Great food and fantastic service! What more could you need? We found the food to be less oily than a Chinese meal often is, and fresher. The service was attentive but not intrusive. We will be back.

My brother who is a regulars patron, took me to the jade fountain, he told me it was the best Chinese food he had ever eaten. We ordered a variety of meals, beef, pork and also duck, accompanied by fried noodles, crispy noodles and egg fried rice.The food was delightful in every way. Lightly and delicately cooked, perfectly flavoured a joy to eat. So I can confirm my brother’s opinion. Also the service was attentive but discreet in a friendly relaxing atmosphere.- Service

What a lovely restaurant - especially so if you have to have a gluten free diet.
TLDR: A great dining experience, nice atmosphere, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable owners & staff, extensive menu including large choice of Gluten Free dishes and an all-you-can-eat option.
I visited Jade Fountain one Friday evening with a group of 8 friends because we'd heard about the all-you-can-eat tasting menu and wanted to check it out. We were accommodated on a large round table with a lazy Susan, and unable to decide what to order, we asked the owners to help us decide - and they didn't disappoint! We were treated to a good array of starters, of which the ribs were the highlight. We ordered a second helping and I ate more than my fair share - only right as I couldn't have a few of the other gluten-containing starters.
Duck pancakes followed the starters - a simple lettuce leaf substituted for the gluten-containing wraps for me, along with a special plum sauce which also lacked the devil's wheat-based protein. Delicious.
We then got onto the main course - a choice of different rices and noodles and a large variety of meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. Each individual dish is fairly modestly-sized which is great because you can try a big variety without over-ordering. The owners and servers enthusiastically encouraged us to try lots of different things - all cooked to order.
We managed to pace ourselves and only ordered what we could eat and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening - I think we stayed until long after closing time - as we didn't notice the time passing. The owners and staff were very kind to us and really enhanced the meal.
The final bill was around £48 per person which includes a lot of drinks and a well-deserved 12.5% tip. We will definitely be back!- Parking
- You can park for three hours in the Co Op car park over the road, or on the street (after 6pm) and also nearby on the village streets.

Returned here as the tasting menu is AWESOME!
Excellently cooked food, reasonably priced and friendly service.
Super recommend the starters number 2 & 3 (ribs and satay chicken!).
Personally I can have trouble eating out, as starchy carbs (think rice, potatoes & noodles) my guts have issues with. But thanks to the tasting menu I can order exactly what I love, so beansprouts veggies and all the tasty meat dishes!
They truely are super tasty!- Food

Actually really nice. Came across it by chance when staying over night for a work commitment. They do a 'tastwr menu' £22 and it's basically all you can wait for the majority of the menu (just slightly smaller portions understandably)
But it turned out to be amazing food. Tasted very good quality and the staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive.
I recommend anyone in the area to come try this place out too. It would make a great work meal.- Service

We have been looking for a good Chinese since moving here. We have finally found it . The food is absolutely delicious, the flavours are unreal and not at all greasy . Eric and his staff are so friendly and help with the menu so that they find your perfect dish . Tried the rest now found the best . And we will be back .
We have been to the restaurant a number of times. The food is excellent and we particularly like the taster menu which has loads of choice. We always receive a warm welcome and the service is good.

They offer the main menu, along with a taster menu (basically order what you like for £24-26pp). There is a huge variety of starters, soups, mains, noodles and crispy duck is included.
Focusing on the gluten free menu - i had a choice of two full pages and every dish was a standout. There was not a single thing I could complain about.
We had duck, crispy lamb, five spice prawns and ribs to start. You get a great portion size, even on the tasting menu and the wait wasnt long but enough to know its all being cooked to order.
Every starter was delicious, crispy, and the prawns were so good!
Mains were beef in black bean, king prawns with Chinese veg, kung pao chicken....what a delight. Loads of beef, loads of prawns and both my husband and I were so happy with it all.
Finally a huge shout out for making a rice noodle chow mein GF which tasted just like the real thing.. I could have cried. It was sweet, smoky, that perfect char and so good I ate it all to myself (no shame!)
This restaurant needs to be full every night its so good! Please go and don't let this great restaurant (offering a huge GF menu) go to waste!- Service

- Amazing for gluten free Really understood what was safe and where adaptations could be made. Usually im extremely sensitive and I had no reaction at all, which shows they really take care with gluten free. It also tastes incredible

A warm welcome awaits with genuinely friendly staff. The menu is excellent with many choices. I was particularly impressed to see all the allergies clearly laid out and which dishes concerned. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Our family enjoyed the meal and left only clean plates which is the sign of a tasty meal. Would recommend Jade Fountain to visitors staying in the area.

Have come really late at night, half 10 pm , tired after a long drive from A'dam and eaten probably the best Chinese food ever, freshly prepared, tasty, with a touch of friendly banter. Highly recommend the food and a chat with the owners.
