Just had a delicious dinner here. We ordered the Jade Island chicken, beef and scallops, fried dumplings, wanton soup, and pan fried seafood noodles. Everything was good except for the pan fried noodles. The noodles were too salty. The service is just ok. It was a little difficult to get the attention of the servers. We will definitely come back.
This old school Chinese restaurant in a Staten Island strip mall is a classic. Even the late Anthony Bourdain has been here and approved. The food is classic American Chinese food.Ive yet to try the drinks which are famous as Ive always gone for lunch and drive there.The decor is original. It is really a time capsule and reminds me of a Chinese restaurant I went to as a child.If you have not been and happen to be in the area you should check it out.
Food was good ordered ribs and general tos chicken a bit pricey spent 58 with one soda plus tip.
Been going there for years. The service is top notch. Waiters are very helpful.
Always an amazing experience. The decor remains unchanged for generations but we wouldnt want it any other way. Simply the best at what they do everything is exactly as it should be. Quick service excellent food every time
5 stars for Jade Island as the service and food are both very good. Its been there for decades for a good reason. Dont miss the egg drop wonton mix soup.
Food was amazing, great ambiance, covered hutches with plastic for extra COVID protection!
First time ordering here, ordered eggrolls- NO SAYING IT WAS MADE WITH SHRIMP! thank god my 10yr old took the first bite and told me because im highly allergic to shellfish— when i called the restaurant to ask why its not specified i was told THEY CANT WRITE DESCRIPTIONS FOR EVERYTHING AND I SHOULDVE KNOWN! please be aware they don’t specify and they dont care either way!
This place changed...many items we ordered didnt taste as good as it once did. If I do go back itll be for just a PuPu platter & drinks!
This place is loud and chaotic, waiters hardly seem to understand what you are asking (had to state my order at least three times and still got white rice instead of brown). Food is so-so, drinks are limited, no idea what’s in the “cocktails” listed. Everything is a “secret recipe.” Overall iffy experience.
Excellent all the way. Great food and service. Top shelf on Staten Island when it comes to Chinese Restaurants.
Food is very good but last time I ordered my wonton soup spilled out all over my food and made everything wet and now they were not honor and give me the free wonton soup that they promised me next time I call.
Great traditional, old school Chinese🉐🈴🈵 restuarant! Went for lunch.They start you off with traditional crunchy chinese noodles with dipping sweet sauce / spicy mustard.Then a hot delicous pot of tea.Had $7.00 🍸martinis, they werent huge, but excellent! Food was fantastic and decor / lighting felt like a tiki bar🈶🈯.
Place looks like a Chinese restaurant from the 80s in the best possible way. Food and service is always on point.
One of my favorite old style Chinese restaurants! Great food, soup, dim sum, everything!!
The waiter was awesome, we have not been here in yrs and it was awesome just like yrs ago.
Hasnt changed since i was a kid. Food still really good and excellent service. My husband says they have the best won ton soup around.
Have been going to Jade Island for years. Went with my whole family yrs ago. After I was married and had children we continued to go and still going yrs later. It is a comfortable place to be and we really enjoy the food. A favorite of ours is the lobster cantonese.
Amazing Chinese fare on the Island 🌴Great Management, great atmosphereThe BEST Piña 🍍 Colada Drinks 🍹 we’ve had in all of NYC!Order Shrimp 🍤 with Lobster Sauce and you will know what heaven feels like 👼🏻
Chips and salsa very filling and nutritious. Water NEVER EMPTY. Greatest water service of all time. Spaghetti wasn’t the best. Rice was ricey. Jar Jar Binks was a great waiter. Queso mad weird lol
Food sucked so much disgusting bland and the waiters are so cold no personality i wish it went outta business a couple years ago
Food is really good. Very friendly in there and is worth the price you pay for. You always go home with leftovers. 4 out of 5 stars
Just paid $17 for a miniature tasteless generals chicken combo, just brown hot gray on mushy chicken, luckily they gave me mustard too somewhat flavor it.
Quickly seated, staff adheres to covid-19 protocols. Waiter was pleasant, drinks and food came quickly. Great value. Clean restaurant and restrooms.
Service was in express mode...but like the past 50 years the food is very good
Worse food ever , bought it for take out and never again , the chicken was raw and not cooked and the noodles were tasteless and the fried rice was just nasty , dont order from here stay away and theyre expensive dont know why when their food is nasty !
