Jade Wok

Food was pretty good but they are rude people. They make you feel like you’re begging them for their business. I vote with my money and I will not patronize this place again. They can do better and be more respectful to the people they are servicing.

This place was the only packed Chinese place on Central ave when walking by so thought I’d grab a take-​out menu. I keep wavering between 3 and 4 stars, but because this is Chinese food and take-​out, which typically is not the best in my eyes… I decided upon 4 stars.
The food was actually pretty good and not greasy at all. I ordered the Orange chicken which was just right and a large portion to boot. It came as a dinner special ($ 8 see picture) and included an egg roll or choice of soup instead. I ended up only eating half and hubby ate the rest.
It was unfortunate though that he did not like his meal. We had such high hopes and thought «chow mein» — how can you go wrong with that? Well, after calling to confirm it wasn’t an ordering mishap, beware. Chow mein — is not the typical fried noodles you get at most other places. Instead it is a bowl of veggies (bok choy and lettuce, onions, etc). When expecting a bowl of noodles, the last thing you want is vegetables.
We thankfully ordered crab Rangoon as an appetizer, which was plenty for the 2 of us: 1 appetizer and 1 dinner special. I would order again, just make sure to confirm your ingredients in your order prior to placing the order. Also, be quick! The customer service on the phone is quite rushed. Other than that, no complaints.

Where’s the 0 stars option when you need it. What an unprofessional staff. They need an emergency training on phone etiquette. Specially when they can’t communicate well. I was trying to place an order for my mother, I don’t eat Chinese food so I inquire about the options, however they are not even capable of even explaining their choices over the phone. I’m guessing their food is good for them to remain in business. I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t able to place an order. She did however suggest I ask my neighbors for a menu because «he orders all the time» …

Service is horrible. Ordered food through the phone and they couldn’t understand. Food was delivered and the delivery guy said if he only knew, he wouldn’t deliver at our block because of the hills. How the F do we know how you guys deliver around the area! This restaurant is located in the HEIGHTS! If you’re not going to deliver around the heights area with hills, then move out the location! MORONS! Delivery and service is crap. Order from somewhere else trust me!

I ordered food from this restaurant on a credit card. When the delivery man came, he called and said to come outside they do not walk into buildings. Fine, after that he realized he did not have receipt to sign for the credit card. When I called the restaurant back the call taker acknowledged she made a mistake and the food was paid for but still insisted on having the delivery guy bring the food back to restaurant to get receipt and come back and sign. Food is average. Service is horrible

Recently started ordering here versus a spot I used to frequent a few blocks down. Have never been happier for that change. At Jade Wok I have never been disappointed with the food their vegetable fried rice has good flavor but what I love the most is it does not have excessive oil.
I understand its chinese food but I find it rather gross when my food leaves a trail mark of grease when its not necessary. Their teriyaki chicken which comes in the for of 4 skewered pieces is always moist, it could have a bit more flavor but again its not greasy which enables me to finish it all. Also their delivery tend to take at least 25 – 35 mins which is rather good considering some other places make you wait. Ive been told by my bf that their sushi is rather decent albeit not the best but I mean can you really go wrong with a quaint place thats nearby with good prices, above average food and quick delivery? Not likely just check it out :)

It was the only chinese take out in jersey city that makes fresh sushi to go, so i came for the cali and philly rolls!

The name of this place is Jade Wok, formerly known as Jade Garden taken over by a younger family.
The ew workers are super friendly always engaging in conversation. They have renovated the place, just needed a good cleaning and actual tables. JW still kept the old booth styles on one side.
I have seen the Stanley Prime Meat from across the street to bring in fresh chicken to t Jade Wok. I am happy to see they are sourcing their meats locally. With central ave full of Latin food and Szechuan spots. Jade Wok is one of the best.
The food has an above average taste. At JW one mostly see frying, steaming and braising happening in their massive kitchen. You have your regulars here Beef and Broccoli, the half fried chicken, house special rice is great and tasty. They have the option to have the food extra spicy the way I like.
Great neighborhood Chinese joint.
