Skull man

Personally, it was not for me. I was not a fan of the taste of the food. It was a cool experience but I only really liked the spicy yopo a little bit. The rest of my family really enjoyed themselves but I just did not like it as much as I thought I would. A really nice little place, but I just was not a big fan of it. No offense at ALL to anyone who sees this review that likes the place, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just wasn't for me Edit: I made my review 2 stars instead since my family did like the food more than I did, not trying to be rude to the workers of jayd bun, just giving what I feel is an honest review

Jayd Bun was voted number 2 Chinese restaurant in the U.S. by Yelp, so I had to go check them out. I tried to go in the winter but the snow storm was bad and I had to cancel my order. I finally was able to go recently and the hype is real. It's best that you pre-order through email the day prior, the cut off time is 4pm. They are quick and responsive via email. It's a take-out only restaurant but they have a small patio with a few picnic tables. There are breweries nearby; The Whalers is right next door. I ordered a bunch of food to try with the family. 1. Spicy yo po noodles - tangy noodles with bok choy, love the flavor and the thick handmade noodles 2. Sweet chili chicken jin jin - spicy savory open ended dumplings, mouthwatering good 3. Pork buns - delicious, fresh, and love the sauce it came with. 4. Ja Jen Men noodles - love that savory sweet sauce 5. Spicy wontons - filled with pork and spicy sauce, huge fan All were so good, my husband and I agree, best Chinese food we've ever had. We drove 2 hours from CT, he said if we lived closer we would be there all the time lol; bad for our waist and wallets lmao. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Took the hour & a half trek down to JAYD BUN in South Kingstown, RI for some buns & noods Placed our order two days in advance & damn, it was worth every mile. We were greeted with smiling faces at pickup plus a visit from the one & only Chef Joe, who even tossed in a couple magic tricks for extra flavor We also bumped into the Fresh Prince of Rhode Island Amir Henley while we were there We loaded up on buns, beef jin jins, ja jen noodles, peanut noodles, & the spicy yo po. Every dish was made fresh to order. The noodles were cooked perfectly & coated in rich house made sauces, while the buns & jin jins were bursting with flavor in every bite. This place absolutely kills it every single time & it's easy to see why they've won so many awards. The hard work, passion, & love they put into the food shines through in every dish Thank you Chef Joe, Chef Annie, & crew #RhodeIslandEats #FoodieFinds #AsianFoodLover #SupportLocalRestaurants #Foodstagram

If worth the hype could be wrapped up in a meal...it would be this one. We emailed earlier in the week to make sure our order was in. We got a mix of buns, jin Jins, and noodles. Our friends picked it up for us and delivered it to CT and it was STILL WARM. THAT is how fresh we are talking here. There wasn't a bad bite to be had. The buns went soft with great filling. The dumplings had a lot of flavor and were so balanced. The noodles had a great texture. My husband was all about that sauce and I'm now so focused on going back for the spicy noodles. We can't wait to go back.

This food is worth waiting for and worth traveling for. We emailed our order 5 days out and added on two days later. There were no issues with our order and it was ready on time. The food is fresh and so delicious. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered and October noodle, Jin jin dumplings, veggie buns, pork buns and a Jayd Noodle. The food easily fed six people. The staff are incredibly friendly. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and try it! You won't be disappointed.

Here's the thing: Put aside the fact Chef Joe, Annie, JinJin, and the entire Jayd Bun team are very talented, genuine, and kind people. This isn't just great, quality food, this is a culinary EXPERIENCE. Never tasted anything like it and doubt I will again. If you have any second thoughts, don't. JUST GO!! Thank you to everyone at Jayd Bun for everything. Can't wait to get back. Love, Alex & Danielle

Unfortunately underwhelming. We ordered two of the Jayd Fusion and were told upon pickup they had run out. We'd even placed our order five days beforehand just in case. We get they disclaim that the order isn't guaranteed, but I don't necessarily understand the point in ordering ahead then. Also beware there is 3% credit card up charge, which does add up with the prices. The food itself was good. Nothing mindblowing, we got the Yopo, pancakes, pork buns, veggies buns, and peanut butter noodles. The yopo was probably the most unique. The peanut butter noodles lacked something, perhaps salt. I will say, the noodles are made in house and texturally are great. The scallion pancakes were tasty and unique, though not at all crispy, and we only got the one order out of the two we had requested (five days prior). The lady up front said they compensated for it and then threw in an extra item. After doing the math, they charged us pretty much what it would've been anyways, and there was no extra item lol. There is some outdoor seating. Inside has a few chairs to sit in while waiting for your order. There's also a wall of AI generated signs inside. I wish them the best, though do think they need to either restructure their system to meet current demand, or be more upfront about how the food you order might not get to you. It simply isn't fair to people traveling from states away, especially when you don't tell them until they are paying for their order at the counter. I hate this word, but i fear it couldn't meet the hype. Maybe it was just an off day. Regardless, if you live within 30 minutes, it's probably worth going. But I wouldn't recommend going too far out of your way.

