Food is bomb. best Chinese food hands down. chicken is crispy and tender, rice is full of flavor, hot and sour soup is delicious, and they are NOT skimpy on their duck sauce.

Best hot and sour soup we have ever had. No buffet, but not disappointed at all. Everything was great. We will stop by next time we are coming through Lexington.

No more buffet. Very good very big plate plus egg roll for less than $10 (get the combo plate). Ignore the fact that the place is rundown and appears dirty.

We were hesitant to try Crystal Kitchen, but considering that most of the bad reviews were due to the fact that the buffet isn't operational, we decided give it a try. So glad we did. We ordered the Hot and Sour soup, Crab Rangoon, and the General Tsoa's Chicken. The Hot and Sour soup was okay. Not the best we have had, though loved the chunks of mushrooms in it. The Crab Rangoon were really good. 10 of them! So worth it. It actually has chunks of Crab (imitation albeit) in it. The General Tsoa's was the best part. I asked for it spicer than what it normally comes at - medium spice. If you like things spicier...ask for it. I would assume that the medium isn't spicy at all, since the level I got was just approaching spicy. The chicken was nice and crispy, the sauce was really good and had a lot of flavor. I'm glad that we took a chance on Crystal Kitchen. I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Good job Crystal Kitchen!

Walked in and was so shocked by the filth that I walked right back out. No buffet. Unclean kitchen in plain view. Several tables with dirty dishes and not a customer in sight.

Took out some Singapore Fun Noodles it’s delicious I always have to order this, travel around the USA and they are very good at this spot! It’s like ramen noodles but has shrimp, Bbq pork, vegetables and a really nice flavor! $11. I didn’t get a chop stick so I guess you have to ask for them if you want them.

Great tasting food. Called ahead to place our extremely large order. We only had to wait 10 minutes on the food. However I didn't mind the wait because all the food was hot, fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly. I recommend this to all ages ?

Food is good and prices are fair but the place needs a good cleaning.

Order two boneless spare ribs sesame chicken pork chop shut and suppose to be cheese wontons instead it was beef something it was so hard I broke my tooth of!! It was the worst food I have eaten
The first time there food was good. Yesterday I ordered Sweet and sour pork. The breading was more like cornbread. Not good at all. I ordered the egg rolls it was more dough than vegetable. and then I ordered the barbecue rib which were so dry even my dog couldn't eat it.

Honestly, when you walk in, it definately looks less than impressive. But when the food came out I was very pleasantly surprised. It was pretty darn good food. The only reasons it is 4 stars instead of 5 is 1, it isn't actually a buffet, and two, the atmosphere wasn't the most appealing. We were the only people there, the table was sticky, and there were old buffet tables rolled against one wall with sheets covering them. With just a little bit of upkeep and such I'd definitely give it 5 stars, but for what it is, it was pretty good. The waitress was friendly as well.

I ordered the Pork egg foo yong and also the wonton egg drop soup. Both were very good. It’s a small place in a strip shopping center but I will be back again and highly recommend it. They do not have the Buffett open at this time. Also this is my first time here and I’m from out of town.

No Buffet, at least on Monday they don't.

Terrible place. Bugs are everywhere in the back and one of the women workers was picking her nose and then started working on the food without washing her hands.
