Food: 5/5 Wedding theme food included: walnut shrimp, lobster, sauté seafood and veggies and a whole slew of other delicacies. Food was cooked perfectly, every dish was delish. The flavor were spot on and were seasoned extremely! Most memorable was the lobster, which I couldn't get enough of!!! Service: 5/5 Staff was great and extremely attentive. A lot of moving parts while music in the background. The staff were very quick, kind and very accommodating. Everyone was very gracious given the wedding evening! We always had assistance when needed! Ambiance: 5/5 This is a venue and so what you make of it is up to your creative imagination, the team did a great job with planning. But the openess, stage, and parking access make this the perfect option. The wedding I attended had great lighting, plenty of open space for a large number of attendees, and also the restrooms were very clean!!! Highly recommended venue for weddings, parties, group events, birthdays!!! Hope to be back soon! read more

I had my wedding here in late November 2025 and my guests absolutely loved the food and ambience here! The staff here helped was so helpful especially Cindy and Ann who helped us navigate through the planning/setup from the moment we booked the venue until our big day. They have a great price point compared to most other wedding venues as well! I would highly recommend booking here for your next event read more

Celebrated Sabaidee Fest New Year's Eve Gala 2023 . We were 20 minutes early and decided to sit in the car in the parking lot , noticed the lot is not that big . I am assuming there is street parking available to accommodate big crowds ?. Restaurant had a nice ambiance feel . set up , table displays / floral arrangements, And lighting were beautifully done . Dance floor / stage were just right for the amount of people attending and dancing . Not sure if the food was made in house or catered from elsewhere - so I won't give my two cents here. I did purchase a bottle of Perrier carbonated drink at the bar it was outrageously price ( $10 I think ) Our waiter were not great , they didn't bother removing the individual dirty soup bowls , it was left on the table until I asked if she can first take it away before trying to squeeze in another plate of food . Felt the service here by the wait staff were mediocre not attentive . Women bathroom the middle of the event were not kept clean. Toilet papers scattered on the floors. Need more attention through out the night. read more

We booked our very first formal here for my organization. Not only was the place a good ambiance, it was also very good environment. We were able to have scheduled dinner as well as great service. Tiffany was the one who I talked to in regards to organizing everything. Went through pricing with her and overall she's a fantastic person to talk to and organize everything for us! We would definitely book the same venue again! read more

Just had our wedding here 3 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with this venue. My husband and I visited many venues before deciding on this one and we instantly fell in love with this place when we toured it. Everything went SO WELL that even 3 weeks later, people are still telling us how beautiful and fun the party was. We even had a family friend book their wedding here for December of this year based solely off our recommendation. * modern decorations * modern chairs * LED lights * flexibility / accommodating * huge lot of land for parking * up to 400 guests * good food (9-courses of yuuummmyyy food with customizable menu *vegetarian packages available) * easy and quick communication with owners I'm telling y'all, this place will give you the best bang for your buck. Tableware, linen, curtains, catering, and soft drinks are all included in their package -- even extra decorations are available to rent/use depending on the item. Tiffany and Ann were SOOOO helpful and worked insanely hard to make our day perfect. They literally helped so much that we didn't even need to hire a day-of coordinator and these ladies are so sweet to work with. We worked with Chris as well and he is extremely friendly and accommodating. The team here is super kind and they're very focused on making sure your day is perfect. Trust me when I say it's important to have a venue team fighting in your corner rather than chasing after a pretty penny from you. Tiffany and Ann were available and communicative with us every step of the way. Any questions we had, they were HAPPY to explain/answer, no hidden costs or fees y'all. Our vendors even had a blast. There are so many outlets available for your needs + clean bathroom + private bathroom for the bride and/or groom. They are super prepared and organized, there wasn't anything that we needed that they didn't have (within their bounds). I have a million good things to say about this place and the team --- book them!!!!! read more