Love the whole process of getting this take out. Signs are hilarious, especially the one star yelp review. My favorites were the Jin Jin chicken , scallion pancakes and pork buns.

I was lucky enough to receive a Mother's Day bag from Jayd Bun and it was such a wonderful experience! They were incredibly generous with the portions and even included beautiful flowers as a Mother's Day gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. The noodles had the perfect level of spice, and the peanut butter noodles were absolutely delicious. My daughter's favorite were the dumplings, and we both loved the buns! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We'll definitely be back!

What is this mystery bag business all about?! Well if you have been following Jayd Bun on social media one knows that when someone is unable to make it for their order the fun begins! A quick post to Facebook and boom, call to score a great free treat!! Snow days seem to generate the most action and boy you have to be quick! If you think getting through for a regular order is tough, well step up and accept the mystery bag call in experience!! Was able to score this sweet treat on a snowy cold evening! After a flurry of calls I was able to score a bag on the second round posted for the night. While some may say it is careless to drive in icy road conditions, I felt this one was worth it for calming my tastebuds down from their lack of Jayd Bun (it has been a bit since I have been in)! As always, the welcome is gracious, fun and friendly upon arrival and always good to hear and see the family at work. I didn't get a chance to catch a picture, but there was a chopstick snowman in progress with the little one! Appreciate the experience along with the amazing food that has propelled Jayd Bun to one of the best in the nation! Truly appreciate all the great work and the amazing food!

Great food and great people. No wonder why you get noticed. Congrats on your James Beard nomination. If you weren't so far from my home, i would eat here every week. See ya soon

On Saturday's, Jayd Bun opens at 12pm so I called Jayd Bun at 12:00pm to preorder. I put in my order and I was given the pickup time of 1:45pm. When I arrived at 1:40pm, there were a lot of people in the small space waiting for their orders and people were dining outside. What a busy day for Jayd Bun!!! The staff member called my name stating that my order was ready and I paid for it. There is a surcharge for using credit cards. We brought our food over to Whalers Brewing Company and enjoyed it there with some drinks. We weren't the only ones that did that, I saw a few tables with Jayd Bun bags. It's great that there is a partnership. We ordered the Jayd Fusion ($14.88), Pork pan fried buns ($18.88), and Chicken pan fried buns ($18.88). Jayd Fusion is 8 pieces of a pan fried scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was crispy. Jayd Bun's pan fried buns are always filling and delicious. The pork and chicken filling is juicy and scrumptious. If you haven't tried Jayd Bun, you have to!

So finally! After seeing this on social media and reading raving reviews regarding how this place is the #2 Chinese Restaurant in the US, I finally bit the bullet and drove 45 minutes to try this award winning restaurant. And........ it did NOT disappoint! They say you need to email your order or however other ways but, I called and picked up an hour after I ordered. So yes, you can order ahead and pick up same day. Best to order on lunch because after 3pm they advise it gets busy and might not be able to accommodate. I came a little later than my pick up time but, the food was still warm. The buns were soft, juicy, chewy and so full of flavors, specially when you add their house sauce (soy). Perfection! The dumplings were delicious and they are bigger than regular store bought ones. The noodles were very tasty and just the right amount of spice. It was chewy and not dry. I definitely say, it is a MUST TRY! Though the drive is long, the food quality and quantity is worth it. I will definitely be going back for more! We ordered the: 6pc Pork Buns - $18.88 Jin Jins Savory Pork Dumplings (8pcs descent size) $14.88 Spicy Yo Po Noodles $16.88 FYI, it is near Whalers Brewery.

Outstanding food and top notch customer service every time! This food is fresh, quality, unique and not to be missed. My favorite menu items are the JinJin dumplings (there are a variety of options but all delicious), the spicy yopo and the wonton soup. Pro tip- the spicy yopo is even better in cold leftover form the day after. Bonus in that the owners are fabulous and pour their heart and soul into the business! read more

