I rang to book, however was told that they only accept walk-in. Queue was not long, and while waiting, you can look at the menu to order your food. It’s a double-sided menu with English and Chinese on each side which I find it super helpful. Dining in on the first floor, so you had to walk 2 flights of steps, but I see that they have a lift too to cater for people that needs it. Food came out pretty fast, one after the other, and for the price, I would say that their serving size is pretty small. Taste wise, it’s pretty good, except that I don’t quite understand the combination of carrots and scallops in the ‘steamed scallop rice noodle rolls’ as it doesn’t really go well. The dumplings we ordered is dry and doesn’t taste nice. The rest are great. For the price we paid, we could eat 2 lunches elsewhere.
Expensive but good Chinese restaurant in china town. Tried a few dishes I’ve never had before and I must say, I liked all of them. Pork belly with taro was super delicious and the spicy fried tofu was amazing!! Service was friendly and staff was knowledgeable. Atmosphere was a little cold tho.
having lunch here, and they are truly busy but the food serving was pretty quick. we do have an hour only due to the peak hour, but we manage to finish all in an hour. the food taste okay. portion was pretty standard, not particularly huge or small. it not the traditional style where someone pushing a trolley filled with dim sum. kind of disappointing, but all good.
Quick service and the food tasted pretty much as you'd expect for dim sum. They do prawn dishes and rice noodle rolls well. The salted egg buns were rather mushy and the bbq pork pastry was a bit dry, but not too bad.
The food is excellent, but the dealbreaker for some will be the 1 hour dining limit, which some will feel is very short and makes the experience rushed. Lovely decor and spacious room, the toilets unlike other places I’ve seen is very clean and up to OHS standard. This yum cha style is also by paper order instead of the more traditional trolley service, which I prefer.
The service at Crystal Jade is really fast! Once you've placed your order, your food comes out fresh & hot! The food was super tasty. I think this is the best Yum Cha I've had in a long time! The restaurant is well presented, & very clean.
After a high recommendation from a work colleague, finally got to come here. They were very accommodating, as we walked in during the busy lunch hour with no booking. The service was exceptional, but after ordering, everything came out at once, which isn't much of a gripe. Though, the trade of efficiency for the authenticity of the food carts is missed. Plus, we're pushed to consume the dishes while they're at an adequate temperature, yum cha's definitely more enjoyed as a slow burn. The Har Gao and Egg Tarts were easy stand outs.
This 3 stars is for all the staff. They got way too good customer service, we were very comfortable and enjoy the vibe when we dine in here. However the food is overatted and expensive compare to other Chinese Restaurant. Food was just ok nothing stand out from what we had. But the staff make it better !!
Came on Sun. Reservation preferred. Good selection for dim sum. 3 dining slots 60mins. Staff are friendly and food are served hot and quick. Your tea pot is always topped with hot water.
Booked a table online a week back and was led to our table without any fuss! High quality yum cha selections in Melbourne with excellent customer service, attentive, efficient and prompt without feeling rushed! We will be back again to try the other items on the menu.Recommended dishesDim Sum
