Let me preface this review by saying this place is ssssssooooo close to 4 stars! Menu: EXTENSIVE is the word I think of for this menu. It covers most of the wall space in this tiny hole in the wall. Now mind you, when it comes to most places to get non home cooked food, I have 2 main beliefs. 1) The hole in the wall that you didn't know existed and passed by everyday for years is most likely the best place EVER.... 2) In 95% of cases, NEVER trust a skinny chef....or one that doesn't eat their own cooking. Both seem pretty obvious. In my defense, my father was a chef before his passing, and he was NOT thin, and he LOVED to taste, eat, and create his own food. This place falls into spot #1, it's a hole in the wall. The only chair are for waiting for your food. This is all reflected in the prices......you can get a dinner combo plate with 2 servings worth of rice, entree, and some of their crispy fried rib things for under $9 in most cases. To add the awsomeness that all this is, they deliver! Anywhere in Oakland so far! Now it DOES cost $5 for delivery so don't get too excited. BUT the food is there in 45 minutes or less, and piping hot. Their entree's come in 3 sizes, any of which are so packed into the box that they can't even close them. Their food isn't always what you expect....some items are fried that you wouldn't expect. Some sauces are served on the side. Some you WISH were served on the side. All of it is plentiful, and I have only found a few things that weren't to my taste. However, when it comes to chinese food I am uber picky so take that with a grain of salt. I DO love that the fried rice has ZERO vegetables in it....I am always the one picking out the gross frozen peas and carrots out of my rice. My absolute most guilty pleasure at this place are the pork buns. I covet those ALMOST as much as my soda stream machine....just saying..... Keep in mind readers: This place is NOT PF Changs, Panda Express, or some fancy schamncy place where they wait on you, sing, or even entertain your self perceived ideations of being a chinese food connoisseur. I would liken this place to The Carl's Jr. of the chinese food world. If you want 2 servings of decent, piping hot, tummy filling, chinese food with enough left over to buy a slupee at the 7-11 down the street....this is the place for you! read more

So glad there is some place that will deliver to deep east Oakland. Food is always pretty good nothing to write home about but consistently good. However recently added a $4 delivery charge which lost them one star in this review. Look I tip the driver and always order at least $20 of food so no need for the charge people -- next time no tip for the driver -- sorry go get your $4 from the management !! read more

The combination fried rice is good the prices are ok but I still miss the old lucky dragons but this my next option

ehhh. Not so hot. Over-fried apps and chicken. Sizzling rice seafood soup was very light on the seafood. They must have been robbed several times because on a Sunday afternoon the workers were all freaked out telling me to step back while they turned my order through the bullet proof glass. If nothing else is open this will do but there are way better Chinese places in the Dimond. peace, love, and good booze ~ chase read more

This used to be my go to Chinese take out delivery place. Can the owner respond please? What is your current health rating these days? As one of your previous customers asked for. Especially given your history of having extra protein in the form of roach parts and baby roaches in your pictures? Also the young lady that is at the counter is as rude and arrogant a person and pretends to not understand when you order off menu or says we don't do that! The older woman who is obviously an owner always accommodates my simple request. If you can prove a good health rating I will be back because there are some outstanding items on your menu. BTW I've been a customer for at least 10 yrs on and off, and right now it's OFF read more

Love the food here. Always fresh and hella hott. My go to for fried rice 4way Fried rice

This place here this food has been the best since I've ever had it when I first received a flyer one day on my porch in my mailbox I tried it and every since I have not stopped eating here then the best place in Oakland so far as I can say the food is always done right sometimes the service is slow but the food makes up for it and they have a lot of business so they be swamped often that's how you know the food is good read more

Darn good Chinese food! Cheap lunch specials. This place is strictly "to go" food. Good hot food and quick too! Try their combo plates (entree, fried rice and dried fried ribs for less than $8. They deliver ($10 minimum) They are closed on Mondays. read more

Ok....fast delivery! I didn't love the Orange chicken or egg fu yum....I am starting to think they just make it different on the west coast. I enjoyed the broccoli and beef and the quick service very friendly delivery person. Egg fu yum I ordered was shrimp and they used what looked like can shrimp in the gravy and none in patty and the patty had odd Raman noddle taste and it was super thick....rather tasteless. The orange chicken just saturated in sweet sauce I did not enjoy. They did not send steamed rice. I wish I could find a good shrimp egg fu yum in Oakland. I'm unfortunately unimpressed. read more

With so many Chinese places to chose from in Oakland, I don't think I will order from here again. Jade is sub par for a greasy Chinese fix, definitely not great. And delivery took an hour and twenty minutes. :-/ I was very disappointed with the General Tsao's chicken. Smothered in bright neon orange sweet and sour sauce and gummy, yet disguised with the name General Tsao's. Too sweet and sour. I'm not a fan of sweet and sour at all, I never ever eat it. This wasn't spicy although I requested the hottest of 3 levels. The beef and mixed vegetables was tastier, but not much better. No real vegetables, all canned. ALL BROWN. Brown brown brown. Oily. The honey walnut prawns rocked it the most, however. Very good, not gummy as they can often get in transit. Very crunchy, yet sweet, and well balanced. I recommend those above anything. Next time I will go to the grocery store and spend my $30 on fresh healthy food. This just teaches me not to be a lazy bum! read more

