Crystal Dumplings - Garden Grove

Very cute a small place with easy to order menu. The service is very friendly. Salted egg buns only on weekends though!

We wanted to love it, and the actual place looks really cute and clean, but the food is just ok. I was between 2 and 3 stars bc we just weren 't impressed with the authenticity/quality of the food. The shrimp rice noodle roll for example, was not even made w the thin rice paper, it was made w the same thicker dough as the ha gow. And what really took me over the edge was the size of the shrimps- itty bitty baby shrimps! Mini sized. Bean curd rolls- not what you 'd expect, they are fried. Sticky rice in louts leaf- not badShrimp scallop dumpling- the red coloring was interesting, dumpling itself wasn 't bad Def would go to Dim Sum city over this place!

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.

In a wasteland barren of Dim Sum there stands a lone bastion of bamboo steamers as a beacon of hope in SD. Yes... CRYSTAL DUMPLINGS has the goods. A huge and sprawling dining room littered with stainless steel carts loaded with delicious delicacies welcomes the weary traveler and provides all the classics. Grab a communal table, make some friends. Hail down the folks pushing the carts and point out exactly what it is that you want! No need to peruse a menu. No waiting for the kitchen. Get a double order of the chili oil and don't forget to get an order of the shrimp rice rolls. You can thank me later pal

Food is authentic and delicious. I have always wanted to try their food but they close at 4pm. Wish they were a bit closer to my workplace so I can go here everyday.