# 400 Review Oh what a New Years Celebration it was... I recall it's been like a decade since I've gone out to a NYE Party. When my cousin invited mee to attend a New Years Eve Gala. I hopped on the opportunity. Celebrate With my old friends & cousin along with a 7 course feast. Sure why not! Located in Stanton. A stand alone restaurant. Parking was really limited out front. Good thing we got there a little past 7 p.m. Event started at 7 p.m. I believe there's street parking. Right when you walk into the restaurant, it was well lit along w the nice glossy floors. The tables were set up nicely w Chiavari chairs. The restaurant was really spacious. But i can see how this could be somewhat a little small for Asian weddings. We came for a party so not too over packed. The dance floor was big enough and a great stage area. The food was good from what my friends and my husband told mee. I only had the soup which of course is always bland. It's the type of egg drop seafood soup. The eggrolls were crispy yummy & the Peking duck w bun. I'd definitely recommend this venue for party/celebration. Downfall is the parking is a bit smaller. 12.31.22-1.01.23 read more

I visited Crystal Restaurant & Banquet on a Sunday, for a larger family banquet to celebrate a baby's 1st birthday! Crystal Banquet is a seafood restaurant that serves family style Chinese seafood cuisine that is great for dinner or upscale traditional parties. The venue itself was very spacious ... we had a large gathering of people and the food was delicious. We were served a 10-course meal but my favorite by far was the fried fish fillets and lobster fried noodle. The fried fish fillets were sauced but they were still amazingly crispy and unlike anything i've ever eaten and the lobster fried noodles had a lot of flavor. My review is based on primarily the food and the venue's layout of being spacious, accommodating to our needs and the attentive and welcoming staff. Looking forward to hosting a family party or a wedding banquet here in the future :) read more

Amazing venue! I came here for a friend's wedding and it was a great experience. The venue itself was large with adequate space for a big 200+ wedding. I've heard that it could also be expanded to also accommodate for an even larger group. I definitely recommend this place if you are planning on having a big wedding! The food was so delicious! So many dishes! Even though I was full, I kept eating because of how delicious the food was. The peking duck and walnut shrimp definitely stood out to me. Definitely one of the best wedding foods I've had. I definitely prefer banquet style food due to my Asian palette. Im The venue could easily be transformed for weddings as well as birthday parties and other types of events. It is definitely one of the best banquet weddings I've been to. The service itself was also amazing. The servers were attentive and super friendly. read more

Lovely venue! The event coordinator, Tiffany, was very responsive and easy to talk to. She was very flexible with our requests, and accommodated to everything we asked for! Held my organization's event here, and had a great time. The venue itself was very spacious, and the atmosphere is very modern & elegant. There's plenty of parking in the front of the venue for large groups as well! We decided to go with the 7-course menu and everything was delicious and so filling! My favorite was the chicken fried rice. The waiters were also very quick to clear our plates, and our dishes came out fast. I would definitely recommend Crystals Banquet for any event!! read more

Great spot for throwing family events or birthday parties! Had my grandmother's 90th birthday celebration here. This place is huge! They were able to easily accommodate my party of 150, and we still had plenty of room for a live band and dance floor. Ask for Tiffany. She definitely took care of us. She knew how important this event was to us, and she FRIGGIN delivered! Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I love that she was flexible and accommodated all of our last-minute requests. She made sure to maximize every feature while working within our budget. For the price point, I cannot recommend this place enough! Truly magical night for our family! Walnut shrimp and the house special lobster noodle were fire! Must get! The staff members were attentive throughout the night. Huge plus! No complaints from my guests. Planning a big event is stressful. But it doesn't have to be. Crystal Restaurant made it seamless! Thank you Crystal Restaurant for allowing us to just focus on celebrating our grandmother! Will def book again! read more

