Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ is one of the many restaurants under the Crystal Jade group. Mom still remarks how great the food was back then when it first opened. How beautifully decorated was the VIP room.The place still looks the same as before except more rundown. The seats seems abit worn out. The service is good as they make sure the table is ready before we step into it. Kid friendly utensils with the cup filled plain water ready on the table for us.With the staff's recommenda
Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ is one of the many restaurants under the Crystal Jade group. Mom still remarks how great the food was back then when it first opened. How beautifully decorated was the VIP room.The place still looks the same as before except more rundown. The seats seems abit worn out. The service is good as they make sure the table is ready before we step into it. Kid friendly utensils with the cup filled plain water ready on the table for us.
With the staff's recommendation, we order the promotion set menu B for 2 persons ($59++), which comes with the following :
Korean Side Dishes (Usual : $10++)There are 6 varieties : kimchi, kimchi white carrot, kimchi fish cake, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned spinach, sweet potato cake.
The kimchi is not crunchy and crispy, while the kimchi white carrot is too sweet in taste, As for the sweet potato cake, it abit too oily.
Sauteed Seasonal VegetableSeems abit out of place here, as it looks more like a dish found in chinese eateries. Quite oily too.
Grilled Mackerel (Usual : $16++)Although the fish looks quite thin, it is actually quite meaty. The fish tastes quite sweet and juicy on it own, without the soya sauce dip.
Assorted Rice in Stone Cattle (Pork) (Usual : $18++)It is actually beef, I have it change to pork. The staff mixes it up and served in small bowls. Looks quite colurful with various vegetables in it. The rice is quite hard and dry.
Authentic Ginseng Chicken Soup (Usual : $25++)The soup tastes not bad, but not much rice is inside the chicken.
Complimentary FruitWe are served individual serving of sliced watermelon and honey melon (not sweet) for dessert.
As for drinks, we are served refillable Korean Tea ($1.00++) which tastes similar to the usual chinese restaurants. Overall service is not bad here, but the food and the place will need to do with a overhaul. Also feel that there in much MSG in the dishes served, as throats feel quite dry after the meal.