I think this place is great! I don't particularly enjoy Chinese food. But I like their food! They always get my order correct and they usually deliver quicker than the quote time! I usually get the dried fried ribs, the general's chicken, veg spring rolls, house(combo) fried rice, and their chicken and green beans dish! I love it! read more

Their orange chicken is the best thing on the menu... everything else is okay... they are right down the street from me so its real convenient just to walk there. The bullet proof glass window is a little weird though but ah well, this is Oakland I guess! read more

Not so much into their fried rice... But, my, friend, Candice introduced me to the best snack ever... Dried fried ribs... Their portions for appetizers are great. A bit pricy. But, I guess you are paying for the goodness and the portion... read more

This place has a huge menu! I never understand how someone can memorize the recipes to so much stuff! But this is a carry out place. There is not a table and the staff is behind bullet proof glass. I'm glad they are still in the neighborhood though! They have great soup. I've tried all of them. The rice and noodle dishes are tasty also. The food reminds me of what you would get from a grocery store sometimes in their hot section. They also deliver to almost everywhere too! It is my go to place for delivery for office parties and last minute meals. read more

One of my favorite chinese restaurants. Salt and pepper prawns over shrimp fried rice. Beef and green peppers, over shrimp fried rice a combo with fried pork ribs. They been around for a very long time. Food is hot off the press meaning cooked by order. Give them a visit you will enjoy. Oh, the prices are quite reasonable, not expensive. read more

Jade palace used to be one of the best! I have been going here for over 20 years...yesterday was my last time. The quality just isn't there anymore...I noticed late 2016 that their food had changed. They have extended their menu, maybe they should shorten it and focus on quality. Bring back the old cooks!! I'd rather not waste money. read more

my new spot for delivery chinese. SO FAST. seriously- i ordered at 6:30 on a friday and it can't have been 20 minutes before i was eating yummy chow fun and ma pao tofu. ma pao tofu was awesome, chow fun was good. nothing was better or worse than i expect from medicore chinese delivery in diamond/laurel. only negative- why didn't i get a menu with my order? how will i know what else i want to order? i guess i can ASK next time or something... read more

Yall better read these reviews and look at these pics! The oldest ROACH pic in food is a year ago then the newest one is just one month ago...if they still have roaches they sick!!! I would never trust this shit again! read more

Best Chinese Food Ever! I have been going to Jade's for years. Good hot fresh food all in a timely manner. Jade has my vote!

When I started ordering, for delivery, from Jade Palace, about 3 years ago -- the food was fresh and tasty, and the MSG seemed to be absent. We loved the salt and pepper chicken wings, cream cheese crab-filled wontons, and several other dishes. But one of the last few times I ordered, the cream cheese crab wontons were totally "off" and I had to toss them. Then the last time, there was so much MSG in my food -- something I had never experienced, since I'm allergic -- and had a headache for two days, even after consuming gallons of water. I would order from them again, if I could trust them not to add MSG and specify the food must be fresh... read more

Excellent service and very speedy! Also, the vegetarian options (tofu based) are delicious and fresh. I order food from here often and it hits the spot. read more

The young man who serviced me was an absolute gem. He was extremely kind and gave me great service. The food was amazing! As a long-time Oakland citizen, I consider this an absolute banger. read more

Everything here is delicious ! They always have specials or combos you can try a bit of everything or go family style . Recommend the shrimp fried rice or veggie fries rice . Dried Fried Rib is good or Lemon Pepper chicken nuggets or wings read more

Best fried rice in the Bay Area garlic chicken fried rice with salt and pepper wings are always a must have from here sweet and sour sauce is great get two cups lol salt and pepper shrimp are really good too and the crab I get from here when it's in season read more

Overall, the Chicken Chow Mein was really good and the staff was nice. However, I do not recommend the Egg Foo Young!! I ordered the egg foo young first and just the gravy had a horrible taste. I immediately went back in, gave it back and ordered the Chow Mein, which I also paid for. The stars would have been higher had they offered me a refund on the food I gave them immediately back, since it wasn't good. read more

The food was awful. I'm so used to Little Nam King that everywhere else taste nasty now. No seasoning on anything. Dry fried ribs had no salt. Never going here again. read more

Good good food good prices quick service usually use delivery great place in Oakland, have been eating here for more than 10 years

Had the eggplant tofu and fried rice...it was very well flavored. Will definitely go for more in the future.

