This is a small restaurant tucked away on the main street in Spearfish. It is owned and run by one family who does the cooking, cleaning, and attending to their customer's needs. Although small and with a limited buffet (about 30 or so items) the food is expertly cooked with the vegetables cooked to a crisp doneness and the meat to perfection. The kitchen is constantly delivering small portions to the buffet so all the offerings are fresh and hot. Because food is cooked in small portions it is never left standing to become a less than delicious fair. Highly recommend after eating there two different days at different times. We shall return, I'm sure. In talking to one of the owners I found that since they took the restaurant over they have been getting old customers back, and they come back again. Apparently, the food was not so good before they took it over, and they have made a change for the better. read more

With a name like Jade Palace, it's got to be spectacular, right? I broke my own rule about never eating off a buffet, and my visit only reinforced my feelings about buffets. I am sure it would have been great at lunchtime, but we were there after 4:00 and most of the food was old. The chicken for sweet-and-sour chicken was so dried out that when you bit into it, it was hard to really know what it even was. The Crab Rangoon was overcooked and the filling was crumbly. And the egg drop soup was oily. How does that even happen?! HOWEVER..... the spicy orange chicken and fried rice were exceptional, as was the Kung Pao chicken. If I do go back, I will order these items from the menu rather than from the buffet. And I will pay with a credit card because the girl at the cash register had a terrible time with cash. read more

severed raw beef. After waiting for 10-15 minutes after I had called ahead I was still severed red raw beef although some pieces were cooked majority was red and cold read more

Jade Palace China Buffet - beef lo mien - Chinese Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

It's been a few months since I've been there, they do have a decent all you can eat buffet for lunch at a reasonable price.

Absolute worst Chinese food we have ever had. The Buffett food looked old and empty so we ordered off the menu. I specifically asked our server if everything would be cooked fresh and not taken from the Buffett, she said yes. We waited a long time and there were maybe eight other people in the restaurant. The crab Rangoon was grossly over cooked and either no filling or it was completely cooked out. Our entrees finally came out, my shrimp was so overcooked there was no shrimp in them. Then I observed her take our soup from the buffet and refused it and also sent my shrimp back to take off the bill. I had to ask for water which I ordered. The server was absolutely clueless. I would highly never going here. read more

Great service if dining in. If picking up takeout...ready in less than 20 minutes! And the staff gives extra cookies if you ask!

Chinese in Spearfish? I was skeptical but took the chance. Full disclosure, I did not like what I saw on the buffet line, so we ordered off the menu. The food was hot and very good. I was shocked how good it was. The egg rolls were the best ive ever had, and the General Tso was great. 0 issues, the service, price, and vibes were great. Will totally be back, this place is underrated! read more

I went to this place about 6pm. I found the buffet very disappointing. Food was only lukewarm. Not a lot of variety. Many of the main pans like rice, noodles, and mushrooms were empty and they were not going to refill them. This place is very over-priced for what is offered. I would not recommend this place. I think almost anywhere else would be better. I went to Perkins to get something good to eat and fill up. read more

Food was horrible. I have traveled 49 States, I can honestly say, this was the worse Chinese buffet I have dined at . To add to the horrible food, the place was hot. No air conditioning. Servers were not friendly. But if I had to work in the heat, I would probably be grumpy too. No, I did not find one positive thing at this restaurant read more

Yikes. I hope we don't get food poisoning! Luke warm food and not very appealing. I couldn't believe the children got charged adult prices! The French fries were like petrified rocks. Most of the offerings were all gone. Very disappointing buffet. :( read more

Very good Chinese food! It's always hot and fresh. The portions are large and the employees here are so wonderful. I'm handicapped and they've brought my takeout to the car. They are very kind and always smiling! read more

OVERPRICED !!!!!....$17.00 for very limited buffet, they only let you eat two plates, before they're bringing you the bill. Nothing impressive about this buffet. Nothing. read more

The number of dishes in the buffet is very large, so there's lots of variety. The best thing about the food is that the vegetables are fresh and cooked well (broccoli still has a little crunch, for example). Beef in the broccoli dish, unfortunately, was very tough. Friendly staff. All in all I recommend it as a good Chinese buffet. read more

The food was good and the servers were polite. Definitely recommend this place for take-out.

