Area Violation Descriptions

Area A Violations Foods being held at improper temperatures or not being cooked properly. When food is not held at a proper temperature (less than 45 °F for foods being held cold, or more than 140°F for foods being kept hot) bacteria can grow in the food and make you sick. It is also important that food is cooled down quickly when it is refrigerated, and that it is reheated to at least 165°F before serving.
Area B Violations Equipment must be cleaned and sanitized properly to prevent contamination of foods. Violations in this area include improper washing and sanitizing of dishes, pots, pans and surfaces that will come in contact with the food.
Area C Violations Food from an approved source. Establishments serving food to the public must obtain the food they serve from a source that has been inspected and approved
Area D Violations Poor personal hygiene that could lead to contamination of the foods. Food handlers/servers who are ill or who have not properly washed their hands can create a major source of food contamination. Another problem covered under this area is restroom or hand washing facilities that are not properly functioning or accessible to employees.
Area E Violations Other important violations. This area includes violations that could create a high risk of food contamination and foodborne illness if allowed to continue. These include improper construction of food contact surfaces, non-approved and / or protected water source, non-approved sewage disposal, presence of pets or pests and proper storage of toxic items so that they will not contaminate the food.

We've visited this restaurant 2 times since moving to the area, and while I don't particularly care for writing negative reviews, I have to tell the truth as I see it.

Our first visit to Jade Horse wasn't bad enough to keep us from visiting a second time; actually, we were undecided about our experience and wanted to see if a second visit would prove to be better or worse.

Initially upon walking into the restaurant, there's an odor that's hard to place; almost a cross between mold/humidity and urine/sewage. Appearance-wise, it 'looks' reasonably clean, but closer look at the carpet and walls shows a need for cleaning. The decor is typical Asian--not over or under done. They have a small Koi pond in the front and lots of seating in the lobby.

All of the staff we've encountered has been very nice, friendly and attentive---eager to you have all you need. Both visits were prefaced with something to the effect of...'the Buffet isn't fully stocked yet, but more will be out soon. If you want something you don't see, let us know'. Which for us, sounded like they tried to keep the Buffet minimally stocked until customers arrived. Both visits we were 1 of 2-4 other customers dining.

The buffet are is large, surrounded by a large amount seating options.

Dining Buffet: Able to accommodate a large amount of dishes. Dishes are labeled nicely but they'll have 3 different egg rolls in one pan, and it's difficult to know which is which without asking. Many of the pans has just a small amount of food in it, which caused it to dry out...with all the sauce stuck to the pan. Gravies and sauces had 'skin' on it and was very gelatinous as if it'd been there a long while. Another major concern that became especially problematic on our 2nd visit, is the tables aren't keeping or set to the right temps. MUCH of the food was room temp--barely warm, which can cause food bourne illness very easily. In fact, both my husband & I became slightly ill after our 2nd visit; it's because of this that we'll never return.

As for flavor...it's hit & miss. On our 2nd visit, what was tasty the first time was inedible the second time.

All in all, I can not in all good conscience recommend this restaurant; not at the risk of anyone getting sick. And while you can order off the menu, I'm concerned that their food handling and holding procedures may be lacking and still pose a risk to some degree.

Having owned a dining establishment myself, I'm well aware of Food Handling Safey regulations and how vital it is to remain consistent and steadfast to maintaining the guidelines for storing, handling and preparing safe food. I also understand that it requires committment and common sense. Basically...If I won't eat it...I won't serve it!
