I avoided this restaurant like the plague until new management took over and did some renovation a couple years ago. After that the food has been excellent. One detail though. What at other restaurants is Kung Pao style is Szechuan style at Jade Dragon, and vice versa, so just be aware. read more

Been a minute since I have eaten here. Jade dragon has gone in the toilet once again. $30 for a very small portion in the container! Only thing good was the crab rangoons. Old lo mein, old egg roll, and the dumplings were not fresh! Then they skipped me on the dumpling sauce! Biggest scam they started is no takeout menus! So you have no idea what the higher prices are. They won't update their online menu. I will not be returning anytime soon. Sad, because when they changed owners they were good at first. read more

Jade Dragon Restaurant - Daily combination. Pork lo mein, chicken fingers, egg roll, crab rangoon. Pork dumplings $30!!! - Chinese Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Food and service are superb! Been here a few times now with my boyfriend and it is very good Chinese food! Mai tais are great and the Wait staff/bar tender team are super nice. Highly recommend! It's often quiet in here when I've been in, but bar looks like it could get lively. If you want sit down, just remember the wall between dining and bar is mesh (if you don't want to be close to others drinking, ask for a further seat).. they will happily accommodate. Come here and order chicken fingers and mai tais! Also great for takeout. read more

Great food, consistent quality every visit too. Employees always welcoming. Crab rangoons and meats are great.

Delicious food, good prices. Johnny is such a funny guy, absent minded, but got to love him.

I'm surprised to see the negative reviews after eating a perfectly good meal from here. I notice most of the reviews are about dining in, which I can't comment on since I ordered delivery. Crab rangoon, egg drop soup, boneless pork, cashew chicken and rice. All were great. The mushrooms in the egg drop soup kind of threw me, and I love mushrooms. They just weren't right for my taste. I like that you are able to order condiments. I will check out their facility next time. read more

Stopped at this restaurant on way home from the outlet stores on Sunday. Food was good. Service was good. Quiet place. If you like sports then you would be happy. Every tv had football on. read more

We went for dinner with our aged 4 and 5 year old grand daughters. We were seated in dining room. Nonetheless did we realize that the wall between us and bar area was a thin piece of mesh. Our grand daughter's had to listen to the drunks next to us whose every other word was a cuss word. Never again will we eat there! read more

i absolutely love their crab rangoon and the wait time is very little. the inside is pretty nice too. i highly recommend their fried duck dumpling they are amazinggggg read more

Jade dragon food has greatly improved! We took about a 6 month hiatus from ordering here while we tried other local restaurants for our weekly Sunday meal. After reading recent reviews of other positive experiences we gave it another shot and we're so glad we did! They changed their menu slightly - but we've now enjoyed both take out and dine in within the past month. This time I got the General Gaus combo and my husband got the Cashew Chicken combo. The portions are still huge! We each got 3 meals out of our order. read more

Jade Dragon Restaurant - General Gau's with pork fried rice, chicken fingers, and chicken teriyaki. Cashew chicken with jasmine rice, egg roll and spring rolls. - Chinese Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

So many folks said that the Jade was good again, after years of decline, so we decided to try them again. So glad we did! They have a new chef and the food was excellent. Sesame chicken, veggie lo mein and steak teriyaki and crab Rangoon for my husband. Beef and broccoli, pork fried rice and chicken wings and chicken fingers. All of the food was stand out delicious. The only down side was my husband's meal came out and I had to wait about 10 minutes more for mine. They said the chicken wings take longer, so why didn't they make my husband's meal to match the timing of mine. Also, although our waiter was a sweetheart, when I asked for another round, he stood there and insisted I finish my drink while he waited! That has never happened before and I would strongly suggest they never do that again. Other than a few bumps, though, the food was wonderful. read more

we foolishly go back every once in a while hoping it has improved. It has NOT! I suspect the food was days old (our takeout order came out way too fast to be cooked then). Every item from the rice to the egg rolls were flat out nasty. We will never ever give them another chance again!! read more

After a very long avoidance, We tried Jade Dragon in Merrimack, NH. to say the least we were extremely pleased with the quality our meal, the waitress, the rejuvenated decor... BUT we were amazed that the overall stench that had permeated the restaurant for many years was totally gone.! we were promptly seated our order was taken quickly and efficiently our order arrived quickly, everything was freshly cooked, not warmed up and the prices were very reasonable I HIGHLY recommend the NEW JADE DRAGON!

