    The ample beef lo mein...
    Jenna H.

    First time back here after moving out of the area. It use to be pretty decent a dozen years ago. Right after opening the bag we thought we were missing items as there were mostly small containers. The portion sizes were disappointingly small, the beef lo mien came in the box usually used for the white rice side. It was also just greasy with no flavor, even the soy sauce didn't help. The sesame chicken was the best of the meal but was over cooked and tough. The pad Thai was not very good compared to any other I've had, strange vinegar smell, It just wasn't good. I guess the egg rolls were fine though but that bars pretty low. Things are expensive these days and it's frustrating to blow money on subpar disappointing meals. Should've just made anything at home, or went to Wawa across the street.

    Hot and sour soup FTW.
    Mike F.

    Caddy-corner from Wawa on Lancaster Avenue lies Jade Garden, a Chinese/Japanese restaurant that remains oft overlooked despite being located in the midst of one of Shillington's busiest intersections. This place is by no means fancy. The decor is horribly outdated, and the chairs and tables look straight out of a 70s diner. It's not quite down to the level of folding metal chairs, but it's close. There are booths, thank goodness, so try to grab one of those. Someone please explain to me how when you order soup to-go from Chinese restaurants, it comes in giant containers, but when you order soup for dine-in, it comes out in a tiny tea cup and costs the exact same? I think I'm going to start ordering a to-go order of soup when I sit down and just crack that baby open as soon as it comes out while I'm still waiting for my entree. The soup *is* good, though. Which is why I want more of it! The hot and sour soup is hearty and has nice heat to it. My Chinese comfort food is lo mein, and this place nails it. Large chunks of meat adorn an imposing pile of noodles dotted with green onion, water chestnuts, carrots, and bean sprouts. The balance of soy sauce, garlic, and onion flavor are always key. Many places seem to be just slightly off in this regard. But Jade Garden has the formula down pat. In addition to standard dining room seating, there's a sushi bar towards the back of the restaurant. Lunch can be hectic, as there is only one server on who's responsible for all front of house duties. They play some funky Chinese music here. There are some some classic Asian tunes with the string instruments and stuff, but then the next song could be some thumping modern Chinese pop song by the Asian Backstreet Boys. It's wild.

I'll be honest, I didn't know much about this place going in, but I'm really glad I went and I'll definitely be back. Walking in, the first thing you'll notice is a beautiful, large fish tank built right into the wall on your right. The restaurant is dim and upscale-feeling, but still very family-friendly and not loud or overstimulating, so you can actually have a conversation. They have both booths and tables, and the space is very open and spread out. As a parent, you can even strategically seat your family in view of the fish tank or the windows to give the kids something to look at. It's great for a casual family dinner, a date night, or even a birthday celebration. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with no ramps, you can roll right in to your table. It's located in a plaza but set apart, so parking was never an issue. Plenty of spots, including handicap parking up front with just a short walk to the entrance. They have a solid variety on the menu including alligator bites, burgers, pasta, salads, and more. It is on the higher end price wise. Most entrees start around $14 and up, and even the kids meals begin at $8.90. The cocktail menu is extensive and the dessert menu is worth a look too. They also have a lunch menu where prices vary a bit more favorably. I ordered the Coastal Cheddar cheeseburger burger with no tomatoes and it was excellent. Very fresh, well seasoned, and served with shoestring fries that were equally on point. They also bring out a ciabatta loaf with butter to start, which was a really nice touch. Food came out quickly (always a plus). The staff is genuinely incredible. There's a tag team mentality where anyone on the floor can help you, refill your drink, or check on your table. My server was very attentive, and even when they got busy someone always stepped in. No reservations needed, at least when I went which was on a Sunday around 1pm. Highly recommend!

    Excellent food! The soup flight was a great experience. My…read moredaughter enjoyed the crab corn chowder best. It was a bit too peppery for me to fully enjoy. My favorite was the Lobster Bisque. It was creamy and deliciously balanced. The clam chowder tasted like "old soup" as per my daughter's review. It was OK, but did taste like it was canned and therefore we didn't eat more than a few spoonfuls of it. (The crab and lobster soups were gone.) We both thoroughly enjoyed the gator bites. They were well prepared and very tender. My daughter enjoyed stated that she was surprised it reminded her more of chicken than what she had expected. The dipping sauce added a nice touch and was not too peppery or spicy. It was well balanced. The seafood gnocchi was filling and flavorful. My daughter enjoyed it and had enough leftover for another meal the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster roll and ate the whole thing. There was an abundance of fries, which I did not eat. They were good, but did have a bit more of a greasiness than I prefer. The drinks were typical Coke products, which wait staff were attentive to keeping filled. The ambiance is a great place for a casual quality meal with family, friends, work colleagues, or a date. The salt water tank in the "lobby" is always nice to look at. The place is always clean and well maintained. The booths are spacious and you can talk comfortably without being crowded by other patrons. I love this place because the food is always good and the atmosphere is calming with the dim lighting.

