now I feel like a stranger and just a customer. Are you under new management? read more

We did take out and were sadly disappointed. My wife had Sesame Chicken and I had Orange Chicken. The chicken in each dish was dry and tasted like it was old and fried in old grease. The sauce in each dish was too sweet and did not stick to the chicken because it was very thin. There must be a scarcity of oranges because my orange chicken had three tiny, tiny, orange pieces. The hot and sour soup was just ok. The price was way too expensive for the quality of the food. The service was good and the food came out in an acceptable time frame. Long and short we will NOT eat here again. read more

Something has changed here. I called to talk to the manager and he said it's the cooks not the owners. The size of the containers are half the size, the quality and tastes went way is different and the homemade egg rolls are now spring rolls and still frozen inside. I've been a long time customer and willing to pay high prices for good quality. I will not be going back here. read more

Great place, food and people. I love this little restaurant a lot and visit when I can. I usually always go for orange chicken whenever I choose Chinese, but I recently got a kick for sweet and sour chicken and this is the place for it. Unlike other Chinese places, the sweet and sour sauce isn't overbearing and too sweet. Here, the sauce and chicken are great together. I often get the lunch specials, and each experience has been great. My server has been the woman who (may) run the restaurant and recently a younger boy. Both are very sweet people. The chef, whoever it is, makes great food. I seriously recommend this place for an affordable meal and a quiet place to eat, since they also offer takeout, not very many people dine in, which I enjoy because of the quiet scenery. Service is fast too! If you're unsure what to try, their orange chicken is pretty amazing, but honestly I love their egg drop soup the most and it's very tasty. read more

Jade Chinese Restaurant - This is the sweet and sour. Very very good sauce and a perfect amount of food! - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Four of us had dinner at Jade last night. They are back to dine in with a full menu of Chinese food. We had the Family Dinner for four of us which included a choice of soups, three appetizer items and four entree selections. Everything was excellent, service was fast and attentive, and we will be going back. The restaurant has been refurbished with new carpet and upholstery read more

Food was good, staff is very sweet and friendly and place is client friendly so all in all it was a great experience.

A new find and glad I did. Small restaurant next to DMV on Paseo del Norte. Off the large menu, my wife ordered the LoMein and I had the half of duck. The duck was perfect - too big to finish. Both portions were delicious and large. The wife of the owner is so friendly and accommodating. read more

Great food, kind workers who make sure to accommodate any modifications to your food. I also enjoy the peaceful and clean atmosphere. Love this place!! Recommend to everyone! read more

Amazing food and some of the kindest people ever - the prices are a but pricey but the serving sizes and delicious flavors make it worth it. We've been going here for 5+ years and it's always been great. read more

I went there for a takeout. my best friend recommended it. the service and the food was absolutely excellent. I would recommend it to anybody who likes Oriental food. I rated a 10 one being the lowest and 10 being the highest. and thanks to the owner for being so kind patient and he even gave me a bowl of excellent excellent. I believe it was egg drop soup that really helped my throat from my allergies. read more

Ordered one of the lunch specials. I liked that they gave you a choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. I always get the hot and sour if it's available. I didn't like the hot and sour. Too sweet and too thick. Almost like a barbecue sauce. It was a small cup, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The atmosphere is pleasant for a storefront type joint. Well maintained booths and tables. The broccoli beef was okay. Again, the sauce was too thick. The beef itself was excellent. Very tender. Service was excellent. Overall, just average. read more

I'm sorry but this place just does not taste good, their orange chicken, sweet-and-sour chicken, beef and broccoli are all very dry, the service is great, the rice is generally over cooked. And the price I think is absolutely outrageous for the lack of food quality. read more

Good Chinese food but VERY EXPENSIVE for what you get. On a positive note, their Chinese food is simple and always fresh with lots of vegetables. Service is also good. It seems that most of their business is takeout, and I've never seen the place even moderately full. There should be no problem getting a table if you want to eat in. My issue is that their prices have nearly doubled in the last three years. One order of chicken with snow peas was $7.95, then $11.99, and now (as of September 2021), it's $14.99. Same entree. Same size. All regular entrées are now over $15 a piece. We're not even talking about the chef specials. $15.75 for pork with veggies. $16.99 for orange chicken. Add an extra $1.50 if you want fried rice. Lunch was always amazing at around seven dollars a plate for a combo meal. Now, expect to pay $10.75 for a simple lunch entrée. I have always enjoyed their food, and we don't mind paying for quality, but spending over $60 (not including the COVID surcharge) for a family of four for basic takeout Chinese in styrofoam takeout boxes is a little much. I hope they take a look at that. read more

I am not typically a Chinese food lover, but joined some friends at Jade! I was definitely anxious about how my food why would be because Chinese restaurants definitely vary. I was very impressed with my orange beef and rice. I would definitely recommend this place (even as a picky eater). read more

Jade Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this place! It's good good, lots of it and priced right! Thank you for staying open! read more

Love having such a great locally-owned restaurant in the neighborhood. They were rather busy with several tables and lots of take out traffic. Took a little longer with them being short staffed (like everywhere else) but the food quality is still great! read more

Slow and pricy because they are so busy in the evenings and they have a COVID-19 surcharge. Call your order in and it may take up to 45-60 minutes. We had the chef special sizzling beef and onions, orange chicken extra spicy, and sweet and sour pork - over $50 Now the food was good. But not $50 good. And we had to wait for a non-itemized receipt in semi-legible scratchings. The lady up front was horribly busy and we gave her a tip anyway because we were already all in on this hand of poker. There were no utensils nor napkins. The extra spicy wasn't. If you have the time, go to Tsai's near Coronado Mall. The food is as good if not better with great soups, quick service, and better prices. read more
