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!

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.

Delicious! I cannot believe it took me this long to try this place. I ordered the Pork Buns, Wonton Noodle Soup and the new Beef Meat Pie. After about 45 minutes, I arrived to pickup my order. The bag felt warm and smelled yummy! I drove a little faster to get home and give it a try. I was not disappointed! The buns were warm and chewy. The pork was tender and flavorful. I dipped the buns into the sauce and wow! Nice combo that makes mouths happy. I then went for the meat pie. It had a crunchy exterior with beef and cheese inside. Absolutely delicious. Jayd Bun is one of my new favorite places to eat. I need to try more on the menu. read more

Super friendly and easy phone order. Friendly staff inside as well. The beautiful veggie fried buns were freshly handmade: huge, piping hot, soft and pillowy on top and perfectly crispy on the bottom and loaded with a balanced savory/sweet sauced crisp cabbage, carrots and mung beans. The Jayd Fusion scallion pancakes were also huge, crispy (not tough, not greasy and not dry) and seasoned with a unique spicy savory thin paste. Best I've ever had. We're taking our tomato noodle soup home to heat up for dinner later tonight- it smells delicious as well. Can't wait to try the Jinjin Dumplings and Peanut Butter Noodles next time! Note: Labor of love daily fresh handmade noodles and buns by Annie take time- be patient (and be kind) they're absolutely worth it! read more

Almost two years after my first review of the restaurant, my enthusiasm for Jayd Bun remains undiminished. As a person of Asian-American descent, I am very picky about my Asian food, so it takes a lot for me to patronize a Chinese restaurant. Food remains very good and the pork buns are still a go-to item. read more

After about a year of patronage, I finally decided to leave a review. This place deserves every five star review and more. They have an incredibly friendly and sweet staff who I have never felt were late or had an issue with. The food is always piping hot and freshly prepared, and is genuinely some of the best Asian food I have had. I'm no expert but it's super fresh and made with real care always. The pork buns are always a safe bet as are the October noodles--I keep meaning to try their dessert pastry. It is such amazing flavor and quality, and during COVID-19 was one of the most comforting meals to get. Don't miss your chance to support this fantastic place. read more

I heard great things about Jayd Bun on social media, and my first visit yesterday did not disappoint. The pan fried buns, spicy wantons, Zhajianmian l, and spicy tomato noodles are dishes I will have again. The owners apologized that our Chinese Beef Patty was overdone and offered me free drinks and a coupon for a future visit. The gesture was appreciated but unnecessary because I thought the dish was excellent.

The tomato and noodle soup with eggs, ginger, sesame, and noodle is outstanding. We also enjoyed the October Noodle dish with ground pork and scallions atop freshly made noodles. The Chinese Pancake was delicious too- eggs, hot dogs, mung beans, lettuce, sesame and scallion filling inside flaky pastry. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

My husband worked here on the refrigeration when they were getting ready to open and from talking with the owner, we were both so excited to try Jayd Bun. I'm very upset at what a huge letdown it was... We called at 3:30pm and asked for food to be ready at 5pm (which gave them more time than their wait time at the moment). Waiting in line for the food was an absolute shitshow; the girl taking payments and getting the food said it was her first night. She couldn't find my order and kept helping other people and taking phone calls. By 5:25 I was finally handed 1 bag, I asked her "is this everything?" she said yes. I went out to the car and checked bag contents. We were missing part of our order. I tried a bite of the buns... cold. Not even lukewarm. So my order was ready; she just couldn't find it for almost half an hour?! When I went back in and explained the situation, they handed me the other bag that was ready and sitting right there. Even colder. No one there gave a shit. Said she's training and it was a mistake. Ok if she's training then why is no one helping her?! Just threw her to the wolves her first night. You can hear the husband just rudely yelling from the kitchen the whole time you're in there. Food might've been good if it wasn't actually freezing cold. It was pretty salty and greasy too, very disappointing. Their only answer was to give us an oopsie card for food next time... definitely not going back though. In reply to owner's comment: I understand your restaurant is extremely busy. Your claim to fame is fresh, hot, handmade food. What I can't understand is how I waited 30 mins to receive cold food. I'm sure you're well aware that your food is not meant to be eaten cold. This was not an issue of falling behind, it was that no one was helping that poor girl on her first day. Someone should've been helping her find the orders. The man with the white hair brought me the rest of my order and he was less than apologetic...quite rude, actually. He didn't say sorry at all, said basically I'm shit out of luck. So I strongly disagree with your comment that you went above and beyond to apologize. The only right answer would've been to refund my $60 spent on cold food. I didn't even drive away to eat it! Tried the buns and the pancake in the parking lot. Maybe I would try again if it was a guarantee that the food would be hot. read more

While the food had an excellent taste and an authentic flavor, reminiscent to the dishes my parents cooked when I was a kid, this restaurant truly deserves the 5 stars for their service. The owners were extremely welcoming and fun to interact with. I can say I have not met kinder and more humble owners than the two running this restaurant. Quick tip, be sure to purchase one of their branded merchandise and wear it for future meals for a discount on your order! Great food, great service, will come back again! read more

