Crystal Jade Restaurant

Overview

Chinatown can be a little imitating - 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-banging 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.

Dumplings include classics such as ginger prawn along traditional staples like chicken feet, beef ripe and beef offals, while the BBQ pork rice noodles make the perfect compliment. Finish up with some crab meat fried rice and a healthy serve of pork liver congee.