Three of us tonight went to this restaurant to have Chinese buffet and were told each person would be charged $15.95. After the dinner,the bill came showing that each person was being charged addional fee $3.25. So, it was 3x $3.25 more charged than we expected! Unfortunately, we did not pay attention to it when paying the fee and the cashier did not explain what it was while we paid 15 percent tip! I am not saying that we care much about the additional payment if that would make you richer as a pathetic, small businesses owner, but we do care about if we were treated in a honest manner. Please NEVER cheat on your customers!!! Please ALWAYS explain any price and fee to your customers upfront!! read more

We did takeout. The chicken fried rice was great! We loved the inclusion of bean sprouts and there were some nice sized pieces of chicken. Unfortunately, the wonton soup, beef & broccoli and sweet & sour pork were just ok and we did not keep those leftovers. The soup didn't have many wontons and they were kind of hard, the beef was a weird pink color and didn't taste great, the sweet & sour sauce was a bit runny and the taste was off. On the positive side, the broccoli was not overcooked and the food was still hot when we got home. read more

So I ate the buffet and the food was delicious and the service was good. My only problem was the price. It was $17 for the buffet, which isn't bad considering Bidenomics. So everything is high anymore. Not their fault. read more

The buffet was amazing! Everything was fresh and even some new items. Will for sure be back! Try the dumplings ;)

My recommendation unfortunately would be to go elsewhere. Stopped in while on vacation and had a pretty rough experience. Multiple empty pans on the buffet and what was there was not fresh. When we asked if there would be some fresh food coming out we were assured there would be. 20min later 2 pans with not enough food for 3 people in them were brought out. With a family of 5 and $18 a plate it was a hard bill to swallow. read more

As we emerged from the black hills, Next 2 the Tracks was looking for something sweet... And Asian. The jade palace satisfied our worldly desires with their savory General Tso's chicken. The portions were large enough to share and we look forward to coming back for more! -the N2T outlaws www.next2thetracks.com read more

Jade Palace China Buffet - #fortune - Chinese Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

I imagine that all of the good reviews are perhaps friends of the family and don't want to offend the owners. We are Chinese food connoisseurs and we generally eat it 3 to 4 times per month. This is the worst Chinese food I have ever purchased in my life, I ordered Chow-Mein and I have never seen chow-mein served without noodles until now, tasted like a bag of frozen vegetables with soy sauce, I wouldn't even call it chow-mein, the sweet and sour soup was neither sweet or sour, the wontons were like a folded tortilla chip with a piece of meat the size of a knuckle tucked inside, we paid $36 and one experience is all it took, we won't be back, you couldn't pay me to eat their again. read more

There is no buffet due to the 'pandemic'. Just your average Chinese food. Service was good.

Selection on the buffet was minimal. Quality was mediocre to be generous. Adult dinner buffet was $10.95 and kid buffet was $8.95. Overpriced by at least $2 given the selection and quality. A small dessert selection that was not very good either. We witnessed staff eating at the cash register as well. At least she appeared to like the food. On a positive note, the Asian lady that greeted us was very nice. She was the best part. read more

OVERPRICED!!!! the buffet is VERY limited and some trays were entirely empty, the food was cold & the girl working was not very attentive. we paid over $50 for 2 adults a 5 year old and a 2 year old. we will NOT be back. read more

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Spearfish. The food is always delicious and good quality, the meat has never had weird lumps or anything, and the rice and noodles always taste really fresh. Ive always loved the sesame chicken and broccoli beef here the best. In addition, the staff is always super friendly when we come in and they'll put our fresh food if you ask for a specific item. It's also a great location on Main Street, so you can watch the cars drive past and enjoy the view as you eat. read more

