We ordered takeaway from Chinatown Crystal Jade Restaurant 翡翠小厨. They are currently doing 3 x set menu options - 龙虾🦞 Lobster, 南极蟹🦀 Crab and Fish 东升斑🐟. Crystal Jade set menu special ends 12/04/2020 according to their instagram page.We ordered the lobster set menu with Chicken (三杯鸡), Garlic Beef Tenderlion (蒜片牛柳粒) and changed the rice to noodles. Large Lobster Set menu (~approx 1.5kg) $370. We used the Sosure App and Crystal Jade are currently doing 70% rebate. Instant rebate received as sosure credit. So technically only $106.50 Lobster was very meaty and definitely good value of money, approx 1.5kg. Tenderloin was very soft and chicken was very flavoursome. Highly recommend. 👍
Very old establishment with good food and reasonable prices. Possibly change of management with new faces of new staffs. Overall service is good and professional. Many varieties in their menu and we enjoyed their food and services.
4.5 I love yum cha here! The food is really fresh as it is so busy. My favourite is the prawn dumplings, salted egg custard bun, the radish cake and the mango pudding!
Don’t need to elaborate on the food; It was great specially when you’re hungry. Place has comfortable sitting which is good. Service was ok, but you need to call trolly to serve you food. One server was rude - wife asked for Siu mai, she replied by saying ‘ do you see any Siu Mai In here?’. We enjoyed the food though.

Great place for meetings and good family crowd.
Amazing egg tarts, durian puffs and salted egg yolk buns. Their service is quite friendly and attentive, I could now see why they are the No.1 yum cha place in Melbourne. I am definitely gonna go back to try their taro desserts and more. But next time... I will probably order less if I am going by myself XD
They accept alipay and wechat pay as well.
蛋挞，榴莲酥，流沙包，都很棒，服务是我在墨尔本吃的所有早茶店里最好的之一。早晨来一个现烤的酥皮类甜点…简直太幸福了。我觉得或许我会成为常客。对了，他们也接受支付宝和微信付款，很方便。
My family visited Crystal Jade Restaurant for dinner.
We really loved the food, my favourite was menu no. 314, the taro rings are a must to try! It was so crunchy outside and warm+ soft on the inside.
The service was also very friendly- our waiter loved a chat and the conversations felt very genuine.
The price is definitely on the higher end, I would recommend it for special occasions or family gatherings.

If you do not need to consider the price, this restaurant is the best for Cantonese food. Everything is fresh and taste amazing. But the price really high and I wouldn't come a lot for a normal lunch or dinner. Make money is important when I tried this restaurant.
They provide luxury ingredients, like wagyu, snow crab, lobster, and even foie gras. Most of the food were delicious, although not the best, but they’re one of the better ones, especially in Melbourne. If you order the expensive dishes, the service would be excellent. About five or more waiters served the table, since we ordered those dishes, but other tables did not get so much attention. At the end of the meal, the waiter asked for tip, which was usual when dining in a restaurant, however, the waiter did not look away like other restaurants usually do, which felt kind of rude and disrespectful.
I rang to book, however was told that they only accept walk-in. Queue was not long, and while waiting, you can look at the menu to order your food. It’s a double-sided menu with English and Chinese on each side which I find it super helpful.
Dining in on the first floor, so you had to walk 2 flights of steps, but I see that they have a lift too to cater for people that needs it.
Food came out pretty fast, one after the other, and for the price, I would say that their serving size is pretty small. Taste wise, it’s pretty good, except that I don’t quite understand the combination of carrots and scallops in the ‘steamed scallop rice noodle rolls’ as it doesn’t really go well. The dumplings we ordered is dry and doesn’t taste nice. The rest are great.
For the price we paid, we could eat 2 lunches elsewhere.
having lunch here, and they are truly busy but the food serving was pretty quick. we do have an hour only due to the peak hour, but we manage to finish all in an hour. the food taste okay. portion was pretty standard, not particularly huge or small. it not the traditional style where someone pushing a trolley filled with dim sum. kind of disappointing, but all good.
Quick service and the food tasted pretty much as you'd expect for dim sum. They do prawn dishes and rice noodle rolls well. The salted egg buns were rather mushy and the bbq pork pastry was a bit dry, but not too bad.
We travelled to Melbourne for the weekend and had Mother’s Day dinner and Crystal Jade. We were blown away - the serves were generous, tasty, loaded and piping hot. The special fried rice was full of prawns and the Buddha feast mushroom dish was the table favourite
The service at Crystal Jade is really fast! Once you've placed your order, your food comes out fresh & hot! The food was super tasty. I think this is the best Yum Cha I've had in a long time! The restaurant is well presented, & very clean.
After a high recommendation from a work colleague, finally got to come here.
They were very accommodating, as we walked in during the busy lunch hour with no booking.
The service was exceptional, but after ordering, everything came out at once, which isn't much of a gripe. Though, the trade of efficiency for the authenticity of the food carts is missed.
Plus, we're pushed to consume the dishes while they're at an adequate temperature, yum cha's definitely more enjoyed as a slow burn.
The Har Gao and Egg Tarts were easy stand outs.