Im changing this review. I went on sunday October 6, I specifically asked multiple times does the eggplant and garlic sauce have pork and the waiter said no. I reheated some today and there was pork shredded in it and also cubed.
Food was delicious as usual service was very good
Food and service is just as good as it always has been !!!
Stay away from this place. Probably the worst chinese food i have ever eaten. The pork fried rice was mushy and the pork old. The General Tso chicken was fatty and pretty much tasteless. The egg foo yong was dry and disgusting. Its like they served me old food. The restaurant didnt have a great smell either. That shouldve been my first clue. I have no idea how they have an A rating.
It is so beautiful inside. Makes your experience very relaxing.
Food is delicious. Loved it! Will definitely be back! Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always good. Fast service even when busy. A classic of Staten Island!
Unfortunately I had food poisoning from my purchase on 7/13/21.I called to have a conversation about the incident so that way it would be properly addressed and no further incidents ,but my call was never returned. They ignored a conversation with a customer which shows lack of concern for me and everyone else. Sadly this incident was so bad I have no more appetite for this food.
The food was really good just wasnt a fan of the server I had. I would purchase food as a take out option next time. The prices are reasonable.
Wow, first time I ate here and was truly impressed. From the welcoming front staff to the wait staff made my dining experience a truly remarkable one. On top of that, the food was delicious and really nice size portions. Will definitely be back here in the near future.
As good as ever. Fantastic tropical drinks and delicious Chinese food. The best Winton soup and egg rolls anywhere. Check them out if you are in Staten Island.
Incredible. Excellent in every way. Many Thanks.
It has lost it’s spark. I have been here when I was dating my husband, and it was good. But today 3/4/21 we just picked up dinner on the go and it was by far the most disgusting food we ever had. The egg rolls were NOT fresh, tasted as if they were refried various times. The fried chicken wings were not fried and instead in a garlic sauce and the dumplings were bland and cold!!When we called to complain the man on the other end said to bring the food back! As if, I was around the corner! Never again, they have lost a customer. I do not recommend!
This place is amazing, only place with good Polynesian food, so good you find room for it when your stomach is full, the egg drop wonton is to die for, the quality is great, and the atmosphere is very tropical and charming, The service is great.
My favorite chinese food on the island. The host was very nice but our waiter seemed to have little patience for our table. He was short and seemed to be annoyed at anything we asked for. My sister in law is allergic to shrimp so when we ordered the family meal they bring out egg rolls with the order, family style. When we asked for a shrimp free roll they waiter picked up our serving tongs and took one egg roll off of our table and brought it back into the kitchen.. we were shocked. Why wouldnt they just charge us for a different roll and leave all the egg rolls where they were? Did they serve that egg roll from our table to a different family? We didnt touch it but how do they know that??? The food is delicious and is fresh. They have my favorite fried rice and their sesame chicken is great. The atmosphere is fun and light and it makes for a great night. Highly recommended
All around decent place. Good Customer service, good food ( nice size portions) , + price 😋 Definitely making a return visit. ( cozy spot)
Great food delicious authentic cocktails great decor best atmosphere for a Chinese restaurant a fabulous experience I have been dining here for 30 plus years and never been let down
Best Chinese food in Staten Island bar none!
This place is adorable! Kitschy little tiki-inspired spot in the boroughs. Staff was silly and played with me when I had some questions. My lo-mein was on point and the complimentary tea is delicious! Point off for the bland wonton soup and I just wish the lunch menu had a bit more variety.
Terrible, the beef and broccoli , the beef was a light color with no flavor, the broccoli was very soft . The vegetables fried rice had no vegetables, the wontons had almost no stuffing in the soup , the Bbq ribs were tough and dry , I still have a few item to try
Had lunch here for the first time in about 2 years. Everything was delicious, especially the shrimp with lobster sauce. Service is still excellent.
No restaurant experience is so well preserved and for that alone Jade Island is worth a visit. Walking into Jade is walking directly into the 70s. Anthony Bourdain said it best when he visited: “I feel like I’m in another world. A good world”.
Food was excellent. Bartender no personally. Not a smile or thank you. Raymond the regular Bartender was off. Never again unless Raymond there.
