We were late for dinner at Friday night, came about 8-8.30pm. My friends did know that place for a many years and been there many times and recommended to try as an old school Chinese food and the establishment. I was asking about reservation, they said it's not needed-the Jade Island is huge! But we called for a reservation... I was very skeptical from the start about Chinese cuisine-not my taste, but my friends repeated about old school, classic Chinese Food! At the start-yes, the place is huge! With different shape tables -from 2 to bigger for 10 and more... Surprisingly, there were still a lot of diners at that late time... I forgot Chinese food totally and opted for a safe option- Fried rice with shrimps- very tasty, not salty..huge portion-took home half of it. We ordered Tofu with veggies-crispy veggies, Bock Choi not over- or under cooked-perfect - and tofu-delicious and family size prefix for 2 -with soups/spring rolls and main-chicken... Size for 2 would definitely feed 3-5 people! Great service, very attentive; -spacious seats, nice ambience - and great prices! Would definitely go again, if my friends decide to eat there. Thank you, Jade Island staff! read more

Gosh, I still really love this place! If you haven't grown up with your family or parents having dragged you out to dinner at a place like this, you wouldn't understand. This place is so nostalgic just for the decor alone, it makes me long for the good old days! This is as American as Chinese food can get, so if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, you need to go elsewhere. This place has big portions, great service, and caters to a more American dining experience with big tables for parties or even reunions. Non-negotiable items I have to get every time I'm here: - egg rolls - big and crispy - wonton egg drop mixed - the pieces of pork are HUGE - orange chicken - perfect white chicken meat every time! - chicken and broccoli - tried and true We usually come around 5PM on a Saturday to beat the rush and it works out perfectly that we don't need to make any reservations. read more

This place is a solid 3.5. The Lunch Special Beef with Bok Choy was $17.98. The lunch specials come with wonton chips, soup, main with rice, and ice cream. Lunch started strong with prompt seating, courteous greeting, and decent hot and sour soup eating. The beef and bok choy was a generous portion, I wished they had a yu choi option but they did not. Ended the meal with an included ice cream and ubiquitous fortune cookie. I may go back, it's a bit like traveling back to the 90's with the tiki decor and American-Chinese menu. read more

All these years of going to Staten Island and never been here and never heard of it. How did I not know about this restaurant! Lovely people when you walk in and it was lunch so we were seated right away. White linen table cloths throughout. You actually get a pot of tea that is included. There are too many places that charge for a pot of tea now. There is a lunch special but we ordered from the combination section. That comes with a choice of soup, we got the wonton. Old school wonton with nice soft slices of pork and lots of greens. Homemade noodles on the table with mustard or duck sauce for dipping. I ordered sweet and sour chicken which came with a huge egg roll and fried rice. The chicken had the lightest crispiest batter fried to perfection. My friend got the general tso's chicken that also came with fried rice and a nice portion of broccoli, nice and green perfectly cooked. Just when you think you're done the waiter asks what flavor ice cream you'd like. I chose vanilla of course and my friend got pistachio. I don't know who's ice cream they use but it was excellent! Soft enough to eat without sliding all over the bowl. Perfect end to a perfect meal! Waiter was very nice and the place including the bathroom was spotless. Almost forgot to get a pic of my dish but this is what I took home. If you haven't been you've got to go. The two combos included soup and dessert for us cam to about $40. read more

Having Chinese food twice in one day may be a little much, but this place made up for an earlier disappointment at another place. Did pick up with some family and I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Really cool island theme inside and I look forward to sitting in for a meal next visit. The food was amazing, top notch!! Loved the crispy noodles and house mustard. The pork fried rice was amazing, nicely loaded with everything. The vegetable chow fun was great as well, though I prefer a protein with chow fun this one was fantastic. And finally, the roast pork egg foo young. The best I've had in a long time. And the gravy was delicious too. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was done in excellent time. This looks like a nice date night place to go, there's a bar and the restaurant has nice intimate spots to enjoy a date. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

We were greeted at the door with smiles and then seated. The decor is amazing. The food was amazing from the delicious old style Chinese noodles with duck sauce and mustard straight to the pistachio ice cream. I had the roast pork egg foo young lunch special with brown rice and wonton soup and it was amazing. Haven't seen such large pieces of pork in egg foo young ever and haven't seen a soup that authentic since I was a kid with large pieces of pork and bok choy in the soup. I will definitely be returning! read more

The food and service is top notch! The ambiance is a bit dated. Like I walked back into 1992. I had the wonton soup and spare ribs combination. Both really really good. The only issue I had is that they charge $4.00 for a can of soda. It's not the $, it's the principle Smokey lol. I highly recommend this really good restaurant. read more