WOW! Literally one of the best meals of 2024! All the hype for Jayd Bun is 100% on point!!! We started with the Bun Combo - 3 pan fried buns (choice of pork, chicken or veg), choice of tomato noodle or wonton noodle soup, edamame & bottle of water. We selected the chicken (because other dishes had pork but will try pork buns the next time) & they were meaty with an ethereal bun. I wish I had taken a photo after I bit into it because it was flavorsome & beautiful. We selected the wonton noodle soup - delicious handmade wontons in a savory pork broth, baby bok choi, dropped egg, scallion & sesame oil. This soup will cure all that ills you! I was most looking forward to trying the spicy wontons - 12 delicious handmade wontons filled with savory pork & covered in the most mind blowing super spicy sauce you will ever taste & mixed with baby bok choi. Great to mix with all our other dishes! "Want it less spicy? Drink milk!" (Jayd Bun verbiage!) Yes, it was so spicy that my nose tingled but I could stop eating them. And we dunked our chicken buns into the sauce. We also poured some of the sauce over our noodles. You can't go to Jayd Bun and not order the noodles. We went with the warm noodles: October - perfectly thick and delicious handmade noodles topped with savory ground pork, pickled napa, scallions & mixed with a savory flavor you have never experienced. "If you like spicy, it's not very spicy. If you don't, then it is." (Jayd Bun verbiage) Next to the spicy wontons, this was tame but, by itself, I could see it being a bit spicy for some people. Like I said above, we poured some of the spicy sauce over the noodles & it was so so so good! The husband was gregarious & entertaining. He asked everyone picking up food if they had been there before & to please review on social media. He gave us two Asian beverages to try & a come back card. Talk about great marketing! Pro tip: call in your order ahead of time. The food takes time because there is so much love in it. We cannot wait to go back & try some of the other delicious offerings... and definitely another order of the spicy wontons! NOM NOM NOM #YUM read more

Wow, what a phenomenal meal and experience! If you want authentic and unique Chinese food with handmade noodles, run here! I ordered 2 days ago with the time I wanted to pick up & quickly got a confirmation back. I ordered their spicy yo po, Jayd fusion pancakes and the Jayd noodle which is a cold dish with this crispy Okra, it is out of this world. I asked to add some protein to it and Joe did it without any hesitation. Talk about accommodating! The customer service here is 20 out of 10. He is bubbly, funny, generous and thoughtful and his young daughter is the ultimate hostess passing out drinks, plates and cutlery with a smile. He wanted me to try their new Green Monstah dish which was amazing! I was hesitant at first as I am not a fan of olives, but could barely taste them. This noodle dish was packed with ground chicken, potato, red pepper, celery, zucchini, scallion, & garlic, if you like spicy, this is the dish for you!! This James Beard nominated restaurant is a gem for RI and I can definitely see why it is rated #2 in the country. Thanks Joe and Jayd Bun, you guys are the best! Also, a coupon was thrown in for next time, can't wait to go back!!! read more

I was really excited to try this place, but I was a little let down by the noodles. I enjoyed the buns a lot, as they were flavorful, fluffy, and crispy on the bottom. The noodles were not as flavorful and tasted kind of Americanized from what I was expecting. My parents weren't huge fans of the wonton soup or the beef noodle soup and mentioned it was a little too salty. There was a long wait, but that was to be expected from the numerous signs they have about it taking time. The cost is pretty pricey compared to what you could get at a China town in Boston. I would probably go back for the buns and maybe try the dumplings, since driving here is a lot closer than Boston! read more

I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!! The food is absolutely unbelievable. The flavors, the depth and the presentation...Hands-down, the best around. If you love heat like I do; the spicy YoPo and the lamb of fire dumplings are a must have. The ordering process is very simple and straightforward. Order a couple of days in advance because this place is busy and food like that can't be demanded to be ready in 30 minutes. You can actually taste the love and passion in their dishes and that's so rare in this day of hurry up. The couple people I have met that greet you when you come in the door are so nice and so sweet.

Absolutely Worth the Drive - Best Pork Buns & Dumplings Around! We live in Westport, Connecticut, about two hours away, and still make a point to visit Jade Bun at least once a month. Let's face it--food like this just doesn't exist anywhere else. We are obsessed with the pork buns and dumplings. After living in New York City for over two decades, we can honestly say we've never had buns this good--not even there. The food is beyond delicious, but what makes Jade Bun truly special is the owners.

It is worth the hype...the freshest food, totally worth the wait for the food and you are definitely going to wait, but love that they tell you that upfront and isn't ashamed they aren't sacrificing quality for speed. Know this ahead of time and you'll be good to go. Not much to say about the ambience, since it's mainly a takeout place, but they do have some tables outside that is a place to devour the pure enjoyment of a freshly homemade meal as soon as you possibly can eat and enjoy a delicious bounty of food.

Invited to Jayd Bun for a Yelp elite experience...I'm so thrilled that they exceeded expectations. By far the best Chinese food I have ever had in my life! The Jin Jin dumplings....when I called on my order I told them surprise me (as to which kind of dumplings); they sure did!! Vegetable dumplings-heavenly! They smelled so good that I could not wait, I dug into them in my car and could not stop eating them! Flavorful, moist, super delicious! The spice mixture was subtle and the veggies were the star of this culinary delight read more

The food is amazing!! It was our first time experiencing their cuisine and it was truly worth every penny and the wait. We ordered ahead via email a couple days before and got our food a couple minutes after our expected pick up window, which was not a problem because it was clearly communicated ahead of time. Email communication was very easy and they are so responsive - they really care about their customers. Their food was hot and every items we got was phenomenal!

