Jade Palace

The food wasn't bad but wasn't great either. I would say it's pretty standard "Chinese" food. What annoyed me was that it seemed expensive- my lunch special cost $8.95. Also, it seemed a little shady, like they charge whatever they feel like charging because they don't give receipts and the menu listed the lunch specials as $7.47. Anyway, I founf another place nearby today (China Shack)that has lunch specials for $6.00 (total) and I will be ordering from there from now on. The food is exactly the same quality and I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off.

I'm working out of a different office today in Little Village- and looking forward to some good Mexican for lunch- I was disappointed (but not too surprised) to hear that the normal staff her is sick of eating Mexican every day of the week for lunch- so they choose this place- which is only about 2 blocks away.

The staff in the office today is busy (and lazy) and calls up a good size order for delivery and is informed that they have recently doubled their delivery charge because, in the words of the woman over the phone: "these PEOPLE around here are too poor to tip properly." We didn't ask why the delivery charge was doubled- nor did we really want her to go out of her way to make a social critique on the fine people of this area- but we ordered anyway but with a quick change: pickup.

Food was even below your standard crappy Chinese takeout quality and the price was above that standard level as well.

Jade Palace- just want you to know that it is OK to make a business decision to up your delivery charge. Just don't share WHY with anyone else that calls in- for that would not be a wise business decision.
