First time coming here and I thought I finally hit the jackpot after trying to find the perfect pork fried rice, but I was wrong. The rice tasted like day old dirty wok water and it had no flavor except old oil that was left lingering on your taste buds. The egg roll was saturated in oil, from what tasted like a week old, with nothing but cabbage and a speck of pork, and the spare ribs tasted a little funny. Will NOT be back read more

See all

First time ordering and the driver wouldn't get out of the car, very rude. The food wasn't very good. Sorry I wouldn't go back.

Pretty good food, chicken wings were great. I wasn't impressed by the fried rice but the egg roll and chicken were great!

Never again. Lady who answered phone was very rude. Placed order at 8:15 on a Thursday night. Gave address, repeated spelling several times. Order was $74 for delivery. Called at 9:05 and she answered phone saying we are closed. I told her I was waiting on my delivery. She said it would be there any minute. It is now 9:41pm and I am still waiting, called and left a message on their machine, which I know will disappear, and have heard nothing. No call from driver either. Will have to go by the bank tomorrow and fight the charge. Ridiculous!!!!! read more

Rude lady in the front... tired of her attitude now. You'd think that she's let up on her attitude after going to the restaurant for months but no, she doesn't... The food isn't even all that for her to be carrying on in that matter... Sigh... I'm usually so sweet with my ratings but 2/5 (and that's me being generous). Restaurant seems to be kept clean I guess. read more

This place used to be good 3 months ago but has since changed hands, new owners and it's horrendous! Nothing tastes good, most of it was bland and had no taste at all. I don't know how they cooked the Roast Pork Lo Mein but it tasted like it was cooked in dish water, it was disgusting. read more

Loved the quick delivery. I always order extra for leftovers. The hot and sour soup (medium heat) was awesome. Clears your head! Just the way it should. I got the steamed vegetable dumplings and they are HUGE! Also ordered the boneless ribs combo platter. The fried rice was clearly freshly made. The ribs are not the best I've had but still very good. They didn't have the carmelized flavor I'm used to from other places. Honestly, these probably have less sugar and are therefore healthier! read more

New Jade Garden - Dumplings, pork fried rice and boneless ribs. - Chinese Near Me - Meriden, Connecticut

Didnt get to eat it because as I was separating it, it had 6 black pieces in it that resembled mouse droppings. They all acted clueless and I'll NEVER eat there again!!!! read more

Dog crap. I don't know what the hell I was thinking giving these people another chance afte getting a bad meal few year ago. food has no flavor and the spare ribs smell bad. maybe health inspector need a visit. read more

Updated review! Last review was in 2018. Times have changed and so has the food. Still not a fan of the orange chicken lol. I love their other items though! The location is not too far for me and my boyfriend. We come here often. My favorite items are the sweet and sour chicken and the house lo mein. And my boyfriend always gets the general tso. We've tried other Chinese restaurants in the area and none came to the same quality and taste as this business. read more

Great food ! Always I get the wings I don't now other place whit wing China style better than this And the another food it's great too but I prefer the wings read more

Baby roach in the general tos chicken...kind of gross. We called and told them about it and they nonchalantly offered to give us more of the same food. So we said no and just got our money back. read more

New Jade Garden - Bug in meal - Chinese Near Me - Meriden, Connecticut

Love this place! Always clean! There food is great! It's so nice to have some quality Chinese food! The only reason I gave it four stars is because they normally take longer than dragon Phoenix. But that is my only complaint! Other than that they are great. read more

The food taste good. I'm giving it 2 stars because within the last few years they continued to raise prices which is expected but they been giving you less food. Higher price for less food they gave more food when the price was less. ‍ read more

Is anything more overrated by foodie snobs than "authenticity?" I don't care whether it's something they actually eat in China; it is far more important to me that it tastes great. Jade Garden delivers in the latter regard. We tried bone-in spare ribs, pan-fried dumplings, beef with broccoli, and pork fried rice. Everything was extremely rich in flavor and very affordable. I give it four stars rather than five because I've had better Chinese food in the general area, but it was an outstanding meal. I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

I used to love this place and would order every other week. I am not sure what happened to them. One day I ordered and they would no longer make a vegetable dish for me. I used to love their Gerneral Tso Bean Curd that is on their specials section. Last time I ordered it, I got a small container of small pieces with nothing else in it. there was no sauce or broccoli. I decided to give them one more chance last night. I ordered dumpling and they forgot the sauce. I called and I could wait an hour for them to bring the sauce or if I wanted them to remove the dumplings from my order they would come to pick them up. I just felt the service was very poor as well as the meal. I will not order from them again. :( Gave them 3 tries and no longer going to waste my money. read more

