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.
Pics on website look better than the real thing. Food was average. Nothing to boast about. Desserts were cheap only two choices. Sushi was dry & again only one choice. As for the service, that was non existent. I got up for tea & came back to a new set up on the table. Ready for the next walk-in.
For a Saturday at 12:30. I wasn't impressed.

Only place that sell old school butter bun that orginated & only popular in Montréal. Steamed bbq pork bun are large but has smaller filling & only basic flavour. Great for a quick snack on run
The relationship quality-price is very fair. I've spent more money in a lot of restaurants with "better reviews" but with poor quality or taste.
In this place you got plenty of options to try, anything I tasted was delicious. A couple of plates don't use the very best quality products but the taste stills good.
The attention is pretty warm, they're very, very patient people.
C'est terrible compte établissement. Ils vous font payer avant de manger. Les taxes & services sont facturés à l'avance. Donc si vous avez un mauvais service (c'était mon cas), & bien tant pis! Côté nourriture, il ne faut rien s'attendre qu'à part des mets sèches dans les réchauds. De la soupe fade & insipide. Les boissons sont facturées à la commande, donc si vous commandez trois fois, il faut payer trois fois! Il n'y a pas un seul client chinois, ça en dit long! Le pire des restaurants chinois!
Do yourself a favour & walk on. There is a reason why they make you pay first when you walk in. Where should I start..... no water, no plate service, no utensils all self serve. Most food bins empty & took a while to refill. Hot & sour soup was cold & very vinegary. Most meats were undercooked & didn't taste very fresh & so were the egg rolls & spring rolls. You can definitely do better in Chinatown.

What can I say that has not been said already.
I'm not a big fan of tipping upfront before the service, ( tipping reflects the service portion of the dinning experience).
Needless to say I did not feel the experience warranted the 15% tip.
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.
I will never recommend this restaurant to any body especially non-Asian. We are there today & was very excited to be with friends of 11 people.
First we waited almost an hour & the host is very rude. I was about to leave after 45 minutes but my friend is treating us that is why I stayed. Finally we are seated but we end up separated after that long wait.
We take our food & the first thing I put in my mouth is the seaweed & to my surprise it was already rotten & I almost throw up. Secondly the steamed pork is very hard & seems not cooked. I think it was left over from another day because I know how it taste if it is fresh since I cook this at home myself.
Then comes the dessert in my surprise again the sesame balls have a very long hair. This is a very disgusting place to eat & the price is not worth-ed.
I extremely let people know this is not the place to eat since the hygiene is very poor.
The service was bad. The food was below average to terrible. The charges were ridiculous. A compulsory surcharge of 10% was applied to our group because we had 12 people at our table. We would give them 0 stars out of five.
Au souper, déçu du choix de nourriture, nous sommes allés plusieurs fois à ce restaurant du quartier chinois & nous étions satisfais, hier soir (Dimanche) ce n'étais plus pareille, nourriture moins bonne & moins chaude. Le service pourri, cela prenait beaucoup de temps avant que les assiettes soient retirées de la table.. très long avant de recevoir la facture & le serveur nous a mentionné que la facture devait se payer à la caisse & de ne pas oublier de laisser le pourboire sur la table.. nous avons été déçu du comportement de ce serveur & nous n'avons pas laisser de pourboire. Vraiment très décevant.
This place's price changes by time.
Cheapest time is between 14h00 to 16h30 for $9.25.
Their food is always same at anytime.
& food is not really good.
Most of them are dried by sitting there long time.
Especially sushi & meat dishes are too dried...
The service is awful.
They don't clear the table quickly & mention you tipping when you leave.
I would not go back there again.
