Located in the heart of Montreal's busy Chinatown district, the Restaurant Jardin de Jade Poon Kai offers Chinese delights including Cantonese, Szechuan and Dim-Sum specialties. Jardin De Jade Poon Kai is known for its wide array of buffet items like egg rolls, sweet and sour spare ribs, General Tao chicken and other dishes. Jardin De Jade Poon Kai is good for kids and groups as well as a romantic dinner.
Restaurant Jade receives mixed feedback, with some diners praising the attentive service and the value of an all-you-can-eat buffet that includes tax and drinks, while others lament uneven food quality, greasy or dry items, and a shrinking variety compared to before the pandemic. Standout dishes like pork ribs, shrimp, dumplings, and spring rolls appear in many reviews, but concerns about oiliness, overcooked fried items, and inconsistent temperatures persist. The decor is described as dated and cleanliness and bathrooms are cited as problems by some, though others find the casual, family-friendly vibe and affordable price acceptable. Taken together, the reviews suggest Restaurant Jade is a budget-friendly option that delivers generous portions and variety for the price, but with noticeable inconsistencies in quality and upkeep.
Been coming here as a kd. It has started to pick up again!! The food has improved significantly & well I'd always support them regardless - as this place holds a special place in my heart. The owners are kind people. The waiters & reception (usually one of the owners) are always so kind to our children & our kids know them since they were babies so they've seen me & now my kids growing up. Can't beat a no frills buffet!
We walked into this buffet thinking how great it would be & instead we were greated with a receptionist that ignored us for a full minute watching Chinese drama. We walked in just to see that all the food was dry & unappealing. The taste - even worse then expected. Hands down the worse experience/atmosphere/Chinese food we've tried. 0/5
Lo mas asqueroso que he probado, la co ida kucia horrible y de sabor ni hablemos... los $50 dolates peores gastados.
The most disgusting thing I have ever tasted, the horrible & tasteful food, let alone...
the $50 worst spent.
La chose la plus dégoûtante que j'ai jamais goûtée, la nourriture horrible & de bon goût, sans parler des 50 $ les moins dépensés.
Non, la nourriture n'est pas terrible, il semble qu'ils utilisent des ingrédients périmés, peut-être que pour eux, elle n'a pas mauvais goût parce qu'ils mangent des animaux mais la nourriture a un goût horrible.
Before the pandemic, this place was very good. I really enjoyed going to the Jade Buffet. I still go there once in a while. Not all the dishes are good, but some of them are still OK.
the place is really meh. but like the place was lowk funny cus like everyone thought it was gonna be good & like the place make u laugh of how bad it is.
btw right in front the store theres this pokemon hat & it looked so cool wanted to bought it lowk. anyways trash place.
Pour le prix, on ne peut pas se plaindre. Certes, la nourriture n'est pas exceptionnelle, mais ça reste un buffet. L'endroit est calme, ce qui permet de discuter facilement. Je recommande.
Dirty place, bathrooms are disgusting, food is terrible…. Cheap but very dirty.. dishes, tables everything is disguting i don't know how the Gouv has not closed this place down! We didn't eat much….
Nous y sommes allés après avoir perdus 40 minutes au restaurant d'en face sans se faire servir. Nos attentes étaient très basses: avoir de la nourriture chaude rapidement. Les spare ribs, c'est 95% des os, les nouilles sont tièdes, fades & les crevettes ne sont pas assez cuites, le poulet général Tao doit être assemblé soi-même & la sauce est gluante & mauvaise, etc. La soupe hot& sour est gluante & sans goût, etc. Même pour dépanner, ça ne vaut pas 25$/personnes...
Décevant. Pas beaucoup de variété de nourriture. Le poulet général tao ( je pense qur c'est lui ) était trop sucré. Le service pas bon du tout . Personne n'est venue pour nos plat & personne n'est venue nous reservir de l'eau jusqu'à la fin de notre soirée. ( Personne passé par nos tables ) .

The service was good, the waiter came over serval times to refill drinks but food wise it looked like it had been sitting around for a long time, was dry, & had few options to choose from-too many fried items.
La majorité des plats sont préparés avec du porc, les crevettes n'étaient pas nettoyées & il fautles décortiquées à la main, ce qui a entraîné des désagréments. Même les ailes de poulet n'étaient pas le TOP. Bien que le prix soit abordable, la qualité médiocre de la nourriture rend l'expérience insatisfaisante.
Pour un montant de 25 $ taxes incluses, j'ai consommé afin de rentabiliser mon investissement, puis j'ai rapidement quitté les lieux en raison de l'ambiance désagréable, de l'absence de musique & de la clientèle peu recommandable.
