Jade Garden in Torfaen

The food was standard, it wasn’t particularly special but it wasn’t bad at all. Would order from here again

brilliant service from jade garden, have ordered from here a few times since moving to the area and food is always delicious . Recently, there was miscommunication between myself and the lady who took my order over the phone - I ordered chicken in black bean sauce with peppers but she misheard me and thought I said beef, when she read back the order I misheard her read back beef to me instead of chicken. Very disappointed when I received beef in black bean rather than chicken as I don’t eat beef. I rang them to explain and they happily sent the delivery driver back to pick up the beef in black beef to replace it with the chicken in black bean and not extra cost which I was so grateful for. Thanks so much from a single mum who hadn’t had a proper meal all day and was so excited for my Chinese! Highly recommend Jade Garden. Gorgeous food and brilliant service. Thanks so much again!

What can I say but I’m very disappointed with this place, it’s tragically going down hill well gone down hill, we used to go here so often twice a week almost every single week. However inside now in 2024 looks so old and outdated, and the thing that’s most annoying is the portion sizes are always mixed depending on who’s serving you, I’ve seen the guy out the back come out to the front to serve - he’s looked at one of the staff members do half and half told her she’s doing it wrong he takes over and he puts loads more chips in so it’s almost full then dumps loads of rice on then loads of curry on and tells her that’s how she’s supposed to do it. top man fairplay to you!! I feel bad for this review but it needs to be seen. So anyway after that guy did that I thought I’ll go back and then I’ve been back several times since and still whenever he’s not there the portion size is rubbish barely any chips or rice in half half. I’ve said to myself now I will try it one more time and if it’s the same then I’ll never go back. they need to renovate it and also to sort out their staff training in portion sizes. And the staff members who serve never look like they want to be there. Atmosphere there is just so gloom and doom.

Absolutely the best Chinese takeaway going!

Ordered just 2 curry and chips for tea in work this evening, staff lovely and accommodating, food gorgeous, we will definitely order again.

Food was all cooked fresh and hot, just didn't like the taste, usually Crispy Beef has nice sticky spicy sauce, this had a watery tasteless sauce with rough cut under cooked veg, Chicken balls were chewy and the worst thing was the pain Chow mein, it was all gloopy and tasted horrible. The positive was the curry sauce, it tasted lovely. I would not go there again and would not recommend. Give it a go though, and try for yourself. We all like different things

Been having food here for years and never had a single issue- one of the best places that do chips in Cwmbran!

Give that boy jack a raise knows how to scrub up the potato’s very tasty

Ordered from here because my usual, mings was closed. Overpriced, watered down and bland. Won't be trying it again

Always amazing tasty food from Jade Garden ignore the bad reviews, people have been going there for years, if anything it's got better.

Been going to the Jade Garden for a long time and although it has gone through some changes in recent years, they still deliver good quality food. I was surprised at the poor reviews left on here but as they say, people are much more willing to leave negative reviews than positive ones. I can't remember the last time I had bad food from here so it's only fair to say that. For anyone who doesn't realise what this place is, it's a sort of cross between a chippy and a Chinese. That means you can get a pie and chips (and the chips are probably the best chip-shop style chips in Cwmbran) or you can have crispy duck and chow mein and things like that. The portions are generous and well packaged. They open through the day too and offer lunchtime specials which are like smaller versions of the mains but at a cut price. They never used to offer a delivery service but now they have a couple of delivery drivers. Generally speaking, the food is well cooked, the staff are friendly and polite, they confirm your order back to you when you place it, and then confirm the contents of the bag when they're packing it up in front of you. In the years I've been going here I've honestly known one or two mistakes been made with an order, and when you bring it to the staff's attention, they're quick to rectify it. We had an evening meal from here last night which I phoned through just before 6pm and it was ready 15 minutes later. Got it home, dished up and was 100% satisfied with the food. Perfect on a miserable rainy Monday night. The only criticism I have, and why I can't give a 5 out of 5, is the prices. Like many other places they've ramped their prices up since covid times and it's getting silly. Still, it's decent food at ok prices with good service from the team.

How is this a Chinese? Worst place I've ever eaten from

Food was very bland. our crispy shredded beef was overcooked & dry & the chicken balls were soggy. the only thing that was half tidy were the chips

The 1st time back to The Jade Garden, Cwmbran in a few years, and we were totally disappointed. One of the worst Chinese Take Away meals in a long time.... And the chips where dry & cold, and that was just after 15 minutes from opening time......... It will be a few more years before we return there!!!

