    Mongolian beef, eggplants with shredded pork, and shrimp with peapod
    Jessica M.

    There are only a handful of Chinese restaurants surrounding the Valpo area and among my favorite is Jade Garden II. It's as good as it gets in Northwest Indiana. The restaurant is owned and run by Cantonese people. It was always pleasant to converse with them and have them make customized, authentic Cantonese dishes for my friends and me. I especially enjoyed their eggplant with shredded pork, salt and pepper shrimp, and shrimp with peapod. The portions are so large that three dishes for three people were more than enough. The sauces were very thick and flavored, and not hazed like some other nearby restaurants. The shrimp used are also jumbo as opposed to the miniature ones that some would try to cheat of its customers. Jade Garden II is located on Calumet Ave past Town & Country. So if you're ever in the area buying groceries, you should stop by Jade Garden II for some savoring Chinese food. They have a parking lot and it's a very quiet, family-style restaurant.

    Love the aquarium.  Kids especially.

    We have been fans of Jade Garden takeout for years but just visited with a group of friends and was very impressed with their recent remodeling too. Very happy to see that the aquarium survived the change which our children always loved! My wife loves the milder items of Moo Shu Chicken and Hot Singapore Chow Mai while I like the hotter items of Spicy, Szechuan, or Mongolian chicken or beef. They can adjust the heat as you request and I always order extra spicy. Today, however, I tried General Tso's Chicken because the menu says "chicken sauteed in a delightful chef's brown sauce" but, sadly, it was deep-fried and definitely NOT sauteed as described. It was very good, and slightly sweet, but not what I wanted (but my wife liked it!). And it is also disappointing that their red wine is refrigerated, not simply chilled. But all-in-all, great quality, preparation, and portions. As a bonus, after dinner our server gentleman, Xiong, did a few magic tricks. He fooled all of us!

    Unfortunately this is not a place I can recommend. It started off great with tea and the best egg drop soup. Egg rolls and service was also good. However that is where the goodness ended. Food was bland, cold and almost no veggies in my chop suey. Don't go here to eat food -- only to drink tea and maybe some soup I

    Had takeout recently. Food was just ok. Lacked flavor and the sweet & sour sauce tasted weird. Probably won't be back.

    I ordered beef lo mein and the noodles were over cooked. I wasn't impressed with the dish and the flavor was a bit off.

    I really like their fried rice- especially since they allow you to add bean curd (tofu) upon request. Cheap and fast.

    Panda Express in Valparaiso has some ill-suited servers. Today, for the first time in my life I had…read moreto tell this Asian young man (I am Asian too) to give me a larger portion. I said he was stingy. I think, he was thinking just about money. This is the second time he has served me with a bad attitude. Last time, he lumped everything (rice, super greens and mushroom chicken) in one bowl. I did not like it. So today I asked him to put the super greens in a separate container. He put a tiny portion in a tiny container. When I pointed out that the portions he put in the bowl (chow mein and mushroom chicken) were too little, he pointed out that this was because the super greens were in a separate container. He then proceeded to serve me more chow mein -- not chicken mushroom -- probably because chow mein is cheaper. Imagine the mindset. Should he be working in the food serving business? NO, not at all. He should be working in a bank. When you offer food to a person, even in a restaurant, you should do it with grace , courtesy and respect. It was difficult for me to enjoy today's meal and I may never return to Panda Express!
