Jade Dynasty

I ordered some shrimp fried rice and 2 orders of chicken wings and i have NO IDEA what part of any chicken wings i was given! Total waste of money. I even put in the notes (Fried Hard) and even that wasn't done but i was totally uninterested in eating this mystery chicken. Definitely would not recommend this place!!!

Adding to my review again in Jan 2021: ordered their food again for my Anniversary celebration and the food was terrible. I couldn't believe it was from the same restaurant that we loved so much. The fried rice was overcooked with no flavour..no veggies. The quality of food that was delivered can be easily available for less than half their cost in other places. Terribly disappointed with Jade Dynasty this time... wasted $60...i will really think before ordering again. My first experience review: One of the best Chinese restaurants that has an awesome choice of food in absolutely great price. Each and every item I tried in this restaurant offered a flavorful essence. Definitely going to come back again. The staffs were amazing and helpful in everything, making your eating experience special.

WOW!! I ordered Schwann Noodles & Homestyle tofu w/veggies....spoke with a efficient , yet personable lady!! Everything was fresh , hot off the wok and DELICIOUS!! I odered pupu platter too and WOW what an excellent way to sample the yummy treats these guys cooked up!!! Quick delivery time.. ( delivery guy was professional and courteous) Prices great ....(total deal for what I ordered for sure) Portions HUGE!! ( Ill enjoy these dishes all week) Can’t wait to be back in there so I can treat myself again!! PS... pics of Pupu platter missing 2 dumplings ( best I’ve ever had) & 1 rib... Because I ATE THEM LOL SOOO GOOD!!

Really not bad , some reviews said it wasn’t all that. Everyone was happy. We were a party of 3. Wasn’t crowded at all.owner was really friendly and kind. Server was quick and quiet. Only one server tonight. We all had a combination meal for a flat $ . Included egg roll, soup, and meal. He boxed the left over. All in all I would say go, bring the family , it was really nice.

This place is amazing! Great food, friendly and professional staff, lots of parking available on site, they also have a large conference hall for events. The food is delicious and I happy to drive all the way here for it because it's just so delicious!

The food here is pretty decent. When I order take out it is always on time. The service has been great as well.

I found this place to be the restaurant version of "Cheers." The owner knew everyone and everyone knew the owner. My food was nuclear hot, fresh and spicy which explains why ice cream was included with my combination meal. Once you get past the temperature of the food I found the level of seasoning in my food to be lacking and thus disappointed me just a tad on the flavors that I expected. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my meal and dining experience.

Great testing food and one of the only sit down chinese places you can find in the area. Only issue I had is the server didn't tell me about the service fee when using a credit card. I found out after he charged the card. Keep in mind if going here and want to save the fee, pay in cash.

We've order several times from Jade's but it's only for takeout. This is the 1st dine in and their service is great. Every table gets their appetizers of fried wonton strips with duck sauce. We love these fried strips. It is crispy and so addictive that you can't have just one. For dinner, we opted for the dinner combo special and and I had the Buddhist delight with white rice and spring roll. Everything is on point. The combo also comes with dessert of ice cream. This is always a hit with the kids. They do take reservations for large party. There are plenty of parking here. We will come back for another dining in experience.

I've been going to Jade Dynasty since I moved here over 35 years ago this is absolutely the best Chinese ever! I don't get the reviews where they hate the food that's nonsense! I will agree that the prices are high but to me and my family it's worth it!

I ordered some shrimp fried rice and 2 orders of chicken wings and i have NO IDEA what part of any chicken wings i was given! Total waste of money. I even put in the notes (Fried Hard) and even that wasn't done but i was totally uninterested in eating this mystery chicken. Definitely would not recommend this place!!!

Excellent service by attentive staff and owner! The food is delicious. We went for lunch and there was an extensive menu with so many options. Lunch comes with soup. I had the chicken chow mein and my husband had the shrimp with lobster sauce- it was the best he has ever had! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Food is delicious Service is excellent. I have been going there since I moved to Edison many, many years ago Mariann

Yummy! Everything was delicious. Tried this place earlier in the week with my bf and we were impressed. Big portions and fast friendly service. We'll def be back again :)

Extremely bland Chinese food. Not bad not good. I guess mediocre at best So many around probably try another Next time.

