Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao - 01-70 Lor 6 Toa Payoh

Not worth the $82 for 2 pax for the Xiao Long Bao buffet b'cos they took a long time to serve only 2 trays (6 pcs each tray) per order. What kind of buffet that set such ordering limit? You have to keep chasing "what's happening to my XLB?". It looks like they prefer that you filled your stomach with their 2 complementary bowls of la mien and a side dish which you are not allow reject. After long waiting in between orders, you begin to feel full and your marginal utility drop drastically and hence lost appetite for more XLB. So be careful not to fall for this type of promotional gimmick which wasn't sincere at all. Writing them off after this bad experience. Sigh !!!

Food is great. Love the si-chuan cold noodle with chicken. Really delicious & my family enjoyed it. Fried rice was average. Oh yes.. and XLB was nice.

Good and prompt service. They have a digital queue system so you can get a number first and they will ring you when ready. Very convenient and great innovation to handle during peak hours.

I used to visit this place but haven’t been back in a while. Decided to have lunch here. The soup for Dan Dan mian was way too thick, and spicy too. Don’t mind the spiciness, but the soup was a too “jelak”. Order the fried duck, it was good. But portion is too small for the price I feel. The salted egg custard bao was the best dish we had. Hence the 3 stars.

Didn't know expect to have authentic Sichuan food from crystal jade. Highly recommend the Chong Qing Pickled Mustard Grilled Fish and the Chong Qing La Mian. Shiok! The sweet potato pastry is not too sweet.

Great Northern Chinese cuisine! Crystal Jade is a well-known chain in Singapore and the Toa Payoh branch lives up to expectations. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was tasty and fresh. A guarantee.

Love coming here to chill with the family because it’s spacious and quiet, away from the crowd especially on weekends. First time trying the la mian with chilled poached chicken Szechuan style and it’s good! Everything blend well together, have it with steamed dumplings and you have a complete meal. The kids meal comes with a generous portion and the prawn dumplings are filled with meat fillings and prawns. Sweet potato bun is beautiful to look at and sweet too, not my kids favourite but I like it ?? Kids meal comes with a free drink too :)

We've been patronising Crystal Jade since they started and through the years they have expanded and grew more outlets. Different outlet's chefs perform differently hence we have favourite outlets. Our first choice used to be at Holland Village. Another favourite haunt is the one at Ngee Ann City. Recently, we've been ordering from their Toa Payoh outlet for home delivery. Although the experience is not as good as in-house dining, the convenience and quality of the takeout more than makes up for it. My grandchildren love their beef so we usually order 2 portions. Another favourite dish we would order in twos is the four season beans. The lion head meatball stew is delicious but I prefer a more meaty bite. I find them a little mushy for my taste but perhaps the young children and older folks may like it that way. The tofu stew is also very delicious. I appreciate that they pack the sweet and sour fish sauce separately from the fried fish. Overall, we are happy with our delivered meals and will continue to order from this outlet.