The three items that my table and I really enjoyed were the spicy dumplings that had a really good kick and that hint of garlic which was a good combination. After that we really enjoyed the peanut sauce noodles that were rich and thick. We slurp those noodles with no hesitation, no diddy. And last we all like the Jin Jin dumplings that were dry, crunchy, and full of juicy pork. read more

Food and service was fantastic. For starters, the Spicy Wontons were cooked to perfection, and for my taste buds, the heat was perfectly balanced, also loved the pork Jin Jins. The Spicy Yo Po was delicious, noodles were long and tender, and again the heat was perfectly balanced. I tried the Veggie Buns, and enjoyed them. This was my first visit, I will definitely be back. Oh, and believe the wait time warnings, I ordered at 1pm for a 5pm pickup on a Saturday, which worked fine, but while I was there picking up, the next available pickup time was over a 2 hours away, place was definitely worth it, but seriously, try to plan ahead. read more

China Garden

Oddly enough ... Good American-style Chinese food is hard to find in Rhode Island. I have not yet…read morefound a good spot ... and China Garden is no exception. Having said that, of the 7z or so, places I have tried in RI, AI would put this toward the top of the list (which isn't saying much). American-style Chinese food is my favourite junk food ... my guilty pleasure. For many years it has been my comfort food (I dove into a plate of Orange Chicken after failing my driving test in high school) and my New Year's Eve tradition (having waited an hour and a half in a freezing cold doorway at Cathay Garden last year). The bottom line is this is just average. You won't hate it ... but it's not as good as 80% of what you'd find in Massachusetts. Chicken Fingers ... This is the golf standard of how I judge good Chinese takeout. They were below average ... a thin, rubbery strip of chicken with around a 20% chicken to 80% breading ratio. The texture was odd, almost as if it was small pieces of chopped up chicken, reconstituted. They also tasted as though they had been soaked in chicken broth. The rice flour coating was good ... but there was way too much vs. the chicken making them too thin, too crispy and too dry. Crab Rangoon ... Incredibly garlic-powder tasting. They are the triangles of dough (normally my favourite kind) and not the little ball-shaped ones more common in Rhode Island. They were just overpoweringly garlic tasting for me. These cheese was cream-cheesy with a slightly sweet crab flavour. A little skimpy on the filling and way too much garlic. Eggroll ... Too small. This was spring roll-sized. Dry filling ... mostly cabbage and not much pork. Didn't have much flavour until dipped in the hot mustard or sweet and sour, which made it better. Didn't taste fresh and was too dry and bland. Pork fried rice ... Judging by the colour of the rice, I thought I'd be disappointed because this looked more like yellow Spanish rice. It actually tasted better than it looked. No egg pieces and very few pieces of onion but there were several thin pieces of pork in it. It needed tons of soy sauce and a small bit of hot mustard. Not the best fried rice I've ever had but I thought it would be worse. BBQ Pork Strips ... The BBQ sauce tasted more like Kraft BBQ sauce than the sweet pink Chinese sauce. Other than that, these were pretty typical of what you find elsewhere with a less BBQ/smokey flavour. General Tso's Chicken ... Meh. Not the worst but not the best. The chicken fingers are similar to the pieces of chicken you'd find in here. The sauce is very sweet and sticky but not as complex as some of the other places I've tried. Not much garlic and citrus to layer in with the sugary sweetness of the sauce here. Pan Fried Peking Ravioli (pork dumplings) ... The best dish they make. Perfectly pan seared on the sides, doughy and a nice pork flavour inside. The included soy/plum (?) dipping sauce was good and went nicely with the dumplings. I'd come back to order these. Condiments ... Gave a miniscule amount of hot mustard sauce compared to other places but it was homemade. Very hot but a bit too sweet. Duck sauce was more like runny applesauce. Homemade but not the best I've had. Overall, 3 stars might seem like a bad review ... but it's really average, which this was. I have been spoiled by the great Chinese food in Massachusetts. For some reason, some states just don't have good suppliers ... I find it odd that Chinese food looks/tastes different at each place in Rhode Island and none of it is great. If I were going to order Chinese food from any restaurant in Rhode Island, this would actually be at the top of the list, which is a sad commentary.

Hong Kong being the best and my friends family restaurant The Canton being a very close second. This is the second time I've eaten Ching Tao since it changed ownership and the second time I've seen a drastic change in the quality of their food. The difference is night and day. The new owner did what all stupid people do when they buy a great restaurant and trade what made it so great for more money. Such a stupid, STUPID move. He dropped the ball big time and if he doesn't change back right now, it's the beginning of the end for this once outstanding restaurant. I'm sorry. I've eaten this food since I was a kid and I'm 55 now. Trust me when I say what I say. The egg rolls are smaller and pre- cooked or pre cooked even more so when you get them now they're almost burnt and crusty. Not only that they're considerably smaller. I've ordered them on both occasions and they were exactly the same. The best egg rolls on the island by far are close to mall food quality now. I also got the General Tso's chicken. It's half breading now and falls apart on the fork before you can get it into your mouth. I was blown away at the reduction in size of the chicken, the change from chicken breast to thigh meat and doesn't taste half as good as it did. That's all I got the last two times I've eaten there so thats all I can give an opinion on but I'll guarantee everything's changed there in one way or another in the name of the all mighty dollar. I won't be going there again and it makes me genuinely sad. I'm going to miss that place.

