Jade Garden — Restaurant in Portage

Wasn't impressed. Ordered a Beef Kow, Mandarin Chicken, Crabmeat Delights, and almond cookies.

Fried rice came with the beef and chicken, but instead of putting it in 2 separate containers, they put all the fried rice in one container. Wasn't an issue since we were all splitting the meal, but what if we weren't? The servings for the beef and chicken wasn't a lot. It came in the flat containers, not the tall round ones. They left some out and didn't even stuff it like some other restaurants do.

The Crabmeat delights tasted ok. Sweeter than what we're used to, but the size of these things were tiny!! 3 of them would probably amount to 1.

The almond cookies I'd pass on, unless you like them super hard.

All of this was about $30 btw...I've gotten much more food for that amount at other places...

Summed up, in a pinch this place is ok...try elsewhere if you can. Wish the portions were larger...

Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant in Porter County. I love this place. The owners are always friendly and attentive. The food is fantastic and the service is perfect. If anything they are too cheap. Their lunch specials are very inexpensive and I actually told the owner last week that she needs to increase all of her prices. Their Chicken Rice Soup is the best I have ever had in my life. I actually stop in and buy it a quart at a time. I have been coming here for a long time and I'm never disappointed. Best restaurant in Portage and best Chinese food in...

The only redeeming quality about this restaurant was the service, even though I was the only customer. The food is overpriced and not good. I ordered wontons as an appetizer and got a plate full of fried greasy dough. I ordered shrimp chow mein to go, ate the four shrimps that I received and threw the rest out. I bought a bag of cookies from the front counter, they were stale and hard as a rock, also threw these out. The restaurant smelled like sewer and bathroom was disgusting (smell). The city should really check this restaurant out. This is $20 I'll...
