    Drunken Noodles
    Harsh C.

    Came here for a quick bite as this place had good lunch options. But the food here was very bland even after requesting for an increase in spice level. I got take out but the service was pretty fast and the location and ambience were pretty good. I got the drunken noodles but they were okay. Unfortunately, the food did disappoint so I don't really recommend going here.

    This was a very solid/OK experience? One order of General Tso's chicken combo cost me around 12 dollars. The food was ready in under 10 mins (called while I left my apartment, and it was ready on the way back). Its quick food, not so expensive, and one of the more popular chinese restaurants in the area. But it is not anything special per-say. In many ways, my take out meal seemed to be lacking in flavor. Each bite seemed to be missing something, and I have had many better takeout meals. It just did not seem to be the same as my typical order of General Tso's Chicken, and in many ways was underwhelming. The chicken was warm and nice, but again, just tasted slightly off. The rice could have been cooked a bit better. I could tell by the taste that it was not fully cooked. Its a quick grab-and-go place. The staff was nice and straight-to-business, was in-and-out within seconds. Portions are pretty large, and one combo served two meals for me. There is an upcharge if using credit (which I wished I knew ahead of time).

    For this dude, Jade Garden will be an option if my go-to place isn't available and only Chinese delivery will do. They serve up a select number of things really well. But the majority of what I tried (which was a few meals in total) are either some variation of but not quite on par with an American Chinese classic...or simply lacking flavor. If the prices better matched the quality and there was better menu consistency, I'd think about rotating between them and other area options. But when they're charging as much if not a little more than places I like better? Curry Chicken (chose medium spicy): it's a really pretty, healthy dish. I love all the fresh veg, and the chicken is tender. However, this isn't curry chicken. It's a rather good version of turmeric chicken. But there isn't proper curry flavor, it was seriously one note (which a curry is not) and there was hardly any spice (to be fair, I may just have to order it at a higher spice level. But medium spicy should have something going on). To JG's credit, once I reset my mind to think "turmeric chicken", it made for a good lunch. Beef Lo Mein: Beef was decently tender. But, overall, not a lot of flavor, even after I added chili oil I had in the fridge. That helped...but it was a run of the mill dish. Chicken Rice Soup: this they do right. Nice, fragrant broth, and the rice is cooked so it doesn't absorb all the broth if you leave it overnight. Not much chicken, though. Egg Drop Soup: this they do really well. I'd argue better than my favorite spot. Perfect broth consistency, good flavor, and they do not skimp on the egg. Gyoza: same you'd get in the frozen aisle or in that little sushi section in the grocery store. Fried Chicken Nuggets: ya gotta check out the pic I posted. JG isn't serving up classic fried chicken nuggets with rice. It's sweet & sour chicken without the sauce. The plus side of their take on this item is that they give you a lot more than 10 pieces! But if you ordered it to save for the next day (like I did), it's a surprise to see something which isn't going to reheat well since that batter has to be eaten fresh. Or, flat out, if you want that crumb breaded chicken? You're not getting what you ordered. Also, the chicken fried rice had no flavor. I was adding duck sauce and mustard to every bite. Same with the chicken. The batter had no flavor. For me, a solid fried chicken nugget w/fried rice is great without anything added. Chicken with Broccoli: this was solid. Tender chicken. Broccoli a little softer than I like, but still good (and probably perfect for a lot of people who don't want their broccoli with as much bite to it). JG is serving up actual chicken and broccoli (instead of broccoli w/chicken), and that sauce is decent. If they're the best of the available options at some point in the future when I'm jonesin' for Chinese delivery, I'd be satisfied ordering the chicken and broccoli and egg drop soup again. If I wanted a healthy lunch and/or was on an anti-inflammatory kick, I'd be down to order the "Curry" Chicken again in a heart beat. I'd probably order another chicken and rice soup while I'm at it. And I might even give some other dishes a try to see if I can find something else I like. Overall, I definitely hoping others enjoy more than I did, and that if I try again I'll get some pleasant surprises to keep me working through the menu.

    Craving for Chinese take out food when I happen to be near the Columbia medical center? Jade Garden seems to be the place to satisfy my rare craving. Quick service and reasonable prices. Lunch special available 7 days a week which is great. It also comes with soup or soda. There are a few tables so you can choose to eat in or just do take out. Pepper steak over rice: we opted for brown rice and the steak was very tender. Either my boyfriend was just super hungry or the food was good or both because he finished the entire order. Singapore chow mei fun: pretty standard and didn't have too much of the curry spice as in some places.

    Sesame seed chicken, fried chicken, snapple, and an african american man

    Incredible service! Fast and easy and delicious! Definitely try the sesame seed chicken with fried rice. The egg rolls are phenomenal! Would come again.

    The delivery was really quick. We ordered three small dishes and one chicken combo dish, and there was plenty to eat. General Tso's chicken tasted great, however the small dishes (lo mein, vegetables, and the fried rice) were lacking in flavor.

    Ashley S.

    They have good Chinese food here. I often order the shrimp lo mein or shrimp with mixed veggies. They have lunch specials which come with soup or spring rolls, and I always get the hot and sour soup which is delicious. I never order in advance. I just stop in and order, and they usually have my order ready within 10 minutes. I will continue to come here when I crave Chinese food, especially their amazing hot and sour soup.

    Friendly people land good service. You can't go wrong with the lunch special for a cheap meal. Def worth stopping by to fill you up.

    Ok. The food is good. But if you're used to "hood" Chinese food this isn't it. Sorta bland. Keep in mind the area. It's aii for the price.

    I used to enjoy coming to 191 Pescadería, but lately the quality of the food has dropped…read moretremendously. The freshness, flavor, and attention to detail that once made this place stand out just aren't there anymore. Another major issue is the service at the register. I've noticed that the cashiers treat customers differently based on how they're dressed. If they assume you have money because of your clothes, they don't hand you your change -- instead, they quietly put it into the tip jar without your consent. Tipping should always be a customer's choice, not something taken without asking. It's disappointing to see a place that had so much potential decline like this. I hope management addresses these issues soon, because right now it's hard to recommend.

    Absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. Also seems like crack…read moreheads get a fix in the back. I walked in to get a fried red snapper and some shrimp on a stick, it was a movie first they have a shell chandelier that looks like it has dirt and dust from 1995 it's disgusting right over the food. While waiting for my order I saw a train of crack heads exit the facility one decided to stay and converse (more like bother) customers who were waiting to order, the staff just looked and stayed quiet. After that I got up and left I felt extremely uncomfortable and it was too ghetto and too dirty for me. Sorry but I used to go to this spot back in the day and I don't know what happened to it. Washington Heights is becoming the gutter you see as many crack heads as you see rats roaming the streets at all time of day. Definitely a hard pass.
