The owner and the wait staff were wonderful. We just had a quick lunch. The food was good. Not fantastic but maybe we didn't order the right things. We will definitely try it again. read more

Always good friendly owners and delicious chow fun! We always hit it when in town yummo

We stopped here for lunch after visiting Akaka Falls. The lunch specials were a good value, especially compared to the prices at the Beach resort where we are staying near Kona. I got the Szechuan eggplant, which included hot and sour soup, spring roll, crab Rangoon, and white rice. It was not too spicy. My dad got the fish and vegetable lunch special and egg drop soup which he enjoyed. My husband ordered the beef and asparagus dinner size and said it was tasty. My mother ordered the steamed fish dinner size. The rice was not included with the dinner portions, so it was an additional charge for their rice. They also offered a pot of hot tea on the house which my dad thought was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Did the owners change or just the quality of food? The orange chicken was hard, overcooked, and mostly skin. The vegetable chow mein was dry with just a sprinkle of veggies. The gau gee was over cooked as well. Sweet sour shrimp and minute chicken cake noodle were ok. Portions are small. For a sit down Chinese restaurant....there were no chopsticks, no not tea, and the to go boxes were plastic plates. Very disappointing on the overall quality and "esthetics" of a once well known family run Chinese restaurant in Waimea. Pandas would have been better given the quality. read more

Always enjoy eating here solid Chinese food place all the usuals on the menu and everything is good

Came there on a rainy afternoon. Was welcomed immediately and seated. Servers were very friendly and attentive The food was outstanding. Fresh with great flavor. We had the orange chicken, Mongolian beef and pork char sui., as well as their spring rolls and soup We are from Oahu but most certainly will come back here next time we're in Waimea.

If you are a connoisseur of egg fu yung-- if you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to have it and that's ALL you're gonna order from a Chinese restaurant for the rest of your life... don't go here. On a scale of 1 to 10 their egg fu yung is a meh. BUT if you like everything else on a typical Chinese menu, THIS place is fo you. Everytime we eat here the taste and quality of food stays the same, it always tastes like the vegetables are fresh and the flavor is good. You will not find gross things like hair in it like you'll find in other Chinese restaurants; this place has been pretty good about serving really good food. The dude that works in the front is always nice whether it's on the phone or in your face. I would say Jade Palace probably has the Chinese food on the island! read more

Delicious! Someone told me this was the best Chinese food they've ever had and to try it out. We were not disappointed. Even my picky kids ate everything on their plate. One is still at the table eating more. General chicken was perfect, not too spicy, and fresh crunchy chicken. Kids devoured the orange chicken. Egg drop soup was comforting and just the right amount of salt. Char siu was tender and juicy, great cut with fat but not too much. read more

We discovered this restaurant the last time we came home to visit, and it was soooo ono! We're back home again and shared with our daughter and her husband and they were like this the best Chinese food they ever had! Service was great! We'll return again. read more

You have to eat here!! Seriously Amazing Food and Exceptional service with the easy download of Beyond Menu App!! Their Appetizer fried chicken is a must!! Big fans of the salt&pepper chicken, orange chicken!YUMM!! And the Won Ton Min is Bomb!! You can custom ANYTHING!! on the menu and it's Ready in a Good Twenty Minutes!! You won't Regret it!!! read more

I like honey walnut shrimp and Hong Kong style Chow mein They have reasonably priced set menu as well read more

Always; you can select healthy options, steamed fish with ginger and side steamed vegies or get the roasted chicken or duck, fried rice and potstickers for starts. Consistently good, fresh vegies used, no thick glommy sauces. Hand made plum sauce and other tasty options. Billy is host and runs a smooth ship! To go during covid read more

As far as overpriced Chinese goes, this place wins. No quart prices. Dropped $90 on takeout last night. Crab Rangoon had no dipping sauce. Lemon Chicken had no sauce. I've had the lemon chicken from the Kona location many times, so I was expecting it to be good. The black bean fish was good, but not put in a proper container so it leaked on everything. Which works great in a paper bag. The won tons and crab rangoons had almost no filling. I expect more than fried philo dough. With Don's across the street, I probably won't be back any time soon. read more

I always have a better day after going to the Jade Palace. My favorite is the shrimp stuffed tofu with black bean sauce. It is delicious. The salt and pepper pork, chicken, fish and shrimp and the ground pork with string beans, garlic shrimp and roast duck are also very good in my opinion . I recommend ordering a scoop of rice on the side and some spring rolls. I think it's a nice touch that they serve hot tea for free and the servers there are always pleasant and efficient. read more

