Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Been going here for years, love the value at lunch time. They have remodeled and it is a much more pleasant place to eat, if in the past this has kept you away, you should give it another try. I switch from the sweet and sour chicken, witch comes with an egg roll and a choice of soups, i would recommend the egg drop soup. Hot singapore chow mei is the other meal I enjoy and it comes with a choice of soup. You also have a choice of fried or steamed rice. This is at lunch time at a special price till around 3 I believe. Best place in valpo.

There are only a handful of Chinese restaurants surrounding the Valpo area and among my favorite is Jade Garden II. It's as good as it gets in Northwest Indiana. The restaurant is owned and run by Cantonese people. It was always pleasant to converse with them and have them make customized, authentic Cantonese dishes for my friends and me. I especially enjoyed their eggplant with shredded pork, salt and pepper shrimp, and shrimp with peapod. The portions are so large that three dishes for three people were more than enough. The sauces were very thick and flavored, and not hazed like some other nearby restaurants. The shrimp used are also jumbo as opposed to the miniature ones that some would try to cheat of its customers. Jade Garden II is located on Calumet Ave past Town & Country. So if you're ever in the area buying groceries, you should stop by Jade Garden II for some savoring Chinese food. They have a parking lot and it's a very quiet, family-style restaurant.

Jade Garden sits alongside a couple of storefronts in a strip mall off of Calumet Ave. It's appearance alone is questionable. Alas, first time coming here we stuck to the hard to eff up: Crab Rangoon, Garden Fried Rice, and Mongolian Beef. The Crab Rangoon was decent at best. Way too much crisp to cheese ratio. Secondly, the fried rice had a distinctive rubbing alcohol scent. It was hard to get over after and we nearly threw away the entire portion. And the pieces of beef that were in it looked so dry and old I took pictures to remind me of my future date with the toilet. The Mongolian Beef was good. Yay... I'm not sure if Chicago has spoiled me with delicious Chinese food, but IMHO this place is lacking big time. I feel bad for the people of Valpo who thinks this place deserves anything more than two stars.

They have good delivery.egg rolls are good but i ordered the crab rangoons and they were way understuffed. one of them almost didn't have any filling.all in all though id order from there again.

I really like their fried rice- especially since they allow you to add bean curd (tofu) upon request. Cheap and fast.

Valparaiso just doesn't have any edible Chinese food! After reading the reviews and talking with some locals I figured I had to try the Jade Garden. WHAT A LET DOWN!!!! We ordered Kung-Pow Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Orange Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, Fried Rice and Egg Rolls. ALL entrees were soggy and had a light hint of rotten gym sock. The egg roll was edible and the steamed rice was good, but honestly, how could you mess up rice? I love good Chinese food and I hate this place... Don't waste your time or hard earned cash.

This place was recommended to me from a friend. So the hubs and I took a chance. We ordered a large sesame chicken (big enough for 2 people on its own) and a large general tso's chicken (big enough for 2 people on its own) and we got a big container of fried rice with it and we got 2 egg-rolls. The sesame chicken was good. Pretty much tasted like any other Chinese place the general tso's was slightly spicy which was good and it came with broccoli that was steamed and Ya pretty good. The fried rice is just that. I liked it because it had a nice flavor. It wasn't doused in sauce. I was kind of disappointed that there was no onion, peas, or carrots in it, which I'm used to. The eggrolls had no description on the menu.. Which is a problem because I am terribly allergic to shellfish. I had my husband call to find out what's in the egg rolls and welp they have shrimp... I wish I would've known because I wouldn't of ordered them knowing they have shrimp., also they should have that on the menu especially since I could've had a bad reaction (my throat closes up and I need to use an epi pen). Other than that it was good food. I'd go there again. Also we had leftovers so that's great. The price wasn't bad either! People there were friendly.

They are the best Chinese restaurant in town, in my opinion. Their crab rangoons are to die for! They have great fried rice as well as all of the other standards. Their egg rolls always taste fresh, and they are very quick when ordering take out. The portions are huge and the food is reasonably priced. I love their lunch deals.

Best Chinese in the area. WONDERFUL egg rolls and the soup. Oh, the chicken rice soup rocks my world.

Fairly decent Chinese food, probably the best in Valpo, if you stay away from the standard American-Chinese restaurant dishes. I recommend the Singapore rice noodles. (See edit below.) It is called "hot Singapore chao mai" on the menu, but it isn't very spicy. It is tasty, not at all oily, and a healthy meal all by iteslf. Another reliably good choice is the Mapo Tofu. They also make some decent yuxiang dishes. If you ask they will make a vegetarian yuxiang tofu. See below for note about san bei ji. Have not tried to ask for Cantonese dishes, as another reviewer suggested. But I do know that at least some of the staff, who all come in every day from Chicago Chinatown, speak Cantonese. Edit (summer 2015): -- My apologies to the person who was dissatisfied by the Singapore rice noodles. It is indeed mostly vermicelli rice noodles. Very small chunks of pork, egg, etc., plus vegetables are mixed into the noodles. Those tiny shrimp that the other reviewer didn't like are quite common in this dish. There is hardly any sauce, it is seasoned with dry curry spice and some frying oil. The preparation of Singapore rice noodles at this restaurant is fairly typical. If you have never seen it before, now you have a better description. -- I came back recently and discovered there is a Chinese language menu! Which I can read only a little of, but I regard the menu as a decidedly good sign. I recognize a lot of Cantonese dishes that are the same as the English menu, e.g. beef with broccoli / beef with string beans, chow fun. I also see a few dishes which I think are not on the regular English menu: Xiamen fried rice noodles, eggplant in brown sauce, roast duck, san bei ji (3 cup chicken). If you are a food adventurer with a bit of flexibility and have never tried san bei ji before, this would be an opportunity. It is chicken chunks thoroughly marinated in spicy sauce. The spice level cannot be adjusted on request. And most importantly the chicken chunks are NOT deboned. The chunks contain so much bone and cartilage that it was very nearly inedible to an inexperienced person like me, the first time I tried it was my last. But Chinese people seem quite fond of this Taiwan-style dish, so if you are adventuresome I recommend trying it.

Just not good. Really not good. Thought we'd test this out since the reviews are so mixed, and wish we hadn't. I mean, now we know never to come back. But other than that, disappointed and we had pretty low expectations to begin with. Glad we shared an entree, otherwise I'd be even more upset. We got the hot Singapore chao mai (at the recommendation of another reviewer), and it was mainly just oily noodles. I'm pretty sure there were vegetables in the description, but other than a handful of green peppers, there were none to be found. Tiniest shrimp I've ever seen--like half an inch, no joke! Pork was just tiny bits that you find in fried rice. Seemed more like a side of fried noodles than a main dish (and this was listed under the "Chef's Specials" portion of the menu). Wontons were good, egg rolls were small but ok (pretty greasy inside), chicken rice soup was weird (I've never seen white soup before?) but tasted ok. Like I said, we had low expectations. We were just looking for a decent chinese place. This was well below decent. The first time we've ever not wanted to take leftovers home. We love leftovers. Rated two stars instead of one because the server was polite and the restaurant itself was not the dumpiest I've been in.