Quinn, our waitress, made sure we felt right at home and was clearly proud of the restaurant. Overall, it was an enjoyable birthday dinner.

Where to begin... We…read moredecided to give Matunuck Atelier a try after hearing so much hype following the fire at the original location. To say our experience was lackluster would be an understatement. Before getting to the food, I'll start with the design, décor, and ambiance. The layout is unusual. It's immediately apparent, both from the exterior and the entry sequence, that the building served another purpose in a previous life, in this case a strip mall, and has since been reclad and dressed up. It feels like a significant amount of money was invested in the building itself, but very little attention was given to the landscape and arrival experience. The entrance is undersized and creates an awkward bottleneck when guests are trying to get inside. While there was clearly thought put into the interior design, the sheer scale of the space makes it feel more like dining in a warehouse than a restaurant. Aside from the bar tucked into the back, there is very little to break up the large open room. I won't dwell on this since it's not an architectural review, but the design team could have done a better job with the spatial layout. The fit and finish are well executed, but the decision to completely cover the windows creates a dark, disconnected environment with little connection to the outside world. It feels as though the design team was intentionally trying to hide the building's location once you're inside. The lighting and acoustics only add to the problem. The extensive use of track lighting aimed directly at the tables creates a spotty, glare-filled environment. The acoustics were equally problematic. The large open space, combined with the hard surfaces throughout, made it difficult to hold a conversation without raising your voice for much of the evening. Moving on to the food, the disappointment continued. We ordered the seafood dumplings, oysters and littleneck clams, and for entrées the yellowfin tuna, scallops, and bouillabaisse. Starting with the dumplings, they appeared to be pan-fried, but they were covered in a bland 'sauce' and immediately turned into a mushy mess. The filling itself was good, but $13 for three small dumplings is a difficult value proposition. The oysters and littlenecks were excellent. Nothing negative to say there. The oyster selection was heavily East Coast, which I appreciated, but I still found it odd that there were any West Coast oysters on the menu at all. Given Rhode Island's abundance of exceptional local seafood, I would have expected the raw bar to lean entirely into local and regional offerings. As for the entrées, only one of the three dishes, the bouillabaisse, arrived hot. Both the tuna and scallops were served lukewarm. Given the already lengthy wait between the dumplings, raw bar, and main courses, we didn't have the patience to send them back. Unfortunately, I don't have much positive feedback on the entrées themselves. The pairing of a traditional Italian-style risotto with seared tuna and a miso-based dressing felt confused and disjointed. I expected a more cohesive Asian-inspired approach to what was described as a spring risotto. The bouillabaisse and scallops were fine, although I found the potato accompaniment with the scallops somewhat uninspired. Looking at the menu as a whole, it feels as though the culinary team is trying to capitalize on the popularity of Asian-inspired cuisine without fully understanding how to pair those flavors or execute them effectively. "Atelier" is a bold word to include in a restaurant's name. It suggests creativity, craftsmanship, and refinement. Based on our experience, this restaurant has not yet earned that distinction. For a restaurant this busy, they must be doing something right. Unfortunately, based on our experience, the food didn't live up to the hype.

A Love Letter to Handmade Perfection There are meals you eat, and then there are meals you remember--etched into the grooves of your memory like the well-worn handle of a beloved wok. At this unassuming gem, tucked away in New England yet boasting a soul that sings of Tianjin, every bite feels like a story being whispered in a language of dough, spice, and memory. And nowhere is that story more vividly told than through their pan-fried bao buns and jianbing. We were gifted this meal for Christmas, and what a gift it was. From the first bite, it was clear that this wasn't just food, but a labor of love and tradition--something that transcends the ordinary and turns a simple meal into an unforgettable experience. Chef Qiang Li "Annie" has done something miraculous here. She's managed to bottle nostalgia, skill, and an unapologetic dedication to craft into each handmade bao, their dough made fresh daily, each pleat formed with care and patience. The bao arrive hot, their tops crisped to a golden perfection that crackles under the bite, yielding to a pillowy, tender interior cradling a filling so rich and savory it feels like a warm embrace. The delicate balance of texture--the crunch, the chew, the unctuous filling--redefines what you thought a dumpling could be. Then there's the jianbing--a dish often relegated to the realm of quick street eats, but here, it's elevated to something that feels almost ceremonial. The crepe, thin and crisp-edged, wraps around fried dough that shatters with each bite, scallions adding a whisper of sharpness, and the sauces--deep, fermented, and complex--tying it all together in a symphony of flavor. It's an exercise in contrast: crisp and soft, sweet and savory, comforting and exciting all at once. Yes, it takes time. No, it's not fast food. But good things, truly good things, never are. Here, you are not a ticket number; you are a guest, a friend--someone for whom they knead, fold, and griddle with the kind of attention usually reserved for family dinners and New Year's feasts. It's no wonder this place has been crowned the best Asian restaurant in Rhode Island for five years running, nor is it surprising that Yelp has named it among the finest in the country. Because when you taste food like this--food that respects its roots, honors its process, and delights in its execution--you realize you're not just eating. You're experiencing something rare and beautiful: authenticity, served one perfect plate at a time. Come with patience, come with reverence, but most of all--just come. read more

