Honestly,
I
was
a
bit
nervous
about
this
place.
Reviews
were
only
so
so.
I
was
boating
with
my
family
at
nearby
Hyrum
reservoir.
We
asked
the
park
ranger
what
she
thought.
She
did
not
want
to
say
anything
bad
about
a
local
place,
but
was
a
bit
hesitant
to
give
a
recommendation.
Our
only
other
non-fast
food
choice
nearby
was
a
Mexican
restaurant,
also
an
unknown,
and
we
were
more
in
the
mood
for
Chinese.
As
we
drove
up,
the
building
did
not
inspire
confidence.
When
we
entered
about
7:30
on
a
Wednesday,
we
were
the
only
customers.
We
grabbed
our
own
menus
and
seated
ourselves
down
at
a
not-very-comfortable
table.
The
only
two
employees
started
to
serve
us,
but
I
began
to
think
that
we
should
have
gone
to
McDonalds.
That
would
have
been
a
big
mistake.
Our
order
was
taken
quickly.
There
were
six
of
us,
and
we
ordered
soup,
appetizers
and
and
six
entrees
to
share.
Everything
was
excellent.
Portions
were
generous.
Everything
was
hot
and
cooked
fresh
to
order.
Crab
cheese
wontons
were
a
highlight.
Chicken
dishes
(sweet
and
sour,
orange)
were
lightly
breaded,
moist
and
sauces
were
not
heavy.
I
am
typically
not
a
fan
of
sweet
and
sour
pork,
as
it
is
usually
dry
and
chewy,
but
my
father
likes
it.
This
dish
had
big
tender
chunks,
also
lightly
breaded.
Happy
family
was
savory
and
both
the
meats
and
vegetables
were
perfectly
cooked.
Pork
fried
rice
often
has
just
small
bits
of
port.
The
rice
was
perfectly
cooked
and
seasoned,
eggs
and
vegetables
were
generous,
but
the
pork
was
over
the
top.
Lots
of
big
pieces
of
thinly
sliced
char
shu.
Price
was
very
reasonable.
Our
party
of
six
left
stuffed
and
with
left-overs
for
under
$100.
($120
with
tip)
Overall,
the
Golden
Jade
was
shockingly
good
and
dramatically
exceeded
my
expectations.
I
will
definitely
return
when
I
am
in
the
area.