Having late lunch here. I ordered chicken with sautéed veggies. Also spring rolls. The sliced chicken meat blended well with sautéed veggies. Taste great, not salty. The spring rolls are fried and crunchy. Not greasy and oily. It's delicious. This establishment has been here for more than a decade. I'm not sure if they're still the original owners. The place is busy with employees having lunch and locals, too. Interior decor is good. The place is clean and well maintained. Serving staff is helpful and courteous. Clean Men and Women's bathroom, but need upgrade.

I had a combination platter of sesame chicken and pork fried rice. It came with an egg roll and soup. The Wonton soup was good but a small portion, I am accustomed to 2 wonton noodles, here there was one, no pork and not enough broth to cover the noodle. The egg roll had an unusual spice or vegetable and was unlike any I have had before, not to my liking. The pork fried rice had very little pork and what it did have was pale and tasteless. The sesame chicken had a tasty coating that was not overdone and gloppy, so not bad until I cut a piece. More breading than chicken. At this point I was at 3 stars until I opened the small order of boneless ribs. What I got was a 'pile' of brownish pork in a very watery type sauce. At the bottom was a layer of oil. The pork was tough and they failed to trim it well, there was far room much gristle. The pork was braised rather than grilled. I have never seen boneless ribs prepared this way. Total cost was $30 and I ended up tossing most of the pork and about have the rice and chicken, so for me it was not at all a good value. It may just be a very different style of Chinese American food and if you like it their way, please go. I will not go back.

I almost forgot what east coast Chinese food was like. Not to say that Chinese food on the west coast is bad, but it's different and not what I was accustomed to growing up. Thankfully, on my short trip to the east, I'm getting an opportunity to have some decent food like I used to eat when I was here (and actually stopped eating for a long time, different story for another time). It's the day before I head back and since being in the NY/NJ area, I've gotten my bagel, bialy and somewhat of a pizza fix, but not Chinese food. One needs egg drop soup every so often and so off to lunch we went. Jade Dynasty is one of a few places my father frequents around where he lives but he usually visits on a random Sunday, not during the week, so even he didn't know what to expect. He knows the food is decent. They have a special lunch menu, smaller menu but you get soup and rice included. One of the things I miss is the crispy large noodle that you dip in duck sauce. The other thing that I remembered from Chinese restaurants are the waiters in tuxedo shirts with bow ties and vests. Both were here. As for the food? I went with a standard, beef with scallions. On the west coast, the version is Mongolian beef. This one was quite simply, large slices of beef, brown sauce and scallions. That's it. Along with a large side of white rice, one didn't need any more. It was pretty darn good. Lots of flavor. My brother enjoyed his shrimp dish, my father had beef lo mein. My brother's girlfriend wasn't as happy with her chicken dish. The sauce was a little flat. Overall, a good experience and for those of you who live in the area, I'm sure you already know about Jade Dynasty. The lunch prices are great, many options for one low price and a buck more for a smaller group of options. Enjoy.

Never ordering from here again. The lady on the phone is extremely inconsiderate and rude. I ordered a large Chicken and Brocoli from here with a large beef fried rice which normally at most places would be more like $20 but here it came out to practically $30. Cool... I was hungry so went through with the order. I've ordered from countless Chinese food restaurants in my lifetime and when the food got here, the "large" ends up being a small. Being this is one of my favorite things to order, I know how other Chinese food places ration their food. So to charge $14 for a "large" and give a small portion is absolutely ridiculous. Not only that, I specifically said I wanted it made with garlic sauce and that wasn't done. The fried rice has a fishy smell to it, like they're cooking it without washing the wok/pot they just cooked seafood on. After reaching out to see if a mistake was made, the lady was extremely arrogant saying how long she's been in business for and that I'd have to deal with it because other customers do. No lady --- I don't. She eventually hung up on me. To anyone who left a review here saying their prices are fair ---- they charge $5 for a 2 liter of soda/drink. That's price gouging to say the least. Never again and I recommend you guys go elsewhere if you're looking for a good meal at a fair price because this is clearly something they aren't willing to offer.

Overpriced for mediocre food. $34 for a large plain lo mein and beef egg fu young. Noodles,eggs, some beef, and grease. Won't return.

Take out order very small for the money. Food is good just not enough.

I ordered a take out dinner for my family from here. Was happy to find myself greeted by a friendly and polite gentleman and food all ready on time for the pick up time I asked for. Good start! Unfortunately I found the food quality to be rather poor. All dishes lacked a certain freshness of preparation and were over-greasy. I felt like i was eating poorly made left overs, and trust me - good chinese can be good left overs. It was definitely disappointing. Unfortunately I will not order food from here again.

