| - Orange chicken so good, it makes you want to shoot a panda...
Introducing new favorite Chinese place in my new hometown of Scottsdale: JADE PALACE. I'm from SoCal originally and have had some of the best Chinese food in Alhambra, Monterey Park, LA's Chinatown, etc and this place rivals them all.
I was truly shocked at how perfectly cooked my prawns were in the shrimp in black bean sauce. You could taste the freshness and the sauce was delicate with the perfect amount of pungency from the black beans.
The New York egg roll was crunchy, delicious and on point. Not to mention the excellent duck sauce and delicious hot mustard they made to accompany it.
Our waitress was friendly, attentive and never intrusive and was helpful with discussing menu options.
Truly, a delightful place. It's not cheap, but the quality is there. It reminds me of my favorite Chinese place ever, Spring Garden in Pasadena, CA (which has been closed for a few years now RIP). I'm thankful to have found Jade Palace, and look forward to coming here for many years to come.