I love this place but last night Nov 4th 2016 I ordered salt n pepper fish and I ate at 7pm so around 1030 11 my stomach started cramping so bad. Got home from work I felt really weird so I sat up to sleep. As soon as 4am hits my stomach is in so much pain and I was in the restroom for hours sick ass hell. That's was the only unclean thing I put in my body yesterday. I have Chinese all the time even from China Town and never got sick like this. I'm on my way to kaiser right now. My stomach is cramping so bad and bowels are turning. I'm very upset did the cook wash his hands how clean is it where the food is prepared? This is too much for me right now.. don't wanna be to graphic but be careful here.. jade you aren't the same anymore :( read more

Salt/Pepper Ribs & ShrimpFried Rice. #BellyFull

I can remember my family ordering Jade Palace back when I was in elementary school, well over 30 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised that they've maintained and updated the decor over the years. I've since moved on to Asian restaurants that are a bit less greasy. JP will satiate you in a pinch, and at least they've expanded their menu a bunch over the years. Maybe I just need to find some new go-to faves, as it is close and conveniently located. read more

I used to love coming here but lately I've been having problems, like for instance I ordered delivery 3 times and asked them to make sure food is fresh. they brought it to me the food was re dipped in the grease each time. as much money I spend in this my put respect on my food, oh they'll see me tomorrow cause im taking this shit b back , my dog don't even want this shit!! read more

Jade Palace - I picked up 2 shrimp won ton soups from Jade Palace and it came with extra protein (roach) I was so appalled I left it there - Chinese Near Me - Oakland, California

I think Jade Palace is probably one of the best tasting Chinese Restaurants in the Oakland area . However , they're RUDE beyond belief and sanitary is now in question . Whenever i'm hungover or feeling under the weather in general , their WonTon Soup is practically the ONLY thing that my stomach can hold . On October 23, 2015 I was hungover after a night of partying the day prior and had been craving their soup ALL day while at work. So when i got off work, that was the first stop I made. Food was cooked in a timely fashion. Once home and i began to eat the soup , about four bites in i scooped up something i FOR SURE did not ask to be included . Immediately, i called them and informed them of the bug i had just discovered and all they said was ' well what can I do for you? ' They treated the matter as if it were an everyday thing! There wasnt even so much as an apology . ... Their food is good and all , but i dont think i'll be returning to the restaurant! :-/ . read more

I usually come to this place because I enjoy the food but the service is horrible. First off I ordered shrimp chow fun, they gave me shrimp chow mein. I went back to the restaurant and told them about the mistake they accused me of ordering the wrong thing. After I corrected them, I asked them since I was inconvenienced could I keep the chow mein too, I was told "NO". They then took the chow mein to the back and made my order, and told me they weren't going to charge me $.60 extra for the chow fun. It was their mistake why should I have to eat that cost anyway. My question is what did they do with the chow mein? Yes I stuck my finger in it and took a piece of shrimp out. Are they going to serve this to another customer? If they make the mistake why is it the customers fault... read more

Jade Palace has been around serving the East Bay GREAT food for decades! I've been eating at Jade Palace for YEARS. My wife turned me on to Jade Palace. This place is the REAL-DEAL! I am currently contracting in the England, and the Chinese food here IS NOT Jade Palace. OMG how I miss their dry fried ribs, just to name one dish. read more

This place use to be great...I don't know what happened. The food is disgusting, not fresh and questionable flavors. Last time we ate here, I had more crumbs than dried fried ribs, greasy no flavor chow mein and baby pink shrimp rice. I stay away from the bread "meats" in sauce, I find them to be hard as if they are old and very inedible. I definitely won't be returning as a customer. read more

I was sitting in church starving like Marvin. (throwback) Once I got out I took to yelp on a food quest. Stomach touching my back at this point. Fish King had just closed so Jade Palace it was... after listening to people I know and yelp raves about this place I wanted to see what they had to offer. The dry fried ribs look like pork chops. My rice was a little crunchy, it will definitely need water to be revived. The mongolian chicken had been like no other I've seen. It had pieces that looked like chow mein noodles with a texture of bamboo shoot?? green and orange bell pepper, onions, TWO zucchini pieces and minced garlic. Felt more like vegetable chicken. All the items had fair taste. However, I find it too salty for my palate. When it comes to chinese food you seem to have to ask each restaurant how they prepare a dish named the same elsewhere. Unfortunately I was up against the clock with closing and a massive hunger headache. In a better space I would have asked specific questions. Well, I'm not going to bed hungry. My fat calories could have been wasted on something else. As I'm typing this I am noticing the excess thirst. MSG?? I should have had a V8! Cest le vie! read more

I love this place late night delivery pretty much any where in Oakland. Food excellent. My fav is the salt and pepper dried fried ribs

We tried to order online and when we put in our address we received a response that we were out of their area. We are just a mile away. We phoned in our order. The service was prompt, and reasonably priced. Our food was still steaming hot. We thought that was great. Upon taking our first bite we were sure something was wrong. Neither dish tasted correctly. My partner threw his away. I ate half of mine. We were both very disappointed. Not going to order from there again. read more