Amazing fresh food whether dining in or out. Very clean restaurant, nice staff, fast service and very well prepared food. Can't ask for more, especially from a local place that we like to frequent... The Orange Chicken is fantastic, the boneless spare ribs were great, the fried rice is not "overly greasy," everything we have tried was great...

We have been coming here for years and this last time was disappointing. Back in May we ordered one of our favorite dishes, Noodles with Szechuan Sauce. It is usually a medium sized rice noodle. That time we got spaghetti. I chalked it up to being in the middle of the pandemic and that there might be issues getting certain ingredients. Friday night we ordered from them again. My wife ordered crab Rangoon which barely had any filling, fine pandemic, but then don't offer the item. She also ordered Chicken and Broccoli and was not given white rice on the side, again pandemic, but then mention you are not currently offering rice. My friend ordered cold sesame noodles, and I ordered chicken lo mein, both were spaghetti again, again pandemic, but communicate that you don't have the regular noodles and I would have ordered something else. What if someone has a gluten allergy and was expecting rice noodles? So disappointed not necessarily in the lack of items, because pandemic, but the lack of communication.

Love this place! I've been going here a decent amount throughout the years and I've never been disappointed. Their combination platters are an amazing portion especially for the price! Everyone who works there has always been super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend :)

We were so excited to find a dine in option for Chinese food. Everything was excellent!!! Best chinese food I have had in years. And the service was superb as well. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Even if you have to travel to get there, it is totally worth the effort.

Very disappointing. We just moved to Metuchen and are trying to find our "go to" restaurants. The combination platters were expensive and the food quality was poor. The meat was greasy and the fried rice had no veggies. We also didn't receive the soups that were part of our order. We'd give the food a 2.5 rating but partial ratings are not an option on yelp.

It's a good day or a bad day here. Mostly good. But I ordered the Double Happiness and it was not happy. This was in a "Special" section where things are pricier. But it was not fresh tasting and the scallops were missing. I think they actually took 1 scallop and sliced it onto pieces. There were a lot of water chestnuts. To me the amount was to cover up the lack of scallops. Time to call this dish "shrimp only happiness but pay more".

If you like greasy food then look no further . I had about 10 bites then the rest went in the trash. I'm not usually for a bad yelp review but I wanted to spare some people's money and time on this review .

Was recommended by a local... did not disappoint !!!! Visiting from SoCal and had a great experience from the food to the exceptional personable service ! Next time in town going back The dumplings = awesome !

Called for delivery , live in Edison , 12 minutes away 4.8 miles and tell me it's too far for delivery. It has to be under 5 miles which it is a continues to argue with me. Sounds like a great business here. Will never go there again . Shameful

TERRIBLE !!!!!! DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM JADE DYNASTY! ONE HOUR FORTY FIVE MINUTES FOR DELIVERY. We placed an order online at 5:15 pm. At 6 pm we called about the status. They asked us the address and said it was on it's way. At 6:30 we called back. The food had not left yet. They were busy. If they had been honest with us at 6 pm we could have picked up the food or ordered somewhere else. $100+ order arrived at 6:57 pm - ONE HOUR FORTY FIVE MINUTES LATER. Our family was very hungry and sat around waiting for this food. When it arrived it was lukewarm. NEVER AGAIN.

I love this Chinese restaurant! There's not many others in the area that are actually sit down restaurants and I definitely appreciate that. Their food is always fresh and tastes delicious, and the waitstaff are always kind and attentive. Prices are reasonable too.

This is actually a really good place to get cheap chinese takeout food. The food is much better than any other american-chinese place in the area. They also have the best hot&sour soup. It has the tofu and black fungus in it. It is also actually spicy compared to other places. You can't beat the lunch specials for $7-10 which include soup (or spring roll which was delicious) and rice. Their fried wonton chips are also homemade and not the soggy pre-packaged kind.

This place was awesome! Great food and phenomenal customer service. We were visiting from out of town and tried to buy beer but it was BYOB. Luckily the staff helped us quickly find a liquor store next door and we got some drinks. Will definitely go back here again!!!

