Food is excellent, so please don't let the outdated exterior scare you away. Staff was friendly and food came out quick!
4 out of 5 stars due to the fact that the waitress only speaks fragmented English, and another young woman speak no English. So, for those --like me--who are unilingual--it is then difficult to accurately convey. I always find the need to speak to manager, for the most part--still it's frustrating. Still, the food is always very good. The service is sufficient and always very clean and maintained with everything. The people that join me have also enjoyed their meal here at Desert Jade, as well!
It's actually #15 for the sesame chicken lunch special! I do like #16 though sorry for the mixup!
Just had lunch at Desert Jade. Still the best Sesame Chicken in town. Love this place!
Happened to be on this side of town after years away. Happy to see that our old favorite Chinese restaurant was Still around & open! Building & parking lot are still ugly - SO WHAT - don't take a selfie outside! Pleasant service. Friendly, attentive servers. Food was hot & fresh! Lovely hot pot of mild tea, the only time I drink it "straight", no sugar. Sweet & Sour soup, very fulsome, lots of good ingredients. Not super sour but very very tasty way to whet the palate. Egg Fried Rice is a family fav, nicely done. Makes great leftovers too. Kung Pao Beef. They do it RIGHT here, deep fried, order a "7" level heat if you want a nice tingly feeling on your scalp and in your mouth. Got Spicier in our leftover bin and a couple of days later it tried to burn through the styrofoam haha (SO Gooood!!) Hot Tip: I told the server that I really love curry in Indian food but had never tried Chinese, what did he recommend? He said the Singapore Rice Noodles (hiding in the Chow Mein section). SO GOOD. Those super thin noodles coated (not drowned) in a lovely curry with generous portions of shrimp and pork. Just delicious. and again - amazing Leftovers. We enjoyed this Dinner and the extra lunches that leftovers provided So Much we are already planning to get over that way again next month. GO SUPPORT LOCAL OWNERS and enjoy the beautiful food in an ugly building.
Yummy yummy for my tummy! The reviews on Yelp were mixed but we decided to give it a go anyway. We ordered the pot stickers, tangerine chicken and spicy (5) chicken and vegetables. We were promptly served hot tea and water. The tea was delicious. The pot stickers were very meaty. Our dishes were pretty spicy for a 5 heat value. Tons of meat and veggies, el dente. We had a lot to take home. The service was great and cleared dishes promptly. Tables were super clean and Chinese decor was minimal but nice. We will go back.
This place is a hidden jem. Lovely staff, very clean, delicious hot, fresh food. Definitely give them a try. The lunch is excellent!
I love Desert Jade. Not too many Chinese restaurants that are this nice with full bar menu. Food is always fresh and spot on. Totally forgot to take photos.. so when I return... I will add them. A must try.
