We have been going here often for many years, often to the Jade Bar next door for table service. We have mostly been getting the Japanese sushi, since we had not been impressed with the Chinese food here. We most often would get The Crazy Scientist Roll. But lately we have been trying some of the entries on the large Chinese menus, including the authentic menu. We have been surprised by how good some of them are. The Fish with Chili Flakes on the authentic menu is a winner, as are the Singapore Style Rice Noodles and the Tofu and Fish in Spicy Sauce. We also very much like the Steamed Shrimp Dumplings as appetizers. If you have not been happy with their food in the past, I suggest that you give them another try. Since their menus now are so large, it does take some experimenting to find the dishes you will like best. We are now happy we have made the effort. read more

this is an old restaurant that still exists in lawrence. i believe it is more than thirty five years. the place is getting bigger and more spacious and they offer many variants of foods now. anyway, taste is just mediocre except for crab rangoon ~ it is always good... read more

Good Kung pao chicken! But far, far too much celery. Any amount of celery is too much, but this was... a cartoonishly large portion of celery. All the Buffalo Wild Wings locations in the state of Kansas couldn't pile that much celery on a single plate. The celery in Jade Garden's Kung pao chicken lunch special could sustain a small rabbit family for a year (a small rabbit family, mind you, is like 40 rabbits) read more

Location: towards the west of Lawrence. Small shopping place with several stores. Ambiance: Family oriented, but they also offer karaoke. Food: it is good. They offer traditional Chinese and americanized. I would go for the authentic food. Service: outstanding. Alan is very friendly and customer oriented. read more

Jade Garden - Crab Rangoon, fried rice, chicken. Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Every now and again, my wife wants to eat here... sushi isn't bad, but don't carry out. Eat in, the food is mediocre... take out is for crap. Low grade dog food. I always order generals chicken, extra spicy. And it's never spicy, nor enough sauce. The best thing about the dish tonight was the broccoli was cooked well. Chicken was flavorless and over cooked. Yes, pic included. A long time Lawrence restaurant that has gotten lazy. I agree once or twice a year so my wife can have sushi, but other than that, this place isn't worth your time or money. Stay away, or eat in and have a 50/50 chance of quality. I have to at least give one star to post, but it didn't deserve that. read more

Jade Garden - Generals chicken this evening. Or burnt chicken jerky. Either way, avoid it. - Chinese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

teriyaki chicken was very flavorful and good rice, also tried the princess roll, everything was good but I was not a fan of their tempura flakes maybe it's just me but i did not like the flavor. Sushi itself was good and good sauces. we also had the appetizer combo and it was great fried edamame, shrimp, and spring rolls were amazing and the chicken on a stick was pretty good too. read more

Service was excellent as usual we come here often for dinner tonight was so different it was soggy not very good the first time I did take it home so disappointed hopefully next time time is better read more

Place used to be good idk what happened. Fried rice was so bad not even my dog would eat it. Chicken was chewy, we spent 40 dollars and went to bed hungry. read more

Terrible, I had been to Jade at least 5 years ago and it was terrible then. Poor service and food quality. With a lack of restaurants open this thanksgiving, we decided to try it again in hope of improvement but no chance. Visually the dishes look good but that is where it all end. read more

Allen is an amazing bartender. Whenever I'm in town, I come here. I've never had anything less than a delicious meal. Want a nice bar to go to? Check. Need a private karaoke room to show off your beautiful voice? Check. Are you interested in being daring and trying some classic Asian dishes while your friends want sesame or orange chicken? Check! I always order the crispy pork intestine which is awesome. The pork spring rolls today were excellent and the meat inside isn't overly diced up.. it tastes like quality fresh pork. My date had Shanghai noodle bowl with bok choy and a little bit of mushroom. It was also excellent. Can't wait to come back again. read more

If I'm having or had a bad day, I order Jade Garden and it is instantly better. It's yummy and comforting and perfect!

I would give this more of a 2.5/5 rating. Most Asian food is average and this was that. Not great but not bad. The fried rice was slightly below average, lacked flavor and tasted more like brown rice. Not to mention they don't give you much rice. I had the General Tso chicken, the sauce was very good, however I prefer smaller bits of chicken that look less like meatballs. That being said the chicken was still fine in texture. The service was friendly and quick. I would return here if my friends wanted to go but this would not personally be my choice of Asian food. read more

Excellent food. Left the table to use bathroom with half a plate of food, which I wanted to take home. When I returned, table was cleared off. Luckily they had not thrown out my plate, but rice was gone and the drink. This was after 4 p.m. on a Thursday night. Only 3 other people in the restaurant. Plenty of open tables! Why the rush to clear off the table? Please slow down. read more

