I live close by to Krystal Vy and I finally decided to give them a try the other week. This is some of the best Chinese food around. The prices are good and the servings are huge and plentiful. I highly recommend give Krystal Vy a try if you’re looking for great tasting Chinese food around Collings Lakes. They currently only do take out. No eat in or delivery but it’s well worth the walk or drive to go get it you will not be disappointed. Also the Egg Rolls are huge some of the biggest ones I’ve ever seen!!

This was our first time ordering food from here it's about a 15-minute drive I would probably give it a 9.5 out of 10My only complaint is we specifically asked for very lite broccoli and the dish was loaded with broccoli and there were no peppers in it. Which my understanding is it's supposed to have peppers in it.My other half's dish had peppers in it and she was under the impression there was only supposed to be carrots in it.So I'm thinking they put peppers in wrong dish.But let me tell you aside from those two issues this was by far the best tasting Chinese food I've ever had anywhere in over 50 years.It was the hottest food I've ever had from any restaurant and you got to figure that was after a 15 minute drive home with it in the air conditioning. This food was so hot I had to let it cool down for 10 minutes to be able to eat it without getting burnt and the food is delicious.By far the world's largest egg roll I've ever seen in my life.The portions are beyond huge.Usually I eat a meal in these to go containers from anyplace else by myself and I'm the type of person that goes to the all-you-can-eat buffet and cleans them out. Well let me tell you this is like a meal for three.Oh and two other great points the food is cheaper and they don't charge you a fee for using a credit card. (Bonus points)So they hit all the points, checked all the boxes, like I said just have to communicate a little better on what vegetables in or out of the dish but other than that I'm stuffed and I've got lunch for the next two days with the leftovers.Thank you for delicious meals.

Fat serving. As far as I know she stopped selling small servings all together. It's a hole in the wall, used to be a restaurant now takeaway only.. since the pandemic. As far as I can tell it's an older lady who runs everything and a husband that stays in the back cooking. Not the cleanest place. If you call and she says 20 minutes you're probably fine to show up in 20 mins. But if she tells you 45 minutes and you get there in 45 minutes, you could be waiting with more people than chairs.. you might be standing for a bit as she pops in and out of the kitchen to answer the phone or ring people up. That's when the regulars try to subtly get her attention, to say "I'm here!", as she runs around frantically in and out of the kitchen. Customers never really complain though because everyone loves the large, inexpensive portions. The food is also pretty good. That is, if you don't mind a bit of salt and the occasional hair in your food. Also, If she likes you, or thinks she made you wait too long, she'll offer you a free ice cold beverage. She's works hard and she's supper nice. She would just really benefit by hiring a receptionist... and a delivery driver.

Egg rolls and fried rice are the best around! I live about 20 minutes from them and they don't deliver... There are about 8 or 9 closer Chinese food places near me, but I have taken the extra ride just go to them for fried rice and egg rolls.

The owner is so responsive and kind. I ordered wonton soup and was pleasantly surprised at how plentiful it was. It was also prepared with extra care that other restaurants have not taken. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Krystal Vy is THE BEST takeout Chinese food in the area. I've been going here for years. Food is fresh, tasty, and you get big portions! It's also a small, family run business. Highly recommend ?

Love Krystal Vy best food ever I have been going here for over 20 years.
Take out only. But the best I've ever had with aggressively large portions. Krystal Vy rules unequivocally.Parking: Big lot, take out only so there's always a spot somewhere

Fluffy egg rolls, tasty hot and sour soup and great service. Portions are large so be prepared. The owners are very friendly and care about their customers.
Easily the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The spring rolls were overcooked and soaked with oil. The kung pao was soggy and flavorless. The chicken and vegetables were not good quality. Not going back.
