I first off want to say that it was difficult leaving a three star review for this business because the employees were so incredibly pleasant and nice. However, I felt a little deceived when I received my Shrimp with Vegetables. Had there been a description on the menu of what it consisted of, I would not have ordered it. You see, I adore Chinese vegetables. I love love love water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, snow peas, etc. and that is the main reason and only reason I order Shrimp w Vegetables. Every single time we go to a Chinese restaurant I look at the Chicken with Cashews, I consider the Sweet -and-Sour Chicken or Moo Goo Gai Pan and possibly some other wonderful looking dish but Every. Single. Time. I faithfully come back to my Shrimp with Vegetables. I know that at Jade Garden it would've been amazing because the sauce was great but there were no Chinese vegetables. There was broccoli, a couple of carrot slices and zucchini and that was about it. Not one pea pod, not a single water chestnut, and certainly no bamboo shoots. There might've been a little bit of bok choy. But I will tell you I was incredibly disappointed, especially because we had not had any Chinese in a long time. I took a couple of bites of the shrimp but honestly I was so sad I couldn't eat much more than that. I might sound spoiled and you're probably saying "Sheesh.... First world problems" or even "what a dumb ass" because after all there were vegetables but in my 40+ years of ordering Chinese food have never had such a disappointing meal of Shrimp w Vegetables. I will take part of the responsibility as I did assume instead of asking specifically what vegetables are included with this dish. Say what you will but my only intent here is to save another Chinese vegetable lover the utter disappointment I felt tonight.