Returned my food because quality was trash, they only gave me a partial refund
Jade Island is one of my favorite places, why else would I travel to Staten Island from Brooklyn to get it. However, my last order in August 2020 was not as superior as always. It was quite good, but I would think twice about making a trip in to get it. I have been coming to Jade Island a good 30 years, if not more, and it always has been consistent, but somethings just not right, either they changed the staff or cutting back on quality, I don’t know. I do hope the owners take note of my review, because I want them to get back to their best. I don’t want to start naming all the things I’ve noticed, because there are many. As I said, Jade Island has always been a favorite of mine, and I do hope my next visit, sometime in the fall perhaps will not disappoint.
3/18/21 Horrible, my son and I just ordered wonton soup and spareribs.. I bit into a wonton noodle and i had to spit it out thats how bad it was. the texture was kinda like chewie raw, disgusting. and my son didnt like the spareribs. I hate wasting money on food. if I had a car I would have brought it back.
This restaurant is always a must when in Staten Island, because they never disappointwith my order of Lobster Cantonese with BlackBeans sauce. Their spare ribs are absolutely delicious. I had to end my meal with the cherry pistachio ice cream, which was the creamiest.Recommend highly.
My family and I usually here once in awhile... Love the food here, very tasty and delicious. Very nice place, clean, cozy Polynesian style booths, quick and friendly service... Very different taste from your regular Chinese food.... Saw this place on one of Anthony Bourdain 😢episodes and decided to give it a try and we keep.going back.
I absolutely LOVE jade island. Been coming here over 30 years. However my last visit was disappointing. The food was lukewarm and the egg roll burned and hard as a rock. BUT Everybody has an off day. And I figure over 30 years of perfection it is bound to happen once in a while. I will definitely be going back.

This is our favorite restaurant. Tasty dishes served efficiently fast. Wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and can make recommendations based on your preferences. Mgmt is terrific & accommodating. Thanks Tina for always making my daughter feel welcome and special. Weve never had a bad experience, even on a busy Saturday night. The drinks from the bar are also refreshingly boozey!
Totally average food, cute decor but kind of grubby. Theyve got lots of positive newspaper clippings up with rave reviews of the restaurant, but theyre old and faded and so is this restaurant and the chefs vision. Come with low expectations.
A Staten Island classic. One of, if not the last of, the Polynesian restaurants. Great food, tasty fare. Loyal following. Worth a trip.
Always a pleasure to eat at Jade Island. Its part of Staten Islands drinking and dining history.
Always excellent food and service. I come here once a week to eat.
This is a wonderful little place. With an incredible feel and atmosphere! The food was wonderful and plenty of leftovers!
Great food, atmosphere, and service!
Used to be the best of the best. Food quality slipping since the pandemic...not their fault but I was disappointed after 40 years of being a customer.
Best Polnesian food in NYC with an amazing atmosphere! Soon to be in biz for 50 yrs. Great menu, drinks with a polite & courteous staff. Definitely a Top 10 restaurant on Staten Is. Keep up the great work John. 🙏😎 👍🐲
Worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. They rushed us. They were rude to us. We were a table of 6 that got entrees and drinks with a large bill and they were rude to us the entire time. Food was mediocre. Over priced food. We were rushed and they were extremely rude. Terrible hospitality. Never returning and recommend you do not go to this place.
Went with famh of 4. Looked like s bit of organized chaos going on. Felt a bit rushed ordering food but everything came out perfect. We never did get our sodas but had constant flow of water without asking. Everything came so fast and then cleaned off just as fast but took 20 minutes to get the check. Definitely give the place a try. Great fried rice and grand mariner shrimp with honey walnuts.
More American / Polynesian than Chinese. Family platter is a good deal. They put up with our loud child and were very accommodating. You will be comfortable here! Food is average to above average maybe a bit expensive compared to normal Chinese food but youre paying for the environment if you go here. Tiki themed and staff all wear Hawaiian shirts
This is old world Chinese food. It is delicious and the drink are amazing. The staff is very professional and nice.
This place is amazing... amazing food and specialty drinks are out of this world.... highly recommend for anyone. Service is amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful.
I loved the food here. Fried rice was delicious! I enjoyed the complimentary tea. chicken Mei fun --- ahem! Was no fun!! It was too bland for me. Overall a good dining experience.
Over priced. Dark decor. Food was ok but should be better considering the price they are charging. Awesome fried rice. Ordered two entrees, soup, fried rice, and two soft drinks and the bill came out to $70!?!
