Green Jade in Islington

A great find. A lovely welcome by the owner and his hospitality was amazing. Looks like a basic take away with a couple of tables however, the food was absolutely gorgeous and just what we needed after an exhausting day.

From the outside Green Jade makes little impression of being more than just an average takeaway, but the boss is a real character, funny, generous, if sometimes a little abrasive. He and his sister have served me with authentic Cantonese food of surprisingly high quality and excellent value for many years, and they have a large number of faithful customers, which is always a good sign!

Una de las mejores cocinas cantonesas en el norte de Londres, servicio suave y rápido, uno de los mejores lugares para conocer los gustos de HK

Comida increíble en esta pequeña joya escondida. El personal es muy amable y la comida es fresca y sabrosa.

Estoy realmente molesto. He estado yendo a este lugar desde 2002 y, aunque normalmente hace frío, nunca han tenido problemas cuando les pedí que se pusieran el pequeño calentador. Esta noche dijo que no y fue bastante desagradable. Normalmente hubiera caminado, pero como lo había estado antes, pensé que era un mal día. Miramos el menú y parecía ser diferente. Le pregunté a la gerencia y lo cambió y él respondió rudamente que sí. Decidimos mover la mesa más adentro para calentarse y él nos dijo que nos fuéramos. Le pregunté por qué, como he venido durante muchos años. La mujer en la cocina también nos ignoró. Estoy desolado como lo he estado esperando por mucho tiempo. Realmente no sé qué le pasó a él.

Food is so amazing, you can taste some good chinese/hongkong home cooked meal. The portion is so big and the dish are just so good. They are the favourite local chinese restaurant/take away in Holloway road. A must to visit if you are into asian cuisine. The guy who serves/owner is also very warm and friendly.

Green Jade is excellent. Owner is friendly (though quite direct, but it is just his manner!) service is quick and the food is fantastic, like being in a noodle shop in Beijing.

I lived around for ages and it took me a while to try as it really doesn't look like much. But it has been around forever and is sticking so I figure there must be something. Restult, great food, very cheap and the people are very nice as well.

Brilliant little chinese. The man that runs it is so very polite and helpful. Food is brilliant, great portion sizes and very tasty. Excellent prices all round great place highly reccomended a*****

Great food. Great service. Manager is a very friendly chap. It feels like your in a noodle bar in China. My fave place for Chinese in who whole of London.

I have been using this local for takeaways the food has always been very good and I would recommend everyone to try it as you will not be disappointed

It's been here for 20 years so they know what people like and is always busy. Also had a few tables. If tried many others as they Penn but can't beet this.

Very unpretentious and better than most local Chinese food. Tasty - with a chilli kick when it says spicy or chilli (unlike most Chinese restaurants I have found). Very friendly and speedy service. This is now my local take-away of choice having been disappointed by some and disgusted at the dirty surrounds of others (it scores well on food hygiene ratings). My only complaint is that out of the 3 dishes I ordered this week 2 were incorrect! The guy on the desk needs to listen carefully to the customer.

This place has been on Holloway Road for as long as I can remember, at least 25 years, it may have changed name a couple of times, but this tiny takeaway with tables always offers great value tasty Chinese food, that cooked extremely well and fast. The menu is wide and varied and they offer plenty of one plate dinners, including dishes like Char Sui and Chicken on Boiled Rice, or Mixed Meat with Chilli Soya Bean Sauce on Rice, plus lovely fresh noodle soups. There are of course all the family staples such as Sweet and Sour, Ribs, Chow Mein etc. There are around 5 tables in the whole place, the service is friendly and the food is great value, so if you find yourself at the southern end of Holloway road near to the junction with Liverpool Road, give green jade a try, note it can get really busy on Arsenal match days and that they do not serve alcohol, but the steaming hot chinese tea is also very good
