I'm kind of in awe of reviewers that think they know what authentic Chinese-American food is.
I'm no expert, don't claim to be; I'm just a 3rd generation Asian-American; whose family mostly are chefs/owners of Asian-American restaurants.
Taste is a subjective thing; so, even I don't agree with the negative reviewers of Desert Jade here are my picks.
* Lemon Shrimp or Chicken - my favorite!!!
* Egg Foo Yung - just like my mother's & grandmother's. (only place in town I will order on a consistant basis)
* Ginger Beef
* Beef with Tomatoes
* Pot Stickers
* Hot & Sour Soup
Will go back as often as I can; for the good food, service and great people.
