Jade Garden — Restaurant in South Lake Tahoe

It's the only neighborhood place left in Walnut Creek and the food is fantastic! If you ask my parents then the Mu Shu Pork is the best, while I like anything in their black bean sauce! YUM! When the shopping center tried to kick them out by upping the rent ...the entire community came out and wait in a line all the way down the shopping center, around the corner down the block and into the next street in protest. It was seriously awesome! And that's why we can all still eat our fave Walnut Creek Chinese today at Encina Shopping Center in Walnut Creek, CA! It was quite a site & a bit of a wait ... but to save everyone's favorite place that wasnt in the crowded, annoying, more snooty (all of the Dub-C is but the area surrounding Mt.

Feel like that flavor will be harder to find as older chinese restaurants disappear. Anyways, highly recommended if your in the mood for chinese food in...

A popular local favorite, we were regular customers 8 years ago when we lived in SLT, back then it was called Chinese Grill Express. Even though the buffet entries greet you upon entering they have a full regular Menu at the counter which we always order from. The quality is outstanding and always consistently fresh.
