Jade Garden

We had a family dinner at this restaurant the other night.  It's pretty standard American Chinese food, but well-executed for the most part.  The beef and chicken dishes were tender and had flavor as expected.  Service was well above average, the waitress was very attentive and refilled our drinks several times.

The high point for me was shrimp toast.  Done well this is an excellent starter and takes advantage of the region's fresh shrimp.  This wasn't the best I have had but it was close enough.  The other appetizers were just OK.  The spring rolls were somewhat greasy.  They have something called a curly wonton, which is actually not curly at all--it's quite flat.  It's filled with some kind of ground beef that got a mixed reception.  The crabmeat rangoons were just as expected.  The tofu was kind of disappointing, rather chewy with an unpleasant texture.

If you are looking for a Chinese fix, you could do way worse than this.  The interior is pretty standard and inoffensive, but has decoration to rest the eyes on.  The bathroom was clean and ready to go on my visit.  I gave it a 3.6 and rounded up.
