China Jade — Restaurant in Town of Harrietstown

The food was very good. I had a spicy beef dish and my wife had the egg drop soup. Everything was very fresh and what I REALLY Liked was the fact they did not kill the food with salt (like at most Chinese restaurants). The woman (who I assume was the owner) who took our order and served us was a culturally complex experience in herself. As a psychologist I am used to dealing with tricky personalities so it was kind of fun and interesting and different to be treated so, and I put this nicely, indifferently. All said though, I would rather get a really tasty meal from a difficult personality, than a really bad meal from a pleasant personality. Life is all about choices and trade-offs and so...

I almost chose not to go to this restaurant after reading all the reviews about the person that works the counter being rude. At this reasonable price point I am not going to this restaurant for the purpose of high and service or a bougie Atmosphere. Well, the lady with the glasses may be lacking customer service personality, she’s all that business. In that I’m not going for counter side manners, I am pretty picky when it comes to you the quality of the Chinese food and flavor of sauces. Having said that this food was delicious. I had general Tso’s chicken. And a few other items and love them all. So you’re looking for a good food don’t let the reviews about someone’s personality....

China Jade is the ‘go to’ spot if you want to eat in or takeaway a meal near or after 9:00 (pm that is). Saranac Lake is a lovely village but everyone goes to sleep at an early hour compared to big city life.

We ordered dumplings, broccoli and chicken, and Singapore noodles. The dishes are reasonably priced and filling. Most of the food was fried- it’s a bit heavy but the food was hot and hit the spot after an afternoon on the trails.

We ate at a table near large windows in front where we could watch the ( quiet) streetscape.

Lots of takeaway ordering up to 9:30 when the kitchen...
