I like the buns and the sticky rice is a lot even though I thought it was little from the way it looks. Highly recommend for breakfast and brunch.

Really great service!

It's express style dimsum. Really convenient for rake out in early morning. I got multiple items and they are delicious. Shrimp dumpling and the pork soup dumpling, a little long wait but worth it, very juicy

The wood laminate table was well worn and sticky. The well embedded oily element set the stage for my meal. There were a number of items unavailable, which increased the general disappointment as the menu is relatively limited for a place which bills itself as a dim sum establishment.

As the dumpling craze is in full bloom, it has been my experience that the overall quality of these smaller, independent establishments can be dicey.

The spicy won tons had a grainy texture and the stuffing was devoid of flavor. The pork buns were marginally better but the stuffing was meager and they had been steamed too long, so they were peeling like skin after a sunburn. The chicken bun was the opposite - quite doughy, but chicken texture and flavors were muddy. The best item was the pork and shrimp dumplings, which were tightly stuffed and brimming with sweet shrimp flavor.

Limited counter service. Regrettably, the quality is way below that of the Google reviews. I can’t recommend this place as much as I would like to. I was the only customer at the time of my visit.

We ordered shrimp dumplings, pork shumai, shrimp in rice wrapper, pork bun, chicken feet, and salted egg bun. Everything is delicious! It was really good. We even ordered to go spicy wontons and fried rice, and ate everything for lunch.
The salted egg bun is only available during weekends, and we're lucky we came when it was available.
We're definitely coming back to this place.

Absolutely delicious! MUST try dishes are the shrimp rice noodles, the pork soup dumplings (TOTALLY worth the 20 minute wait) and the custard buns. Everything was made FRESH. We have been eating Dim Sum for over 40+ years, and can vouch this place is legit!

A pretty disappointing place considering the price point that they charge, we got the impression online that it would be a restaurant, it’s more of a take out place.

The menu is limited and sparse, the shrimp noodle was not smooth as it normally should be and bland. The siu Mai was maybe the best thing we had there but I could have done better at home.

It’s a place for a quick swing by and order but I do not recommend it.

Horrible experience. Rude and unfriendly. With no customer there keep us waiting over 15 minutes. What a waste run business there.

Travelled out of state just for their green Thai tea! Had it last year and it was too good not to get again. Natalie helped us a lot, she definitely deserves a raise!

If you’re in the mood for some legit dumplings at a great price, Crystal Dumpling delivers. You order at the counter and wait for your food, which is super chill once you figure out how the setup works, it’s a bit confusing when you first walk in.

The food? Solid. Authentic flavors that hit the spot. Their milk tea and iced tea are great, too. That said, everything comes in plastic to-go containers, which feels a little excessive. I get it, it’s convenient, but I’d love to see the owners consider more sustainable options.

Now, about the chili oil. I ordered the wontons chili oil, and they were good, but the portion of chili oil was tiny. Like, enough for one or two dips, and it’s gone. When I asked for more, I had to pay extra. I don’t mind paying, but c’mon, it’s wontons in chili oil, make it generous! On the upside, the staff is friendly, so no complaints there.
