China Jade Horse — Restaurant in Carson City

Google asked for an update since we were just here. The food is still consistently fantastic as of June 2025. My kids still eat/love the sesame chicken and fried rice, and I still get the Mongolian beef and fried rice. Not one variation or "bad day" and we have eaten here SO MANY times over the years.

My review from years ago:

The food here is very good. So much so that we have eaten here 3 to 4 times since first trying it a month or two back.

This is now one of my kids' favorite restaurants. They really enjoy the egg drop soup, sesame chicken, and fried rice. My kiddos are young, and when we eat here, they EAT. Which is also why we come back. Gotta love a place where the kids eat well.

I'm a big Mongolian beef fan. So, a delicious Mongolian beef is VERY important to me. If the Mongolian isn't good, we wouldn't be back. They have an absolutely fantastic Mongolian beef. And if I'm being honest, this is one of my favorite restaurants as well.

But it's not just the egg drop soup, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and fried rice that are delicious. Pretty much every single dish we have ordered (my husband and MIL tend to try other things on the menu) are delicious. I don't remember having a miss yet. My MIL has ordered the walnut shrimp a couple of times, and every single time, the shrimp is cooked beautifully. I don't remember what other things they ordered, but they always say the food was very good.

On a final note, the pricing is fantastic for the quality and deliciousness of food.

If you read this full review, hey, good on you! Now go reward yourself with some great food at...

Just tried the Curry Beef lunch special! It was better than expected. Nice mild curry flavor, not overpowering. Came with soup and chow mein and some appetizers. I'll get this one again.

This little hole in the wall joint is really worth coming to. They have all the American lunch specials, but they also have some real good ala carte dishes.

I had the Green Beans and Chicken with black bean sauce. OMG that was the most tender chicken I ever had in a Chinese restaurant. It wasn't chewy at all like a lot of other places serve. The sauce was perfectly balanced.

Also ordered was the potstickers. They were browned beautifully and the filling was good, but the skins were just a bit thick. We ate them all though. Someone ordered egg rolls at our table and yeah, I'd skip those, kinda small and not so good compared to other places in town. One of the few misses here, but overall , I'd say Jade Horse is well...

I do not leave reviews typically and I certainly don't like your typical Americanized Chinese food, I have always despised it! I love all kinds of food, most Asian cuisine is right up my alley, but Chinese food and I have had it out over the years and I have been left disappointed most of the time.

HOWEVER, China Jade Horse is in a class of its own! This is the freshest, most wonderful Chinese food I've had outside of Chinatown in NYC! You can really tell that they have made everything fresh, using whole foods, and it is not overly seasoned, cooked to death, and is delicious! I hot the orange chicken with fresh orange sauce, egg flower soup, sweet and sour pork, my husband got scallops and chow mein, we shared everything and it was all wonderful! This is definitely the place where we'll get our Chinese food from now on!...
