Are you KIDDING ME? If I see another review saying that f'$&@ing RAINBOW is the best Chinese restaurant I'm going to hurl. Jade Fountain is the best. It is BY FAR the best. It's an unassuming little storefront in Wayzata and I almost don't want to write about it because I don't want to have to wait for the unwashed masses when I want to go eat there but it is head and shoulders above ANY other Chinese place in the Twin Cities area. Best Bets: Tangerine Beef (HOLY MOTHER OF GOD is this delicious). Garlic Chicken (Spicy - This is NOT your average garlic chicken). Special Spiced Pork (Tender, delicious). Tiger Pork (Nothing like it in Minneapolis). Enjoy.

We thought the food was great. The service was fast and the location is great too. The Kung pao chicken was the best. Everything was fresh and quite tasty. We are picky about how food smells and were very happy that all the food had no 'eggy' smell. We will definitely go back!

I think this is the best Chinese take-out in the Twin Cities. I actually live in California now and really miss Jade Fountain. My favorites are the vegetarian egg rolls, sesame tofu and vegetable lo mein (I'm a vegetarian). My wife loves the lemon chicken and wonton soup.

loved their hot and sour soup and fried noodle. I go back there several times only for those ! also people there are very friendly and attentive. I really want to go back for dinner and ask for various specific items now. Xie xie !

I have eaten here several times with my grandmother, and honestly haven't been that impressed. The food is OK, but it certainly isn't as good as the other reviewers on here have made it out to be. The thing I do like about this place is that you get a lot of food for your money. I also like that hot tea is served with your meal... it's a nice touch. I have tried the sesame chicken and the broccoli chicken here. Both were OK, but I have definitely had better at other places. This place will do if you're looking for fast and inexpensive Chinese food. If you're looking for great Chinese food, though, I would recommend going somewhere else.

BEST SCHEZUAN BEEF IN THE TWIN CITIES, BAR NONE. Quality has stayed top notch since the 80s. Rest of the menu is tasty as well, except for the curry chicken....not a good version of thai.

A bit expensive, and they forgot to put sauce on the side of a dish, despite request written down. Nice dining room. Fast takeout service

Jade Fountain is fast, and a really convenient trip. The potstickers here rock as do their sesame chicken and lo-mein options. Though I don't eat pork anymore, their Tiger Pork is incredible and I have never seen anything like it at any other Chinese food restaurant. If you eat in, the interior is traditional Chinese but still, pretty. If you're in the area, make this your Chinese food place!

I have been to Jade Garden three or four times since I moved to the Plymouth area in 2010. I have never been disappointed. I ate again there last night with my two daughters and it was fantastic. Their beef and broccoli is second to none. I recommend it.

First off, let me say that this was THE BEST sesame tofu I have ever had, so I hate that I must only give this place 4 stars. Why? Well, because at the bottom of the box of tofu, I found a good portion of remnants from another dish that was nowhere near either of my orders. Like, did they not think I'd get to the bottom of the box? That was really unfortunate, but I'll still be coming back just for the tofu dish and hoping that's all that will be included.

Best Chinese in the Twin Cities, hands down. The owners know our family by name and order. The food is phenomenal every time and we always get something different whenever we go. Personal favorite is the tangerine beef with an order of egg rolls. Their duck is also very good.

I can only review it on one item... Let me back up and tell you that I have eaten here no less than 50 time and I only get the Cashew Shrimp. It is the best! No one does better take out than Jade Fountain!

I'm not the biggest foodie, but I've been around the block and I gotta say this is by far my favorite restaurant. Awesome staff and a large, delicious menu. Tiger Pork is my favorite but EVERYTHING is great

ah, jade fountain. you were my first real chinese restaurant. well, leann chin was my first, but i don't think that it really qualifies as chinese. do you? your sesame chicken never disappoints and i love the chopped lettuce and rice puffy things that you stuff at the bottom of a take out container. i just might have to vote you the best cream cheese puffs around. damn they're yummy. the atmosphere is family friendly, but i have to admit that I mostly do takeout. speaking of, i just might bump you up to a fifth star if you started delivering, but as i'm no longer living out west, i guess it doesn't matter too much. but, hey, if you did, i probably would visit my parents more.

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.
