What Fran likes about Jade Palace:
Nice restaurant. We came in last minute with 34 of us as tour group. For me and my wife we ordered the mixed vegetables, wanton noodle soup and fried noodle with garlic, onions and capsicum. All tasted delicious. Spend NZ70 for 3 dishes. View all feedback. What Michelle D doesn't like about Jade Palace:
Absolutely terrible food. Restaurant was dirty, water jugs were filthy. Took forever for wait staff to take our order and food took ages. People walked out waiting. Would never go there again!! View all feedback.

Went on a weekday night, was really quiet and food was decent. Hot and sour soup a little too peppery, could do with less pepper. Overall pretty good.
