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.
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 only reason I put 2 stars is the food, the woman who took our order was aggressive & made us feel that we shouldn't eat here! She took our order sometimes we point at items in display she doesn't even look or say give me a second then we paid we're still waiting for the receipt & the items started coming out, they just scream the name or number of the item so when we claimed she screamed that we just ordered but the items were ours then she aggressively handed them down while complaining ! The shrimp rice rolls look nothing like the picture & taste nothing like those I tasted before (I'm a dim sum nerd) the roll was too tall & chunky & there were only 2 small pieces of shrimp at each extremity. The dough/rice roll tasted weird so we had to dug out only the shrimp pieces!
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.
Vraiment je n'ai pas aimé ils vous obliger de payé à l'avance est vraiment cher & quand tu entre il n y a pas de choix pour manger le manger est pas beau cest horrible je suis vraiment déçu.

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.
Bonjour, Je ne comprends pas tous ces avis négatifs... Tout était bon, bien chaud, en quantité suffisante. Je n'ai pas goûté à tout mais ce que j'ai pris m'a entièrement satisfait. Service souriant & agréable. Pas besoin de courir pour avoir de l'eau. Toilettes très propres. J'y retournerai volontiers. Prix très très correct même s'il a augmenté avec les années.
La comida vieja, comida de mal sabor y mala calidad , hace algunos anos había venido y era mejor . pero ahora no vale la pena , cuesta $25 por persona y por ese valor y la variedad de comida no los vale. No lo recomiendo

La bouffe était moyenne, c'était chaud, mais on dirait du dormir pas fraîche dutour . Beaucoup d'huile dans la nourriture, par contre leur crevette saute était très bonne juste comme il faut. Les desserts une catastrophe. Pas de bon dessert.