This restaurant is the local equivalent of Disney. There are many different varieties and things to try. A person will never be bored in this restaurant. The first time I went here I was overwhelmed by the menu. I thought it was extensive and that was BEFORE I learned there was a second menu of Japanese food. I did not dare look at that menu, though, because I was still working my way through Menu #1. So many offerings- soups, salads, appetizers, vegetable dishes. Rice and noodle dishes, ramen meals, and so many other goodies. I have had a sampling of some of the items and have not ever been disappointed. The food has been just as described, fresh, hot and served quickly. The owners, Alan and Lisa, are very accommodating and they truly want you to enjoy your dining experience. There also seem to be quite a few regulars that come here, too. Regular customers are a great sign for any business. The restaurant is big and spacious. The decor is nicely done and the colors blend together well. Although it is a big restaurant, you do not feel overwhelmed and there is still a living room atmosphere. One thing I like about this restaurant is that it is not adorned with fake Asian motifs. Everything is nicely done. There is plenty of parking, as well. This restaurant is in a big strip mall and parking is never an issue. The prices are reasonable and nothing is outrageously priced. The quality of the food is good and everything is fresh and freshly prepared. The food is not the only thing they offer here, either. There is a karaoke bar for the adventurous and there are many rooms for small group gatherings. There seems to be a number of different activities that are offered in the bar area. The bar has an extensive selection of wines and liquors to try, as well. Reasonably priced, easy to access, fresh and hot food, well stocked bar. Honestly, is there anything else? read more

The food was just about inedible. We order the sesame chicken which was cooked to the consistency of cardboard. The white rice was overcooked. The crab rangoon wraps were tough and hard to chew. read more

Jade Garden - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

I lived in Lawrence from '88-2010, and would have rated Jade Garden as best in class. I ordered today (Orange Chicken & General Tso (picture attached if possible). They were identical (and horrible) except the Orange Chicken had a couple Orange peels and the General had one pepper. When I spoke with (what I assumed was an owner) she told me the order was correct, and I should have ordered something that tasted better. Amazing disappointment from a place that was formerly wonderful. I did notice the has "Best of Lawrence" awards for 2nd or 3rd place. I'll seeks #1 for a decent meal. read more

Jade Garden - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Soooo, my goal is to hit up all the Asian spots in Lawrence whether they have good ratings or not. Jade Garden was on the list and I'm glad I got them checked off. I would give this place a solid 2 stars for the taste and quality of their food. It's not terrible, it's more okay tasting. However, if you like Panda Express, you'll like this place. The decor is nice and they do have a large menu for you to select from. They also have a karaoke bar next door. I'm sure that would be fun for late night food and bleaching your heart out. We got spicy dumplings, which was pretty good. If I were to ever come back, this would be the only thing I would get. We also got spicy garlic pork. It was meh. We also got the duck noodle soup. It was underwhelming. I also tried the boba milk tea. Tea was not bad, boba was horrible. read more

crab Rangoon over-cooked. 2 vegetable spring roll were the smallest I have ever seen. Two vegetable spring rolls each a staggering 2 inches long for the "reasonable" sum of $3.50 plus tax. what a rip-off. read more

I ordered the sesame chicken. The chicken breading was so thick and soggy. It was difficult to find the chicken it was so little. I ended up removing the soggy breading and eating what little meat there was. The rice was meh. No real flavor. My husband had the Teriyaki chicken. I didn't like the flavor of that but my husband thought it was just ok. He felt the same about the rice as I did, no flavor. Rangoons were ok. Overall, we spent quite a a bit of money for a meal that we didn't really enjoy. Ended up throwing the rice away. Won't give a second try. read more

Order and barley got any chicken more veggies and rice then meat at this point I paid $20 for veggies and rice

Food is quite good. We do a lot of takeout at Jade Garden. Service is good and staff friendly. The amount of food you get in an order is amazing. Love their Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon. I could make a meal with just those two items. I have always liked anything I ordered because everything is very tasteful. read more

Absolutely terrible and overpriced Don't go here!!! Worst tasting food ever, greasy and they use soy sauce as main ingredient for everything practically Bleh read more

Excellent service and delicious food!! The Singapore noodle dish is phenomenal and the egg rolls are top notch! I also had the egg drop soup and was very pleased. Lastly, the bubble teas here are super yummy with lots of flavor choices. Highly recommend all around!!! read more

I ordered zha jiang men and mapo tofu(not sure the name) and mu husband ordered chicken fried rice. Fried rice was just ok but my dish was....... horrific. They were so salty and too greasy that I thrown away rest of half. Not going back. read more

I never ever have written a review. And hate folks who do just to impose their opinion. But I have to make an exception on this one so it doesn't happen to anyone else. The egg rolls tasted off when I ordered some this past Saturday. I ignored it and ate them anyway because hey were all human and have off days. But I have been incredibly sick since. Throwing up and can't keep anything down. Please be careful. Hopefully my experience helps you guys check on stuff better. read more

