Summary: Very nice new monsters that trigger adventure hooks
Comment: First the bad,
If you are looking for more then monsters, tough break, there is nothing but monsters here.
The good,
Though black-and-white, the artwork is very nice and the presented monsters do all have a decent picture. To make life easy on the DM, all monsters have a well enough documented past. Monsters come in all kind of varietys, from CR 1/2 to well over 20. Combining this with the Oriental Adventures book, gives you some great possibilitys.

Summary: Solid Addition to Oriental Monsters
Comment: Green Ronin hasn't disappointed me yet. This is a collection of creatures that haven't been done to death, and that are fun to play. I like the dragons (there's only two, and one is very different from the traditional, European dragon). I like the mechanics (new twists on the undead, on spirits, and on "friendly" monsters), and the good/bad ratio of the art is about 75% good to 25% bad. Better than a lot of d20 game stuff.
It's a decent mix of aggressive, friendly, city and wilderness creatures. It includes two gods (the Monkey King, and the Ryushin, the Dragon God), both of them usable as patrons or sponsors for expeditions. Finally, it presents one new PC race (the tanuki, sort of a Drunken Monkey type, but it's more like Drunken Badger).
Rating: 3
Summary: Good and bad
Comment: Let's start off with the good:
Some really cool new monsters (mostly undead and shapechangers).
Some really cool artwork.
Now the bad:
Some not very usable (although interesting) monsters.
Some old monsters just redone (zombies, giants, dryads etc...)
Some really bad artwork.
Too many dragons (yes I realize that "Jade Dragons" is part of the title, but my characters just don't fight that many dragons)
I would suggest this for anyone running an oriental campaign setting. But if you're just looking for new monsters, it may not be worth it.