Great food great service great atmosphere lil old school but still very cool awesome drinks wanna give a shout out to our sever danny your awesome brother
Have gone here for years. The food is always good,the staff are very nice the place is clean and drinks are also very good. Definitely worth the visit.
Didn’t get food only sat at the bar for drinks. Our bartender was really really nice and attentive. Offered us the fried crispy noodles to snack on with our drinks complimentary which was really nice. Both mine and my girlfriends drinks were super sweet, yet still boozy, and had fun garnishes. Everything was so cheap too! $9 for a crazy tiki drink is awesome. Loved the tiki decor and can’t wait to come back for a meal as well!

Got my food late. I understand with the quarantine things can be late. But once my food came I had a whole order of lo mein missing, my crab re gun was burnt and they made one of the dumplings fried instead of steamed when it said steam.(online order). Never ordering again thanks for stealing my money
Food is always great. You have to try the pan fried dumplings with brown sauce.Service is fast, but fairly poor when you sit at the bar. This is the only place Ive gone with my friends, and not left a great tip.
Pushy waiters. The food is nothing special at all. The staff shows no desire to accommodate you. The place was practically empty when I went, and I felt pressure from the waiters to leave, so they could bus the table. Never going back. There are so many other more enjoyable places with GOOD food.
Chinese food with a bit of tropical flair. A lot of the dishes are pretty typical Americanized Chinese food. If youre looking for something a little more different, try the egg Foo young which I havent seen like this anywhere else. It should be noted they tend to serve the dishes here by giving one to each individual as opposed to shared in the middle of the table like more traditional Chinese restaurants.
Absolutely horrible. Every server is rude and doesn’t want to be bothered. When I go out to eat I want to enjoy myself, not only did I feel rushed I felt like I was a bother to them by asking for a simple glass of water. Never going back to this establishment. Horrible experience, don’t waste your money here. Food wasn’t even good.
Delicious shrimp with lobster sauce and fried rice. And their fried noodles are AMAZING!
Been coming here for years and oh my what a fall from Grace. Their AC isnt working all the servers we came in contact with had terrible attitudes and worst of all the food tasted stale the oil tasted old. They even told us they ran out of soup an ice as they continously brought out ice an soup to every other table. I dont think Ill ever come here again and that kills me to say that.
Fast service and unique interior. $$$
I have a love hate relationship with this restaurant. They are expensive. The food is very hit or miss. There are only a few things I will order here to avoid disappointment. Shrimp with lobster sauce, spare ribs and wonton soup are reliable menu items
One of the best places ever. Traditional chinese-american food; one of the first ones in Staten Island. I have been going here since they opened in 1970 when I was 6 years old. Still the same furniture and decor, which turns off some people, but for me it just good nostalgia. When I was younger I came just for the bar, with the Zombies and Headhunter drinks, they hit you right in the head and make you smile!
My husband, family, and I have been coming here for forty-two years and its our favorite restaurant in NYC! The food is fantastic, the staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Highly, HIGHLY recommend it!
Have come here for 20yrs and yes the decor hasnt changed but thats what I like about. The po po platter is good the Mai Tais always go down smooth. Had the egg foo young with shrimp fried rice and it was the way I always remember it..
Great service, nice and wonderful setting. only complaint is the food not that great. too sweet, they put too much sugar, can not taste the original dishes.
This spot offers excellent service and tasty food. One of the best place in town. The drinks and food served quick and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.
Very good food. Service excellent. Thanks jade island.
Excellent service and great food
Just finished eating a meal at Jade Island with my family and i have to say i loved it. The waiters were kind and courteous and the food came out quickly and was delicious. My bill wasnt too high which i was happy about. I cant wait to come back and eat again.
Ordered general tso chicken and chicken wings. Tasted awful and way too salty. I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Nice staff good food
While the wait time at Jade Island can be quite a deterrent, I really enjoyed my meal, especially the wonton soup and pork fried rice. The decor is cheesy but fun and they even serve fun cocktails.Service can be a little slow but if you look around, you understand why: its packed to the gills but they have a small number of servers. They definitely try their best but service is a little lacking, which is unfortunate.
Wow throw back to a different era the food was fantastic will go back often and the people that work there are just a as nice as everything else would recommend to everyone!!!!
