this is one of the best dim sum places in shanghai. a bit pricy but sometimes you gotta shell out some dough to get the good stuff. but please keep in mind, this cannot compete to those places in HK, but its not that far behind.

Definitely quality meats, excellent handmade noodles, desserts, soups. Just some inconsistency with a few favourite dishes from time to time.

Being Singaporean Cantonese (and that means being extremely picky when it comes to good chinese cuisine), THIS is the holy grail for all discerning lovers of chinese food.
The soup is the BEST in town and for especially on days when you feel a cold coming on, pop over to Crystal Jade, order any of the nutritious soups on the menu and you'll be raring to go the next day. I promise :)

Being Cantonese, I love dim sum! I haven't had a chance to have their dim sum yet but I've had dinner here before and it was fantastic.

You'll be hard pressed to find better dim sum in Shanghai. I always head to the one in the basement of HK New World Plaza on Huaihai lu, never crowded there (ever). I agree that the la-mian could be better (too soft, might contain egg as it's a little rich) but havn't tried the S'pore version. The one with red wine braised oxtail is tasty.
Overall quite good Canto dim sum; cheung fan, har gow, wu gok, all the standards you love, and the congee is very good, with quite a few choices. Also a page of Shanghai-style dim sum; xiao long bao, sheng jian man tou, and those flaky radish pastries that always scald my mouth.
The one thing I find inexcusable is the use of boiled Shanghai tapwater for the tea; if I want to suck on mud I'll do so on my own time and at my own expense, and for the prices they're charging come on. An egregious oversight on the managements part, don't know if the water is the same in the other CJs in Shanghai.

This is the benchmark place to go for dim sum and hong kong-styled cantonese food. The la-mian isn't as good as their stores in Singapore. For lunch, the prawn rice soup is excellent though it looks like a lobster in the picture... Dinner is also excellent and the service is always attentive. The problem is the popularity of the place and getting a table isn't easy. The price is reasonable.

I always love Crystal Jade, it's been on my top 3 dim sum place for years. But recently I made a reservation for 6:30pm and they took it. I arrived with my 2 other friends. The receptionist told me that there is some emergency problems in the kitchen and they cannot have us eating there. I was very upset. The restaurant never called us to cancel the reservation. So we went to Ding Tai Feng. I dont know if there is any manager in Crytal Jade to handle customer service. I can understand that emergency problems happens from time to time in a restaurant but the least you can do is to call and to inform the customers.
