Jade Villa is a nice little spot to get some good Chinese food.  The store front is misleading, it looks like a typical take-out/delivery place, but when you give it a chance and go in, you find a nice sit down Chinese restaurant (which is had to find nowadays).  They offer you two menus, a red cover and a white cover.  The white menu is geared to more of an Americanized Chinese taste (General Tao's, Pepper Steak, Sweet and Sour Chicken, ect..).  The red menu is for a Cantonese experience,  a lot of the menu is interesting and you might have to ask the waitress about most of the items.  We have had various items there and have been pleased with our choices.  We went on a Saturday evening with some friends of ours and had no problem finding a table (plenty of tables and a large back room for parties).  The appetizers are just enough to leave your mouth watering for you entree.   They offer plenty of choices and you should have no problem finding a dish to suit your taste.  I recommend the Orange Beef or the Peking Duck (little bit of a wait for the duck but its worth it).  Look forward to trying the "Hotpot" on a future visit.  It is the only "Dim Sum" place in the area.  They offer a limited Dim Sum menu through out the week but they have a full Dim Sum menu on Sundays (11am-3pm), friends have raved about it.  Jade Villa is open late on the weekends and it great for those late night craving.  So if your looking for a little bit of China Town, this is the place for you.