Please make efforts to meet the signs of times.. People dont order chicken with broccoli, lo mein and pupu platter anymore.China has such fantastic food from different provinces.. Thanks to Internet and our Urban cities we now know the remarkable dish such as Hot Pot has been a best kept secret.. Let us taste the real Chinese food. Just a suggestion.. Cantonese, Shezuan. Schiuan, Hunan, Xian are just to name a few...
As a titiphile and lover of all things Midcentury, I made the long trek into the heart of Staten Island (previous I had never been past the ferry terminal) to eat here. Two subways, the Staten Island ferry, the Staten Island railroad and a bus....I think! The trek took about 1.5 hours.It didnt disappoint. I loved the midcentury tiki cocktails and the Polynesian fare. I had volcano steak that was set on fire surrounded by pineapples and other trappings. Drinks and food were very good.This is the only tiki place in all of New York now...the rest are long gone. The legendary Hawaii Kai closed in the late 1980s and all that is left of it is a cookbook, post cards and a mug or two will show up on ebay. Im glad the owners of Jade island keep the tiki theme as its a rapidly disappearing part of Americana.
It was okay, love the kitschy atmosphere... the drinks were strong, bartender was pleasant and the appetizers were big. All around a good Friday with my babe!
My family and I went to jade island for new years eve dinner it was great food is always great waiters were very good they dont rush you they take the time to make your stay great they were busy but help you with getting what you wanted. My family and I always go on new years eve but now we will go when ever we can .I highly recommend Jade Island thats why I gave 5stars you wont be disappointed
Food is great every time I go, which is alot to be honest, they give hot tea, noodles and duck sauce and mustard all free of charge. The only real Chinese restaurant worth the money on the island, by the way if your concerned with the prices just do what i do and get one from a one from b, its cheaper and they give u so much food u will have enough for 2 days
Fantastic place in Staten Island for Asian food. They are very clean and friendly place. Im going to this restaurant since 1998, very clean food. No frill, no msg, no preservatives added to the food. Sing, John and Reymond are the friendliest people . You will never get dissapointed by the service.Please tell, Siva from #emeraldgemexchange send you.
The Waitor was so great. We were going to over order and he was nice enough to tell us. Food was excellent. I’m a Chinese food lover. And def loved it!!!!
What a gem! This place transported me to another space i felt like I was out on the islands somewhere. Food was simply delicious, the drinks extra cute and tropical-like, and the staff made me feel like i was home. Def a place to visit again and again!
Since I can remember Jade Island has offered the VERY BEST in delicious food and excellent, caring service.YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!!Jade Islands shrimp fried rice a day old is better than other places freshly made.
Amazing food and decor
Take a step back into the past. For native Islanders it hasnt changed since the 70s. Was high dining on Staten Island. Still has the grass hut booths and drinks in tikis. Friendly service and lots of good food.
Real Chinese food the way it use to be in the old days!!
One of the last survivors of a dying breed. Outstanding food and drink. Very attentive service.
I love this place, food is the best Chinese on Staten Island, been around forever and they haven’t changed the decor I love that it’s original
Wow!! This place is so much fun. The food portions are HUGE and absolutely delish!! Fun decor, cute tiki booths for two make for an enjoyable eating experience.
Excellent food great staff great drinks
We stopped here at 9pm to meet up with an old friend before heading home. We werent initially going to order any food but decided to get the Fuji Duck and a cup of Wonton Soup to share. The wontons really were just all skin and no meat, and the duck just seemed old and dry. That said, the brown sauce that was served with the duck and all the vegetables in it were really good... so go figure?Would I stop by here again? Yes, but I wouldnt be driving out of my way for it.
Great Drink is the HEADHUNTER. Fruit with Rum. Food is really good. Been going there for years and we never had a bad meal. Price is not expensive and service is friendly.
Ive been coming here for over 20 years. Best Chinese on the island hands down. Many memories in this restaurant. Same feel / recipes for decades
My favorite Chinese food place in Staten Island. The decor is a classic just like the cocktails. Believe it or not they have one of the best cocktail lists on the island.
This is absolutely my favorite restaurant. It is my go to special occasion place. The food is fantastic and so is the service. Always a 5 star experience.
Mixture of asian and Polynesian.. good food
Awesome food as always .. been go there for 40 yrs ...NEVER DISAPPOINTED ....
Great place to eat and drink. I have been going there for over 20 years, the service and food is always excellent.
