Food 8/10 foodThe food is flavorful and I enjoyed the wonton soup immensely. The problem is the portion size for the premium price. Look at my pictures and use the soy sauce packet as reference and you can see how small the dim sum is and the meat fillings. Again the flavor is good, the portions is small.Service not rated (mobile order)Ambiance not rated (mobile order)More food stuff @vin.foodjournal

The food was excellent. All the vegetables were cooked perfectly with slight al dente, the flavors were rich, fresh and full. The service was professional, friendly and timing on dishes coming out was perfect. I highly recommend this place.

I dont know why everyone is so hard on these new owners? The wonton soup was the best weve had in town, the wonton soup at Empress near us was SO disappointing, bland and flavorless.The chow mein was good and not overcooked or overly salty. The Szechuan shrimp were not as spicy as I prefer but were crunchy without the shrimp being overcooked and rubbery.Friendly, curtious service.Seriously why would you go to another subpar Chinese restaurant in Napa?

Jade Garden Chinese Restaurant is a tricky place to locate. It is a couple blocks off of Trancas Street. Its in an old, very small shopping complex. Signage, in front of the restaurant, is not the best. It was my first time picking up food there & I drove by it three times, gave up & got out of my car (I knew I was close), & found it once on foot.The restaurant is old & basic. Thus, the atmosphere was only average. Most importantly, on my first visit, I ordered shrimp chow mein, chicken fried rice, & Mongolian beef. The shrimp chow mein & fried rice was average. The Mongolian beef was good. Half the Mongolian beef was VERY TENDER & well seasoned. However, the other half of the order was rather tough & harder to chew.Compared to other Chinese, sit-down restaurants, I found Jade Gardens prices 15% less than its main competition located approx 6 blocks away on Trancas Street. I liked Jade Garden because I didnt have to WORK hard to find the shrimp in the chow mein, the chicken in the fried rice. nor the beef in the Mongolian beef. Jade Garden doesnt TRY to make their orders appear larger than it really is by STUFFING it with an abundance of garnish & vegetables. Its honest about the size of their servings, which I appreciate. Despite rating it 3⭐️, I will go back & give the Mongolian beef another try.

Dropped in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The wonton soup hit the spot after long day in napa. The soup broth was really rich in flavor. We also had chicken fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, beef chowfun, string beans& beef, & honey walnut shrimp. Everything really tasted liked home cooked dishes and we cleared everything!

I had gave this restaurant the benefit of the doubt, it started when I went the first time and the dumplings I ordered were frozen in the center. I sent them back and the wait staff was very curt and while I wouldn’t say rude entirely, I could tell they were trying to rush me out the door at 8:20, when they closed at 9. I went back two more times over the course of a week, and the same problem- frozen in the center dumplings and this time the waitstaff were extremely rude to me. I see potential for this restaurant because Napa has no Dim Sum, but I want to be scathingly honest so these folks have time to improve their attitudes and food. No one deserves to bite into frozen dumplings the 3 times they go to the restaurant. As it stands, that’s my 3 strikes and I myself will not be returning.

Great place here in Napa for great Chinese food!! This has been our top go - to for 5yrs now. They now have dim sum and it feels like their other food got better since their renovation. Top favorites are the chicken wings, crab cheese puffs, salt & pepper spareribs, and mongolian beef. They are CLOSED on MONDAYS. Can do dine in & take out.

Reasonably priced, Very friendly service, Tastes lightly flavored (i.e. Not heavily flavored with salt or MSG and not too oily either)I like it. Will try again when visiting NAPA area.

Good food, great service, not quite enough heat. The hot and sour soup was tasty with just enough vinegar. The Mongolian beef could have been spicier, but the meat itself was tender and perfectly cooked. The orange chicken was done well, but not very spicy - more sweet. The pieces of chicken were large and needed to be cut up to eat. The fried rice was full of vegetable pieces and cooked nicely. Altogether, a very nice Chinese restaurant.
