| - Went to Jade Palace for the first time this past week. I've got to explain the 3 stars because based on the food, it would probably be closer to 4, but our overall experience wasn't great - hence the 3. A little background- the Hubs and I brought his Grandpa here for dinner. His Gpa has Alzheimer's, so he needs help with the menu sometimes and definitely some patience. Unfortunately, our waiter didn't offer either of these, which caused our dining experience to be a bit frustrating at the beginning. Our waiter seemed abrasive and arrogant from the start, but it was only aggravated by the confusion during the ordering process. For that reason alone, I take off some stars.
The food itself was served very fast and it was quite good. The Hubs and I shared the mongolian beef and fried rice with bbq pork. I loved the rice! The beef was also good, but there really wasn't a good ratio of beef to onions... there were SOOOO... many onions and not nearly enough beef. Grandpa had the shrimp chow mien, which he wasn't pleased with. I think it mostly had to do with him ordering the wrong thing, but it really didn't look too appetizing (I didn't try it though).
So, I think the Hubs and I would go back despite this experience. We don't have any other good Chinese places close by, so this would be a go-to spot for us. The atmosphere is ok... we sat on the patio and there was live music next door for us to enjoy. Inside is a bit out of date and stuffy, but the patio was nice. Anyway, just my thoughts... I would certainly go back and recommend a friend to give it a try.