Was there last night to see the Slakas Place was packed Sadly if you are no a regular You don't get service !!! Sitting at the bar waited over a half hr to order anything They are in need of happy, experienced waitstaff. My friends had to order food from to go and have it delivered to there table Sad Food was ok And cold read more

This by far is my favorite Chinese food to eat. The best in the north east. The chicken wings, crab rangoon and boneless spare ribs are just incredible and have them down in how to cook them. Especially the chicken wings they are so big compared to other places. I am from Merrimack and remember when George ran the place and would stop by the table to say hi every time we went there. Although it's different now a days to me is still great food and just a good place to eat!!! read more

I've never tasted prison food but suspect it isn't much different from the food here. The meat dishes were dressed in slimy sweet sauces that left one dish indistinguishable from the other. The chicken fingers were batter fingers. I might have been a bit more understanding if there was a rush of customers but this was not the case. The food reminded me of cafeteria food in grade school where "pizza" was an English muffin with American cheese and tomato sauce. At least this ersatz food was the result of budgetary restrictions. Not sure what Jade Dragon's excuse is. read more

Ok Jade is due for some VERY well deserved love. We're a simple family of 4, and none of us are afraid of enjoying a meal. Whenever we've moved, We tend to find our local-est bestest. Pizza, Chinese, Italian, Indian, etc... we just moved back to Merrimack and it will be tough to top Jade. Jade has been there ever since i can remember. It is SHAMEFUL how rough people have been on the reviews. It DOES have an unpleasant odor to the place walking in, which is likely a plumbing issue, but the food is VERY good and portions are *absurd*. At our 'old go to place', our order was a pupu for 3, and a rice or noodle side. That order meant We'd be guaranteed leftovers for the next day. I TOTALLY under estimated at Jade. I ordered our typical pupu for 3, lo mein and scallion pancakes. The amount of food was 2 1/2 times what we could eat. It was as good if not slightly better than Chinese food we've had in the past, and we literally had two days of meals, and lunch leftover on a 3rd day. And prices were right in line with anything we've had. I'm not sure if there is better close by, but also not sure we'll try. VERY good place!! read more

Could never get me to go here after 730pm as the police prey on cars coming from. I got pulled over after a lunch (no drinks) and was pulled over, they told me (and I quote); we saw you were at 'the jade' for awhile... Good fresh food, but this was the 3rd time I've gone in 1yr and /Nd time pulled over for me just 'being here' Is this a biker bar or something I'm not aware of? Either way, it's my last local visit. read more

Flavorful chicken lo mien, amazing atmosphere, and nice servers. Despite the many negative reviews, this is a Chinese restaurant gem in the Merrimack area. read more

Food was great, service was great, this is an underrated Merrimack NH classic. Would recommend to everybody traveling through the area or living here. Would give more than 5 stars if possible. read more

It's too bad that negative numbers of stars are not allowed. The food is so bad, here, that I wish it on Putin. This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in or gotten food from. It's inedible. Anybody that says otherwise is either nuts or on the take. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but you've been warned. read more

This restaurant sucks it smells bad i mean like s$&& like sh$&@ s$&& s$&&. They can at least fix that it ruins everything the food is acceptable the staff is average the places cleanliness is Pi** poor they should try to improve . And here's a tip don't use the bathroom it smells so bad I almost vomited twice in the same hour. read more

You get a lot of food for the price. Takeout is ALWAYS the same. In restaurant deals on beer. Trivia nights and other fun things to do like karaoke. East China closed, and we are happy about that because we wouldnt have found the Jade. read more

Jade Dragon has some really tasty Chinese food. It's not the healthy, feel-good-about-yourself stuff, but it's the delicious I-can't-stop-eating-but-probably-wouldn't-even-if-I-could kind of cuisine. Big, golden fried chicken fingers, sweet and smoky spare ribs with that delectable little char on the outside, plump and sweet beef teriyaki, humongous, creamy crab Rangoon, buttery lo mein, and crispy, sweet orange chicken. And, their general gao/chao/tso chicken is worth ordering too. Go! Eat! read more

Stopped in to get some take-out after a long flight back to Manchester. I just ordered some house special fried rice to go at the bar & had a beer while it was being prepared. Typical scene at the bar...regulars wary of the new guy who just walked in...but I'm fine with that...it's the same all over and it's not meant to discredit this place as the regulars were having a good time and harmless. The beer was ICE cold and the rice was still steaming hot by the time I got home (30 minutes later). Very good rice....will be back again to explore the menu a little more. read more

It was very quiet, almost empty with only one other couple when I visited. The waiter was very friendly but it was slightly awkward because he stood by, watching, waiting for us to be ready. I guess he was bored. No matter where I get Chinese I have to get crab rangoon, and theirs is to die for. The portions are large and everything I tried is good, except the General Gau's chicken - I find that chewy, cartilidge-y chicken is very common with Chinese food but it never fails to gross me out. Overall though it was good. read more

