For more than 50 years Jade Palace has been a fixture in the Newark community, serving chow mein and Mongolian beef to lifetime regulars and celebrities like rock musician Greg Kihn and pro wrestler Alexis Smirnoff. But that legacy is ending on December 21 when the restaurant in the Old Town Center shuts its doors for good. The family that runs Jade Palace is calling it quits following the death of family patriarch and restaurant founder, Edwin Yee Wing Lee, last winter. “My dad fell and had a hemorrhage and eventually bled to death. He fought for a whole month in the hospital but did not make it,” says Phillip Lee, who's been running the restaurant ever since with family members. “My dad, he was going to be 90 pretty soon, but he was still the Energizer Bunny. He was one of those kinds of guys who lived to work – for 50 odd years, he'd been working here every single day.”