I know most "chinese" food comes from distributors and turn key operations, but I HAVE to write about this one. First off this place is IMPECCABLY clean! I cant remember how new or old it is (the subway next door is at least 40 years old). I dont get to this end of Meriden too often but still.... I am happy to have stopped here. They have an American doing orders and deliveries... nice to speak the language! I order the boneless spare ribs at an unknown place, cant go to too wrong right? Well... they were tender, melt in you mouth and actually sweet... my hat is off to their distributor. I have left overs in the fridge. In short, I will be back, maybe trying some of the "Chef's Specialties". read more

It was better than the last time I went several years ago, good value and decent food for the price, might stop in again when I don't feel like cooking! Today food was prepared to perfection. We had lo main chicken with garlic sauce pu pu platter for two sweet and sour chicken and white rice, it was more than enough for 5 grown people and a little under 5, won't have to cook for tomorrow's dinner too!! read more

Grew up on this stuff. Best chinese food ever!!! Best BBQ pork fried rice, broccoli beef, and general tso's chicken! Too bad I live across the country now. SAD LIFE. read more

Worst Chinese food I've ever had!! The chicken finders were so well done they were like a rock. The pork fried rice was bland and about 2 pieces of pork in it. I'll never eat here again. Xing Long in the next plaza is far superior. read more

If I could give 0 starts I would. Terrible service, piss poor attitude and the women at the front taking my order over the phone for deliver HUNG UP on us. We were delivered the wrong order 3 hours later. read more

Surprisingly good food with very generous portions and reasonable prices. I ordered inside the restaurant, very small place but pretty clean. read more

Best Chinese food around, excellent delivery service, kind and bright clean atmosphere.. One of Rosie's favorites.

I've lived in Meriden for about 6 months now, but had yet to find a decent Chinese take-out place. We decided to give Jade Garden this time. We ordered sesame chicken and beef and broccoli delivered. Everything was fresh, tender, and cooked just right. It is definitely the best place around. read more

Ive been to quite a few of the Chinese restaurants around Meriden/ Wallingford just trying to fine one whose food is consistently good. Being from the south im used to well flavored/seasoned foods. the first time here I ordered something simple..... house lo mein, and order of shirmp toast and for the vegetarian in my life mixed veggies in a garlic sauce. Everything was really good. Veggies were still crisp not limp, even the noodles were fresh! Couple weeks later went back, ordered different dishes from the prior visit. Still a happy camper. yes, the other reviews are correct., they are very curt and to the point, theres not a lot of extra chatting with the staff. They arent rude, just very......blah. but their food does make up a lot for that. read more

Passing through town on business and thought I'd try this place out. It's definitely a hole in the wall. Just does take out. But the food was good, tasty, American-influenced Chinese food. I'd definitely come back here again. read more

Never so disappointed I have been ordering delivery from them for 6 years now. I use the new website tonight and the order took 2 1/2 hours. I cancelled it and they sent the driver anyway. I better get my refund quickly. Time to find a new restaurant. read more

Best take out chinese food I have ever had to date. Delicious!

Not the best I've ever had, but pretty good. Very affordable, large portions, clean looking, foods always ready fast, "Tehn Mihnit"... always. read more

It is very good!! but the orange chicken is a little bit spicy, that's why I rated 4..

There attitude is horrible. They need to learn customer service and class. Never ordering from them again and have advised everyone at my job to do the same. read more

Great Chinese food!! General Tso is delicious. Love their wings and my wife loves the crab rangoon.

Their food is always fresh and consistent in taste. The food isn't greasy like most other Chinese food.

Called to order delivery.....which I have before plenty of times (while spending at least $50 or more each time)....and they tell me they don't deliver to the east side of Meriden. They lost my business. read more

Was really hoping to find a good Chinese food place locally. Wonton soup was boring, no veggies and bland broth. Wontons left a weird aftertaste. PuuPuu platter was also disappointing. Meat was dry and hard to chew. Everything else had no flavor. was really hoping this was good since the people were so friendly and it is local, but won't be back due to the quality of the food read more

Vegetarian dishes consist of mostly carrots, onions, and bamboo shoots with previously frozen broccoli on occasion. Delivery is fast but the customer service is THE WORST. Will never order from there again. read more

Food is usually pretty good. However tonight it was cold. Not the first time but this time it had to be reheated. I called to tell them the food was cold, me, some one who has been ordering for years from them, and they told me no it wasn't, and that's it. So service wise they are not deserving of my money nor any one else I can let know. read more

I've only had the shrimp fried rice, fried chicken, and bonless spare ribs, and I can tell you that the spareribs are the worse I've ever had, HANDS DOWN!! The rice was great and chicken was way undercooked, the restaurant is dirty inside, and the children whom taken my order was very rude as well! I've had much better in Meriden. read more

Best Chinese food in town. There general tso's chicken is the best and so is there hot and sour soup!! Great place

I always call Jade Garden if I want take out, the boneless ribs are great! I've tried several of their specialties as well as regular dishes. always tasty and their kitchen is always clean! The best around here. Next best is Wah Wah in Newington. read more
