Jade Dynasty

Some of the most terrible Chinese food I have ever eaten

I've eaten at Jade Dynasty for over 20 years. I understand there have been some management and staff changes along the way and apparently has fallen off precipitously in quality following these changes. Some bad ratings are those whove eaten at an establishment once or twice - I mustve eaten at Jade Dynasty close to 100 times over the years. Their Hunan style dishes were delicious and rich, the champagne chicken was so savory and unique to the area - their bean curd was flavorful and delicately cooked -- almost all sauces had deep flavors and little starch with good quality vegetables............
Well that is the past - none of these dishes if any exhibit any semblance to their former quality. Sauces are noticeably weak and oily-their specialty champagne sauce now tastes like syrup and the vegetables are sparse - the bean curd is downright disgusting - the sauce being similar to jello with hardly any flavor and tons of salt and starch-the meats overall are lower in quality and taste fatty. the soups which were once rich and fresh no seem like powder based broths with lots of salt and starch.
Ive never been more disappointed with the outcome of a restaurant - this was once my favorite place - now it is no better than any other discount take out place, if not worse -- shame on the man who has tarnished a good name with his indifference - will not be going back unless major changes are made.

Great service, friendly people and AWESOME sesame chicken

This is our new go to Chinese restaurant! First, the service could not be friendlier. If you dine in or take out, you always feel welcome. In terms of food, everything I have tried so far has been fresh and delicious. The fried dumplings are crisp and soft - done just right! Their tofu dishes are wonderful - and many come steamed and not fried. They do the classics well - general tso's, sesame chicken, lo mein, fried rice - and offer a variety of veggie options.

Excellant food. Been coming here since they opened. Live in NH now and hard to find good chinese food. Visit every time I'm in Edison.