Jayd Bun takes a simple concept of all fresh ingredients and small batches to provide delicious food that is as satisfying to eat as it is to watch the cooks prepare in the open kitchen. The pork buns are absolutely packed into a pan to fry crispy bottom and tender bodies to perfection. When they are served, they are piping hot with a glistening surface and savory slight floral aroma that made me want bite into it with total disregard for it having come right from the stove, but after gaining a bit of will power, I absolutely enjoyed every morsel. The bun is crispy, fluffy and tender - the filling is a complex flavor of lean pork, spring onion, and spices. The 6 buns that come with a single order could easily be finished by a single person but were thoroughly enjoyed by my family, too. The Chinese pancake was something I was not familiar with. Think of a crepe or galette but chinese-style. It is a mungbean base that is prepared with eggs, sausage, crispy fried noodle strips and all kinds of flavors. It is flavorful and the mix of textures really makes it delicious. We finished our meal with the wanton noodle soup and it did not disappoint. Bite sized wontons float in a boil brimming with noodles that were cut at the time for our order, egg, and broth. A bit of cilantro and spring onion round out the flavor. We we absolutely stuffed but in a completely satisfied way. The owners said that they spend the day from the crack of dawn preparing for the food they will prepare later in the day and it really shines through. I have to be honest, I was excited, but not sure what to expect with Jayd Bun. Having tasted the food, I an very happy to have authentic food prepared with love and dedication to provide great product and great service. I highly recommend Jayd Bun, take it out or better yet, eat it in and chat with the owners while you watch them prepare your food. read more

Let me just tell you something!!! The second you walk through the doors to this little hidden gem in the middle of PeaceDale you know it's something special. You see the awards, the authentic Chinese decor , the beautiful decorations and then you see nothing big happy faces greeting you. You can tell they love what they do. You can tell they enjoy it, take pride in it and you can smell why as you wait. Its takeout only if you don't know. But they do a good job telling you that on multiple signs before you even enter. They also recommend calling ahead which is also stated every where too! Now for the best part!!!! The food is absolutely UNREAL!! Words can't do it justice so you will have to find out for yourself ! Trust me.... YOU WANT TO FIND OUT! I have never seen or had food like what they offer anywhere . Their spicy wontons are absolutely FIRE!!! Sooooo spicy yet soooo much flavor. Their Spicy Yo Po Noodle with their hand made noodles I swear is the best noodle dish I have ever had! It's even better the next day in my opinion lol. Our personal favorites are the Veggie Bao Buns, the Yo Po, the Beef Soup, the JinJinDumplings, the Best wonton soup you will ever have , the Spicy Tomato noodle, the ..... oh hell... the entire menu is off the charts. I was gonna name every item, had to stop. Lol Do yourself the favor and go! They make their noodles, they give the best customer service you will ever experience. Joe and his wife Annie introduced themselves to us , gave us some free drinks on our first trip and somehow still remember our name and faces when they see us. They are a special duo! Unbelievable!!!! Just remember this . This is not that typical American Chinese Panda Express or Dragon Palace garbage . read more

Tonight we did a full blown try everything at Jayd Bun. How do you choose a favorite. The buns- both Pork and Veggie. Just try to keep your mouth from drooling the deliciousness. Nearly impossible. The pork filling is just filled with flavor that the oooey gooey bun is wrapped perfectly around. Veggie was just oozing with the mixture of spices, veggies and love. I had to stop eating them to enjoy the rest of the spread JinJin Dumplings- pork and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the veggie of these. If you got past my daughter slapping your hand away from the pork then consider yourself lucky. But I loved the veggie ones with spinach and mushrooms. Fusion- This is the perfect before you get home snack to enjoy the rest. I can't even describe it except get yourself an order! Let's talk noodles. Jayd Noodle Yopo Peanut and Spicy Tomato. Peanut is definitely my favorite. That sauce I could drink (actually did when the dish was gone)So fresh with the cucumber and chicken. Yopo- I am not a huge egg person on my food. But this was what brought it all together. The rest of these dishes you just need to try. Time for me to go finish my third helping..... read more

