Crystal Jade (Xintiandi)

Crystal Jade is a chain from Singapore that’s consistently packed for its combination of stylish decor and Cantonese cooking. Dim sum, in particular, is wildly popular. Most people go for the crispy pork belly, the roast pork, shrimp dumplings, mango pudding, and even xiao long bao. Xintiandi’s store is the flagship, and often considered the best. Reservations are essential.
