Jade Kingdom

Haven’t been to this place for years and this is the final weekend before they close until early 2024. It was very busy but the kitchen coped it well, food came reasonably quick after ordering. Great service too. Highlight for me was the Hokkien Mee. Still the best I had in Melbourne. Other dishes were average, the marmite pork spare ribs could have been better, the bones were big and meat was quite tough. Anyway, will always be back for the hokkien mee.

Great little local spot, delivering authentic Malaysian favourites like Char Hor Fun, Char Kway Teow and Laksa just to name a few. Small and cosy with some big and small tables to cater for different sized groups be warned very popular on the weekends so booking is a must if you are planning to have dinner here. Takeaway also very easy and painless if you simply want to take home as well. Parking can be a little tough but there is plenty of side streets around to park if needed. *Update* 3 years on from my initial visit this place is still killing it. With the same high level of quality and high value for money meals Jade Kingdom still remains one of the best in Preston. Standout dish was definately the Buddha Yam Basket with Cashew Chicken which reminded me of my parents favourite dish to order in Malaysia every big family meal out.

Quality and taste. I'm amazed, really love this Malaysian restaurant I visited tonight. To be honest, the food is amazing! When I first went to this restaurant. It was something I became obsessed with. This night was beautiful they had the best seafood in the Melbourne area and it was amazing to find such authentic Malaysian dishes that I can enjoy.

Came to try this out cause of the high rating. Food was not terrible but gave me no reason to come back. Similar quality to the $10 takeaway Chinese stalls you see at shopping malls. All dishes were too salty, my friend and I both drank 1 L of water after dinner. I enjoyed the tea most out of the whole dinner😬Its a shame cause the reviews were really promising.

ORDERED: 🥟  Fried Won Ton (10 pieces): $8.00 🍚 Nasi Goreng: Spicy fried rice with long bean, peas, chicken, shrimp and egg ($14.80) 🍜 Hokkien Mee: Thick noodles cooked in a dark soy with prawns, pork, calamari, and cabbage ($15.80) + mixed noodles ($1.00) 🍝  Har Mee: Spicy prawn based soup with yellow noodles, roast pork, prawns, kangkong, bean shoots and a hard-boiled egg ($14.80) 🍌 Banana Fritter: Deep fried banana with ice cream and golden syrup ($7.50) REVIEW: For some quick and affordable food, Jade Kingdom isn't a bad option. There were some disappointing things I'd like to remember for next time... if I were to come back. Namely: 1. Fried wonton sauce came out... pretty much when we finished our wontons. Really ill-timed. 2. The rice in the Nasi Goreng was too soft/moist. It's missing that dry-ness when it comes to fried rice where it can hold its structure. 3. Hokkien Mee with mixed noodles (egg and vermicelli) was not it. Save the dollar and stick with the original egg noodles. 4. Food in general steered towards the salty side. Would rate the banana fritter though! Really hard to get this wrong, but it was great on a hot spring day.
