This is a great place, I eat here often, the noodles are fresh made, the soup is wonderful. There are also many dim sum items that are quite good. My favorite is the spicy noodles w/ minced pork. A great place to take a large party from work or friends.

Crystal Jade is a chain that we ate at in 2 different Crystal Jade locations while in Hong Kong. They seem to be located in nicer malls and are clean, have some staff that speak English, have a large variety menu with pictures and English titles. We like to find reliable, 'safe' restaurants when we travel and Crystal Jade was... More

Great price & tasty food. Just the waiting time could be long. I 've been to the IFC & Time Sq stores. Apart from the famous Xiao Long Bao (steam pork dumping), the noodle (in soup) is really nice. The noodle should be freshly made onsite from scratch (flour) and that's why it is very chewy.

Yummy. I can't get enough of the Xiao Long Bao dumplings or the dumplings in chilli oil or the dumplings with the soup noodles. Delicate flavour, hot and fresh every time. I usually stop at the airport branch as I travel to and from Hong Kong and have noticed the last few times that the quality seems to have dropped... More

One of the few places where you can eat quickly and simply and still enjoy the experience in mall such as IFC. Always fun for my family and a great quick treat after an early visit to the cinema on Sunday morning.

Good food, some counselling might be a bit biased. Charming atmosphere with quick service and a lot of local customers. Try the soups. The menu chart is well displayed and easy to follow, although a photo of every plate would help foreigners.

Chrystal Jade, tucked away in the upper IFC building is well worth searching out. The food is stunning and so good that we ate there 3 times in our recent stay. If , unfortunately you have to queue you have the delight of seeing the chefs making the delicious fresh won tons, which you should always order, in the window... More

The lines are long simply because this is a good restaurant. The lines in Harbor City can be very long around lunchtime so just go there a bit early or after lunch. You would be better off at the Airport, a lot of people but they seat fast. La mien means hot noodles, if you can take really hot then... More

Food is good but you need to know that: - during lunchtime we've waited for a table for ca. 25 minutes; - while seated we've waited for a menu another couple of minutes (we had to ask for it at the end); Overall experience average, but food is good.

Crystal Jade is our favourite restaurant for xiao long bao in the Central/Admiralty area. It's a top value for quality food. Service is quick and efficient. Just be prepared to wait for a table; they don't take reservations. The wait at lunchtime can be especially long: 1/2 hour or more. At IFC mall, queue up for lunch before 11:50. For... More
