Jade House — Restaurant in Diamond Bar

Food: 4/5 Stars Very good Chinese home style cooking. You won't find anything exotic here. It's a place where local Chinese family comes for dinner. I've seen family with grandparents, parents, and children dined here every time I came. Nothing was salty, and everything was at least tasty.

Atmosphere: 2/5 Stars I'm going to be honest without editorial here. This place needs major clean up and freshen up. It's been in the same spot for over 20 years and that's a good thing, but things ran down and needed replacement. Nothing has changed and that's a bad thing.

Dust was on every ledges that the eyes can see. Carpet was do dirty I think my shoes were more clean. Menu on the table was dirty and sticky to the touch. Menus taped on the wall are falling off. The cashier area is falling apart. This is border line one star rating but nothing was broken visibly so I gave it the benefit of a doubt.

Service: 3.5/5 Stars Good, fast, and efficient service. Everyone was more than friendly and check in on you often. This is one of a few Chinese restaurants left that still uses table cloth for every table clean up. That's a lot of work if you ask me.

Expense: 5/5 Stars Cheap, cheap, cheap. Did I mention cheap? Yes cheap. I can't even cook at home for less.

Return: 3/5 Stars I would return more often if the dining area was more clean. Anyone that is used to the Japanese/Korean restaurant level of cleanliness will not like it here. I suggest that you order to go and eat at work or home.

Overall average is close to 4 stars? I'm surprised at the numbers but the rating is objective...

As someone who's new to the area, my visit to Jade's House Seafood & BBQ Restaurant left me rather disappointed. Despite my initial anticipation, the experience fell short in several aspects.

One noticeable drawback was the cleanliness of the place. It didn't meet the standards I would expect from a restaurant. The overall tidiness was lacking, which was quite off-putting.

The staff, on the other hand, moved at lightning speed. While efficiency can be commendable, it felt almost rushed and impersonal, leaving little room for a welcoming and comfortable dining experience.

One aspect that truly shocked and grossed me out was the sight of dead ducks hanging in plain view. It's not only unappetizing but also unsettling to see such sights in a restaurant. This kind of display may deter people who are sensitive to such visuals or looking for a more pleasant dining environment.

Taking all these factors into account, I can confidently say that I wouldn't choose to eat at Jade's House Seafood & BBQ Restaurant again. There are other dining options in the area that offer a better overall experience in terms of cleanliness, ambiance, and comfort. I would recommend exploring other eateries to find a more satisfying dining experience in the new...

Dive-y Chinese restaurant in Diamond Bar. Came here around 5:30pm for an early dinner with my parents and were seated immediately. Credit cards are accepted but there’s a minimum charge of ~$15. No checks are accepted. There’s indoor dining available (no outdoor seating) as well as takeout. They cater too, and most people who came seemed to have opted for that.

There’s a variety of seafood options, and my mom particularly liked the fish maw soup, which has a texture similar to egg drop soup but with pieces of fish. The fried chicken with macadamia but was something that I hadn’t seen before, and wanted to try. The brown sauce is similar to what my mom would cook at home and came with whole pieces of roasted macadamia nuts. The BBQ pork fried rice was standard, and the pork came in small pieces. The food comes with jasmine tea. It’s your standard authentic Asian spot that’s a bit of a hole in the wall (it’s located in the Walmart center), but the service was kind and the food prices were reasonable (~$55 for...