Greetings, food enthusiasts! I just had an extraordinary dining experience at Jayd Bun, an authentic Chinese restaurant that truly lives up to its motto of using fresh, handmade, and never frozen ingredients. Let's start with the Jin Jin Dumpling--a crispy delight filled with a mouthwatering combination of pork, eggs, and chives. The flavors were absolutely explosive! Moving on to the Jayd Beef Noodles, a heavenly match of tender beef and handmade noodles that created an unforgettable taste experience. I then ventured into the realm of the Spicy Yo Po Noodles--fiery, with a perfectly fried egg on top. The blend of heat and flavors was truly fantastic! And finally, the grand finale: the pan-fried buns. These delectable treats boasted soft, pillowy dough and were generously filled with juicy ingredients. Each bite was pure bliss. For those seeking an authentic Chinese dining experience, Jayd Bun is an absolute must-visit. Their unwavering commitment to freshness and handcrafted dishes shines through in every tantalizing bite. Trust me, you'll be far from disappointed. read more

I heard about this wondeful place from some friends so we decided to take the 45 minute ride down to check it out. It was DEFINITELY worth the ride. We couldn't believe how fresh the food was. The menu is small but perfect. The tomato soup was the best tomato soup I ever had. Full of flavor and the noodles are to die for. I never had real handmade noodles before and I never thought it would be a big difference, I WAS WRONG!!! It's soooooo obvious that we hey we're handmade and fresh. INCREDIBLE. The pork buns we got were out of this world! We never had anything like them before. The dough was SOOOO SOFT and crunchy yet soft like and fresh. The pork filling was juicy and loaded with flavor. We got to chit chat with the owners Joe & Annie and they were extremely kind, generous and funny. We can't wait to go back again next week and try the wonton soup and the pancake. I highly recommend going there if you haven't. AMAZING And I wish them continued success I went again!!!! This makes the 5th time in 2 weeks. I just absolutely love them read more

Jayd Bun is a wonderful authentic Chinese restaurant with all hand-made noodles, bao, and dumplings. I've tried almost everything on the menu and the flavors are excellent. I would particularly recommend: Pork Buns - with a crispy pan-fried bottom these tasty buns are not to be missed! October Noodle - pickled cabbage and ground pork combined with hand made noodles, the flavors are well balanced and delicious. Chef's congee - this soup is pure comfort food! Delicate flavors of ginger and chicken in a porridge of rice, warming and soothing all in one. Chinese Beef Patty - can't go wrong with local beef and green onions! This is a small family owned business - know what you want ahead of time and call your order in when they start taking calls. Answering machine is updated frequently and you may have try back a few times due to getting a busy signal if it's a Friday or Saturday. It's worth it! The owners are very lovely people and they make magic with their food. We have ordered many times and have never been disappointed! read more

My culinary adventure began with a delightful breakfast of juicy, succulent pork buns accompanied by a side of wonton soup. From the very first bite, I knew this restaurant was destined to become my regular spot. The October noodles I tried were bursting with extraordinary flavors that truly stood out. My brother and sister-in-law opted for the spicy wontons, which in my opinion, were the best I've enjoyed in quite some time. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning and exploring more of their menu. Joe, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and even offered my niece a complimentary drink upon our arrival. The moment we walked in, I was greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and an impeccable playlist of great throwback songs that set the perfect mood. I must mention that this is not your typical fast-food spot, so there might be a wait. However, if you're patient, you'll find it well worth the time. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Jayd Bun is the absolute best. The experience starts with the email response you get from them after placing your order. The tone of the email is inviting and exciting, having you wish your order was already ready. Upon arriving, you are greeted with a super friendly staff. In fact, when we picked up our order, Joe (the owner), came right out to greet us and thank us for our patronage. Now, for the best part, the food! Boy, is it good. Joe prepared a mixture of items for us, which included the famous buns, noodles, spicy wontons, and jin jins. From the first bite, you were left reaching for more. The portions were more than enough. We ended up taking several buns home as leftovers. The food is fresh and flavorful. It's obvious from the taste that they take great pride and care in putting out the best product. My only regret is not trying this place earlier. Don't make the same mistake I did...get your buns out there and try it! read more

I've lived in the Wakefield-Peacedale area for a while now and this establishment has never failed to impress. The food is great, and comes at a great value. I highly recommend the combo box with the tomato soup, edamame, and any of the three dumpling flavors. The quality is superb as the dumplings are crispy on the outside yet fluffy and warm on the inside with an explosively flavorful filling of meat or veggies. The soup is hearty and comforting. In addition to the famous items on the menu, other items including the scallion pancakes and cold peanut noodles which are just as good! The staff and family who own the restaurant are extremely friendly as well- which always enhances the experience. In all, Jayd Bun is an amazing restaurant and I highly recommend if you live in the area and/ or visiting. read more

Very disappointing. This style of food doesn't do well as take out - it's not burgers and fries. I had high hopes given all the awards (how many did they pay for?) they supposedly have, yet I realized this place is so mid. I had the buns, which were not very tasty and were gummy by the time I ate them. 10 minutes additional steaming in the container didn't do them well. Maybe they'd be better fresh, but this place is takeout only. The scallion pancake was oily and gross. Normally it's a crisp slice of bread, here it felt like a greasy pizza in the bad way. Finally, the noodles were so mild and salty. The vegies were burned and had a sour taste. Would not recommend this place, it shows Rhode Island doesn't know good Chinese food if this is their best. read more

