JADE GARDEN - CLIFTON , KARACHI


The first among the first as far as Chinese restaurant’s are concerned. Jade Garden opened its doors to us Karachites about 15 years ago. Recently though it has been renovated from top to bottom and has reopened to much acclaim.The ambiance is very under the sea with wall to wall built in aquariums and a dim interior. It has an excellent menu of many Chinese varieties with some signature dishes as well. Last time i was there we started off with hot prawn crackers and Thai soup, which is basically a watery blend of lemon and herbs with delicious chunks of chicken mixed in. The owner recommended the schezuan chicken for the main course and he was not far off the mark, it was crunchy it was sizzling and it was gorgeous to look at as well as eat. We also tried the chicken veggy rolls and Mongolian beef with fried rice which were both quite delicious. However to me the best dish was still the old “Manchurian chicken” a fan favorite with Chinese restaurants here in Karachi, no one does this dish better than Jade Garden. As soon as i bit into the first spoonful i was transported back to the days of my teenage hood when we used to pool our money to be able to eat here.

When visiting Karachi or just going out here, do not forget to stop here from time to time, your wallet and taste buds will thank you.