This is one of the best Chinese food places around. It's pretty well known, and the restaurant is on the smaller side so depending on the day there will be a wait for a table. If you're getting take out I would highly recommend picking it up and giving them some extra time before going in. The food is well worth the wait

I'll start with the positives: This place has a very welcoming old-school Chinese restaurant vibe. The staff is kind and the owner is very sweet. They offer $10 lunch specials, which is a very good value. There are 30 something options to choose from, and each meal comes with rice and a soup of your choice (and hot tea!) However, when it comes to the actual food, Jade Dynasty is just a bit lacking. First, instead of bringing baskets of fried wonton strips and duck sauce out to the table when you get there, they just leave them sitting on the tables at all times, so that they're already there when you arrive. This might sound convenient, but it makes for very stale wonton strips. I ordered the spare ribs with vegetable fried rice. The sauce on the ribs was pretty good, but the meat itself was quite bland and a bit tough. They were definitely edible, but nothing to write home about. I wouldn't order them again. I asked the waiter for a spicy sauce he would recommend. He smiled and brought out a dish of what looked like some kind of chili oil (pepper flakes, seeds, etc.). I was excited. However, to my surprise, this sauce had -- and let me be clear, this is by no means an exaggeration -- no flavor whatsoever, let alone any heat. It literally just tasted like oil, and I'm not sure how this is possible given the fact that there were mounds of crushed pepper in it. And let me repeat this for emphasis: I'm not saying that the pepper oil was too mild for my own personal tastes, or that I wasn't a fan of the flavor profile. I'm saying that there wasn't even a flavor to judge. The rice had a very burnt flavor, which was unfortunate. The hot and sour soup was decent. It definitely had a sour element and a mild kick. There was pork in it. However, at times I couldn't help but think that it tasted like those bottles of lemon-pepper dressing. I've been here a few times now over the years. Would I go back? Sure. But I'll go back because of the communal atmosphere and local charm, not because of the food.

We dined in as a family with the kids and everything was great. They were very busy since it was a Saturday night but still everything was delicious. This will be our new go to Chinese restaurant even the little kids enjoyed.

Good Chinese spot to eat in. Went here one night with my girl and we had a good time. My girl had a chicken vegetable dish which she enjoyed especially since the white meat was just right, perfectly cooked and thinly sliced the way she likes it. I tried the scallion pancakes since alot of people was raving about it. Lets keep raving coz it was delicious! As for my entree I was feeling healthy so I decided to go with an eggplant dish with garlic sauce. One of my favorite dishes now! :) The staff was excellent and quick. Would go back here again. The place was pretty busy for a wednesday night!

The worst Chinese food we have ever eaten. The fried rice tasted like dirty socks and the rest of our order was tasteless (probably better that way). We literally threw everything in the trash and ordered from somewhere else. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE EVER!

I was very impressed with their presentation. Food was excellent! I would definitely return again if in the area.

Finally a decent local Chinese food Resturant. Orange chicken was great. Fried rice was good. Lomain was great. Our three kids are very picky about their Chinese food: bravo to Jade, our kids approve...

Now this is not Asian Asian food, however, I must say, they make EXCELLENT American Asian food. The food is not too sweet or salty which is the downfall for most American Asian foods. The price is somewhat reasonable, going for less than $10 per meal. I've only been for lunch, so I can say in addition to your main course, you get a soup, highly recommend Hot and Sour, though it can be a little on the spicy side. In addition to the soup, you also get free Chinese tea (always good stuff when you get free tea). They also deliver and you could order ahead of time.

Very good food We were able to sit inside They took the coupon from NJ entertainment book

Went there with my family. Nice place, very attentive wait staff and very friendly. Food was excellent. Hard to find a very good Chinese restaurant that you can eat in and not feel like you are in a fast food take out place. If you are looking for a place to eat in, this is it. Great presentation and even better taste. Although this was our first time there, it will not be our last. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

I kinda like chinese grub....like Hop Kee or Wo Hop...IN NYC. As for suburban chinese food...ugh... Old white families, fat white couples, non-asians seem to eat here. They ain't even offer me chopsticks, yo! Sesame chicken...not crispy, kinda chewy and bland...not "savory". Pork was chewy and tasteless...and that sauce...yikes. * The service was pretty friendly and quick * ::drops chopsticks::

