We had two of the meat combos, and it came with the vegetables which was quite nice! The quality of the meat and vegetables were just alright. The service was quick and they were very nice. The only thing that makes it difficult to rate this higher is the prices. The price is pretty steep for hot pot meat, as well as needing to pay for the soup bases on top of it. Unfortunately, this place is just average for us, so it won't be replacing any favorites of ours.

Did a lunch visit with a friend, going our own way with lunch combos and adding a couple of full-order appetizers. -- Spareribs on the Bone: St Louis cut ribs with ruby red glaze, just a bit of char, and a clear honey glaze to sweeten things further. Not the meatiest, not the juiciest, and not the most tender, but they got the job done, thanks to the very pleasing flavor. These have the potential to be stellar at night. As sampled, above average to well above average, even with the flaws. -- Egg Rolls: Extra crunchy exterior and a soft, stringy assortment of both cabbage and celery for greenery, accented with pork. Above average. -- Chicken Wing (the included appetizer on a combo): Not dark of skin, but still crispy. A bit dry. Kinda plain, with discernible but light marinade. Average to slightly below average. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Not many mushrooms or other fillers. Mostly thick, weirdly gloppy broth and some scallions. Spice present, flavors good, textures not so good. Balances out to average. -- Szechuan Style Chicken with Peanuts: Other than having the two ingredients listed in the name, it didn't seem like similarly named dishes or kung pao. Pea pods standing in for celery. Chicken was high quality and the flavors were appealing, with spice coming through and a hoisin-equestrian undercurrent adding depth. A little above average even if different. -- General Gao's Chicken: My friend's lunch combo. He said it was heavy on the breading and had one-note sweetness. A mixed bag, but a worthy visit if you need something in the area. Lunch specials at $11.95 have a more than fair amount of food, so a good value. But it's those spareribs that'll bring me back. Attentive service. Parking in back of the building.

Along came golden house. We opted for the hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, and the veggie fried rice. The soup also came with packets of crunchy noodles to top it with (a nice touch!). The hot and sour soup was the tastiest of the lot. It had tofu, wood ear mushrooms, and other veggies. It wasn't really that sour, so I added vinegar to it. After that, it was perfect! The egg drop soup was true to its name, lots of egg, very comforting. With both soups though, it was quite thick and a little salty so we had to dilute them a bit, but that's easy enough. The veggie fried rice was...unexpected. The rice was yellow and also had large chunks of broccoli! It tasted fine but didn't feel like fried rice. Overall, this is a solid choice for when I want soup next time!

Numerous (32) lunch combos, more numerous (40) dinner combos, and a deep menu in general for this type of concept. No atmosphere to speak of and a 1-man show handling it all. -- Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a dinner combo): Ran me $15 for a Sunday lunch, $5 over the lunch combo equivalent, because it was Sunday and they don't do lunch combos on Sunday. For that $15 I got 7 large chicken fingers, a fire engine red sauce, 2 pineapple chunks, 1 maraschino cherry, and fried rice (appetizers are extra). Typically low meat-to-batter ratio. Strong crunch. Sauce was extraordinarily sweet without much sour, and in short supply if you wanted full dip-ability. Average to a bit below. -- Pork Fried Rice (with the dinner combo): There was a lot of it. Dark brown, very dry, and a Rice-a-Roni feel. Little pieces of dry pork. More flavor than Ray's around the corner, but not as fresh. More quantity than quality. Below average. -- Boneless Spareribs (an add-on to the combo): For $5.25 you get what looks like a small boat, but it's stacked high and winds up being more meat than you get at Ray's around the corner for less than even their "Appy Hour" price. As for quality, not as good, but not too far off. Some pieces dry, but some pieces had the perfect combination of fatty richness, char, and generous glaze. If all the pieces were like that, near-elite. As constituted, above average. -- Egg Roll (à la carte): Nice to have a single egg roll option ($3.75) on the appetizers list. Narrow piping hot vessel, good crunch outside, crunchy vegetation inside too, unusual seasoning, light bits of pork, and what seemed to be an even mix of cabbage and celery. Average, even with a fairly positive description, due to an odd flavor I can't place. Hard to get a handle on value. The combo was pricey considering what it did and didn't include, but the appetizer add-ons were more approachable. I was fearing getting stuck with only orange packets for duck sauce, but fortunately they had the real thing. Looking at the menu again, it's seems other combos give you more apps and leave out the pork fried rice (the weakest link), so that may be the way to go. We'll see.

If I could give this a negative number I would. The food at the mall is better!! This was so disappointing. Order $65 worth of food and might as well have thrown my money out the car window. The food is TASTELESS. The Lo Mein was dry and bland. The chicken fingers were all bread and no chicken, egg foo young tasted like egg poo young. ( that's being nice) and the rest I can't bother to bore you. My spouse came all the way home after ordering all this food and they neglected to pack the tasteless Lo Mein. He had to drive 30 min up and 30 min back . When he arrived they never apologized. He asked for a credit or an appetizer for their screw up and they said "No, we can't!" Rude af . Would never order from here again. Service is terrible and food is worse. Used to come here years ago . Went down hill. Save your money. Go to the Olive Garden or legacy for a nice meal. read more

I recently started using Westwood Jade for take-out and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and satisfying the food was. In my opinion, this is the best place for quick Chinese food in town - I've checked out a few other places and haven't been as impressed. One thing that really stood out to me was the consistently good service. Every time I've ordered, the staff have been friendly and efficient. The portion sizes are also generous, which is always a plus in my book. And if you like things extra spicy, just let them know and they'll accommodate your request. The menu at Westwood Jade is mostly deep-fried dishes, but there are also some simpler, healthier options available if that's what you're in the mood for. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving Westwood Jade a try if you're in the mood for some tasty Chinese food. Four stars! read more

Personally I don't care but it might bother someone who has a strong preference for diet vs regular. My order was the hot and sour soup , fried rice with chicken teriyaki / crab Rangoon / spring roll . The hot and sour soup tasted fine but had a gelatinous consistency. I don't usually order hot and sour soup so I'm not sure if this is the texture it's supposed to have but I found it off putting. The main course is fried rice (rice and egg only no vegetables) - no flavor; 1 crab Rangoon - tasted fine; 1 chicken teriyaki - well cooked and most flavorful thing on the plate; 1 spring roll - beautifully fried and crispy but I didn't enjoy the filling. My sister also ordered scallion pancake for us to share. This too was fried beautifully and crispy but had very little scallion flavor which I suppose is to taste... We were brought napkins and asked once if we were doing ok (I had finished eating already). The price overall was fine ~$15 for the lunch special and ~$2-$3 for the soda. When we left hosts said thank you. Overall, was an ok lunch . Would probably not come again.
