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.
Can't really complain for the price of the buffet, obviously the food is not fantastic. Overpriced drinks though some how a beer is like 6 or 7 dollars on the menu but comes out to $10 after taxes & "service fees". Whadafuq are service fees?

Famille de 4. 2 adultes & 2 ados. On avait lu les reviews on était hésitants. On a décidé d'y aller pareil. Sérieux, pour le prix, c'est ben correct! 25$ taxes incluses, pas de tip, tu manges tout ce que tu veux & tu sors. La bouffe était bonne, chaude, & variée. Ditez-vous que c'est 10x mieux qu'un buffet de cuba, mais évidemment la moitié moins bon qu'un buffet à 50$... mais tant mieux, parce qu'on a justement payé la moitié! Propreté comparable à tous les restos du coins de chinatown. N'ayez pas des hautes attentes & vous serez pas déçus. Voila!
Les années passent, mais le buffet Jade, lui, ne change pas. Ah oui! Un élément a changé : on nous demande maintenant de payer à l'entrée avant même d'avoir accès au restaurant! Endroit mal entretenu (surtout les toilettes, un véritable cauchemar). Aliments sans goût & généralement de basse qualité. De moins en moins d'options bouffe sur le plancher. Je n'ai pas détesté un certain type de nouilles ainsi que le poulet frit. C'est à peu près tout. Il y a de bien meilleurs restos chinois dans le coin. Donnez-vous la peine d'en essayer quelques-uns avant de vous arrêter ici. Non vraiment, plus jamais pour moi.

Just a kind of Chinese buffet. But missing important things. Service not that friendly , I went at noon & payed 21 dollars in advanced before check the meal. Not too much options. I mean food was fine, but in a China town, there are many places worth visiting than this.
This is the worst Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world. The restaurant was dirty, smelling & abysmally unhygienic. The food was horrible, stale & tasteless. The bathroom was worst then you can imagine. My family & I arrived from Toronto to spend the weekend in Montreal (the weekend of December 29, 2023). We wanted a buffet & then opted for a Chinese restaurant. We searched for a Chinese restaurant online & made the morbid choice of choosing Jade (based on their false rating. The experience is horrible all through. The whole place was unhygienic. When we demanded for a hot-towel, the attendant rudely showed us the toilet. The toilets - ware the worst toilets you can see or imagine anywhere. I am actually surprised that the City of Montreal allows this restaurant to be operational. It is criminal to allow them to exist. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the variety of food on display. They are inedible. My kids had food poisoning immediately after eating from there. The fruits were stale & not anywhere fresh, the ice cream & what they called juice were just poison to say the list. I will advise you not to even venture in there. They are a fraud!
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ASIAN BUFFET IN CANADA!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! This restaurant takes your money at the door for the buffet before you sit down. The furnishings / atmosphere is bland & boring. The food is a disaster! We tasted many different dishes in order to give the restaurant a chance to shine. Sadly, all the food was overcooked, tasteless, greasy, soggy or dried out. The only good item we tasted was the pickled ginger... & it comes out of a jar. They don't care if you don't like the food. They have your money so you can rant all you want afterwards. Neither of us felt well afterwards & we both have fairly cast iron stomachs. Please do yourself a favour & avoid this restaurant. There are better choices nearby.

Serveuse qui semble ne pas avoir envie d'être présente. Pour un buffet a volonté chinois très peut de choses sont proposé. Un peut dessus de l'ensemble mais le pris reste raisonnable heureusement.
Il ne faut pas s'attendre a de la grande gastronomie avec un buffet a volonté pour 15$. Vrai aussi que l'hôtesse aurait besoin d'un cours en service a la clientèle. Mais en gros, ça a fait la job.
Nous faisons à chaque année une sortie PèreFille au quartier chinois & j'y suis allé avec ma fille pour cette occasion.
Ce n'était pas ma première visite au Jardin de Jade & je savais à quoi m'attendre. On y va principalement pour le choix & le prix. Ma fille adore les buffets, principalement pour la portion dessert; J'imagine que les mots "dessert à volonté" doivent être une douce mélodie quand tu n'as que 6 ans.
La nourriture est comparable à d'autres buffets; s'est honnête quand on ne s'attend pas à de la haute gastronomie. Pour le prix, il faudrait être naïf de s'attendre à plus.

Nourriture répugnante, pas bien cuite. Le poulet à l'orange a l'air d'être fait par un enfant de première année! La serveuse est trop distante & antipathique. La crème glacée au pistaches a une étrange couleur bleue. Seul le cheesecake semblait être sain.
Côté hygiène : 0! Les tables sont très sales! Les toilettes : dégueulasse! N'allez pas gaspiller votre 10$ dans ce buffet!
