Jade Garden

Great tasting Sesame Chicken, fried rice and crab cheese wonton. Very clean restaurant and fast service too. We will be back. Thank you. ♥️🌹

We spend $50.00 on dinner and ordered 4 spring rolls and 6 crab rangoons and they charge $3.00 for sweet and sour sauce. As local BV area residents we have been going to Jade Garden for 5 years and they used to include soup in lunch now it is ala carte. We have been going there less and less and there are there 3 new sushi restaurants in town so Jade Garden needs to step up their quality and value for the $$$.

Jade Garden is amazing. Please don’t read into the negative & dramatic reviews. I’m a head cook at another popular restaurant in town and order from here every week. What can I say? The customer service is outstanding. The food is fast, fresh, and consistent. For a family-owned local restaurant in Buena Vista, their prices are absolutely appropriate for the quality and portions of food you receive. A single serving gives me two full and satisfying meals. I’ve tried many things on their menu. They have a wide variety of options, so it comes down to your own individual taste. If you like Chinese food, you will find something here to LOVE. I guarantee that their ingredients are always fresh and the fryer oil is clean & maintained. The current owners have made an earnest effort to improve the quality and consistency of the food, and it shows! The atmosphere is very welcoming. They have a beautiful arrangement of plants that, clearly, have been given much care; which reflects in their service altogether. Every penny I spend at this restaurant is 100% worth it. (I recommend the Thai panang curry, Mongolian beef, and steamed dumplings!)

Never a bad choice.. One of my favorite places in the area.. Family run and owned.. I like going with the whole family so I can try meal choices I haven't tried yet.. Pictures of food next time.. Another great meal yesterday after a long day of playing with the dogs above treeline.. Thank you for filling out tummies with great mouthwatering food..

By far the worst disappointment in rice and Chinese food in my life! Don't Waste your time! You might as well go next door to the grocery store and get frozen box rice! Because that's what it feels like you are eating!🤢🤮 Shame on you people for disrespecting your heritage

Amazing food me and my boyfriend went for Date Nite and enjoyed this place. The food was delicious and good portions! If you are hungry and need good warm meal to fill this it is the place so coming here again if we visit Buena Vista!

A child care center posing as a Chinese Cuisine restaurant. Owner's child or relative wanted to play basketball in the restaurant. Children were playing in the parking lot and one was trying to climb on the outside windows. Hot tea was composed of a black tea, tea bag. My wife asked for fried rice. What was brought to the table was a warm bowl of white rice. She complained and a server took the bowl away but brought it back in 5 minutes with cold soy sauce poured over it and called "fried rice". My Tangerine chicken was under cooked and the vegetables (2-1 inch pieces of frozen broccoli, still cold) Servers (male and female) were courteous, professional and friendly. However, the food quality SUCKED! The atmosphere SUCKED. Cost of POOR experience $78 for 4 small entrees, 3 warm white rice, 1 fake fried rice and 4 non-alcoholic small drinks. Not including tip 20%.Food not servers fault. TO THE OWNER : FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME. YOU HAVE NO PRIDE IN YOUR FOOD.

Service was very polite and attentive. The food was delicious! We will highly recommend. The portions are smaller than most places but still very filling.

we're locals & love jade garden for the quintessential cozy night in w/a movie! the fried rice is my go-to! their service is great -- always so fast & served w/kindness & a smile!

Great food and great price. Wish we had one in Salida ! Friendly , clean, delicious. highly recommended

It was delicious! We had sesame chicken and kung pao. We couldn't be happier we came in. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely Awful! We ordered stringy cardboard! Oops, I mean we ordered sesame chicken. What we got was itty bitty hard balls of breading and tough strings! (Which are stuck in my teeth) Only one piece out of seven pieces of chicken was soft and edible. You know it's terrible when the best, freshest item you receive is the fortune cookie! Cost was also high! Save your money and go elsewhere.

We look forward to stopping in to Jade Garden when in the area. However, our last visit on Halloween was a bit much. We didn't get to eat without their child at the edge of our table talking. One of the adults that work there should have redirected him. To top it off he told my 44 year old daughter she's old and said I'm really old. And he told us the crab Rangoon we ordered had been in the refrigerator 10 days. Not sure if that's typical.