    Passing through town, we stopped for an early dinner. At 4:30 we expected the restaurant to be…read moreempty .... but NOOOOO. The place was jumping. We were happy they could seat us. My husband and I assessed Austin's differently. He ordered prime rib which he said was nothing short of perfect. Cooked medium rare as requested, tender, juicy -- he savored every bite. I scanned the menu. Nothing jumped out at me. (I generally don't gravitate to steakhouse-type restaurants.) I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. My point of comparison is Longhorn's which offers more of a bang-for-a-buck, and in my opinion better tasting ribs. Not to say that Austin's aren't good. They are. Based on the popularity of Austin's, it's clear management knows what they're doing. But I think a small salad and baked potato should be available with the price of the entree -- not worth the extra $7 I was going to be charged. The salad is listed as 'field greens,' -- which it's not -- but reading the menu you'll see they mean iceberg and romaine. The salad was good, enhanced by their garlic ranch dressing. We washed down our meals with well-priced drinks: merlot ($8.90) and Blue Moon ($6.90), then splurged on dessert. Austin's flourless double chocolate brownie a la mode is very rich. One order for two adults is plenty. Austin's is aptly described as a family restaurant. A lot of kids. A lot of noise. Service is friendly and on-the-ball. While not my kind of restaurant, if prime rib is your thing -- this could be the place!

First crisp winter winds in late November ventured us to warm our bellies- What better way than with a drink and a soup! We decided on West Brew. There was a crowd around as we entered and was quite full for our seating at 6pm. We sat at the last 2 seats left, at the bar. Various unique decisions towards drinks- PA local liquors, some of Broken's recipe beers, bubble tea and sakes- how fun! My husband ordered the Passionfruit Green Tea (spiked- love this idea!) and I tried a Sake flight. The bubble tea came in a reusable Takkii tumbler. Sweet and fun. My sakes were intro'ed and each described on a tasting card. Sakes aren't seen everywhere, so it was great to have the chance to try. Then we ordered food. Needed to sample and see- So we started with the Appetizer Bento Box. This arrived quickly and presented tastefully. Freshly fried. But fried just all tasting the same. Including the gyoza. The shrimp tempura was a recommend. The tempura batter was not heavy or chewy, it was flaked. The seaweed salad needed brightness in acid. Overall, the app- good. If craving a fried feast, get it. We put in for our ramen bowls at the time of the app order. I ordered the Shoyu bowl and my husband the Spicy Fried Chicken Ramen. After the app was cleared, my ramen came within a few minutes. However, we eat when full party is served. So I sat, warm bowl calling.....since my husband was not served. Sat and stared. We stayed waiting for another 15 minutes and his finally arrived. Eating with my eyes for so long, my ramen bowl looked great. Then discovered how it tasted in comparison..... Best word is lackluster. Ramen - give me a broth. A power broth. Flavor, bang! This flavor boo. The broth needed longer development and depth. For both of our bowls. The soft boiled eggs were chewy-gooey soy in a good way. This was our favorite bite of the bowls. The chicken for my husband's had no spice and appeared exactly as the same fried chicken bites in the app sampler. Here's where it lied with the ramen- as served, it was good. Once it sat it was better. We were quite full from the app, so we had large takeaways for the ramen- leftovers were better than our initial meal. That again lends to the broth needing more time. Besides, Here's where it hurts- And where the review score derives- The buzz we considered for West Brew actually swarmed as fruit flies we consistently observed around the bar. And had to shoo away as we ate and drank. Mind you- we kept polite and just tolerated. Appearance towards good housekeeping was behind the bar, yet this still leads to question cleanliness, upkeep and accountability of any establishment. We do hope by now they have this problem resolved. West Brew has done a wonderful job of promoting and presenting their new restaurant, which is why we wanted to dine in. The food was not exceptional enough to overtake the issues of time and pest management. For the love of West Reading, hoping for improvements West Brew.