Jade Palace is a great spot in Spearfish to get your Chinese food fix. Great quality and a great variety of dishes. I love their green beans and the broccoli beef dishes. They have yummy egg rolls and cream cheese rangoons. The Chinese sugar donuts are also a must try for dessert. They do slow down the amount of food they put out later at night, but they will put out dishes when you arrive. The all you can eat buffet is great for lunch or dinner. read more

Best buffet I've ever had by far. The curry rice noodles are fabulous. The Kung Pow chicken is nice and spicy but not to hot. Service is good too. I don't think you can go wrong here. read more

Best cashew chicken I have ever had! We were staying in nearby Deadwood and couldn't do any more burgers, so called and got take out from here. It was fantastic! Everything we ordered was incredible. The staff were so cute too. When they learned I was taking it back to a hotel they not only included utensil rolls but paper plates for us. I had mentioned some of the food was for kids when I placed the order so they made us homemade sugared donuts and added a box for free. If we ever go through this area again I would eat here in a heartbeat. It was delicious and the service wonderful. read more

The reviews are misleading. Definitely not what I expected. The food tasted like it had bees sitting for a long time. Flavor was off as well. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Absolutely wonderful place! The food was delicious, hot and fresh. Large variety and 3 full Buffett tables. The staff was extremely friendly and sweet. Wonderful experience and will be back! read more

I think the food here is far better than Golden Dragon. The hot and sour soup is the best I've ever had. The Black Pepper Chicken is awesome. They have a nice variety on the buffet. It seems like Florance is always there to greet you with a big smile. The entire staff is so friendly. I usually order to go and I never have to check my bag to make sure it's all there. Delivery service is also fast and efficient. Well done Jade Palace. read more

Staying at a holtel and ordered delivery on a cold night (roads a little slick) said was going to take a half hour, had my food in 15. Everything was made fresh vegetables. Perfect hand made egg rolls. Cant say enough good things. The delivery man was very friendly and had the foresight to bring plates and silverware. Would order from here again anytime. read more

No idea why all the positive reviews. Way below par for chinese buffet. Tasted old and of freezer burn. If I wanted cold food I would have went to Dairy Queen and had an ice cream cone. For what they charge you would think they could afford to keep their food at least warm at the buffet. It is $12 for Monday night buffet, full price for my 10 year old which had a spoon of rice, little bit of noodles, and jello for dessert. My 11 year old had the same but had an egg roll as well. I asked one of the staff, extremely rude and scary american girl with black lipstick, if the price was right and she asked how old the kids were, I told her and she said oh that's the cut off. I said $12 for a spoon of rice and noodles? And her response was yes that's the way it is. Needless to say we wont be back, no one should go there with kids especially with staff that looks like you just walked into a S&M freak show. They should be ashamed for how they do business and a good visit from the health inspectors wouldn't hurt either. read more

I have tried this place a few times, to give it a fair review. It sucks. People around here claimed it to be good - well maybe it is if Arby's is considered good by those who recommended this place. Food is typical buffet slop full of grease and sugar. Food is often lukewarm and often items are unavailable. Bottom line: Spearfish does not do Chinese well. read more

The food here is much better than the Golden Dragon across town. The staff is very friendly and they deliver. They know me by name when I come in. read more

Disappointing!!! We had lunch here a couple weeks ago and thought that it was OK. We invited friends to join us and this time it was about as bad as it gets. There were few offerings on the buffet. Soup was cold. The entrees were almost gone and barely covered the bottom of the pan. Battered chicken was dry and hard to chew. Needless to say we don't recommend eating here. read more

Looking back at past reviews it looks like I eat lots of Chinese food. I feel completely comfortable telling you that this place was up in the top ten. Clean. Well priced. Fast service. And friendly. I like the idea if you like something on the menus that is to be hot and spicy you can order it mild It also tells me the food was made for me. Not left from lunch or yesterday. read more

New menus for the restaurant if you are wanting Take out they will deliver within Spearfish area.

This place was definitely not worth $10 a person. Flies everywhere and very little selections of mediocre food. Very disappointing!

Excellent service and lots of food, all of it warm and salty. Just what you'd hope for in a chinese buffet.
