Definitely “express”. Judging by the quality and how quick it came out, I don’t think it’s made in house. It seems to be pre made, frozen and reheated/steamed.

As far as the taste, it’s not bad for a quick lunch and the prices are fair for the portions that you get. We had a family outing and ordered multiple of each dish.

The menu is not that big but it had all the popular items. Some were sold out.

We ordered:

Pork shu mai
Shrimp dumplings
Pork soup dumplings
Shrimp rice noodle roll
Shrimp and chive dumplings
Spicy wonton in chil sauce
Chicken feet
Fried rice cake
Wonton soup

The items didn’t come out in stainless or bamboo steamer baskets but in styrofoam or plastic take out containers. It made clean up easy.

They don’t offer free water and charge $1 for Kirkland bottle.

I don’t see us returning but if you’re dining solo or looking for “express” take out, this place does it.

The wontons were bland with a basic pork filling. The dim sum overall was mediocre at best—nothing stood out. Shrimp rice roll should not be mixed with shumai and shrimp dumplings.

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.

Quiet, food comes in plastic containers, rice taste like plastic. Dipping sauce is sweet and watered down. Didn’t look like soy sauce. I thought it was a sit down, cart lady but its more of a to go place. Its fine for a quick bite. Food was fine. Parking sucks. Its cute inside. Overall its fine and not expensive.

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.

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

If you like microwaved food, this is the place for you. The chern-fun and ha gao skin was thicker than rubber, the law-mai-gai doesn’t even taste like law-mai-gai. The siu mai meat was tough, and they boxed the chern fun and the rest of the stuff together! Don’t get me started on the soup dumplings. They’re small, tiny, and no good. You will definitely get better dim sum at the frozen isle at 99 ranch.

Cheap dumpling with cheap quality. Stopped by this morning at 11. Firstly, store has a cool decoration with a Chinese theme. They design the store as a togo place, you order and serve by yourself. We ordered 4 items, and nothing looks like photos 🙂
The shrimp scallop fell off when we touched it. Rice rolls were thick and dry. Bean curd rolls were ok but not tasty. Only thing I can eat is the tripes.
Last words, the store was hot and no conditioner when we visited. They really steamed me like a dumpling 🙂

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.

This place makes great dimsum. I LOVE THEM!!

Starting out with appetizers, getting these fried items are great options. Make sure to eat while they’re hot and crispy for the best taste and texture. They come with mayo dip too but I don’t think you need it.

Main dimsum dishes are great! My favorites are har gow and shumai. You get big prawns, awesome scallops and soft pork inside. They’re perfectly seasoned and mixed well before steaming. SIMPLY EXQUISITE.

The sticky rice is GREAT too if you want something very filling (and with GREAT yummy filling) No sauce needed for any item – they’re very delicious on their own!

OMG THE BAOS I love the yellow custard bun – it’s got tasty custard that melts in your mouth. Pork buns are very well made too!

Side dishes are absolutely wonderful traditional Chinese dishes. Fried rice is very Asian. I LOVE IT!! Chicken feet is actually one of the best I’ve had. They’re FAT!! To get even fancier, try beef tribe.

I got iced tea as my drink. It’s sweet but not too sweet. Great for accompanying dimsum and cutting the flavor very well.