Amazing! My fiancé and I have ordered from there tons of times and have yet to finndd something we didn't just love. The staff is super friendly.

we ordered for take out, take out service itself was awful not sure how it's going to be for dining. the lady over the counter is so aggressive and wouldn't pay attention to what we are ordering, requested for plastic ware and napkins, denied and food wasn't packed properly

The food is super good! I love the veggie tofu soup so so good! Great service people are super nice! Food comes out super fast and it's great!

Very good, , tasted fresh and flavor was great. Entire family enjoyed. We ordered fried rice, tofu home style and red curry

Food was great, but for almost $25 for one serving. It should come with a fork and some napkins. Seems expensive for a meal, but I guess that's just the world we're living in!

This place is amazingly accommodating! We were in town for a wedding and due to unforeseen circumstances, part of the wedding party arrived too late for the rehearsal dinner. And they were able to accommodate us with a phone call speedy service dishes were ready at closing time. And was able to accommodate 25 people no problem They even waited the extra time for us to get there after closing. they rock thank you very much. Good job guys.

We have eaten at this restaurant since it has been here, Food generally OK, not outstanding. Last night we got take out- fried rice just regular rice , brown colored, no veggis, egg etc.Mushy. One order sweet/sour shrimp? (not!) fish or something ground up with a heavy coating- very mushy. Mongolian beef- looked like it had been prepared in a blender, just a blob of mush. Will NEVER eat there again, and would advise no one else to try it. Was all inedible. To be fair?, took it back this morning and they did refund our money.

Great food and great service! We often visit Asian restaurants for the vegan options when traveling in small towns. We got Homestyle Tofu and Kung Pao Tofu. The lunch portions are significantly smaller than dinner portion, but lunch comes with a spring roll and fried rice. Dinner comes with jasmine rice.

My husband and I ate at Jade Restaurant on July 29. It is a very popular restaurant in the Buena Vista area, but they continued to follow covid guidelines. When we arrived, there were no tables available, so we waited at a table outside. We did not twiddle our thumbs while waiting, but the server took our order. As soon as a table was available inside, we were immediately seated and served with our food. Excellent and efficient service! The food was absolutely delicious! It is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Colorado. Food was very tasty and not salty. Vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. No wonder people flock to this restaurant. We will definitely eat here again when we drive through.

Ordered the Jade Appetizers and a curry dish. Thinking I would split both with my husband. I did not even think to ask (are there at least two or more pieces of each for the Jade appetizers), plural which was 10 dollars. My hubby brought home the order. There was one spring roll, one lonely shrimp, and one crab rangoon which my husband put in his mouth immediately plus a small sweet and sour soup. Never have I ever paid ten buck and received one piece of each. They are money driven in their portions. Beware. Called and enquired and was given the "well if you had paid $20 you would have received two pieces each". Just wanted to write this so others are not surprised like we were. I'm sure everyone is thankful to have some chines in a small town like this but owners, please don't be stingy and take advantage of the good people here. Come on. Case of stingy owners, closed .

Tasty and fast. Food was made well for a quick lunch. Was sitting outside and they kindly carried out to go order out to us. Skip the rip off food trucks.

BV is limited when it comes to restaurants. We tried this place out of a lack of other alternatives. Not a very good choice. Over $40 for an order of beef lo mein,an order of sweet & sour chicken, and some crab wontons! No egg rolls, no soup, that's it. And the food wasn't very good. Don't waste your money or your time here.

This was the third or fourth time I've been here. honestly the food isn't that bad, it's the woman that works/owns the place. First time she was bitching at her son, I literally lost my appetite I felt so sorry for the kid. second time she was upset with someone, and it was pretty obvious. she is usually barking at someone! tonight I ordered from the kid and sat waiting for the order up front. She came out from back but I couldn't see her. heard her talking but thought she was on phone. next she is asking what my number was. I wasn't given one, she rolled her eyes and asked what I ordered. This woman seems to be very unhappy with her life and rude as hell to EVERYONE. some people shouldn't be allowed out of the back room. that B is one of them. If you must eat Chinese, the food isn't bad. if you order sweet and sour, ask for extra sauce as they are very stingy with it.

