I can't believe I haven't reviewed Jade Palace before! My husband and I go there often and love it. We've been living in the area for 5 years and Jade Palace was one of the first restaurants we found that we both really liked. The inside of the restaurant is very nice, and we've always had really great service. The food is top notch! We've never had a bad meal there.
My husband's absolutely favorite is the hot and sour soup, he is a total hot and sour soup snob and he loves this one. I often stop there just to pick up a big container of it for him. The crab rangoons are really good too, not greasy and lots of filling. The General Tao's chicken is one of our favorites but the sauce is a little different than most Chinese restaurants. I absolutely adore the mu shu chicken and anything in kung pao sauce is divine. The fried rice is really delicious too; we always order it with beef. My new favorite is the chow fun noodles house special (pork, chicken and shrimp.) If you like lo mein try the chow fun for something different. Its flat rice noodles.
The lunch specials are really awesome too. I think they range from about $7-$11, you get your choice of egg drop soup or hot and sour, a main entree, fried rice, a spring roll, and a crab rangoon.
We get a lot of takeout from Jade Palace and the takeout orders are huge. They also deliver.
Just a warning, anything marked spicy will NOT be spicy. If you want it spicy ask them to make it extra hot.