We had steamed fish in black bean sauce, seafood soup and salt and pepper ribs! We liked all the dishes, especially the ribs! The service was great (nice people). Ambiance was ok (typical Chinese restaurant on an island). read more

I just ordered a shrimp fried rice for take out from here so this review is purely based on that one dish. I have been to places where a even simple fried rice gets messed up but not this one so very happy for that. read more

Really pleased with the amount of food quality and price. We got lunch special ans so much for for 11$! They also did my sweet and sour tofu. Wish we lived closer. Took it over to anuenue playground like 2 minutes away and kids were in heaven. read more

This place is a gem hidden in Waimea! It is part of a small shopping lot structure very easy to find and has plenty of parking space. My bf and I decided to drive out here for lunch , as dine in service is opened. The menu has a very nice selection of Chinese variety choices include roasted duck, char siu, fried house and chicken , beef and pork. We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, house special fried rice, half roasted duck and orange chicken. Let me start with the orange chicken it was sooo good! The best on the island! It was very crispy , the sauce was light and well seasoned not too sour not too sweet, and the inside was moist (not dry or overcooked). The honey walnut shrimp was also very good. It was fried crispy not too oil , the Mayo and honey sauce was good not sour or overpowering. I can taste the honey in it. Next the house fried rice was unique , flavorful and well balance, very nice balance of meat and veggies. The roast duck was surprisingly very good! It was not oily, perfectly seasoned and very crispy skin. The portion they gave was very generous, so we had leftover for take out! Overall I would come back again and try their other dishes! read more

Awesome food so many different dishes to choose my favorite is the sizzling beef platter with pepper sauce so yummy

We really like this place. Fantastic flavors and good sized-portions. And the orange chicken is the best.

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. My family ate inside for early dinner and food was very tasty! They had the best string beans with minced pork dish I had! Better than most places I've eaten in Mainland! Service was also very quick which is rare in the Big Island. Highly recommended! read more

I wanted hot and sour soup. But the 1 I ordered smelled so bad. I decided to try it and almost threw up read more

Jade Palace - Yuck - Chinese Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

I was craving chinese food and I'm really glad I stumbled across this place. The staff were nice and this restaurant was really accommodating and was able to substitute certain foods due to dietary restrictions. Not only that but their food was great! I would definitely reccomend the steamed fish and the fried sesame balls. read more

Jade Palace - Sesame balls We ordered them to go, but tried it while we were waiting for the check and ended up getting another order - Chinese Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

Pleasantly surprised how good this place was. Great food, fast service. Highly recommend.

We don't always eat here, but we wanted a meal cooked to order for our anniversary and for late lunch. We ordered the salt and pepper shrimp, kalbi short ribs, beef and asparagus with black bean sauce, and crispy gau gee Cake noodles. Everything was so good and fresh. The asparagus was crispy, the crispy gau gee was so filled with a good portion of meat, the cake noodles were perfect, the shrimp was so tasty. I devoured what I could. The service was great. There were only a few people in there, but it wasn't a normal lunch hour 2pm so that was to be expected. read more

This restaurant gives you the option to eat from the buffet area for $11.50, or to order from the menu. Also if you sit and dine in, they give complementary green tea. (*Stars for that!*) From the menu we ordered: Lunch Special with Mixed Fish and Mixed Vegetables. The special includes rice, fried roll, ragoons, and a soup option which we chose hot & sour soup. The dish was filling enough, but nothing really special. The soup & ragoons were good tho! Singapore Rice Noodle. The dish was a nice family style portion size. The flavor was alright, but the noodles were a little dry for our taste. A Whole Pecking Duck. Along with this order, you get 16 steamed Bao Buns. The combo of the bao buns, duck skin and mixed peanut sauce was delicious! Probably our favorite out of what we ordered. Overall, the food was fair and the service was good. The server's are really friendly to talk to (-: *3/5 Stars. read more

First time here and definitely not the last time. Ordered the Dinner Special. Egg drop soup was very flavorful. You get to choose 2 appetizers (as we did the dinner for 2). We chose Crab Rangoons and Crispy Won Tons; both were fresh and delicious. We then ordered Orange Chicken and Salt and Pepper Chicken. Orange chicken was very good...salt and pepper chicken was amazing! Full of flavor and onions make the dish! Long story short, this place is worth every dollar! read more

Jade Palace - Salt and Pepper Chicken from the dinner special. - Chinese Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