I am not a huge fan of Chinese food but the portions were huge the prices were reasonable in the service was not only awesome it came with a smile and some humor.
Good atmosphere, great food. A little pricey compared to other restaurants, but well worth it.
One of Staten Islands best kept secrets- great food, AMAZING mixed drinks with a Polynesian feel. Try the Navy Grog for a refreshing but simple cocktail or get something crazy served in a coconut or a pineapple.
Food was good as always but our waiter told us we had to give him a 15% tip?? He did the same to the people seated next to us...
Food was over price and was ok didnt have a good appetizer menu honestly you can get the same chinese food from a take out place and it would be the same
Excellent food. Wonderful service - As always!!!!
We had a very good experience at the Jade Island was my daughters birthday and they took care of us they made my daughter feel very very good and her friends we had boneless ribs sesame chicken with noodles wait is over there are very helpful I recommend Jane Addams for a good lunch and a good dinner
Serving up classic Chinese food since 1974!
Good eat-in chinese restaurant with a fun atmosphere. Drinks are highly recommended.
Great atmosphere great people workingreat people working and took care of my table
This was actually seriously good Chinese food! It was good quality and the atmosphere inside for the restaurant very well.Overall high quality and great service!
Still solid old fashioned Chinese Food.Love it
One of the best Chinese food joints in Staten Island with a Polynesian setup. This place has been in business for 50 years.
Always great food and service
Was my first time there. Food is delicious and staff outstanding. I hvae to go back and have there seafood. So yummy
Best Chinese (Polynesian?) Food on Staten Island. Not a take out place, this is the place to go for legit sit down American Chinese Food. Great Dining room too.
Delivery experience was horrible. I normally leave a good tip for delivery drivers but this one was horrible. He came way too late and when I handed him the cash he started to leave without giving me my change back (Total was $23.56 and I gave him 2 twenty dollar bills) I had to ask him for change and then he was like “How much change do you need?” Please let drivers know that tip is optional. They shouldn’t be demanding tip!
The food is excellent and service is phenomenal! The drinks are excellent too! My favorite chinese Polynesian restaurant for years!
I had surgery & not allowed to eat a lot.. so ordered chicken with rice soup and boneless ribs & the ribs had no flavor
Service was okay and food sucked. I had better american chinese take out. I only came here because it was rated number 1 Asian restaurant on silive.
Poor svc. Over priced.Waiter kept on disappearing. Also, the waiters would consistently bumps your chair when you are dinning.
Service was great, food was fabulous. They have booths, nice atmosphere. We’ll be back.
Same old Jade Island, just as good as it was 20 years ago. Consistent food, head hunters n zombies... ohh and pu pu platters. Old time Polynesian restaurant in a time capsule from the 70-80s.
My family has eaten her for decades and I love the food. The service is great and the atmosphere is great.
Been going here for well over 40 years. Same great food. Place hasnt changed a bit!
Very attentive to clients..full service! Various choices of cocktails.
Good food great portions great Drinks😎👍
Very nice place for great-tasting traditional Chinese food in a slightly more upscale environment. Can get a bit pricey.
Great food and service as always
Very nice place to go.
The food is very good.. always happy to go there ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pretty good food if youre looking for American Chinese food. Not too many authentic Chinese options. Not sure if any of the Polynesian dishes are authentic either.
The pork egg foo young that I ordered was horrible I wouldnt give that food to my dogs
This place is definitely a Staten Island institution! Food is great! Tons of good drinks! Do yourself a favor and go!
Always the best service! Food is delicious.
Been coming here for more than 30 years. Good food, good service, nice variety . friendly people
Try to not go on a Friday night very busy. But the waiter was great the food as always delicious.
Good change from down the block Chinese joint. A bit overpriced, but food fresh. Service as you can expect it to be. One advance is the full bar!
Nice atmosphere and the food and service is excellent I will definitely be returning to this place its worth the drive
Great food great service friendly nice atmosphere although a little pricey
Food is great but service is Terrible.Attitudes isn’t something you give customers no matter what the circumstances are.Drink prices are over priced glass of soda $3.50
Overpriced and the food is greasy. Spring rolls had zero flavor. I wasnt impressed.
Been going to Jade Island since the early 1970s. Great food, nice atmosphere, excellent service and prices are very reasonable
Great sit down polynesian/Asian fusion meal. I hear the drinks are strong but the food is definitely delicious!
