I have read some rave reviews about Jade Garden being the busiest restaurant in china town. So earlier this with a craving for Chinese I rounded up a small group of friends to try this place out.
When I arrived there was a small birthday party going on and about 4-5 tables that were full. This was not the bustling restaurant I read about in reviews. I feel that is important to state that I arrived at Jade Garden around 8:30PM on a Wednesday night.
We ordered a few dishes and I ordered the 8 treasure congee. The congee was very watery although it did have an acceptable amount of seafood and roast pork.
The food in general is ok. I saw some promising dishes on other people's tables but what my friends ordered seems to lack any real flavor or pizazz.
What really soured my dining experience was the fact that the waiter brought the wrong dish to my table 2 times.
I think I will not be giving Jade Garden another try anytime soon. Please let me know of your experiences. Maybe it will change my mind.