When will you open a location in the NY Metropolitan area?!?! My family and I dream about the food we ate at Jade Palace while vacationing on the beautiful island of Hawaii! This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten at. The interior was not at all memorial, but this place is all about the food! Every dish we ordered was fantastic! I dare say even better than what I've had in NYC's Chinatown! read more

Great food and large portions. Lunch special included soup, egg roll, cream cheese wonton, rice and giant amount of chicken and vegetables. Impossible to eat the whole thing at once....Easily two or three servings. We are happy we found this place. read more

String beans with minced pork - the ground pork is too salty but the string beans are good - 3 stars Orange beef is too sweet - 2 stars Salt and pepper squids - 4 stars read more

Just look at the photographs as proof. Excellent fresh chinese food; try the pot stickers, salt and pepper shrimp and house special fried rice. They make their own sauces; peking duck with hand made bao and an excellent plum sauce. I don't know why there are bad reviews. Most real chinese restaurants make food with cheap ingredients and horrible bottled sauces. Here, everything is fresh, served hot and always friendly, clean. Great for parties and really one of thelast places where locals can afford to eat. All the bitchy naysayers, go somewhere else and spend your money. But, if you-have aloha and want a good deal, try it! read more

I was craving some Chinese food during this recent lockdown and was glad to find That Jade was still open and doing takeout orders. I'd been there for lunch but never for dinner. I called and made my order over the phone and it was so easy - the person taking the order was very pleasant and easy to deal with. The pickup was easy also - they came out to my car and took payment and also delivered my food to the car. After getting home I was so pleased. Everything was so tasty and well made - the dishes also had the right amount of spice and seasoning and portions were also generous. It's a bit of a drive for me to get there, but I'll definitely head back and order from Jade again! Dishes ordered: Pot stickers Beef chow fun Beef with broccoli Twice cooked pork Generals chicken Pork fried rice Sautéed mixed vegetables read more

Went here for lunch buffet. Everything I tried was delicious...and I tried to take a little of everything...but got too full towards the end. So I could have been really happy with just the first half of the buffet. Sweet and sour pork short rib were very tender and had a nice vinegar based sauce. I really enjoyed the veggies in the dishes-soft but not too soft--the beef and broccoli had perfect broccoli. The tea was really nice too and I am not a big tea drinker. They had sesame seed covered mochi balls which had some black beans in the center. There also was some sort of doughnut type item which my mom had tried out. She told the waiter we were all part of the clean plate club. Everyone enjoyed *everything* which usually is rare at a buffet. read more

We love Al! Thank you for being open on Christmas and for doing an excellent job. We came with a large group and the service was impeccable. Great prices and good tasting food. We will be back next year. Mahalo. read more

The reviews were all really good so we were excited to go. We tried to order 1 plate with brocilli beef and orange chicken with chow mein but they said we couldn't order that and had us order much more than we wanted. He charged us for 2 plates of orange chicken, broccoli beef, chow mein, white rice, won tons, ehhrolls and soup. We ended up spending much more money than we anticipated and got way more food than we wanted and most of it got wasted and then the food that we wanted didn't even taste right. The chow mein tasted really old and had a texture like it was from the previous day and reheated and the beef was nearly white. I'm not sure if these really good reviews are from the owner of the store but they don't match the experience read more

Went here before a show at Kahilu Theater. Place was packed but they had a table ready for us. Got delicious wonton soup and the appetizer sampler also DELICIOUS. Service was professional, friendly and fast. I recommend this place if you need some comfort food. Yummy 5 stars! read more

Skip this place. If someone is giving this place a high rating, they do not have sophisticated palate I just spent $32 for takeout, greasy spring rolls, broccoli in oyster sauce, the sauce is definitely made with a thickener and I'm almost sure MSG. The shrimp with walnut no differebt that panda express. Had to pay seperate for the rice and they forgot the frickin rice Also place.looks.dirty This is what I get for going against my instincts after I walked into this place. Skip it read more

We had a 4-person dinner take-out, broccoli beef, mapo tofu, salt and pepper fish,and garlic shrimp. The dinner came with steamed rice and our pick of hot and sour soup and the crab rangoon. We really like everything and surprised we could finish that much food; only thing I'd change is to pick spring roll for appetizer. The owner and his wife were nice, chatting with us about where we're from. I'd dine in the restaurant next time to try other dishes. read more

Coming from a white boy married into a Chinese family I can tell you that this is as close as authentic as you can get on the island. Great service and high quality ingredients. We would definitely go back. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch/dinner! read more