Umm... This isn't really authentic Asian food. I might be from Northern Jersey and spoiled a bit but really? It's hardly what I was expecting for a Chinese place in general. The staff was friendly, I'll give them that. Oh, and the fried crispy things they give you on arrival were good too. (Forgive me, I'm not really sure what they're called. Crispy noodles?) We ordered the deluxe bird's nest and just scallion pancakes. Scallion pancakes were OK. The sauce was right. The bird's nest included beef, shrimp, chicken, snowpeas, broccoli, and water chestnuts...and was pretty much a takeout dish served in a "nest" of noodles and placed on an elevated platform. Not at all amazing. As for the decor, it seemed like I was at a small diner. Blegh. Not the worst Chinese food I've ever had, I guess.... but this is Edison. I'd much rather go to a Korean place for a cheaper, better meal. :/

Ive gone here for over 30 years and it never disappoints. Their lo mien is delish and they have the best wonton soup but the number one dish i always get is sweet n sour chicken over brown rice. The staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. Stop by and enjoy some awesome authentic food!!

When I was in Edison NJ for business I knew nothing about the area. I was looking for a good Asian place so I logged into Yelp and found this place. The reviews sounded good so I put the address in my GPS and drove over. I was thrilled to find the veggie steamed dumplings and managed to eat all 8 by myself. Vegetarian selections were plentiful and very good. I went back a second time during my 5 days in town because the food was so good. Also, the owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. There is no alcohol served, but they pointed me to the store across the street. Highly recommended.

The food is strange. Can't place exactly what it was but all the food I had at this place is a bit off. Also the menu is strange. I ordered Chow Mein pork it was terrible as it has no noodles and the pork looked and tasted undercooked. I called to complain to be told Chow Mein doesn't have noodles. Strange as Mein stands for noodles. Every place I get chow Mein I get noodles. The representative said for Jade Dynasty they put onions not noodles in chow Mein. Very strange. I have had this food a few times as my company is near this location. Most people complained the serving size is too small. Best to go somewhere else.

My favorite sit down and take away place. Just love Lisa and all her family. We have been going for 4 generations, literally. My kids, us, parents grandparents

Jade Dynasty is one of my favorite restaurants. It's where I go when I need comfort food. The food tastes like my mother could have made it -- if she were Chinese! Everything there just tastes great. There are a good number of vegetarian choices as well as the usual chicken, beef, pork and seafood selections. I've never had a bad meal here, prices are reasonable and the staff is quick and courteous. Some of my favorite dishes: Steamed vegetable dumplings -- the dumpling wrappers are the thinnest I've ever had and the vegetable filling is minced into really fine pieces -- just perfect in the provided dipping sauce. Cold Noodle with Sesame Sauce -- yum, like spaghetti, except cold and with a peanutty sauce. Sliced Chicken with... anything -- I like they way Jade's kitchen slices their white meat chicken -- very thin and well cooked. It goes well with a variety of veggies and meats in Jade's combo platters. Moo Shu Pork with pancake -- my interpretation... Chinese burritos! But with julienne slices of pork and lots of crunchy cabbage. Eggplant with Garlic Sauce -- really sweet with a just the right amount of spiciness. Sauteed Snow Peas with Waterchestnuts -- Another great vegetarian choice.

Great Chinese food. Try the Amazing Chicken. Oh so good!

I was looking for a spot to sit down and have a quick dinner. Usually I don't give bad reviews but this restaurant serves bad quality food, bad atmosphere, and poor service. I won't come here again.

This place is super overpriced and the food just does not stack up. The scallion pancakes were ok, a little greasy, and fine after a quick toast... but not worth $7. Scallion pancakes are $3-4 everywhere else. Crab rangoon were also super small. I got the "Jade chicken" without any description of what the dish was to be adventurous. It was a mound of bland white meat with some broccoli buried underneath and a weird clear/white sauce. Just bizarre. Total was almost $30. Never again.

As a Asian person, I eat at a lot of Asian places with family, friends, etc. this place wasn't the very best in my opinion. I guess because today was labor day the waiters were on their iPads and such since it wasnt busy due to the holiday. The food quality wasnt very top notch. And the prices were insanely high. Tip: don't order the hot and sour soup unless you love pepper. They load it with pepper!

Great party room downstairs which is spacious and able to be rented out as long as you go with a party menu of theirs. Service spot on and food delicious, what more can one say? Faves: Gen Tsaos Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, Fried Dumplings!!!! Can't beat the lunch special for the price. Great way to try different things there without breaking the bank.
