Came here with my family and ordered the set lunch. Very delicious meal. Love the peking duck and the sliced duck, which is very tender. Their dim sum are very nice too! Service staff are also very friendly and attentive 👍

Must come by 1115am to be in the first seating 1130-1230pm 1hr. If you are a little late, you have to be in the 2nd seating. The service is excellent and food is great. 😊 insane long queue but some people managed to grab a reservation… maybe they know the staff personally. Great dim sum 🥟

3.8/5 Went for the last time to East Ocean restaurant today for Winter Solstice meal celebrations. The whole restaurant was super crowded and the staff were busy and hectic. We ordered a combination of dim sum and ala carte dishes. The dim sum were mostly satisfactory but nothing stood out. For the Ala carte dishes, the typhoon shelter roasted chicken was just okay, the scallops asparagus were a little bland and the scallops didn’t have a natural sweetness to them. The seafood vermicelli was decent tasting and the best dish of the meal was the signature garlic and spring onions prawns, they were delicous, fresh and sweet and with a nice savoury kick. The yam paste was good and definitely better than the honeydew sago. We had wanted to order cold crabs but they weren’t available. Perhaps they were really busy but the food standard seemed to have dropped compared to our previous visits. Farewell East Ocean, this decades old Teochew-Cantonese restaurant would surely be missed by many.

The sharks fin is good. Not too salty. Abalone a bit small for the price, probably due to the sea cucumber with it. Not much service by staff as they are all rather busy. Hard to get staff’s attention. They gave us a free dessert after our meal and other tables. Bigger groups have a different dessert. Only 2 of us and when I saw the dessert, I felt like we were given left over pastry from the Mid-autumn festival sale. The pastry is not to our liking.

This well maintained restaurant since the 90’s serve traditional Chinese cuisine with delightful familiar taste and the classics will never wrong. Price wise it’s on the rather expensive side but it’s understandable since it’s located right in the center of busy tourist area

Family Dim Sum lunch at this long term Cantonese restaurant. Even so being part of a large chain, they convince with professionally prepared authentic food and traditional style service. Quality like this commands its price, so expect to pay well for it.

We had a satisfying birthday meal at Crystal Jade Palace last week. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Some courses were so attractively presented they elicited a few wow's. Portion sizes overall were good, and the dishes were well seasoned and executed. Thank you, manager Jacky, Yoyo and in particular, supervisor Candy Jiang, for your friendly, attentive and detailed service! Some highlights: - crispy roast pork: nice crackling skin and despite the layer of fat, did not taste greasy. cute presentation! - ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice dumpling): juicy filling inside a chewy fried dough. lovely plating. - black truffle roast duck: generous truffle seasoning, aromatic and yummy. - steamed soon hock: nicely steamed, tender and tasty. - seafood mee sua: light but flavourful, with an unexpected layer of soft steamed goodness at the bottom that gives the dish good contrasting textures.

4.5/5 My family, along with our extended family, has frequented Crystal Jade Palace numerous times in the past, although it had been a while since our last visit. We returned a few months ago to celebrate my sibling's birthday. The food quality remained high, and the standards were consistently maintained. The dim sums and appetizer we ordered were all well executed and very delicious. The beggar chicken had a intense umami flavor and was very tasty and appetizing, though I am not really sure how an authentic version should taste like. The minced shrimp patties with crab roe was quite pleasing and the stir-fried French beans was flavourful. However, the baked live prawns with spring onion and ginger were disappointing. The dish had too much gravy, and the gravy tasted rather flat and insipid, without the expected flavors of spring onion and ginger. The fresh prawns were the only redeeming aspect, but I would rate this dish 2/5. The complimentary birthday buns were a thoughtful gesture from the restaurant.

This is probably the best dim sum restaurant in Singapore. Restaurant ambience, food quality, service are all good. Ordered lava bun, har gow, beef brisket noodles, rice roll, dumpling soup, char siew bun, deep fried eggplant with cereal. Most are so delicious esp the char siew bun, jar gow, and lava bun, except 1) the eggplant tastes just like any deep fried food 2) the cucumber pickle is really cucumber in some soy sauce 3) the brisket noodles can be abit more springy. Really like the aunties who served us as they are all so attentive and friendly. Lastly, the toilet is not up to par for such a nice restaurant. I have to go to the Takashimaya toilet instead. Nevertheless I’ll still go again for their food, IMO it’s the best dim sum restaurant in sg.

Arrived there at 6.00pm .. after shopping in the guardian.. I saw this restaurant in front of the drugstore. My stomach was growling asking to be fed. Decided to go in without reservation, and checked the menu. To me the food was so so ... average. I was expecting more than that actually. But it's okay, at least my tummy was happy. I ordered baked bbq pie and shrimp noodle. When i left the restaurant, the place was starting full, so it is recommended to make a reservation.