Great food! Awesome service and friendly staff. We ordered Veg friend rice, chicken lo mein and pineapple curry. All5/5. Lunch comes with a spring roll! Definitely recommend it.

Quality food, Still a little hungry afterwards but the crab ragoons were delicious:) and that sweet and sour chicken hit hard

Was in the mood for Chinese food in town and so we gave it a try here. Food wasn't that good and was overpriced. We even found a piece of metal in the tangerine chicken just thankful we didn't end up eating it. Very disappointing.

We ate here on Sept 18th in a party of 4. Service was prompt and friendly and the food we ordered came out faster than expected, piping hot! Everyone commented positively on the flavor and portion size. Our four dinner meals, two appetizers, and three beers came out to $98 (including 20% tip).

I ordered 3 things off the menu to go today. My first time hoing there. When we got home 15 minutes later and opened the bag, we found cold food that was cooked a long long time ago. After spending 42.00, i called to complain and was treated very rudly. Upon return, the asian woman demanded to know what was wrong with the food. I told her. She offered me half of my money back. I told her i wish a full refund for the substandard food. She told me to call police or a court. I left food and left the restaurant. Beware food to go. Inspect carefully before leaving. I will never return to this restaurant and will share my experience with everyone in the county. Find a good chinese food restaurant. This isnt good at all. Poor service, rude and terrible food.

Being the only Chinese's place in town I gave it a try while passing through. Food was just so so. I placed my order & asked to replace the broccoli & onions with mushrooms only. The meal came with barely any rice at which time I asked for a little more. I receive the bill & wow, really? So they charged $2.50 extra for mushrooms & another $2.50 for very little "extra" rice. No mention of any up charge. Sad, but won't go back. Less than an hour later my stomach was turning and got cleaned out if you know what I mean.

We always get good tasting food and fast service. Kind people work there, very helpful.

Best traditional Chinese food in Buena Vista. We had the wonton soup and the lemon chicken. The wonton soup has one of the most flavorful broths we've ever had. Lemon chicken was good too. The sauce has a bright and light sweet taste And the chicken was fried in a light batter on top of a steamed broccoli. We've also had he lo mein which can easily be consumed by 1 person. Good sized portions with good value. Eat here if you're looking for Asian food in the valley.

For straight arrow Chinese food, this place wins the day. Now, I like me some Chinese food. And The Garden is a tad pricey compared to a similar place in Denver or COS. But, It's consistent. That's big. It always tastes the same. That is the sign of a well run line. Here comes my confession. I hate non-traditional veggies in my food. They cut the veggies out and, for $3, they give you extra meat. Which means lunch the next day means you are not dodging the wilted zucchini. It's an anchor business in town and a go to for a quick dinner. Except Monday...but that's cool.

My family recently ordered from Jade while on vacation in BV. We chose it based on the high reviews, but honestly it was awful. We all enjoy spicy dishes and so ordered the General Tso's, sesame, and tangerine chicken. They all tasted the same and had almost zero spice. The chicken was mostly dark meat, breaded and fried to within an inch of unchewable. It was also super pricy for what we got. I do not recommend if you enjoy Chinese.

I do like the food here. I had the garlic chicken and my husband had Mongolian beef. The downside is it is pricy for the amount you get. The lunch combos do not come with soup so that's over 2.00 extra. Though the food is eatable we won't be returning. They need to rethink the prices or provide more for what you pay. Note: Bailey has an excellent Chinese restaurant. Great price and you get your money's worth.

Always good food and service. Fast but good quality. Locally owned and operated. Seasame chicken and chicken curry were not too spicy. Portions are plentiful.

It's just not great. Prices have increased, which is the norm lately, but it's simply not worth it. As much as I want to support local, we can't do this one. We've tried it twice - you know, everyone deserves a second shot if it's mediocre and local. It's still, unfortunately, mediocre - maybe slightly less than mediocre.

Great food! We ordered pick up and it was ready on time, Pleasant service, and we thought it was delicious.