Not sure who runs this place but they are definately not Chinese. From the front there is a group of British people running around. Doesnt give the vibe of Chinese food at all. Onto the food. Chips were white and anemic amd smallest portion i have seen it was like they was rushed out. Chicken balls portion was tiny and the batter was soggy and cold, curry sauce was tasteless, food arrived cold. Portions tiny also quite expensive. Wont eat here again.

Chewy meat and very bland tasting in general.

Amazing chips, lovely curry sauce, and divine salt and pepper ribs. My new favourite local Chinese *chef's kiss*

Our go to Chinese of choice. I can only think of one time when something went wrong but it was remedied without any fuss. Great food.

Nice good decent prices.. result!

Jade Garden Chinese Takeaway absolutely shocking service this evening will never order from you again! Told our order would be 45 minutes after 1hr 15 minutes I rang to query how long it would be to be told that they have tried ringing me many times and knocked my door with no answer twice... when i challenged this because i have received no missed calls and i have not left my house. WOW!! I then get the manager shouting and swearing at me down the phone calling me a liar 🙈 Firstly if a chinese is at my door i am going to answer 🤣 secondly i am not a liar. If you want good service and an actual delivery that will arrive DO NOT order from here 😱🤦

After giving an honest review,on my last and final time @ this business, the owner stated that was the final time he was going to serve me,i take it he read my review,and didnt like the truth,i would give this place a wide berth

Order sweet and sour chicken but got curry sauce instead?? They have stopped doing Gluten Free chinese. Shame

Our meal was awful had beef chow mein the beef was disgusting and tough ,also out salt and pepper ribs was disgusting ,worse tasting Chinese I've ever had

Normally first class food but this time not good, king prawns were squishy,told owner but he says thats all he can get at present,supplier issues,well change suppliers and pay a little bit more

Nice food when they're open, but will close at the drop of a hat with no notice on SM.

Bought a Singapore chow mein lunchtime but it was very salty and had no peppers and a poor amount of meat content and at well over £6 was pretty awful.

Well don't know what's happened to jade garden .the meal I had tonight was bland tasteless.i have had this meal many times and always enjoyed it. Won't be going there again.

Worst Chinese I've ever had. So mild and bland. Placed order arrived 20 min as told later to stand in a queue for another 25min. Staff were very rude, unfriendly and the blonde lady ever used the F word when I asked for pompdoms. The curry sauce was so bad and mild I put it in the bin. Waste of £25. Avoid at all costs. You'll feel better giving your money to the homeless.

Worst Chinese takeaway I've had, only went here due to reviews and lees kitchen in pontypool was closed. Horrific

Not our usual local takeaway, but their food was very nice, probably slightly healthier than where we would normally have gone, will probably try it again

What has happened to Jade Garden? Inedible takeaway meal for £32 gone into the bin! Where to start? - curry sauce like water, chow mein tasteless, chips white and squishy, hot and spicy soup lacking any spice and a nasty tang to the beef dish. Rang to complain and since, by the time we got home, served it out and managed to get back through on the phone ( less than 3/4 hour in total) I was told that there is nothing that can be done about it!!!! What a joke! Even better, I was offered £5 off next meal - NEVER again.

Went for some food and it was disgusting the pastie was like cardboard chips was anorexic will never get any thing from there again waste of money it all went in the bin

Used to be a regular But since chips are like mush Beef like scrag ends Rice re used I don't bother any more. Looks wok now Newport More delivery fee but we'll worth it

Have been a weekly regular for nearly 13 yrs now, and in the last 2 yrs the jade garden has gone rapidly down hill, the food it not as it used to be, and the staff are always changing, they also pick and choose what times there open, it states on there front door 10.30 close, ive been over at 9.00 and they have told me it's closed ive also rang at around 9.00 and they have told me they are shut, I visited today 7th June 2022 at 9.50 and was once again told it was closed, when I said that it states 10.30 on the door I was then told they actually close at 10, I said it wasn't 10 o'clock yet though, and was then told witj an attitude that they have ran out of stuff so they have closed. They pick and choose when they wanna be open and when they wanna close, why have a sign on the door saying u close at 10.30 if u are going to close when u feel like it, so once again I went to China Palace in Pontnewydd who yet again gave us lovely service and are always open when the jade garden let's us down. So from now on the jade garden will be a no go and I will be telling friends and family the same.

Have been using Jade Garden for years, we don't have take away often but usually go there when we do. I don't think we will be going again, unfortunately the latest meal was awful. Not only was I shocked by the price increases our order was incorrect and the food was cold. Tried to get through to complain but the lines were busy.

