I don't know if this is the Arizona answer to Chinese food, but the food was blah.First, there were more garnishes than actual dish. Lots of water chestnuts, but not so much shrimp. Lots of peanuts, but very little mongolian beef. The brown rice was so hard, it was almost as if it was half-cooked. The chow fun was bland and uninspired. Nothing to write home about.

"The Mongolian beef was delicious!!! My husband ordered kungpao chicken and he loved it! We'll be back :)"

I decided to go to dinner with hubby at Jade Palace (Shea) after only having used their take-out service once. I wanted their shrimp with lobster sauce since they make it like it is made in NY, with minced pork. This gives it a very nice flavor. I am going to resist the temptation to give them one star which is what would happen if it were hubby doing this rating. I am fairer than he is , I think. He says fair is a four letter word and begins with F and therefore has no place in restaurant ratings. Anyway, we went on a Saturday night and the place was well patronized. We waited for a table and were seated in a small table for two (that's OK) with NO lighting (not OK). Every table to our right, (bar was to our left) had spotlights above their tables so they could see what they were eating. My husband objected and since I didn't have a flashlight with me to provide us with light, we asked to be moved. People around our table were giggling because they realized how dark our area was and clearly there would be no way to see our food while we ate. In retrospect, I wondered why they sat us there. Didn't they realize this or perhaps they just didn't care? Now... at a new table, lit enough that we could see our food, we ordered. One egg drop soup for hubby and one wonton soup for me to start. The egg drop soup had been touted as having a "rich broth" by Yelper so I expected him to be super happy with his soup. He said it was OK. I tasted it and it was OK and needed salt or something to give it flavor. As is tradition, hubby took some of the crunchy noodles that accompanied the soups. As he took them in hand, he commented to me how oily his hands had become from touching them. With that, he said they were too greasy to eat. I agreed. I flagged down the waiter and ask if he could give us a fresh batch of noodles which would be less oily. The waiter nodded and return with more noodles. Just as greasy and basically inedible. Not a happy camper. Loves those noodles with his soup, but couldn't have it. As an appetizer I also had a NY style egg roll. This meant that the egg roll had all kinds of meats. It was a good size and average tasting--nothing special.Hubby's dish was General Tso's chicken. Hubby described it as nothing special. My shrimp and lobster sauce was good. We had both dishes with brown rice.What hubby objected to was paying premium prices for average or below average tasting food. I noted that because of Scottsdale rents and having a nice decor and tablecloths, etc the prices are higher. His attitude is that he doesn't eat decor or tablecloths, he eats food... and you know, he is right. We paid close to $50 for two people without drinks for mediocre Chinese food. I must take a lesson from hubby, eat the food, not the decor. The food DEFINITELY needs improvement so I don't understand what the fascination is with this restaurant. Perhaps the pickings are slim in Scottsdale........

If you're young, you eat Chinese at Flo's.If you're older, you eat here.Jade doesn't salt the shit out of its menu like most other Chinese restaurants. You know how I know this?I'm not up half the night gulping water like some kind of African beast at a Serengeti watering hole....after a rain...in the summer...in the midst of a drought.Try the bbq egg foo yung. It's a triumph. The egg drop soup is extraordinarily flavorful with a velvety smooth texture and rich egg flavor.The other big clue how safe the food is fairly obvious....the place is littered with old people. And if there's one thing I know about old people it's this...They didn't get to be old by eating double double bacon mcrib cheeseburgers like it was their job. No sir.These geriatric oddities got to where they are by eating smart.Jade resembles smart, offering some of the best and most authentic Chinese around.Get there early though.Snowbirds are back in town and taking over these kinds of places like they belong to some kind of militant faction ready to rip society a new one.Pasty a-holes.

The Chinese food is actually made by Chinese people, which is a good start if you're looking for Authentic Chinese Food in the Scottsdale area. Regrettably, it's overly greasy and heavy. The search continues for Authentic Asian Food in Scottsdale.

This is as close to being in Chinatown as you are going to get. Lived here for 22 years now and I am from back east and this is the only Chinese food I will eat. Devlon and Leon know NY chinese food that is for sure!

mediocre Chinese food, good service, reasonable prices, pretty restuarant.meh. wish the food was tastier!

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.

We just ordered take-out from the Jade Palace last night, so the experience is fresh in my mind. The overall rating from us is 3.5 stars, taking in to account the food and service.Although we have dined in many times before, we decided to order a standard Chinese meal, sweet and sour chicken, with pork fried rice as a side---that was it. The chicken's breading tasted sort of stale to me although the meat itself was plentiful and tender. I thought the fried rice was so-so too, lacking in some seasoning and the onions were too crunchy for my liking, although it tends to be that way in fried rice. Overall, we give our food 3 stars.The service, as always, is very good. The "phone answerer" when I called was polite and efficient. When I ran in to the pick up the food, the chatty and attentive hostess double-checked the order and price for me without me having to ask. The place was packed, and I am glad that we got take-out this time.Just to share our experience with the food in recent past: I thought the food quality was better for lunch rather than dinner. About a month ago, I had my usual lunch, the shrimp with vegetables that comes in a light and tasty garlic sauce with plump crab rangoon and my favorite, their hot and sour soup. I really like that soup; it's full of mushrooms and tofu and hits the spot as far as I am concerned. On this experience, I give their food normally 4 stars at lunch.Overall, this is a solid spot for food and service, nothing great or particularly poor, thus the 3.5 rating.

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.

Im surprised this place doesn't have a 5 star average rating. Food is by far the best chinese food in arizona, very cozy feel inside, the prices are unbelievabely reasonable for the type of food and service they provide. Owner is Leon that came up to our table a few times to check up on us and offer us a few shots of his tequila collection. He is very friendly and warm personality. We lovvvvve this place, everything is delicous!!!!!

I am from Boston, we have GREAT Chinese food out there. I as well as my family pretty much gave up on Chinese food here in AZ, being disappointed place after place. I was dragged to the Jade Palace and was completely caught off guard! This place is my second home, the staff is great and friendly and food is of excellent quality, and i dare to say better than Boston! ; ) Jade Palace is the best in town!?

This is where I go when I want something authentic that goes beyond the call of the generic PF Changs. I love the sesame chicken here, it always fills me up the right amount. The egg roll is a must-try as well!?
