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 is described as an all you can eat buffet where tax and tip are included, offering good value and a wide variety that appeals to families. Reviews note that the quality can be uneven, with some dishes greasy or underseasoned, while standouts like certain dumplings, won ton soup, and shrimp are praised. Several comments mention oiliness and heaviness, and some deep fried items are overcooked or chewy. Cleanliness and upkeep are recurring concerns, with references to less than ideal bathrooms and decor that feels dated. Several writers point out that the selection has shrunk since the pandemic and that rotating dishes would help keep the buffet more appealing. There is also a plant based lane noted by vegans, indicating some accommodation for different diets. Overall the place is viewed as a budget friendly option with mixed impressions on food quality, balancing price and variety against freshness and polish.
service is tolerable, clean, But there is no variety in the buffet & not tasty. Overcooked & not pleasant to the assortment. & very expensive for such a restaurant. With a stretch of 3 stars.

Attiré par le prix qui est très raisonnable, le reste n'est que déception. Les choix au buffet sont limités, mais surtout la qualité de la nourriture est à peine passable. La déco est datée mais bon, on ne vient pas pour ça. Pour ce qui est des toilettes, c'est une zone de guerre, n'y allez juste pas. Je mets 2 étoiles parce que le personnel est gentil & serviable & que la cuisine avait l'air plutôt propre. Première & dernière visite.
You walk in & there's a few food options. Not very wow, the ambiance feels like they're mourning or something. Very muted. Not much service to speak of since it's a buffet. All in all, not the worst but definitely not recommend
Un 3 étoiles disons généreux.... Le Prix!? raisonnable! , lors de notre passage l'endroit était correct , table propre & un service convenable ( assiette ramasser rapidement & nous avions de l'eau ) le buffet est " OK " sans plus ... Pour le prix ... Je n'avais pas de grandes attentes, mais les images partagées à la porte sont belles & finalement après avoir payé ( avant d'y entrer) le buffet semble triste comparer aux images a l'entrée , plutôt froid, pas un énorme choix ... Mais pas "mauvais" pour la majorité des aliments que j'ai goûté! Disont que ... Je l'ai essayé, mais je n'y retournerai pas
Bon service, mais il n'y avais pas de variété pour les plats de plus la viande de mon egg roll n'étais pas assez cuite je ne conseille pas ce buffet du moins pour l'instant
Ambiance de feu, énergie incroyable beaucoup d effort du personnel Qualité médiocre mais mangeable Cela reste un restaurant buffet alors on en s'attend pas à un étoilé évidement mais cela fait le travail La dame qui faisait les soupes & les plats de riz a été très agressive je suis encore consternée par cette mauvaise attitude & ce ton sec & totalement injustifié une horreur Pas de fruits seulement une salade de fruit en conserve Sinon assez de choix pour combler mes papilles
$25/adult-including tax & tips- for all inclusive buffet of Chinese food. Good: hungry but do not care of quality. Had lots of fair sized shrimps, broccoli & some veggies dishes were great! Coffee & tea included, many choices of meats. Negatives: quality is fair, too many fried options, juices were just sugar & coloured waters (not real juice at all!), only a couple of desserts options. Sushi's were poorly made & mostly made of rice. Definitely a forgettable eating experience! (My wife says we should NOT forget!)
Samedi soir 20hrs, le buffet est médiocre quasiment tout est froid, les plats ne sont pas renouvelé fréquemment. La présentation n'est vraiment pas belle, la déco les tables & toilettes sont degeux... Pas appétissant du tout. Sur environs 25 plats différents, seulement que 3 ou 4 On retenue notre appréciation. Pour $25 par personnes çest très décevant !!!
It's the second time we go there. First time we were disappointed because all the food was dry, like if they stayed on the re-heat plates too long. There's was no dessert option having like only 1 choice. We've decided to give it another chance, but it was worst the second time around: no choice at all in the buffet except some very very dry fries & pizza slices. For 25$ per person it was a rip off. The liquor tasted like dishwasher water. The freshness of the shrimp was very questionnable & the vanilla cake tasted like rubber. Sadly we won't be returning. Hopefully they can turn the situation around cauz it's a good spot.
The food wasn't that bad but there's a lot that needs to happen before I go back or recommend it to anyone. They display a really good price but you'll find out later why. For two people it's $50 all together, you pay before you eat so you don't see whats inside (including a tip charge before service). We go in & are seated, there's a funky smell in the air but I ignored it thinking it was someone. I get a plate & go around but very few have labels, you sort of guess what you're eating. My boyfriend grabbed noodles & after taking a few bites noticed there were 2 pieces of shrimp (he's allergic, plus he thoroughly checks before choosing). After looking around you'll notice mold everywhere & the staff have a carefree attitude. There were 3 servers & they all were on their phone at some point looking at instagram or something. Not once did they come to our table to see how we were or offer anything. & if you order pop you have to pay extra on the spot. If you want a good buffet I 100% recommend the buffet in the casino, they're food is amazing & the service is top tier.

As far as buffets go it's a great place. Could be a bit better, but overall great bang for your buck. 25 over 10, & 11 for under 10. We were charged 5 for a 2 year old in our group & free for an infant. Food is tasty, & what you would expect from a buffet.
Anticipant cette grande occasion depuis plus d'un mois, je me posais la question suivante: Qu'est-ce que qui fait d'un buffet ordinaire, un buffet EXTRAordinaire? Jade y répond sans équivoque. Le soucis du détail dans les délicieux mets préparés ainsi que la variété m'ont laissé sans mot. Que ce soit des rondelles d'oignons en passant par les cuisses de grenouille, mais sans oublier les spare ribs, mais attentes furent dépassés à tout coup. Dés le premier sushi, je me suis sincèrement demandé pourquoi un client irait autre part que dans cet institution qui semble garder des standards avec intransigeance. Real talk c'était un peu nasty
It's a great Chinese Buffet. The food was fresh & kept coming out & you could stay & eat a lot. Absolutely worth the price. Would definitely go back! I'm only not giving 5 star because I reserve that for stellar stellar restaurants & food but this is super close. I would go back right now if I could. 😊 10/10 will go back.