PLEASE BEWARE. I ordered pepper steak and onions, and began to have an allergic reaction. when I asked what was in the dish, I was told it contains oyster sauce, which is fish-based. There is no allergy warning on the menu indicating that this dish contains fish. When I questioned why this was not clearly labeled, I was met with hostility and told that they "can't possibly list every ingredient because people would ask them to remove stuff, which they can't do." This response was reckless, irresponsible, and unacceptable. Failing to disclose a major allergen and dismissing a legitimate safety concern puts people's lives at risk. very disappointed given the fact that I am a life long customer. I will not be going back. read more

Since my family took me there in 1976, and my eyes were filled with wonderment as I never gazed upon anything so unique. I was just a small child, but back then a restaurant this unique stood out big time! Since then, the food has not changed very much. It was exceptional then. It's exceptional now. The "Negative reviews" are so obvious to a long time regular customer. This place (although excellent) has a bad habit of cutting corners, and not making the food up to standard when they get "Crazy Busy". Now that's no excuse, but it is what it is! That's why I get my food on a weekday usually early. After over 55 years of success, they can get away with a lot! Nowadays 99% of the Chinese restaurants on Staten Island stink! And almost all of them are take-out. There's very few "dine-in" places left that cook old school Cantonese style food. The prices have skyrocketed since COVID, but that's pretty much everywhere! I would love to know how they maintain their 1970's Era Polynesian style decor? All the cheesy bamboo and totems look good as new! Still killing it after over half a century! Highly recommend read more

I never walked out of a restaurant, that is until Saturday. Took my family to Jade Island and I regret that I did. We walked in and it was NOT busy, we were a party of 4, and we were seated at a table that was clearly just wedged between 2 other tables. Tight doesnt even begin to describe how the table was. My poor son was pressed up against the table. So I asked the older man in the suit if we could move tables and with a straight face that they had no other tables which was an outright lie. The table was so tight they couldnt fit the me us and water on the table because my wife's water got spilled on her. Again asked to move tables and he still said no. At that point there was no other choice but to walk out, all because suit guy didnt want to be bothered to take 2 seconds to move us to another table. Will never go back. read more

This is one of last of the great old school Chinese restaurants left in the city. It is a shame when you think of how Chinese food has completely gone to hell in most of the endless open kitchen take out dumps but Jade Island maintains the old great ways. From the amazing wonton soup to the perfect shrimp with lobster sauce to the great homemade krispy noodles & duck sauce to the ice cream at the end. Great kitschy Polynesian interior and all, this is exactly the way Chinese used to be served at hundreds of places in the boros. It's a pleasure that they still exist and are keeping the tradition alive. Great stuff! read more

The food was still delicious, and we went there for the memories. Still the same fun decor as years ago. The PuPu Platter was delicious and just like we remembered. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We will definitely go back soon. read more

I've only ordered delivery from Jade Island so far, and while the food was good, I'm not sure it stood out much compared to other Chinese spots on the island. That said, everything arrived fresh and well-prepared, which is always a plus. The prices are a bit on the higher side for Chinese takeout, but the quality of the food made it worthwhile. I'm curious to see if the dine-in experience elevates things further--perhaps the atmosphere and presentation add a little extra something. I'll definitely be checking it out in person soon! read more

5/5 Stars, the place is a Homerun all the way. The food is amazing and the wait staff are super friendly.

I came here on the recommendation of a co-worker. I was hesitant based on the reviews, and I'd normally have past on going here. Turns out my feeling was right. The decor is a throw back, but I think it adds to the charm of the place. Service was solid, and fast. The food was hot. My issue is that none of the food was good. The best item was the spare ribs. The flavor was good, but they were so tough. The dumplings were doughy... More like the pork was wrapped in pastry. It consumed any flavor and made the dumpling chewy. The Jade Island Duck got it's flavor from the sauce only. The duck itself was overcooked, but also lacked flavored and seasoning. The beef and broccoli... Just bad. I cannot recommend this place. I was completely dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

Talk about phenomenal service. Our server was absolutely the best guy. Friendly funny and down to earth. I reside in Brooklyn but we were visiting friends on a Sunday that stay near by. Now everytime I visit I'll want to come here. The food portions for the price is perfect and it's the authentic old school chinese dinner experience. I'm talking the free wonton strips with hot mustard and duck sauce on the table. Cocktail cups designed like tiki cups. Such nostalgia. It was 5 of us ladies . We ordered for the table pork spare ribs and spring rolls . A shrimp pork shumai. Entrees General tso , a happy family (shrimp , pork, scallops, chicken i think lobster too) shrimp with noodles dishe and then a Polynesian speciality dish Subgum worba . We all take home bags because of the large portions and our server even brought some pineapple to finish off the meal with. They have parking available and they play lotto in there. Great spot to check out. read more

Service was great and the food was delicious. It was very comfortable and clean. My fried rice was so fresh and my pork with oyster sauce.

