Crystal jade Xintiandi was the first restaurant i was taken to when I arrived in Shanghai Jan 2010 and have eaten there hundreds of times since. The place is really cool, busy but not too brash and the service very good. Its frequented by many Chinese so that tells you something about what the local (affluent) Chinese think but also... More

Wife and I had a hard time finding this place in Xintiandi, but a good samaritan helped us to the location. We were seated at a long table between 2 young women and a guy and 2 girls. We checked out their food to see if there was anything that looked great. The menu is very helpful since it shows... More

This is a great place for foreigners to begin their adventures in Chinese (primarily Cantonese) food. The menus have pictures to help with ordering if you do not speak Chinese. Try the Dan Dan Mien fabulous spivey peanut noodle soup from the Sichuan region.

There are two locations. One in the mall at the end of the french concession in xintiandi (2nd floor), and another right near the line 1 station of South Huangpi above the Apple store. i believe this tripadvisor entry is the one at the end of the french concession near the xintiandi station on Line 10. The restaurant mainly serves... More

Good Cantonese food. The roast pork is very good. But too busy, need to wait for an hour if no prior reservation.

Crystal Jade is located at the top of a chic shopping mall, so I was immediately skeptical about its authenticity. It is, in fact, a chain, with restaurants across Asia. I was pleasantly surprised by the food - a big step up from PF Chang, but the menu is conservative and seems geared towards the western pallet. Atmosphere was pleasant... More

Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it is awful. Service is uniformly surly and prices are too high for the food you get.

We have problems finding a parking lot in the same building. Ended parking about 500 metres away and have to walk in temperatures of 1 degrees. The layout of the restaurant was somewhat very small, walking space was narrow and sitting area was quite cramp. Food so so. Servings are small.
