Recently found Crystal Dumplings while looking for a new dim sum place. This is our second time visiting and the dim sum is always fresh. The establishment is tucked away in a corner of the shopping plaza. We always get the spare ribs, red scallop dumpling, pork xiu mai, rice shrimp noodle rolls.

I went to our usual Dim Sum place for a big Sunday lunch, got everything we needed but they were out of Shumai. A quick Google search and I found Crystal Dumplings. This is a clean and well decorated shop, not sure, but it feels like a mom and pop place. We ordered three or four orders of Shumai and grabbed a couple of other things we didn’t know we needed. We got a scallop and shrimp dumplings as well as two salted egg buns. Everything was so delicious! The Shumai were very large and meaty. They had a good chew to them, you knew you were eating meat, not just ground up pasty stuff. They scallop and shrimp dumplings were also really good. We were surprised by the red color of the wrappers, it made for a really cool affect. I ended the meal with the salted egg buns which were very good. I love custard but I am usually disappointed with most dim sum custard buns, these were really good. Next time I’m going to Crystal dumplings and get all of my dim sum from them. The lady that helped us was very nice and helpful. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and we can’t wait to return.Edit: Came back and ate in. They are so nice and the place is very clean. We got the Pork Shrimp Shumai, Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Scallop Dumplings, Shrimp and Chive Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Noddle rolls, Spicy Wonton in Chili Sauce, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Spare Ribs with Black Bean, House Fried Rice, BBQ Pork Buns, Custard Buns, Salted Egg Buns, Fried Shrimp Beancurd rolls, Fried BBQ Beef Wontons and Fried Seafood Spring Rolls. Pretty much the whole menu minus the chicken feet and the Tripe (I would have ordered them but I left my wife in charge). We loved everything so much that we ordered more of our favorites. Instead of telling you our favorites I will tell you what we will not order next time, not because we didnt like it, but because we loved the others so much. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Spare Ribs with Black Bean and House Fried Rice we could have left off. The Pork Shrimp Shumai is one of our favorites, this is probably the biggest Shumai out there, very dense and comforting. My wife usually doesnt like Shumai as she says it is too gamey but this one she loves, probably the shrimp adds a sweetness to the pork. I was amazed by the Fried Shrimp Beancurd rolls, the wrappers were so thin I was surprised they survived the fryer, this light coating from the fryer highlighted the filling, not the cooking method. My friend also commented on how light the breading on the Fried Seafood Spring Rolls was, it was more of a breaded and fried roll but it was so light and delicate that it didnt overshadow the seafood. Everyone, especially the kids, loved the Fried BBQ Beef Wontons, and we ended up ordering more. The star was the Salted Egg Buns which we ordered more of, then ordered more to go then our friend ordered more to go, they are that good. We ended up leaving with Shumai, Wontons and Salted Egg Buns to go and had them for dinner with some edamame.

Great selection of dumplings and drinks. Pleasantly decorated dining room. I ordered for pick up: hakau (only Won Kok in San Francisco was fresher), pork/shrimp shumai (giant), shrimp rice rolls (like hakau, except more tender), shrimp and chive dumplings (the wrapper is vegetarian), soup dumplings, and braised spare ribs. If youre in the mood for dumplings, this is the place.

Very comfy restaurant that has a good selection of foods. Friendly and prompt service. My finance and I love ordering from here. My favorite is the custard buns and my finance loves the shumai! We wanted to try the salted egg buns, but theyre only available on weekends. We will be back to try more. Highly recommend!

Boyfriend and I were in the mood for dim sum and found this through a quick Google search. The interior is small but not cramped. We ordered shu mai, shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice noodle rolls, and fried bean curd rolls. The food came out within five minutes of ordering and everything was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at the crispy texture of the fried bean curd since normally those are more mushy. Total came out to be $40 which is not bad at all for the amount of food we ordered. The service was great, cashier was super friendly and easy to talk to. Would consider stopping by again if Im in the area!

Love the way they make scallops suicao and chicken feet. Chiumai, and sticky rice wrap with lotus leaf too. Better get orders before make sure you dont have to wait too long.

Crystal Dumplings has the freshest dumplings and excellent customer service. The staff is always friendly and cheerful and the food is always hot and tasty. We love the Sea Salt Thai Green Tea, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Fried BBQ Beef Wontons, Stewed Chicken Feet, and Sesame Balls!

Crystal Dumplings is currently in soft opening mode with a limited menu. The server said they should be transitioning to a full menu by the end of the year. I know its a to-go spot but I had a big order so I called ahead. Also, call ahead if youre in a hurry and want the salted egg buns. They took awhile to steam. I ordered a little bit of everything to try:Shrimp ha cao | I love how the skin isnt thick and theres a lot of shrimp.Shumai | one of my fave items here. Delicious.Chicken feet | not dry, flavorfulFried rice | standard fried riceTau hu ky | yum! So crispy and good.Beef wontons | my sisters favorite item here. Its very savory. Not like your traditional gyoza.Pork ribs | standard. Not bad.Salted egg buns | my sis and dad said its one of the best theyve ever had.Definitely coming back for their full menu. My family really enjoyed everything.

I feel bad because there are not many people know this place due to the pandemic. Their siumai is DELICIOUS. I also love fried bean curd. The chicken feet are overcooked for me, but other dishes are over my expectation. Will come back to try all items on the menu ❤❤❤❤❤
