Chinatown can be a little intimidating – even for regular visitors. With so much choice at your fingertips, how can you guarantee you've chosen the right venue?

If it's dim sum you're after, Crystal Jade is a reliable choice. Situated smack-bang in the middle of the main Chinatown action on Little Bourke Street, Crystal Jade's yum cha service is an affordable and authentic experience (even down to the somewhat rushed service).

When an extensive menu threatens to overwhelm, a venue's signature dish is usually a safe bet — in this case, it's the snow crab with foie gras.