So here's my take on this restaurant! The food is always beyond fantastic and portion sizes are amazing for the price. There is only one thing that REALLY irritates me and that is the miserable woman at the front. I confronted her the other day when we ordered some dinner as the restaurant is supposed to close at 9, but she stops taking orders for the customers at 8:30 because she wants to close at 9:00 on the dot and send her employees home. She needs a serious attitude adjustment! It's been like this for years. If you're open til 9 then do your damn job! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! It smells like sewage. So just imagine what water they are using to cook your food. . It's was the most disgusting place I have EVER been to. read more

Every town has your bad Chinese place where the food is inedible, but the booze flows strong and the bad karaoke rules all. This is the case of Jade Dragon in Merrimack. There is no reason to come here unless you've already eaten and want to croon country ballad with a rowdy and drunken bunch of locals. Not my taste at all. read more

The good made me TERRIBLY sick! Wait staff was incredibly rude when no tip was included on my card (was leaving it in cash) He actually came back to my table to say "no tip ?!" When I was still sitting having a conversation. I would never go back! read more

Really wanted some good Chinese stopped in here, we got orange chicken and general tsaos with hot and sour soup. When the soup came out it was still cold.. so I'm assuming it's nuked in a microwave which is fine most people pre make a lot of soup but at least serve it warm.. my orange chicken was awesome I thought it would come with rice but I guess that's extra?? Interesting.. the general tsaos lacked flavor :/ probably wouldn't go again for the food but the drinks we would. read more

Known to the locals as simply, "The Jade". Most of The Jades business comes after 10PM on Friday and Saturday evenings since they are open until 1AM. This is the place to go after the other spots in town close for the night. There is a restaurant, and a bar section. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights there is karaoke in the bar. They draw a descent size crowd there. The food is OK, nothing great, but not too bad either. It's standard Chinese fare. Food is also served in the bar. The drinks are cheap and pretty strong. Chances are they'll have whatever game that is in season game on the several televisions. They usually have the sound turned off though. If you're going to the bar and smoke bothers you, don't even bother. read more

The old granny at the front desk has some serious temper issue. I can sense the tension from her the moment I walked in. I think she needs to learn some anger management. The take-out I had was actually not bad though . I think I will go back. And next time I will give her my "fk off" face while I wait. read more

The Jade has become a Merrimack institution over the years. If you're from the area, you're bound to run into some one you know. If you're looking for some Americanized Chinese food, you'll be stoked. And if you're looking for karaoke and dancing...I believe you should seek counseling. ;), but they offer this as well. Grab a seat. Hang out with some of the bar staff or meet some of the locals. It's an experience no matter what. Mention J. Matt D. to Randy the bartender and he'll provide you with invaluable beard care advice. Just don't listen to him if he starts going on about the Steelers. (No place is perfect.) read more

Food is always good. However I STRONGLY recommend you get take out. Try not to go in if you don't have to. If you do go in, you may want to keep your mask on even at the table as there is a terrible odor throughout the whole restaurant. It is more pronounce in the rest rooms and they seem to be the source. It is a gag worthy odor. So like I said the food is good the experience is terrible and nauseating. Makes you wonder about the food quality but it tasted fine. read more

I've gotten take out from here many a time and it's always been good. I actually went in and sat down for lunch today. I had one of the combo platters consisting of chicken chow main, pork fried rice and beef teriyaki. Rice was good but kind of dry, chow main was too soupy beef teriyaki was really good. Also had spicy buffalo wings, they were good not really that spicy. Overall, I'd say this place is a lot better than your average cheap chinese restaurant but not amazing either. I've never been for the night scene, but I've heard it's the place to be. read more

Best Mai tai ever to be had in here! Lets be honest it's pretty divey in here but it's the best kind of divey. The food is typical takeaway fair but if you choose to eat in it always comes out quickly and you get to experience the bar area with all of the interesting shall we say characters in here. I wouldn't want to hang out here as a single female but come in with friends or your partner and soak up some great Mai tai's average food and great people watching. read more

Crusty rice and sewage smell in the bathroom. Not the worst, but definitely not the best.

I enjoy the strong mai tai and good appetizers. I have not tried any of their plates. Service is friendly and attentive.

I have been here more than several times, let's say. The Jade Dragon serves a traditional American Chinese menu with some newer items mixed in. We have always been more than satisfied with the food, beverages, and service over the years. No place you frequent is 100 percent 100 percent of the time, but the Jade does better than most. They have always served a great Mai Tai and other asst drinks. They even have a nice assortment of Mai Tai flavors available. Make sure you try more than the traditional pupu platter and you might find the things like the spicy chicken, spicy shrimp, Singapore rice noodles or chow foon could win you over. Oh, spicy green beans are great also. They still serve bone in spare ribs that are tasty also. They are economical, tasty, and attentive. A must try for you to find a place you can visit again and again. read more
