Crystal Jade (Chinese)

June 3rd, 2008 by djstrouse

So normally, this would be filed at Yelp, but unfortunately the ethnocentric founders don’t service any communities outside the US of A. Send some angry emails my friends!

Crystal Jade was recommended to me through several different channels as one of the best Chinese restaurants in Shanghai. I’m a bit mixed. The food was excellent, but nothing better than I have had elsewhere in Shanghai. Two things differentiate Crystal Jade from the others – (1) its more expensive and (2) it also offers very high-end endangered species to eat, including shark fin and sea turtles.

Recommendation: Only go to Crystal Jade if you’re looking to impress friends, family, or clients with exotic traditional Chinese dishes. You can get great Chinese for a quarter of the price elsewhere.
