herm pugayApril 7, 2015I have not tried the restaurant downstairs but upstairs is a fun space for the high end event that I attended. Nice indoor bar and lounge area is well as an outdoor patio area.
Assuming you already will order the xiao long bao, the dan dan noodle is the next must-order item! Perfect bounce in the noodles, great heat, rich flavor.
_November 30, 2014The best xiao long baos I've ever had (but $9 for 4 pieces...) - hope the quality was not a fluke! If that's true, the quality is better than Din Tai Fung in Taiwan, but not the price.
Abbey KeckFebruary 8, 2017The Beef Tenderloin with Black Pepper sauce was really good, as was the sweet and sour pork and the Peking duck. Get the Japanese mochi for dessert!- _January 14, 2015The amazing Xiao Long Baos I had the first time here were definitely a fluke. Came back and the quality dropped immensely. Tried other dishes as well - still do not think it is worth the price.
KarstenMarch 5, 2015Fantastic xiaolongbao, har gao, shu mai, and those egg yolk custard buns (even if they do look like tangerines!)
- KarstenMarch 29, 2015Eggplant, egg custard buns, and anything from the dim sum! Order the Peking duck, but if you're a former Beijinger/food snob, skip it
Elynn LeeMay 23, 2016Unsure if it was because it was a Sunday, but they told us that Peking duck would only be ready for dinner at 7pm. Plan accordingly!
Andy WangDecember 9, 2014Great ambience. Gives Hakkasan a run for the money in the fancy Chinese food category
- Elynn LeeMay 23, 2016Peking duck was only ok. Skin wasn't very crispy, & pancakes were undercooked/doughy - tore while server wrapped them. Making the remaining duck into soup is $10 extra. Soup was really yummy, though!
Chris H.March 15, 2015Beautiful views of the Bay. Peking Duck was great, prepared table side just like in Beijing.
Terri MeadMarch 3, 2016Bar service was excellent. Christopher was delightfully friendly. Food was served quickly and was tasty.
Edward KFebruary 22, 2015Food is superb...but the main point of failure this restaurant faces is a western style management servicing customers expecting an authentic Chinese dining experience. #smh- JingyanJune 28, 2015Xiao long Bao and Peking duck! Hmmm... Singaporean chili crab is next on my list
Sarah EFebruary 28, 2015Dont eat any of the happy hour bar items! Its all pretty bad and literally each item is deep fried!
Pepper crab is pricey but good. Ours at "market price" came out to $58.
Kai LoDecember 27, 2014Dim Sum is authentic, but really expensive. Can't justify the additional costs. Heavy on the msg.
Jacy LiFebruary 13, 2017Over-priced dim sum! Stir fried Pea-shoots costs $18! And the dim sum served was not even warm :(
LisaMay 15, 2015Ordered the hainanese chicken from the to-go counter. It doesn't live up to the expectation of the original Crystal Jade I tried in Asia. Disappointed.
Anne LaporteFebruary 14, 2016Worse service esperience ever! Guys, check your reviews, and work on them! Your food is good, but your service!
Chris EdwardsJanuary 31, 2015Food was overpriced and the service was shockingly bad. Staff hardly knew their own menu.

"Perfect place to go for lunch if you find yourself near the Ferry Building. Don't turn down the kimbap! The japchae is really good. If you're in the mood for a fusion spin, try a bulgogi sandwic."
