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.

I'm a fan of hole-in-the-wall places and this is just another on my list. In my opinion it's the best Chinese in the Elkhart/Goshen area. I always order General Tso's and Fried Rice. Both always come out hot (hot enough that its still hot after the 11-13 minute drive home). The General Tso's is not over breaded (thank God) and has a lot of chicken along with the onions and peppers. The fried rice as well, great full flavor. The last time I went, it was a little on the oily side, but that was the first time I've had that problem. So, I'm not that worried about it. I'm always impressed with how quickly they cook and get the food out to you. Only other thing I'd say is that I don't find it much of a dining atmosphere with a tiny dinning room, patio style plastic tables and chairs. However, I always get mine to go. So, I don't worry about it too much.

Love this place. Especially for take out. The employees are friendly and helpful. The food is better than average and process are more than reasonable. If you order fried rice beware that they give you so much that it kind of pops out of the box!!!!

See my profile for the location of my blog where you can read the full review and see pics and not just the captions. You can only eat so many boca burgers and salad and microwave only so many Amy's in a hotel room before you need a nice cooked meal. I had nothing to base my decision on since there were not all that many vegan options, i.e., one "vegan friendly" place. That actually means nothing as any steakhouse can be "vegan friendly" by offering a salad, so any omission foods, (meat dishes without the meat), do not vegan friendly make. So, Jade Garden. It's a tiny place with 4 tables and on this frigid January night, a small space heater. The place was freezing and a couple, (turned out waiting for their take out food), had that little heater pointing right at their table in the corner. It took a few cups of tea to warm up my fingers. There's no vestibule so every time someone came in or left, (and there were about 8 people coming and going with their take out orders), the temperature dropped 30 degrees. The front door, plastic on the windows, and the heater at my right elbow which you can't see pointing away from me. I thought the menu had some vegetable soong but apparently there are two restaurants. The other restaurant, I was told, had more tables, a sushi bar, and a regular bar in addition to what appears to be the menu found online. I found out about this after I paid my bill but hopefully among that list of amenities one would have included heat. Yes, of course I switched tables. So I could study. I saw one vegetable dish and the waitress couldn't really tell me what was in the sauce but when I asked about chicken stock she said there wasn't any. She then pointed out a dish with tofu and veggies and suggested that so I ordered it very spicy and I confirmed there was no animal products used in its preparation. I asked about brown rice and she asked if I wanted fried rice. I'm not in New York. (I know that was a snobby thing to say but sometimes I think like a snobby New Yorker.) I asked for veggie fried rice and she said there was only scallions in it. It became apparent I wasn't going to get my custom made meal so I just said, "sure," and asked for no egg. I'm surprised I remembered that. The fried rice was good although not super flavorful and as promised, just had brown and scallions. The tofu dish was nicely spicy but although the waitress later said it was only chili oil it had a tomato-ey, at first thought ketchup-y, taste. Not bad but predicable flavor. The dish had no bok choy but did have fresh and crunchy cooked broccoli and snow peas with a mix of the standard canned water chestnuts and mushrooms. It was a very colorful dish as well. The tofu was deep fried and had a bit of a chewy texture. Not in a bad way but not just pressed and added to soak up the sauce. It wasn't a "healthy" meal although it was vegan as far as I could tell and definitely satisfying and warming when the temp outside, (and inside), plummets. Next time I'm definitely going to give the other Jade Garden a try. About this one, don't go in the winter if you are going to enjoy a sit down meal. My mom used to spend this much on dinner ... in 1965. It was a ton of food for 8 bucks. OK, so of course, at the end of the meal the waitress puts down the requisite fortune cookie and I with typical dopamine infused mindlessness open it up and down it in 2 chomps. Then out of curiosity I look at the wrapper. Egg. Egg? Oh yes, apparently the fortune cookie would have just sucked without that uber special ingredient. It's a good thing I truly believe that being vegan is not about perfection. I mentioned it to the waitress in passing and reminded myself that apparently the word "vegan" is from the latin word, "veganeyeballis" which means read the damn labels. If you want to be 100% sure about ingredients never ever eat out or only choose 100% vegan restaurants. Uhm, yeah, that's not going to happen.

If anything these folks are over attentive but there is no better Oriental fare, fresh and they will do anything for you. And full bar. Clean, nice, respectful, a good yummy experience with a fantastic menu!

This restaurant -- and its sister restaurant on Nappanee Street -- are hidden gems. The Johnson Street location defines "hole in the wall." Do not be deceived -- owners Kenny and Rona and their staff present a menu packed with big flavors. Their cuisine would stack up well even in larger markets. I've never had a bad meal here. In particular, I highly recommend the Hot and Sour Soup, Orange Beef and Triple Delight. Road construction makes it difficult to get here, so diners may want to go to the larger restaurant on the other side of town (plus you can pretty good sushi there), but the trip is worth the hassle.

Jade Garden USED to be the best Chinese food in Elkhart. In the past several years the quality of the food has diminished incredibly. I'm not sure why this place continues to gain rave reviews when it is apparent to me that Jade Garden has given up on the presentation and quality of their meals. Tonight I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork. The meal comes with white rice and that was edible, but the pork was terrible. The portions of pork are about as big as a pinky nail, or a two pronged lego peice but the fried dough it is lodged in makes the portion look the size of a ping pong ball. The only vegetables served with the fried dough balls are green pepper and onion. Those are cold. There is no pineapple, carrot or sauce. I actually googled an image of sweet and sour pork and none of those images looked like what I was served this evening. The red sauce is served on the side and to make the meal more interesting, some of the breaded meat chunks were chicken. After attempting to eat four bites I started peeling the breading away and was left with less than a mouthful of meat morsels and an entire plate of fried greasy breading. Terrible.

Jade Garden is my favorite local restaurant for Chinese. The Johnson St. location is our favorite for take-out. They have a great price for lunch items. For about $5.00 you can get your meal, soup and an egg roll. Dinner prices are a little more, but they don't skimp on the sizes. I can't eat shrimp and don't like pork, and have found that many are places don't carry egg rolls without it. Jade Garden has veggie egg rolls or the standard with shrimp and pork. I love the chicken fried rice. My boyfriend loves the Gen. Tsao's chicken. Only complaint is that the Egg drop soup looks a little green toward the end of the night. I think this is just a problem with egg drop soup though, I've seen it worse at other restaurants in the past.
