Jade Fountain Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Wayzata

Good Chinese food, in a nice clean place, it is suburban Chinese rather than genuine Chinese, but it is in a suburb in America so it is what is expected. If you are anywhere near Chinese in your rice consumption you will need to ask for more but that is better than wasting rice, and it is quickly provided with a smile and no extra charge. Tea was included along with water so only the food needed to be payed for, totally un-American but at least one of the staff appeared to belong to the ethnic group the food derives from, so maybe they just haven't learned yet that drinks are where American restaurants make much of their money. I don't know they have been in business there for years, maybe they just like it that way, I know I do. It was surprising empty on my last visit, but it was good food and authentic enough that when my companion switched languages she was understood and responded to in kind. If you want your food too spicy for an American just ask for it moderate in proper Chinese with an accent from one of the northern provides (I'm forgetting how to spell it) but she said she asked for mild and the little I tasted was beyond my flavor pallet. But beef with broccoli ordered in English came exactly...

This place owner guy has the MOST NASTY Attitude person I ever have to deal with!! Cold weather, kicking all of the people whose delivering foods for his customers, out of the restaurant he won’t say when order “might” be gonna be ready, instead with yelling and saying “I don’t know when it’s gonna be ready,I have too many orders!” Unbelievable nasty attitude wow!!!

I asked him why can’t I wait inside, he said cause of COVID, but everyone dine in sitting around side by side and eating?? They don’t get Covid??? Non sense!!

If he’s too embarrassed about having food delivery personal wait in his restaurant, don’t deal with food delivery companies!

I understand if he doesn’t want bunch of people to wait around entrance but at least talk nice about it. And there was many empty and chairs to sit and wait, why didn’t they put them away if he doesn’t want anyone to sit there??

Hopefully I never have to go here again if I do, I like to deal with a nice person not...

I work late, wanted Chinese food that was open at the time and remembered that this place wasn't bad so I did a very simple order of sesame paste noodles and sesame chicken because that's my go to. Sesame noodles were solid but the chicken was dry and giving freezer burnt. Couple hours later I threw up from food poisoning. Anyways, I might've been able to tolerate all that again if this place were not more expensive and quantifiably less flavorful than Leeann Chin(went there the next day and the comparison was like fine dining). Can't wait for the owner to explain what makes the food worth the same price...
