Been here a couple of times and food has been consistently good. Love that the restaurant seats are comfy + service is also good 👍🏻 But today I tried the signature dongpo pork belly and it has a smelly pork smell :(( will advice to skip it. 👎🏻 Most of the other items I’ve tried so far are all good - eg fried rice, sweet and sour fish fillet, sautéed prawn w Korean citron mayo, sautéed egg white with fish meat, la mian with scallion oil, XLB. ☺️

The food here wasn’t what I expected, the fried rice was good got the wok hey paired with the fish bilis. The chongqing noodles was a bit too spicy and oily tho in my opinion, and the chicken wasn’t that tender and juicy. The pancake was normal too, average starter. Love their stir fry vege and the duck, the duck don’t got the meat smell and it was fried perfectly paired with the sweet egg pancake. The vege was good by the generous ingredients.

Pretty poor quality for the chilli crab xiaolongbao, you can get better from din tai fung. Their crispy duck with crepe is soft and limp and not crispy at all, one of the worst renditions I have had. The 賽螃蟹 is above average but not remarkable. The best dish was the spicy Szechuan chicken, crispy and not overly spicy while retaining the flavours associated with the dish. Money is better spent on their other outlets like Crystal Jade Kitchen, Crystal Jade Golden Palace or Crystal Jade Palace.

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is a hidden gem in Bugis Junction! The food was absolutely simple yet amazing! Every dish was packed with flavour and well prepared. Their truffle xiao long bao was nothing like any other I’ve tried -perfectly delicate, rich, and bursting with a truffle-infused broth. On top of that, the service was sensational -attentive, friendly, and efficient. If you’re ever in Bugis Junction, this spot is highly recommended for a great dining experience!

Tried their healthy claypot rice, spicy steamed chicken, spicy fried chicken and shredded cabbage. All were nicely done and quite enjoyable. The flavours were well balanced, but portions were a bit smaller as compared to those served at Sichuan restaurants. I found the xiao long bao a bit average as the broth and filling didn’t quite stand out. Still, a good option if you’re looking for a satisfying Chinese meal with good service and environment.

We came here for xiao long bao. As it was close to Lunar New Year, we also tried the Yusheng (Loi Hei). The ingredients in the Yusheng were a little different from the usual; it was half like a fruit salad but very tasty. It had good portions of salmon and was definitely sufficient for 3-4 persons for a small size. It was also pricey, likely due to its availability during CNY. Service was good, and our tea was also topped up when needed. We would definitely return for other dishes.

Had an early lunch, there was no queue then. A paper menu was available, with easy online ordering. The xiao long bao didn't disappoint; I enjoyed the chilli crab and original versions. The signature Sichuan lamian was spicy.

Ordered three items, but ultimately suffered from food poisoning. Reported to SFA and will never come back to this outlet.

Came here with my wife's family. You download the menu to order. The food dishes come out very quickly. The food is delicious. Very friendly staff.

I was there for lunch. There were a few people in the queue, but we were seated quickly. The food portions were not huge, and it was just nice. The taste was good.
