Jade Delight Meadowbank — Restaurant in Sydney

I have been going to Jade Delight for over 10 years. Normally everything is pretty good. I ordered the meal and asked for 2 wine glasses and 2 glasses of water. The waitress even asked me if we wanted tap water or bottled water. Last night was not too busy and we were made to wait for our wine glasses. We had to ask again for the wine glasses.

The mushy filling and over-fried Spring rolls made me question the quality of ingredients and whilst there was beef in the beef dish, the sauce was terrible and the cuts were thick. Quick service - maybe you just gotta know...

As someone with a Chinese background, I found the food here to be very poor. The salt and pepper pork was awful – the coating was thick, clearly pre-made, and easily the worst I’ve had. Other dishes like the beef fillet and seafood were also substandard. The sauces (勾芡) were far too heavy and showed a lack of professional skill. The menu is outdated, stuck in the 80s–90s Cantonese takeaway style, which might work in a regional area, but not in Meadowbank where diners expect authentic, high-quality Chinese food. I...
