Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ (已結業)

The location of the restaurant used to be upstairs of Ngee Ann City and it was being shifted to the first floor.. It was difficult to locate initially but luckily it was still in the building. Once we reached, the waitress saw us and served us in and the new seating plan of the restaurant is better as compared to the past as it is more spacious.Ordered for the seafood pancake, glass noodles,kimchi soup and a bowl of brown rice to share. I like Korean small free flow side dishes that they will se

Korean cuisine would usually not be my top choices but more of a go-when-someone-recommends/craves-for-it kind of thing. I visited Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ for a colleague's farewell - with an established name like Crystal Jade made me more confident of the quality of food there. There were even service staff streaming around in their hanboks!We began with six banchan side dishes that seemed more of a fusion between Chinese and Korean styles. The first mandatory side dish was th

Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ restaurant celebrates it’s 10th anniversary at a new location with larger seating capacity at Basement 2, Takashimaya. It is walking distance from Orchard MRT station.With the new expansion of restaurant, they have come up with new dishes to provide more varieties to customers. Whenever we think of Korean cuisine, we will be expecting whole spread of banchan varieties that comes complimentary. However, with the new location and revamping, banchan /side d

Firstly, It was quite stuffy, quite small... Service was okay.. but we need to ask the staff to refill our ice water... food wise was soso.. but I must say the ginseng soup was very yummy!1.Seafood Pancake... hmm... I feel that there was too much flour le..and not much ingredient... I think it would be better, with more seafood inside la... It was crispy! 2.Chicken Bibimbap! It is always my favorite item in korean cuisine... But I don't really like the taste of the sauce.. Btw,though in the menu

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

Usually this place is crowded when I pass by and always been wanting to try. Well, I finally have the chance to try out their food. A group of us ordered a mixture of meats for barbeque , soup, fried seafood pancake, Korean rice cake, beancurd and sushi. The barbecue meat consist of the promotion Wagyu Beef when you exceed $80 in your total items, you get to order it for $19. I really love the texture and flavour of this meat. It was marinated just right and the beef was juicy and tender. Apart

Since I read so many good writeups about their korean ginseng chicken soup, I decided to try with my daughter last evening. We ordered the $59.00 set which consists of 5 korean side dishes, 2 grilled saba fishes, 1 plate of pak choi, bibimbap (rice with beef on the hot bowl), korean ginseng chicken soup and cut fruits. As the restaurant was not very crowded, the different types of banchan (side dishes) arrived quickly. It was very common items like big-head bean sprouts, spinach, celery with

Also, I found the floor a little slippery, probably due to the poor ventilation and misty droplets of oil from the Korean bbq. They really need to wipe the grease off the floor.

The overall verdict is that the Korean cuisine here is not great, and too pricey for the lack in quality and authenticity. Also, I found the floor little slippery, probably due to the poor ventilation and misty droplets of oil from the Korean bbq. They really need to wipe the grease off the floor. We walked out of the small restaurant smelling of bulgogi and oil. The side dish were not nice, the kimchi is too blend and similar with the other dishes. Anyway, for the price, I don't like the feelin

The thing about the Crystal Jade group is you can depend on them to deliver good food. Not necessarily outstanding, excellent food, but good food nonetheless. Coupled that with great service and value for money, you have a commercially sound value proposition and a crowd pleasing restaurant.The name is misleading, the because the Crystal Jade group is so synonymous with Chinese Cooking, I wasn't sure if this was a Korean restaurant but the menu confirms otherwise. We had the bulgogi - a bit dry,

It was a last minute decision to have our dinner here. A friend of mine suddenly fond of Korean food and couple of times, he would suggest we should have Korean food. The restaurant were packed with reservations and we managed to get a table but were given an hour and the half to finish our meal in order to make way for the next diner. We had a set for 4 which consist of Ginseng Chicken, BBQ Beef, Grilled Fish etc and added some side orders as we have total of 6 persons. It was a enjoyable meal

Went for their lunch with colleagues. It was my first time there.I had been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for some time due to the great reviews I had read online. We ordered beef for bbq, ginseng soup, spicy rice cake and the wagyu beef for the bbq as well. We also had the refillable korean tea which is only at $1.Service was good and waiting time was short.

The overall dining experience is ok; no wow factor. The ingredients are fresh and up to quality; well they have to be of quality at the slightly hefty price charged. The place is quite small and some seats are already torn – replacement of seats is in urgent need. Staffs are generally quite attentive but sometimes at the wrong time. It doesn’t make sense that the same staff came to ask if we need refill in the next 5 mins after drinks were served and disappear within the next 30 mins when we des

I had been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for some time due to the great reviews I had read online. We ordered beef for bbq, ginseng soup, spicy rice cake and the wagyu beef for the bbq as well. We also had the refillable korean tea which is only at $1.The first dish was the beef for the bbq. The beef comes marinated. And it is too salty for my liking. To my relief, the wagyu beef is not marinated and is indeed tender and delicious. The ginseng soup is yummy and we even had a refill

Went for their lunch with colleagues. It was my first time there.Had the appetitsers, ginseng chicken soup and some side dishes. Totally in love with their ginseng chicken soup. I would try to finish one bowl of it by myself the next time.Service was good and waiting time was short.