Went here for the Sabaidee Fest NYE Gala because my friend, Mimi told me about it last minute, literally the day before!!!! I already had other plans but when she told me about it and showed me the flyer, it looked and sounded like so much fun! Why wouldn't I want to go to a 7 course meal and a bottle of Hennessy?!!!?? Well, I can do without the bottle but the 7 courses sounded so good. I got there early because I wasn't familiar with the venue and good thing I did because it was a small parking lot and it was raining hard that night. Gala started at 7pm and it was dress to impress. Everyone was in their formal attire and ready to party. I didn't know anyone but Mimi and literally everyone that I met was so nice, except for one of the singers who I won't name but I complimented on her hair and I said it twice cuz she didn't say anything to me the first time so I thought I would repeat myself, and she still ignored me. But the venue was awesome, a lot of beautiful decor as soon as you walk in, so many photo opportunities and very spacious for sure. The first half was just more for photos and the bar was there and the second half had really nice tables and the setup was beautiful!!!! I can see why this place is for celebrations and special occasions. They had a really nice stage for the band and the performers to do what they do. It was a good time and so much food, almost too much. I actually wish I could've taken some home but I was actually still gonna go to the other party I had already planned to go to weeks ago. But this was definitely a cool venue! Also I wish I brought my own drinks cuz you even had to pay for water. read more

Crystal Restaurant & Banquet - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Stanton, California

I was planning a formal event for my organization which would have 40 people in total (who would be attending the dinner). Despite the one star reviews, I decided to focus on the really good reviews that were on here and give this place a try. On my end, due to many circumstances, I had to change the date to my event and the owners were helpful in that, which I appreciate. My first mistake was paying a deposit before obtaining an itemized list of everything I was paying for. When I did ask for one, the owner did not know what I was asking about so I showed him an example from a previous venue I had used and he told me he would send one to me via email. Although, when I did receive his email, he just gave me a quote, which is not what I was expecting because we had already agreed on the price I would be paying. The pricing of food was $275 per table of 10 which was $1,110 out of the $4,500 I was being charged. I wanted to know what the other charges for. I was okay with the price I just want to know what exactly I was paying for (i.e. cleaning fee, service fee, etc). Once again, the blame cannot fully go on them since I did not ask ahead of time. The next encounter that was confusing was when he asked for a second down payment when the contract agreement was that I would pay the first $1,000 to save the date and the rest of the payments at least 2 weeks prior to the event. The venue itself is very nice and spacious. The day of the event everything was set up and ready to go. The owners were helpful in what I needed during the event. It was very hot inside the venue though. I did ask them if they could turn on the AC and they did, but my guests said they were still very hot. As for the food, I heard some mixed reviews on it from my guests, some said it was okay and others said it was really good. Unfortunately, I was not able to taste much of it because I was running the event. Overall, it was a mix of good and bad. The owner was helpful in times but I feel like communicating with him was difficult as well. I do think the event was successful and everyone had a good time. I hope that if I do plan another event here, the planning process would be smoother than my first time here. It is a nice venue to use so I would say if anyone wants to check it out, definitely go for it! Just be sure to not be afraid to ask questions about what you need! read more

I booked my birthday party at the Crystal Restaurant & Banquet which was an amazing venue with generous event space, warm hospitality, and great food. Event Space (5 stars): Everything from the decor, the lighting, and the atmosphere was perfect. The dance floor had just the right amount of space for everyone who wished to dance. Parking was a breeze with tons of parking in the back for large groups. Hospitality (5 stars): Everyone from the waiters to the owners were friendly, professional, and accommodating. The managers were so easy to book with and accommodated my last minute requests. They answered all the questions I had. You could tell they come prepared and want you to have the most memorable night. It sure was for me! Food (5 stars): The food was fantastic. Loved the lobster noodles, egg rolls, and honey walnut shrimp. I had a giant chicken leg that was so juicy. The lobster noodles were cooked just right, and the egg rolls I had were nice and crispy. I was lucky to take home some honey walnut shrimp so I could eat the next day! Overall, the food was fantastic and exceeded my expectations! read more

Food here is horrible. From appetizers to the main course. They would break a crab claw into into smaller pieces and wrapped shrimp paste around it to deep fried to save money on the claws.