Really good Chinese not had a bad one in all fairness, and they do chip shop chips which is rare for a Chinese/Indian to do.

First time trying Jade's Garden and to be honest it will be the last. All the meat in every dish we ordered was so dry and tough. I had to chew it a lot so I could swallow the big dry chunks of it. The chicken balls looked like they were frozen and reheated?? As they were so dry and shrivelled. The house special rice definitely had frozen peas added, as the peas were crispy and hard shelled. Not soft and moist as peas should be/taste like. Food didn't have much flavour. Too top it off we didn't get our free prawn crackers with our meal either (as we spent over £10) will not buy from here again. Disappointing. 😕

It is a cross between a Chinese and a chip shop. We ordered Chinese. The meat was tough and unpleasant, wouldn't go again.

Me and the family had a fantastic meal delivered today 5*

I've been going to Jade Garden for the past 21 years+ I have always found the quality of the food 'Excellent ' the staff are polite and helpful (ok you may get a newcomer that comes and goes) but 99.9% of the time are very good. The quantity you get is very good. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Chinese I don't get through 70% of the time so order an Indian instead 🤣

Nice food and very good portions,well priced too.

Food was lovely and the price very good 👍 they accept cards so didn't have to go to a cashpoint.

If you haven't been there, then you should try it out

Thought we would try this Chinese so ordered a takeaway …really wish we hadn’t.. The chow mien was bland and just full of strips of half cooked onions…supposed to be chicken…found about 5 tiny squares of chicken …no pieces of recognisable chicken to be found !, The curry was watery and tasteless …ribs very few and burnt more fat than meat …prawn dish could have been the saving grace but few prawns soaked in an awful tasting sauce… Rang to complain and was told to bring it back there and then …would not allow me to return it the next day for whatever reason?? Very rare we would throw a Chinese takeaway in the bin ….believe me my friends can eat but this food was vile !! Never again…ended up ordering an Indian … Don’t waste your money…Years ago I remember the food was lovely when the older Chinese couple ran it for years…Obviously changed hands but cannot cook edible food …Cheap ingredients, small portions , keep well away … Unbelievably BAD !!!!!

I always order from here always stunning food and delivery is always on time

Brilliant chow mein pancake rolls curry sauce very good really nice and hot best chinese in cwmbran try it you won't be disappointed

Chips mediocre chicken chow menu delicious so was the curry sauce and the king prawns but the beef in the black bean sauce was tough as leather rice good 😀

Best Chinese takeaway in BOTH Newport and Cwmbran. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Friendly staff and delicious food, would highly recommend

Lovely Chinese takeaway food is fresh and very tasty, English meals as well 👍🏻

Food is always ace, so is service. Will struggle to get through on phone just because of how busy it is.

Nice phone manner great staff and good portion sizes always recommend 👍🏻

Always beautiful Good food and good service

Lovely food, consistent, and staff are very friendly! Adhering to distancing measures very strictly

Always had great food from there and the staff are always kind and helpful

Excellent food friendly staff highly recommend

Easily the best Chinese I've ever had. The whole family was impressed. Delicious food, fast delivery and good prices too. My new regular take away.

You'll always Get a great Take away from here. Many Thanks.

Fabulous meal, all hot,scrummy and plenty of it , highly recommend and will defo be ordering again . Thank you

Fantastic chips here! Made a cold winters day walk bearable for the kids (We walked past at lunctime)

Excellent food fresh great taste

Lovely, food I would recommend 👍

The service was exceptional and the food was served fairly quickly and was hot and full of flavour. Fantastic prices also

It wasnt as nice as everybody made out. Its a 3rd option if the others are closed

Ordered beef chow mein lastnight and was only 2 pieces of beef in it feels like I should of just ordered a plain chow mein

Rubbish.. no meat over 5 dishes.. more meat from one dish from any other takeaway. Complete ripoff..food ok but absolutely no meat.. three pieces of chicken in fried rice is not accetable and the other 4 dishes were the same... will go elsewhere next time.

Small chinese takeaway, Very good food,at very reasonable prices and excellent portions. It is always clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

A great Chinese takeaway always a lovely meal super fresh with a large selection of lunchtime specials... l really can fault it and can only highly recommend it...you give it a try

Had a meal before xmas was fabulous. But tonight awful. Chicken chow main .just bland noodles with small amount of onion and spot the chicken ( dont call that chow main) So sorry wont be coming back

I don't hate this place. I enjoy the meal I get from here.

I used to have one every week until my husband decided to try somewhere else so I come when i can,I love their food,Ive tried other takeaways but they are still no 1 for me.