Okay I was not having high expectations for a Chinese place in a small town. But, this place easily exceeds most places I have had Chinese food. The sweet and sour was one of the best I have ever had. I got the chicken with vegetables and hey added a little spice to it for me. They perfectly spiced my meal and everything was very fresh and tasty. The sauce was awesome. My wife got the pork with veggies and loved her as well and she is not big into Chinese food. So for her to say it is good is definitely a good sign. Craving Asian in this town then get her.

I was not expecting much from this place , but was pleasantly surprised. Food was good and service was fast and friendly. Ordered the sesame chicken and tangerine double. Both were very good. The Sesame Chicken was good and crispy with a little kick and also not too sweet. The Tangerine Double was deep fried chicken and shrimp. Good dish with a nice crunch especially with the sauce on the side. I only wish it came with more for the price. Overall good spot and will try again next time we crave Chinese food when visiting Buena Vista.

service was bad, 25% forced tip, food was very salty and staff had attitude, very very very bad

We go here to dine or for take out. My husband loves the Pad Thai and I've liked all the chicken dishes I've ordered. The decor is simple, but we've found the service very good.

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.

We really loved our meals from Jade Garden. It was easy to order, and when we went to pick it up we were met by a really nice kid that rang us up. Better than most Chinese food we've had.

OVERPRICED. OVERRATED. Honestly the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. The dishes I ordered here were completely different then the exact same dishes at every other Asian restaurant I've ever been to. The quality is very very low, and the meat seemed highly questionable. The waitress did not seem inclined to help us whatsoever. We didn't like the dish we ordered, didn't even eat it, and still had to pay $30. $15 each for a small dish that would be $10 anywhere else?!?! Obnoxious prices for bad quality, underwhelming food. I was really looking forward to a good meal and was extremely disappointed by this restaurant.

Me ma and pa went here for din din and the Dinner Specials menu meals are "to die for" if you's feeling hunger by all means visit this here place for premium meal they's potions good and the prices are good too.

Came in for lunch and was surprised with how great an experience it was. Great choices on the lunch menu. Our waitress was efficient, sincere, and quick with whatever we needed. The food was DELICIOUS and were perfect portions. They also serve alcohol if desired. We absolutely will choose here again if we are ever back through this town.

This place is fantastic. Showed up 15 minutes before closing and they were up for a to go order. Got garlic shrimp, Mongolian beef, spring rolls and egg drop soup. The order was up without 10 or less minutes and everything was delicious and spicy as expected and no mistakes in our order. I'm sure most of us would be cautious about a joint like this but 100% give them a try.

Came here at 11:30. With road work going on it's dicey to make a left turn in the parking lot. Parking lot not big enough for RV's unless you park at ShopCo next door. But I wouldn't do an RV at this time as the RV will get straddled in a HUGE dip to get in. Had my soup within a minute after ordering. Had my mongolian beef a minute later. I ordered "as spicy as you can get!" It was spicy enough for most people's taste but I could have taken it one notch higher. But it was good! Hot and sour soup was good but came in a tiny bowl about 3 gulps. Prices were abot right.

Loved this place! The food was so fresh and tasted great! When the waitress came around to check on us I wouldn't even stop eating to answer her question. Sorry, it was that good.

Came with a group of 3 and none of us got a fortune cookie. Food was excellent though!

DO NOT PUT SOY SAUCE IN THE WONTON SOUP!! best broth I've ever had. It's delicious! Mongolian beef was excellent too. Delicious flavor.

Ok, so my husband and I have joked about this place for years and said we would never go...well, we went tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!!! We live in Summit County and have such a hard time finding good, classic Chinese food! Our hearts, stomachs and appetites are happy, fulfilled and met! Honestly, from the egg rolls to the wonton and egg drop soups to the Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef.... YUMMMMMM!!! So happy to find this place after years of wondering!

Went here for dinner, the restaurant was busy. We were seated quickly and our drinks arrived shortly after we were seated. We ordered spring rolls which showed up burnt on the ends. Our meals were so so at best and seemed to be small portions for the price. Also the window next to our table seemed to have a life time of dust on it and really needed cleaned. We won't be back.

It was absolutely horrible, overpriced for shitty ass food. DO NOT RECOMMEND. the waiters couldn't even describe the meals they were giving to you. the lady running the front desk had a horrible attitude about being confronted about why a meal tasted like body odor.