Great drinks, ok food only if you get the very basic fried fare and absolute rip off prices. Ordered a duck dish once and yes it's my fault for even attempting to try something that's not the pupu platter. It was literally vile. Like they ran it over in the parking lot and dumped canned fruit on it. Did I mention it's a total rip off. But honestly I would go there just for drinks and an egg roll or two. read more

Dishes lack flavor. Portions are too small for the price. Definitely have no reason to go back.

I would give this place a ZERO food was served cold and disgusting!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!!!

My family has been going there for 50 years and were regulars. John has no manners. Sometimes there are issues with their food and he doesn't like to be told that. This time it was too salty. Once my friend and I ate there and didn't like something, and he tasted it from the plate in front of us. At least do it in the kitchen. Gross. Anyway, he has told my mother who has been going there for over 50 years that she wasn't a customer. Today, he told her not to order anymore. The nerve. We signed the petition when Kimco didn't want to renew the lease. Too bad Sing isn't there anymore. He was always a gentleman. John, you should work in the back and let someone who can speak nicely to customers work the front of house. read more

Jade island, though I feel decor-wise is slightly confused about what it is (is this a Chinese restaurant? Or are we on a tropical island in the middle of the ocean...) all I can really say is that this place is awesome. The staff may be the nicest people I've ever met. A man came up to us who I believe is the manager or the owner and kept asking if everything was going alright or if there was anything he could get us. The waitstaff was quick and courteous. The food was great. The food is like an upscale version of what you can get from a typically Chinese delivery place, but with an expanded menu with some gems. The Pu Pu platter, which literally had a fire in the middle of it, was both cool as a centerpiece in the table as well as just being an EXCELLENT appetizer platter. Highly recommend this establishment any time, any occasion. read more

Order chicken chow mien yesterday for lunch. My first time here. I had a 45 min break so I didn't have time to go back to complain. I did after work. This dish had so much sauce it was like a soup. Veggies were limp and had absolutely no flavor. I had to fish out what little chicken there was in it. The owner did nothing except say this what you ordered. I left the food there. read more

I decided to order from Jade Island after seeing a review from a person that got wonton egg drop soup, which is one of my favorites. I ordered for a pick up. I ordered the soup,, chicken chow mein combo , Buddha's Delight and an extra eggroll. My husband said the chow mein was just OK. My soup was so disgusting that I could not even eat it. The wontons tasted like they had been sitting in that soup for days. They were a mushy mess. The broth had absolutely no flavor. The pork, although big slices ,was so hard to chew that I spit it out. The egg rolls were dripping with oil. The oil tasted like it was very, very old. The Buddha's Delight had large slices of tofu in it, which was gelatinous to say the least. I remember the Jade Island of years ago where you always got a great meal. I don't know what happened to this restaurant, but I will never order from there again. read more

The most disgusting food. The pupu platter everything dry and old tasting. Could not finish. We canceled our main dish because the appetizers were all dried out old and disgusting and flavorless This is NOT the jade island I grew up with. The soup needed a gallon of soy sauce to make it palatable. Takeout places serve far better quality and for far less. Have to go home and order takeout after this. Hoping we don't get sick from food that was definitely past its serving date. Truly horrendous. read more

Having lived on Staten Island for many years any resident realizes the culinary institution that Jade Island represents. Hell....Anthony Bourdain and David Johansen raves about it. The decor is 1960's Tiki polynesian complete with beach backgrounds, bamboo huts and cocktails served in Pineapples. The food is great complete with Pu Pu Platters. The platter contains teriyaki chicken wings, spare ribs, teriyaki beef on a stick, chicken toast and chicken wrapped in bacon complete with the fire. I love Jade Islands riff on Dim Sum, 4 pieces to an order and they are huuuuggeeee! Boneless chicken over vegetables is one of our favorite entrees, Jade Islands version is the standard floured/corn starched chicken breast but their version has wonderful shredded vegetables and mushrooms underneath. Chow fun and steak ku are also great choices. If in the area, check out Jade Island. read more

This place means a lot to my family and today I was thrilled to have my daughter try some of the best Chinese food in the world for the first time. Worth the trek coming back to SINY from the Jersey Shore for their soup , spare ribs , butterfly shrimp , and yes even the steak. For dessert a plate full of jello, pineapples, and ice cream to bring it on home. Cocktails served in a hollowed out pineapple is where it's at! They treat you like family here too and we've been coming here for 40 years. Can't wait to come back!!! read more
