Jade Terrace — Restaurant in Independence

I have always been more than happy with the special #2. The portion sizes are huge and I love it. Id prefer less sweet and sour sauce in the box when you order it to go, but it seems like theres always a relatively equal mix of fully sauced chicken pieces and some only about half. So you can elect to drown your chicken in more of the delicious sauce or eat a half doused ones as is. The chow mein is perfect. Pork fried rice is a great addition that lets you enjoy rice with some appreciated flavor. I originally didnt like the crab puffs but they grew on me quickly.

Ive seen some complain that the outside needs more cleaning or that the environment needs some adjustment. I think the concerns of the outside are fair enough, but Ive never felt the place was unclean. If anything, I take small town restaurants with dated exteriors but fine interiors as a sign of the truly good stuff. And my experience with Jade terrace has basically just been that: the good stuff.

I am currently full to the brim with a special #2 after thinking about it all day and not eating much. You know what Im not full of? Regret. The special #2 filled me up so much, I have no room for it. Great place for...

Hard to give more than 3 stars. The service was.. meh..the lady at the counter was just playing videos on her phone the entire time she took my order.

Their Lemon chicken is disgusting. It smells bad, looks bad and tastes bad. How on earth they sell it and keep it on their menu is beyond me. The place has a real dive bar feel. For as much as they charge, I would hope they would do a little upkeep on...

I came in, and she was fiddling under the counter, so I waited. She said, "Can I help you?" I said, "I would like to have lunch." She acted like I was bothering her. She tried to sit me at a dirty table. When I pointed it out, she waved me to another. Despite saying I was there for lunch, she didn't give me a lunch menu, I had to ask for one. When I ordered, she didn't even ask what soup I wanted. The food was below average, cleanliness was horrible, water stains on the ceiling, clutter and junk was the scenery. I will NEVER go back. I wish I wouldn't have gone in the...
