I prefer going here for fried rice and lo mein. It was still carryout only when I was there, so I can't say much on that. I will say that I've never waited for food. I placed an order, and it'll be ready before getting there.

Jade 88 is the best Chinese food around!! We love the dumplings and the Kung pow triple is awesome. We usually get fried rice and lo-mein too. It’s great that they are now available for delivery via Uber Eats!!

This tiny little restaurant has been here over 20 n years, and it is awesome! They have a great lunch buffet, and everything tastes different... not one of those places that tastes like everything uses the same sauce. They do a large take out business, but don't deliver. It's worth driving to pick it up if you don't want to eat in. The dining room is usually pretty empty, so it is quiet and relaxing to eat there. Highly recommend!!! They've never messed up an order of ours, and the staff are so sweet!!

The closest we’ve ever come to bad food or service is ... never. The food is delicious, hot, tasty, and wonderful. The service is top notch. It may because we order frequently, but the owner recognizes who we are (and even knows when we last ordered), and remembers our typical orders (we’re somewhat consistent in who gets what). I only rated the atmosphere as middling because it’s been ages since last there (most orders are to go) but I have fond memories of it & can only assume a place that makes magnificent food as an atmosphere to match.

Best food of its kind anywhere. You won't find better anywhere else on the east side of St. Paul. Owners are so friendly.

Been coming here since I arrived here in Mn, definitely a nastolgic taste that brings me to my childhood. Its been there since I was a kid and I still go there. Never had an issue with take out, never had any food missing. Best fried rice I can buy, when i don't feel like making it. I haven't had anything on the menu i didn't like and I've had a good amount of it. Service is great, even when they are busy. Definitely my to go chinese take out place.

In the past it was a sit down restaurant. Now it's only take out. Great food and fast efficient service. There isn't much of an atmosphere. Just a counter to order and pay. And the un-used tables and chairs.
