The portion size was just right. The food was perfectly cooked and fresh. Surprisingly, it was not crowded for a Friday at noon. The prices were fair and the service was excellent. I had no complaints about Jade East.

This restaurant is the cleanest, with the friendliest staff and the most delicious food! We will definitely be returning. read more This restaurant is the cleanest, with the friendliest staff and the most delicious food! We will definitely be returning.

We frequented both locations (there used to be one close to campus) on a weekly basis. It was our favorite place to eat in Springfield and what inspired us to find restaurants in St Louis that offer Springfield cashew chicken. We were back in town for the first time in almost 20 yrs and decided to give it a try despite the Google reviews. BIG mistake! Trust the bad reviews. Without writing a novel about everything that was bad I 'll just say it was the worst overall dining experience we 've ever had. We were actually worried the whole trip home that we were going to have food poisoning. It is mind blowing to me that this place is still in business.

However, I hadn't visited in over a year, and while the price increase is understandable due to inflation, it’s unacceptable when the quality of the food has also declined. Overall, my dinner was disappointing, and I won't be returning.

My soup has almost nothing in it, our lo mein was made with spaghetti noodles, both our pork fried rice and beef lo mein has just a few pieces of meat and hardly no veg, my egg roll was burnt, and the crab Rangoon was dessert sweet. I almost called to try and get my money back because I had to recook the rice just so it had some flavor. I did not bother just won't go back. Springfield has plenty of other choices
