Jardine de Tang

Jardine de Tang

Usually I would not write up a Chinese buffet restaurant but this journal is all about low cost options and since the Jardine de Tang is located right next door to the Super 8 it was a natural choice for us to try. We had seen the lines snaking out the door on Sunday evening and the overflowing parking lot all evening and admittedly it tweaked our curiosity.

Monday evening we arrived at about 6pm and if the parking lot was not as overflowing as Sunday night, when by the way they offer a more expensive option with a cocktail included, it was still amazingly busy. Keep in mind that there are abundant dining choices in this area so there has to be a good reason why this place is so busy.

There is, this is a very high class Chinese buffet in a very attractive restaurant. If salad is your choice there is an entire salad bar with greens, fruit salad, potato salad, olives and pickles, cold shrimp, sliced melon, and lots more.

The soup bar had 4 choices including cream of chicken and wonton soup. There are two double sided bars that offer a variety of Chinese and American dining options. Since the three of us have very different tastes our plates looked quite different. I chose green beans, General Taos chicken, fried shrimp, mussels, vegetable lo mein and Parmesan squares (these were addictive and were like a mozzarella stick but Parmesan).

Brandon had French fries, sweet and sour chicken and pizza. Al had cold shrimp, beef and mushrooms, chicken legs, roasted pork, teriyaki chicken and onion rings. The dessert bar was the largest I have ever seen. It had bread pudding, jello, four flavors of ice cream, at least 6 kinds of cake, little pies, cookies and fruit. I tried banana cake, carrot cake and maple cake and strawberry ice cream. Relax, the pieces were tiny and it was more of a sampler than a pig out. Al went for the bread pudding and the cookies.

Service was excellent. Our meals also included for Al & I either coffee or tea and for Brandon a soda. Our water glasses were kept full and we both got a refill on our coffee. Our dirty plates were also removed immediately.

Not only was the selection quite excellent, some things we didn’t try were the fried pate, salmon, fried rice and other fish dishes, but the quality of everything we did try was very high. I was impressed with how fresh everything was and how every clean it was. Now as far as bargain it was $37 for the three of us to eat our fill. Not fast food price but certainly given the quality and quantity of food a fair deal.

If you don’t want the buffet they also have a menu that you can order from.
