    Jade Garden serves the best east coast style Chinese food that I have found in Tucson. Their sweet and sour sauce is the proper consistency, their eggrolls seem like the proper, fat hand-rolled eggrolls with the proper amount of pork to veg ratio, and big fat lo mein noodles, the square kind that you can bite into and it has that feel to it. They will customize your food, I don't like peas and carrots in my fried rice, but I do like bean sprouts and they make those changes for me with no problem so I think that means they're making it fresh and they never make a big deal about it. Before I go, the wonton soup, the wontons are sometimes a little bit softer than I'd like but the broth is spot on, it has the pork slices, and cabbage in the soup. They add some additional veggies to the soup but you can ask to have those left out. That wonton soup if the first thing my sister and I think about when we get sick. It is the best.

    The food was amazing and service was amazing! Prices had changed since the last time we visited, but food was overall good! A great place to eat while visiting in Tucson!

    We ordered food twice from this place and it was always good. Sometimes I crave Chinese food when I don't feel like cooking. Our food was ready in 20 minutes, so I think that wasn't too bad. Probably they are not as busy. I haven't stepped foot into the restaurant, yet. Usually my boys pick up our order. One of these days I will try dining in, just to see the inside of this restaurant. I just hope they will add fish into their seafood menu, cause they only have shrimp mainly on their seafood menu.

    My wife and I come here every couple of weeks and we always get two family dinners with soup, eggroll crab puffs, fried shrimp, and dinner entrées. It's a really cozy place, nothing fancy. The food is good, nothing magical. Steady quality and very reasonably priced. We always take a lot of food home because we are too full to finish our meal. Very good service, with no judgment. Other Asian restaurants that we go to we hear a lot of gossiping, but here they are strictly focused on giving taking our order, giving us food, and making sure we are happy.

    Better than panda express, but not by much. I'm comparing Jade Garden against authentic Chinese food from Jun Dynasty, Kung Fu Noodle, Ba Dar, and what is now known as Chef Wang. Granted, I never visited Hong Kong, and that might be where this restaurant originates from, but they only had one traditional Chinese dish, Mapu Tofu, and it tasted terrible. I ordered another dish, Ho Fun Beef, expecting it to be similar to biang biang mian. It was my favorite meal that we ordered, but I couldn't stomach more than one third of a serving. The last dish we ordered was chicken fried rice. Not authentic, but it's My Husband's favorite. And again, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. As far as ambience, I wasn't overly impressed. The brown colors and the cafeteria tables make it seem very low budget and fast food like. However, I was completely willing to give the food a chance despite its looks. Last was the service. I can only assume that it was the owner who saw us first and basically said, sit anywhere. Even though there wasn't a sign for it. But our waitress was top-notch, and she went above and beyond to make our family feel welcomed, warm and taken care of. I would give the Service four stars because she saved the whole night. However, based off of authenticity and overall taste, I would not recommend going back to this restaurant if you are looking for real Chinese food.

    I have to say the best Chinese in Tucson. I have been going there for years. I recommend the Mongolian beef plate.

We got an array of standard fare as well as some things that I don't normally see on menus of other Chinese restaurants around town. The dumplings were good, though I was underwhelmed by the lack of spice on the Spicy Pork wonton dumplings. The flavor was very good, but it was not spicy at all. For entrees, we got Curry Chicken and Cumin Lamb. I'd never had Cumin Lamb before, and it rocketed to the top of my favorites list! It was gorgeously flavorful, fragrant, and spicy, warming as I ate. The spiced oil soaked into the rice, spreading the flavor to every last grain. It's really lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from the outside, with a bright, cheerful ambience. Despite being busy, it never felt too loud, which was nice. The servers worked as a team and were very attentive. It was a great meal!

Food: (4/5) Hummingbird nest or something like that:(4/5) It's a bit bland, but it has a good variety of shrimp, scallops, snow peas, and other vegetables on a crispy shell. Good low sodium option in my opinion. Walnut shrimp: (3/5) I'm not the biggest fan of sweet and salty foods, but it was pretty savory and crunchy despite the sauce. Pork intestines: (5/5) These were so crispy and oily. The spicy aroma from the peppers also isn't that unpleasant. Overall a very oil heavy dish and just as delicious. I did order another dish, but it wasn't that outstanding and I forgot the name of it. Service: (5/5) Water refills were frequent and there wasn't much else to it. Everything was quick and efficient. Ambiance: (4/5) Very quiet and dim restaurant. Even talking normally felt very loud. Decor in the walls definitely establishes the vibe. Overall a very nice experience.

Left us questioning the 'freshness' and authenticity. A little generous with my star rating, as we both left more than 75% of our plates behind....settled the bill, tipped, and bounced. Will not return but wish them the best. Regarding service, it was ok, but some of the other comments ring true. For example, in the middle of taking our order - the server asked the gentlemen at the table right next to us who just sat down, "What would you like to drink?" while standing talking to me. Perhaps a little training inside and outside the kitchen would raise the tide across the board.

    Stopped by for an early afternoon brunch today. Big mistake…read more But first, let me say that our server was friendly and attentive and could not have been more helpful. Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago. We noticed because one of our favorites was the Fried Taro Pie which is now gone from the menu and the server said yes, that's right. Maybe this place has a new owner or chef, but it's no longer in my top asian restaurants for Tucson.

I got introduced to the existence of this Chinese restaurant that serves pretty authentic Chinese food for being in Tucson from a non Chinese doctor who hangs out with Chinese doctors at his Tucson hospital and they brought him here to eat REAL Chinese food in Tucson. I know this restaurant serves Chinese authentic food because they have a dish that is nothing but "cut off duck heads.". Just so that you know they have non-authentic Chinese food on the menu that only white people know as Chinese food such as gungbao chicken and broccoli beef, as well, if you don't want to order something as strange as the pile of duck heads. I ordered one of my favorite Szechuan dishes here. It is whitefish fillets with pickled vegetables in a soup. It is like a hot sour stew. It was a generous portion for $16.95 that year. But the reason why I am giving this restaurant two stars is because something happened that never happened to me ever in a restaurant in my 73 years of dining experience, Chinese restaurant or other wise. What happened was I like well lit tables. I don't like to sit in the dark. I was dining alone and like to read while I am eating and I said I want this brightest table which was the first one next to the waiting area. It was a table with four independent chairs. After I sat down and was already eating my food the restaurant asked me to move to another table which was a booth in the corner which was the darkest table in the restaurant. I like bright well lit tables because I read while I eat and I always dine alone. The reason why they asked me to move was because four very obese men couldn't fit in that darkest booth in the far corner of the restaurant, because there was no room in the booth for their bellies to fit. They had to sit in the independent chairs at the table where I was sitting and I was only one person eating at that table for four by myself. They could have waited till I was done eating. So I did move when they explained why and I saw the 4 men waiting there, but honestly I don't think this request that I move when I was ready eating at that table would have happened if this were not a Chinese restaurant, and I say that because I am Chinese. That was my first time eating there and I never went back.