Pssssssst! bride and groom, BOOK YOUR DATE BEFORE ITS GONE!!!!! Our pictures say it all. We were really really happy on our special day. My guests stayed and danced until closing . We would like to THANK YOU the owner, his wife and restaurant staffs for making our important day STRESS FREE, FUN, SPECIAL and mostly important BEAUTIFUL. Our family and the our guests were also all soooooo impressed by how DELICIOUSSSSSSS the foods were! My mom is a retired chef herself. She, all my aunties and guests couldn't stop comment on how tasty the foods were. It's the first time eating here for many of them. Many of our guests including ourselves will absolutely come back for future parties. My wedding must be beautiful with delicious food and Crystal Restaurant delivered it both above and beyond our expectation. Owner and his wife's are nice, reasonable people and easy to work with. My mom just got back from a family wedding at Diamond Seafood Palace II, herself and everyone at her table of the guests were sooooo disappointed. Foods were too salty, dry and oily compared to the same dishes they were served in my wedding. Food suck + cramped seats = unhappy guests. WE'RE EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT WE PICKED CRYSTAL RESTAURANT. read more

I made a party with this restaurant it was the worst experience of my life! Chris The owner/manager actually charged me to wash forks and knives for extra guest that came in did not allow my rental company to pick up their Schaeffers/warmers that I rented he also use them for other peoples events !!!and did not allow my rental company to pick them up and argued with me and the rental company. He's cheap and he's extremely dirty all of the cups had lipstick on it!! He wanted to steal the Party Reynolds warmers for his own Buffay for future events. Stay away from this place it's an absolute rip off he'll give you one price quote at the beginning and continuously charge you along the way during the event. Absolutely horrible terrible! read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! I had originally booked it in 2019 for my daughter's party in 2020 - then covid happened! I had touch based with Chris the entire time, and he constantly reassured me that when the time comes, I would be able to have my event here still! And it finally happened in May 2021! The whole event went smoothly! Chris had made sure to handle everything we asked for. During the party, he would continuously check with me to see if we needed anything, or if there were any issues! The food was good and there was plenty of it! I am so glad that we put our trust in Chris! My daughter had a party she will always remember! Thanks again Chris for everything! read more

Just had my bday here 7/9/21. Cris was so accommodating, very helpful and very nice to deal with. Helped me out in customizing my menu within my budget. He recommended things that other places won't do. The place was great, already decorated for you. Easy to load & unload stuff. The staff was very attentive the entire night. The food was great and the serving portion was appropriate. Every table / guest have extra food to take to go which is nice. We had a sit down set up & we were allowed to bring few items/food from the outside which made it so much fun. My family & friends loved the place and planning to have our next event here with few changes to make it look different. Thank you Crystal Banquet for making my birthday a memorable one. read more

Phenomenal Experience! If I could, I would definitely give this restaurant more stars. I was looking for a venue to host my son's baptism. The first reason for my 5 stars rating is working with Chris. From the first time we spoke, Chris was a pleasure to work with because he was extremely professional, responsive, accommodating and patient. It's so hard to find a courteous person in the restaurant industry and Chris was beyond kind and friendly. He really treated my family and I like his own family. I made many requests. Did he make them all happen? Yes! The second reason for the 5 stars is of course the food! It was exceptional!! We are, by heart, Seafood Cove fans but not anymore after we've eaten at this restaurant. The food was not only flavorful and plentiful, pricing was extremely reasonable. There is no better feeling than after hosting an event to hear your family and friends rave about the food and venue. The third reason for the 5 stars is the venue itself. Just simply beautiful and CLEAN! "Crystal" Restaurant & Banquet is really a "gem" in Orange County. I'm such a particular person too and sometimes very hard to please. If I'm raving about this place, you will for sure love it too! Have your next event here! I know disappointment and Crystal Restaurant and Banquet can never go together. read more

Just had my wedding here. It was perfect. The restaurant is super cooperative and friendly. They really listen and try what they can to help. I had 300 guests and it was still spacious. We had room for couple dance and group dance. My wedding came with a 10 course meal. All my guests loved it and there were barely any left over. I'll totally love to come here again for other events. Their pricing was pretty reasonable for great service, great food and great customer experience. read more

Think twice before you book this place and get everything in writing or the owner will ether not honor the contact or try to nickel and dime you. We book security but never saw him/her all night long and we had a homeless person come wandering in. Left over stuff from other events was all around and we had to setup around it. Also, the own was seating in a desk by the dance floor most of the night doing paper work. Most annoying. It seem he was watching us the whole night to see if any mayhem happened. Problems with the electricity cutting in and out. I will not be booking anything here again. -star if I could. read more