Not been for a while. Was an okay place.

Best Chinese takeaway in cwmbran, reasonably priced

went here becuase to try somewhere new, what a differance in food. The food is fantastic and the quality is perfect, will be getting food from here from now on.

Fab place to get a takeaway they also do Gluten free anything you ask for they can do an alternative in GF. Brilliant.

Very goooood fooood reasonabley priced.

Ok food but pretty expensive compared 2 local Chinese in the area... small portions for a chinese

I visited recently on a recommendation from a family member. I found the place to be very clean and well kept. The staff were well presented, polite and friendly. The food was excellent and portion size was very good. I placed quite a large order which took less then 15 minutes to cook and was piping hot. I think this has just become my new favourite Chinese take away. I must mention that they do a range of non Chinese food too, jumbo sausages, sausage in batter etc.

As per usual the food was out of this world

Lush food came on time tasted amazing 🤩

Only ever have Chinese food here and it's lovely

I tried ringing to order food to either have delivered or collection but could not get an answer so presumed they were very busy.Instead I drive down & there was only one other customer! I know they do a lot of deliveries but someone could of answered the phone!We have been having Chinese takeaways from here for many years now the food is always pretty good.The staff are friendly & usually helpful although we had previously been told be staff the chicken in black pepper was gluten free when I ordered tonight & mentioned it being gf the member of staff informed me it was not gf at all & she went to check with the cook who came out & told me it wasn’t because it was made with oyster sauce he did however offer to make it without oyster sauce & said it wouldn’t taste the same. My husband who has coliacs disease decided to give it a go.He actually thought it was very good & tasted just as good as the original recipe.It is very bad for someone who suffers from Coliac to eat something which contains gluten & makes suffers very ill if they do it is not a fad, some people choose to not eat gluten but Coliacs have no choice it is or should been very important that staff are aware of the items on your menu which do not contain gluten.Coliacs disease is more common now as well as people choosing not to eat gluten so having a trusted takeaway or restaurant is going to be needed even more in the future and you will be surprised how many people will go out of their way to go to a venue which can offer this.As I say this is a good takeaway with a good hygiene rating friendly staff & im sure if you ask their advice they will be happy to help

Curry sauce n chips stunning. Gravy???? Watery brown tasteless liquid....

Love this, staff are lovely and very helpful

Best Chinese around, they have THE best chips in Cwmbran.. and being able to have Chinese food with them is just on another level. They lose a star for not being on Just Eat, or having more than 1 phone..

Not the best. Bland rice and chow mein dishes

I stopped using this chinese a few months ago as the amount of times we had blonde hair in the chips and the food started getting terrible. On friday I thought I would try the chinese again but I don't think I will be using this chinese again after I was missing the prawn crackers and the sweet and sour sauce had a very strong taste of garlic. I ordered 2 sweet and sour chicken balls, 2 chips and 1 prawn crackers at the total cost of £15.20 but on the menu price it should have came to £15 so could you tell me what the extra 20 pence is for?. When the food came from the kitchen the older women went to do my chips but she said there wasn't enough so she left my food on the side instead of placing it in the warmer but when another girl came from the kitchen she took over my order and when she knew we was waiting for chips she put my food in the warmer

Best chinese in town. Good service and delicious food. Never go anywhere else. Try it. You won't be sorry.

We ordered our food over the phone and asked for it to be deliveredThe food was delivered quite quickly and turned up nice and hotThe food itself was very good and very tasty, great portion sizes tooPrices were not too bad and were about average for other takeaways in Cwmbran Really liked our food and would certainly use this place again when we want another take away

Again another good Chinese from Jade Garden food and service just keeps getting better...... Thank You

Very nice food but didn't put a notice about going on holiday... waited outside, called throughout the week, and kept being put on "line busy" waited for the hairdressser next door to tell us they're gone

Fab food and very competitive prices. Little or no queueing when ordering and the service is very prompt. Staff always polite and cheerful 😀 Keep up the good work Jade Garden 👍

I have never had a bad meal there

Called in for a takeaway for 6 people. Shop was busy, but the food was cooked pretty quick and was really good.

Just thank you for coming out delivering in snow! Saved us from going without meal after holiday! Well done

We have returned to Jade Garden as the food has improved a lot. The chips are now lovely, and the chow mein is no longer too salty. We have had three meals from Jade Garden in the last Month and we have enjoyed all of them.

Loved the food and very helpful staff, thanks Jade Garden

Its fair to say iv sampled every chinese in cwmbran and this is definatley the best one. Always piping hot food and tasty never been disappointed
