When we checked into our campground, the menu for Jade Garden was available in the office. We enjoy Chinese food, the prices seemed reasonable, and the reviews of this restaurant (at that time) were 3.7 out of 5, which isn't too bad.
We were a party of eight and were seated at a large table. Of the eight people there, two decided to get the Buffet, which was $18.95. Beverages were $2.50. Four of us decided to get the Dinner for Three, and share it amongst the four of us because we know that there is usually more food than that number of people can eat. (We were right about that and did have a few leftovers to take with us.) The other two people decided to order a Dinner for One. One ordered the dinner with chicken balls, and the other ordered the dinner with sweet and sour pork. When their food arrived, there was lots to eat and they took leftovers home, but the person with chicken balls left the majority of them behind. She said they tasted off. The other person with sweet and sour pork said her meat was ok.
After we placed the orders, we had to wait a long time for the food to finally come. When it did finally arrive for my husband, myself and the other two people that had ordered the Dinner for Three, the spring rolls were not brought. I asked the waitress where the spring rolls were and she just told me, "Later." Okay, that was fine, I expected that they would show up in the next 5 minutes or so, but they never did. We were almost finished eating all the other food when I was finally able to flag down a different waitress and told her we never did get the spring rolls, so she went back to the kitchen and brought them out right away.
We found that any food that was deep-fried was very greasy, much more greasy than we think is acceptable. The spring rolls, when they finally arrived, hardly had any filling whatsoever, but we were able to identify a few shreds of carrot, and a bit of cabbage, but didn't see any meat. Of course because they were fried, they were also greasy. The food was not at all what we were expecting of a Chinese restaurant.
The two people that were having the Buffet waited until our food arrived and then went up to the buffet to get their food. They came back with hardly any food on their plates, and said most of the containers in the buffet were empty and that they would have to go back later to get more. In the end, I noticed that they hardly ate anything, even though they went back a second time, and I would hazard to say that the best part of their meal was the dessert. I know for a fact that they greatly overpaid for what they ate. I suspect they would have eaten more, but either there was no food available, or they didn't care for the food that they did get.
There were other people in the restaurant but it was just an average sized crowd, definitely not full by any means. The service and food were not good. We were so disappointed as we were expecting a delicious Chinese meal. I did not complain, just paid the bill, knowing that we would never go back there when visiting again in Moose Jaw.
We would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. While the prices were reasonable, the food, at least in our experience, wasn't good at all, and sadly, the service...

Read moreJade Garden has changed a lot from our previous visits. Their service is spot on, with very friendly staff. The young lady Jann taking orders is always polite and provide friendly service every time we visit.
This time we visited, we noticed they have an updated menu. We tried their chicken wings, Montreal ribs, and chicken balls and it’s very delicious. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, their BBQ Pork and Low Mein are also delicious and a must try. Can’t find the same anywhere else. My wife loved their Crab rangoons, it was just fulfilling. Apparently, they also have roast crispy BBQ duck, BBQ ribs in racks and lamb chop pot if you pre-order it a day or two in advance.
Unfortunately, like many restaurants during covid, they don’t have buffet opened yet. Otherwise, the buffet will go good with their newly relaxing atmosphere as well.
All in all, we recommend Jade Garden for getting Authentic Chinese food and the experiences were...
