This is a small chain of restaurants, clean, tasty, very popular and busy tho with a fast turnaround so worth waiting. I have been several times and can recommend the dishes; my favourites, in particular, the Xiao Long Bao, Dan dan Mian, Zha Man Tou, but everything is tasty! You can find them at Hong Kong Airport, at IFC, Wanchai... More

I was amazed at the crowd that go for lunch at the IFC Mall at Central for a Tuesday. We wanted a taste of Cantonese food so we opted for Crystal Jade. We arrived at the restaurant at 12:30 and we were met by a hungry crowd waiting around the restaurant. We were given a number, 129, and they were... More

Layout and deco are styled with one thing in mind only - how to squeeze as many eaters into the place as possible. However a Chinese restaurant of this type has to be loud and crowded. The dumplings are to die for. You can watch how they are freshly made in the kitchen from the mall and their quality is... More

I've made it a habit to eat at Crystal Jade at least 3-4 times on each of my short visits. The Xiao Long Bao are THE most delicious I've ever had. I also tried the wontons in chilli sauce, the la mien with pork and black fungus and they were also divine. So great are the xiao long bao here,... More

we had something very similar to this at Joe's ginger in NYC. It's on the second level of the shopping center (at the end of the walk way if you're going over to central from Kowloon. Reasonable pricing, friendly service, clean, bright, and food that reflected freshness and great flavor. The food is good and the restaurant is very popular... More

Crystal Jade is a chain serving up Shanghai style food in a semi-upscale atmosphere. The IFC location is very convenient, centrally located, and good for a meal after you drop off your luggage at the in-town airport check-in on the lower level before heading off for the airport. It is a busy restaurant, but single diners have a special long... More

This is a mini chain which is a great choice for a simple lunch or dinner. They offer a lot of dumpling and noodle choices at a very good price. I loved the shanghai "soup" dumplings, in which the dumplings are filled with soup and explode in your mouth. mmmm. the decor is simple and straightforward, as is the service.... More

Pick a number and while you wait, be sure and check out the visible kitchen. There are several spots in this chain, but the IFC Mall spot is central and great. In addition to perfect xiao long bao, try the Shangahi shengjian, juice and wontons. Even the cold apps, like black and white fungus are great. Enjoy!

Wonderful Xiao Long Bao and Kung Pao Chicken! We've waited 30 mins to be seated and took some time to be attended to. Service was what disturbed me most. Still wondering if the xiao long bao and kung pao chicken good enough to bring us back once more.
