Restaurant Jade Chinatown est
un restaurant @ Buffet @ Volonte. Il est situe dans le Quartier Chinois de Montreal (proche du Metro Place d'Armes ligne orange STM). Si vous cherchez un resto @ 21,95$ avant les taxes & les pourboires, c'est bien un resto @ buffet que vous n'aviez pas @ penser car il n'existe pas ailleurs @ Montreal @ ce prix pour un buffet @ volonte. Le service est rapide & les plats au buffet sont changes rapidement. Il existe aussi un comptoir de soupes aux nouilles preparees devant vous sur demande. A part le resto Buffet, il y a un comptoir pour les plats @ emporter. Cette section du resto se trouve au milieu du resto avec une entree separee. Il vend toutes sortes de pains, desserts, sucreries traditionnelles, etc. Merci pour le bel accueil & service. Au plaisir, Missy A.
Ceux qui critique ont probablement jamais voyager & ont des standards ultra élever ! Pour mon opinions la plus honnête , quand je vais dans un buffet en 2025 à 25$ taxe,pourboire inclus je m'attend à un buffet à 25$ ! Côté nourriture , y'a asser de plat & de choix au moins 30-35 plats! Pas tous super goûteux , la qualité est asser basse mais ça fait en masse la job pour se remplire! Y'a quand même des plats délicieux , ça fait peu être 6 fois que j'y vais en 10 ans & je sait à quoi m'attendre à chaque fois que j'y entre ! Ce n'est pas du luxe mais ce n'est pas non plus le pire restaurant jamais vue comme plusieurs le disent ! Si tu veux aller au buffet des continents à 50$/personne va s'y , la pour 25$ ça fait la job ! Pour ce qui est de la propreté du restaurant , je ne suis pas tetteux mais effectivement il faut savoir fermer les yeux un peu ! Jsuis toujours en vie , je suis sortie plein & je suis pas pauvre alors je suis comblée ! Seul détails , au fil des années , beaucoup de plats ont disparut (moule,plusieurs dessert ,cuisse de grenouilles ) probablement a cause de l'inflation ! Si tu n'est pas difficile tu va apprécier , si t'es standards sont les standards d'un étudiant en médecine qui vie sur le plateau y'a des chance que tu écrive un review 1* par suite !

As of 2025, you pay $25 which is about 30-40% lower than comparable alternatives. It follows accordingly that the food quality is mediocre - the deep fried options are overcooked to death, some of the meat dishes are extremely tough & chewy, & there are very few cold/dessert options or drinks available. On the other hand, some of the steamed & stir-fried dishes were surprisingly good.
The main targets in the'buffet meta' are the deep-fried shrimp & the ribs, but the price is cheap enough that you can enjoy a decent variety of food without feeling the need to minmax.
Well first you get what you pay. Buffet for 25$cad tax included... What do you expect?
For a non vegetarian there are some options but few. The veggie roll... I think the batter needs lots of love, same for the tofu.
I guess if you are up for fast service, quantity over quality & love fried meats , noodles (different types) & rice (fried or steamed with vegetables & egg) this is very ok. You even have dessert & coffee. & toilets are ok too.
So there's a place for it when you're on a budget.
Went in on a Saturday afternoon, & the tables were full. Despite what others said, the food during this time were frequently emptied out & replaced (probably because the place was busy). The fried section was our favorite. Chicken with spices & pork ribs were good, & the shrimp was very juicy. Yang chow fried rice was also good. Vegetables - I loved the green beans (had two servings) & the eggplant. Siu mai was a bit too salty. They had juice (colored water with sugar like others said), but it's part of the package so I'm not complaining. For dessert - they had a really good pear pastry, & fruit salad among others. From what I experienced, it was pretty good for $25. Our family was happy.