We just discovered this little gem located in the heart of Peacedale and know this will be a new favorite. It's so difficult to find authentic Chinese food in Rhode Island, but this is the real deal. We definitely over-ordered, but that that gave us a chance to try more things and to enjoy the leftovers the next day. We had: - pork buns - chicken buns - my daughter's favorite - edamame - peanut butter noodles - my favorite - Spicy yo po - my husband's favorite - side of homemade chili sauce Everything is clearly homemade with great care. We can't wait to come back and get our favorites and try some of the other offerings. We got takeout this time, but maybe next time we'll eat on their charming patio. read more

Rating: 4.4 Came to…read moretry this ramen place over in Newport area for dinner. I've seen the place before on yelp with good reviews and wanted to try for a while but since i don't go to newport often we decided to give it a try since we were in the area. It's a ramen shop in busy newport touristic area by the port. It's located inside the plaza and has parkings as well. Its was busy time of the week so the parking was full so we ended up finding a street parking a but far and walked over. Since its was nice out they had outside patio seatings as well but it was busy so we sat inside. Inside is decent size and has multiple seatings and tables that accommodates medium size groups. They seem to also have their own ramen noodle making area where the worker is hand making noodles and you can see them through the glass. We sat down and looked at the menu. They offer variety of drinks including bubble tea, alcoholic drinks and refresher as well with some interesting flavors. There are some appetizers and ramen noodle options. We tried the gochujang chicken bao bun, and spicy chili dumplings as appetizers.i tried their hong kong bubble tea and got the tonkotsu ramen. Gochujang chicken bao bun was tasty. Nice and fluffy bun and flavorful fried chicken paired well. I was expecting more or gochujang flavor but it actually tasted more like buffalo or hot chicken. Spicy chili dumplings were okay. Hong kong tea had good tea flavor and boba was chewy and sweet. The tonkotsu ramen was quite good. Flavorful pork broth paired well with garlic oil. Noodles were firm and thin as they seemed to be hand made. Chasu was fatty and flavorful. Egg was good but could use a bit more flavor if they were be marinated and should be a bit more yolky for ramen eggs. Overall a solid ramen. Service was good and the waitress was attentive. When i mentioned that i had to leave in a timely manner as we were going to be on a sunset cruise she brought the check right away with some bag and bowls to take the leftover home which was thoughtful. Overall we had a great experience at the restaurant and i was quite impressed by their ramen especially considering the options available in RI. Service was good and was not too busy despite being touristic area. This may be one of top spot for ramen in RI currently.

I just came here a couple of days ago for a Yelp event (please check that review for my thoughts on…read morethe pork bun and Sapporo-style ramen on their menu). I liked it so much that I decided to come back and dragged my co-worker with me. The interior is sort of a long narrow-ish setup, with seating on one side, and the ordering counter on the other side. Edison-style bulbs lined the area, providing a warm, orange-ish light. Cozy. You walk up to the counter and order. They'll give you a number and bring your order to your table. I ordered the blackened tuna bun and O.G. Miso ramen (with an addition of pork and egg), with a Yuki Tora sake. The tuna bun was tasty. I believe the tuna was aburi torched, and it was topped with carrots, scallions, wakame, and sesame seeds. It also had eel sauce and wasabi, which created a great flavor combination between the piercing spice of wasabi and the sweetness of eel sauce. The O.G. Miso ramen used a miso broth, with carrots, cabbage, shiitake, topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and a piece of nori. And of course, I added pork and an egg to it. I love shiitake in my ramen broth, as it adds a bit of savoriness, and also provides a bit of meaty texture. The miso flavor in this broth is much more prominent compared to the Sapporo-style ramen, however, I found Sapporo-style broth much more complex and balanced. I think what I was missing in this would be a drizzle of sesame oil. I also got a Yuki Tora nigori sake with my meal, which I found I loved from the Yelp event a couple of days ago. One with the meal, and another one as just dessert after the meal. Also convinced my co-worker to try it, and he also liked it. This place is definitely worth the visit. In general, you won't find ramen this good unless you're willing to go into the city and pay as much for an hour's worth of parking as your meal costs.

The vibe was very laid back on a 2-3ish afternoon. Parking was street parking, but I believe there's public parking around the corner. The restaurant is pretty spacious. You order first and then sit with a number and the server comes with the food/drinks. The tablet does ask for a tip before you even get served. As my personal rule, I never tip before finishing my meal. I ordered the house ramen and a mapo mushroom omusubi. I like how the ramen uses local veggies. The pork was fine, but I didn't like its somewhat dry texture. The broth was a bit too strong and/or salty for my liking, but I don't hold that against it--it reminds me of ramen I've had in Japan, which is a positive if you're looking for something more authentic. (However, I am finding that a lot of ramen just isn't for me!) I got the mapo mushroom onigiri for takeout. I liked it! It's a little spicy and quite flavorful, pairing with the rice well. All-in-all it was a very laidback experience and I would want coming back here again if I'm in the area.

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.

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