I have to say, I was blown away by both the service and the food. From the moment I placed my order, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's rare to encounter such kindness, but everyone I interacted with genuinely made me feel valued, which really made my experience stand out. The food itself was absolutely amazing! Every dish was flavorful and prepared to perfection. The portion sizes are generous -- I was definitely filled up after my meal and still had leftovers for later. It's clear that they put a lot of care into their cooking, and it truly shows in every bite. I can't recommend this place enough. The combination of friendly staff and delicious, authentic food makes it a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

If you're looking for amazing Asian cuisine, look no further. I've lived in RhodeIsland for 10 years and I don't know why I waited so long to try this place. The dumplings.... I mean. Come on. Can you get any better than these? They were moist and packed with flavor! Don't even get me started on the noodles. Everything was so flavorful, and hands down delicious. Also, their customer service is unlike anything I've ever experienced. They were able to get me in day of, since it was my first time ordering with them, and they responded so quickly and even threw in an extra noodle dish for us. I will absolutely be getting food from here again. Literally downloaded Yelp just to write this review because it was PHENOMENAL!! read more

I went yesterday for the first time after hearing many people ranting & raving about it. It was super busy and I guess I wasn't the only one who recently heard about them lol. They were working hard and the owners quickly welcomed me as soon as I walked in and were very attentive and helpful. The man joe recommended the pork buns and tomato soup as they are his favorite so I took his word. THEY WERE FANTASTIC! I could taste how fresh everything was. The flavors were incredible. I can't wait to go back and try the wonton soup & pancake that he highly recommended for next time. The prices are right and I'll be more than happy to wait an hour of more if I need to. Lol If you haven't been yet.... make sure you do read more

If you are you looking for American Chinese food you won't find it here. If you are a foodie with a pallet for distinct flavors, you will be pleasantly surprised with Jaydbun! This is a husband and wife team who puts their heart and soul into creating unique dishes for their customers. This is a takeout only restaurant, and you will have to call ahead to ensure your meal will be ready when you want to pick up. Knowing this in advance will help you have the best experience here :) My favorite go to choices are the dumplings, fusion pancakes, veggie buns, and the beef patty. The best part? They use a local farm for all of their tender meats! You can't beat farm fresh food! read more

Placed a order a few days ahead of time online because we were traveling from far and had appt to maoe leaving us a small window for pick up time. and they went out of their way to make sure we had it ahead of time, which actually surprised their own front of house staff lol. The extra effort was so appreciated, they were clearly very very busy. One bite in i understood why, the food was all so fresh and delicious!! Honorable mention were the pork buns they were so juicy and the scallions pancakes were next level. But everything we got was on point. Definitely one of the best meals I have had in a long time. read more

This food is outrageously good. My wife and I have gone once a week every week since last March. Haven't missed a single week because the food is THAT good. The buns are incredible, our favorite are the pork. Noodle dishes are delicious, personal favorite is the October noodle, or the Yo Po if I want something with a bit of spice. Soups are amazing too. AND they recently added the "Fusion" described as Chinese pizza. You won't believe how good that is. It's not just another take out place, it's WAY better. Do yourself a favor and get down there, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Tell them Yo po joe sent you. read more

Jayd Bun is the type of place you go to whenever you need some good food, smiling faces, and satisfactory atmosphere to tie it all together. I moved to Wakefield in 2021, and ever since then this family has made sure myself and my kiddos are well fed and well cared for. They've been a phenomenal piece of the community and to top it all off, even helped my husband to propose to me in 2022! Jayd Bun will always have special place in our community and hearts. I will always highly recommend this place to anyone I come across in search of phenomenal service and a good time. Keep up the good work !! read more

If you are looking for true authentic Chinese food then this place is a must! It is family owned and run with farm fresh ingredients, there is nothing better than that! We ordered both the pork and chicken buns that were perfectly cooked and so fresh! We also tried the Jin Jin dumplings which the whole family enjoyed. Make sure to put this place on the list to try! Take out only, so make sure you order with plenty of time to have them cook to order (how amazing is that!?!). We will definitely be ordering again soon, it is now my 11 year old daughter's favorite place for Chinese food! read more

My husband and I called in our order ahead of time. We got the fusion, pork bao buns, beef noodle soup, Jin Jin dumplings and some yopo noodles. Let me just say we were so full and didn't finish half of our food! ( Leftovers we're also excellent) The buns were amazing the flavors and textures sang together in harmony. The Jayd fusion was crispy, flaky, savory and delicious. My husband was enthralled in the flavors of his dumplings and refused to share. Everything was fresh and outstanding definitely worth the drive and the wait. Grab some napkins and dive in! read more