The service is super unprofessional, they provide service to a college campus with TERRIBLE wait times and expect someone not to cancel their order at least ONCE. I do not appreciate the threatening texts sent by their establishment to my phone, on top of the noodles being dry all the time anyways. Would not recommend this place if you don't have patience for rudeness. read more

Got sesame chicken and the sauce tasted burnt and the chicken sauce was almost black as a result. I didn't eat very much due to the poor taste, and got a terrible stomach ache afterwards. Now I'm in the midst of full blown food poisoning and needless to say I won't be returning in the future. read more

love the vegetable fried rice. The best Chinese food in Lawrence . I am contact back here for sure.

do not get anything off of the sushi menu. Below is a picture of the salmon nigiri I ordered. The rice underneath the fish was about the size of my fist while the "salmon" (if you can even call it that) was as thin as a piece of paper. My friends and I also ordered several rolls that were mostly just rice. None of us could finish them because of the way our stomachs began feeling from the small amount of fish that WAS there. We each ordered a different kind of soup--miso, egg drop, and hot & sour-- and they were either subpar at best or straight bad tasting and smelling. Like cmon miso soup?!? Honestly i can't recommend this place to anyone. Super overpriced for the LOWEST quality of ingredients I've ever seen at a restaurant. Huge scammers. Needs to go prob. read more

Great place for Chinese food and lunch specials are very delicious. However I feel that the lunch specials should include an appetizer like a egg roll read more

Ordered 2 dishes and two appetizers (egg rolls and spring rolls) via Menufy. Order came, and egg rolls were missing, and (as at first appeared) one main dish 's styrofoam had a whole in it, and had leaked all over the other. Talked to owner, who said she'd supply the missing egg rolls and replace the leaking entree, but not the other. I looked more closely at the mess, and discovered that the second entree's styrofoam case was broken, too. When owner informed of this, she told me she now didn't believe a word I said, and wouldn't make good any of our losses. Never had trouble with them before, but will never be doing business with them again. read more

Forget you Jade Garden. This is the last time I let you take my money. The last time was off hours so I gave you some grace. I was close by and hungry for Chinese. $9 for a lunch special would be fine. Rice is still cheap enough to not be so stingy with it, at least heat it up. It's dry and crunchy. 5 bites of chicken, really? Plus it's stringy and tough, with weird doughy filler. No side with it. Crab Rangoons $4 for three. Soup a bowl please, another $4!? No tofu in it, no veggies. $$18 dollars for a quick lunch? Never again. read more

Always love each experience at Jade. Staff is welcoming and loved every dish I've had! Plus! They have a addition for the nighttime crowd for drinks and karaoke! 10/10! read more

Great pho soup! Everything had exceptional temperatures- hot food hot and cold food cold!

Club Jade and Jade Garden are terrific. The food is great (try the ramen bowl here -- it's AWESOME) and the service is always the best. Alan, Lisa, Vincent and staff are always happy to answer questions or tweak a dish to make it a unique experience for you. Ask for the Chinese menu -- there are some terrific gems there! read more

I can't speak for the Beef with Broccoli, Egg Drop Soup or Chicken Lo Mein. I suspect it's just like it is... here... and there... and every other Chinese joint in Lawrence. Or Kansas City. Or Topeka. Don't eat the stuff. I come here when I want to get outside my comfort zone a little because they have an extensive Chinese only menu and you can order off of it just like yours truly: skinny ass, middle-aged midwestern white boy. Today, a spectacular pork ribs hot pot brimming with vegetables and enough heat--no, make that a HELL of a lot of heat, probably the hottest, spiciest dish I've ever had in the city limits of Lawrence and it was fine. Just the antidote I needed after being cooped up for a few days post Christmas with the streets, driveway and sidewalks packed with snow and ice. Red chili oil bubbling to the top fueled by the sterno beneath. The pork ribs tender and packed with flavor, possibly a hint of cumin, nicely seared, bone and cartilage in, a good thing! Plenty of assorted vegetables: onions, bok choy, celery, carrots and more. A dish that makes you happily sweat and leave knowing you won't need to dine again for the rest of the day (post-lunch). Want tripe, intestine soup, pig's feet in hot pot, chicken feet and beyond? Blood in your soup? You can get it here on the Chinese menu. They also dabble in some Korean, Japanese, Thai. Wait, it's just starting to get weird--there are Hispanic guys cooking in the back. Don't be surprised, the great cooks in this country come from south of the border. They also cook in my favorite Vietnamese, Italian and Steakhouse in town. Next up: have to try the lamb cumin dishes that aren't listed as such but must be Xi'an influenced. If you come: your typical strip mall Chinese restaurant. Nothing fancy but a nice touch is two large tables that seat 8-10 and are elevated, often packed with Asian students from KU on weekends. Good for a large party. No alcohol on the menu. Priced moderately, large portions (my meal could have, should have fed two). Ample parking. read more