Sad how far downhill Jade Island has gone over the years. I ordered the sesame chicken and it is served with dark meat. When questioned they claimed it was white meat. Absurd. Other than the drinks, never a reason to go to, or order from Jade Island again.
Good food clean.. Waiters friendly. Lunch is good soup, meal, and dessert..
Service was excellent no rush. Food surprisingly great. Prices good.
I love the food. Very clean and friendly. Fast service.
Great experience, delicious food, excellent staff and service. Well be back.
Like going back in time.. Waiting for Frank Sinatra and Montgomery Cliff to walk into the bar and start fighting with Ernest Borgnine and Burt Lancaster would step in and break it up..
Amazing food with a great old school atmosphere. A nice polynesian twist to the flavor.
Love the retro atmosphere! Good food, nice staff, reasonable prices.
Best drink and food
One of the best Chinese restaurant in Staten Island. Great food and service!
Ive been coming here since I was a little girl! Great food and good service.
Great food, super fast service. So retro you feel like you stepped back in time.
I would literally travel over 1,000 miles just to eat here and enjoy the wonderful owner’s and worker’s.
Best Chinese food anywhere any time. Ask for Danny. Fantastic waiter.
As always the food was consistently excellent and so is the service from a server Liao
Their soup is pretty good their service is great and the foods not too too expensive
Best Chinese Restaurant

2022-04-13Massive portions, but its quantity over quality. The sweet and sour chicken wasnt very good, but the fried rice and generals chicken were. Depends on what you get whether or not its worth it. Cool presentation on the platter though!

2021-10-11Delicious drinks in a fabulously retro setting with a huge menu of options. Between two people, we got the Jade Island Special, the Pina Colada, the Headhunter and the Scorpion. If you get a separate glass and combine equal parts of the Scorpion with the Headhunter, youve got a winning combo. The food was good; there were no problems with the vegetable dumplings, the shrimp toast, the rumaki or the house chips. Our server was very efficient and checked in on us regularly.

2022-05-15I used to come here as a child and the decor and atmosphere have not changed at all! Neither have some of the staff LOL. My daughter who is now going to be 30 still calls the tiki Oliver! It brings back great memories of abundant family style food that is hot and delicious! Will be a lifetime patron of this gem of a restaurant! Never change!

2021-06-16This time we got the Jade Island family package for four, and it comes with four choices from two columns of selections; as well as rice, soup, egg rolls, and dessert for each person.Its so much food, and we had many leftovers to bring home. The food is also top quality, much better than what you get at a greasy fast Chinese restaurant.

2022-05-02The staff was very pleasant but the prices are a little much for the quality of food. Definitely not worth what you pay.

2020-01-04This was basically a long overdue pilgrimage for my family as Anthony Bourdain devotees. The food was sublime! Generous portions and immaculate presentation. The standout here was the staff. Everyone we encountered was SO friendly. We actually considered hugging our waiter before we left...

2019-07-28Oh fun! The place is marvelously kitchie...tiki bar meets old style chinese restaurant. I loved it. None of us had tiki cocktails but they looked fabulous. Its been quite some time since I was offered fried noodles to dip in sweet and sour sauce or chinese mustard...and I do honestly love that mustard. Hubbs prefers the sweet one so no arguing ensues. I had wonton soup...think back to the first times you had it...thats how it was...yum. They shared really good hot and sour soup which they liked from the first bite but more and more as it got hotter at the bottom. Ok the food...three of us at dinner and we had Generals Chicken...deep sweet and hot sauce, chicken done well, and steamed broccoli,. Overall very nice. Garlic Scallops...a dark and tangy sauce, onion carrot and green peppers and lots of good sized scallops...a success but Im told maybe too many green peppers for someone not a fan. Finally Fuji Duck...I loved it! Sauce full of onion and bean sprouts and the small bits of duck over crispy skin and breast of the duck. The service was quick and friendly..no complaints there. Not a cheap meal but not expensive either. Taken together a great meal with lots to enjoy tomorrow.

2018-04-20A great place to drink, eat and relax. Food are tasty. Chicken wings and BBQ ribs with special in-house made sauces are must-eat. They also offer great cocktail options, which are flavourful and well-balanced in taste. No need to mention the homey atmosphere and attentive services. Nancy is the sweetest!
