    Miso soup

    Ribs & fingers combo

    Based on many previous Yelpers, I decided on takeout at Crystal's tonight. It's a small place, but it was hopping when I arrived around 4:30 pm. My order was ready and I was cheerfully greeted and cashed out. From their website pics, I wanted to try the ribs and fingers appetizer combo and the Mongolian beef. I definitely need to come back and eat IN the restaurant. The ribs and fingers didn't look terribly appetizing in the to-go container, but the fingers were deliciously tender and crispy. Eating in would have yielded a better presentation. Maybe I'm not a big fan of Korean ribs. Flavorful, but too thin for me--texture not appealing. But I'm glad I tried them. The Mongolian beef with white rice was the perfect amount of light spice. Very tender beef slices and fresh veggies.

    Some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten... With great fusion options... Outstanding service... I just wish I lived a little bit of closer... My wife bought me here for my birthday and I love this food here. I did not give a five star due to ambience but the casual setting is outstanding.

    Some of the best Thai food in the area! The menu at Crystal's is extensive and has great variety. Food is always fresh - we have never had a bad meal!

    This place really impressed me with what comes out of the kitchen! While waiting for your good you can watch the tv monitors show their complete dishes and when it arrived it looked just like I hoped! So well presented and taste made the experience amazing! Never had a dish that was not perfectly cooked and delicious! So much to choose yet I am a creature of habit and seem to order the same dish! Glad I ate here and glad the kitchen chefs are truly at the top of their game! Keep it up and don't stop preparing wonderful dishes and enough to even bring some home.

    Ok , I had heard all kinds of yummy conversations on Crystals Kitchen so I was ready for a Culinary experience, however I was not inspired by my meal. I'll be honest I'm spoiled by quality Thai food on the west coast so my expectations are high. We ordered 4 different items and all suffered from same thing and that was lack of taste. Normally Thai spices offer a very robust taste but everything from the soup to main dishes was blahhh. Even the sushi was weak sauce. Hell I even used a sauce to try and induce flavor explosion but nothing. I thought my tongue took the day off from tasting but I was wrong cause I tasted my dinner that night. Everything looked great and the help was very attentive but over taste was lacking in my experience.

    Literally some of the best food I've had in NE, and definitely the best asian fusion place I've had. The fact that we can get Chinese foods, Japanese food and Thai food all in one place and it all taste perfect and cohesive is incredible. The staff is very welcoming, patient and kind. Definitely on my list for a must on every trip to NE.

    Really great spot. Good food with a great selection on the menu. There were plenty of options for eating restrictions like vegetarian or gluten free. The staff were friendly and helpful the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. Would definitely go back.

    The Elephant Walk - Rouleaux pork spring rolls

    Came on a Sunday evening and place is busy but seats are easily available. The ambiance is very…read morecozy and Thai so very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Although the serving staff might be so busy as I only see her alone. Came for the dine out dinner menu so I got an app, entree and dessert. The keing D' ananas (cubed porked in a shrimp and fish broth like curry with pineapple) and beef bourguigon was amazing and hands down one of the best in Boston I have tried so far. The entree for mussels and fried pork spring rolls are great but nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, the desserts we got the chocolate truffle cake and that was rich but very delicious. But I personally like a lighter taste so the poached pear with raspberry sorbet was a nice touch to the end! The Thai ice tea was interesting with some tastes of spices so it's not your usual Thai tea. Will look forward to coming back!

    Hey Foodies, it's SJ here with another review! This Friday, my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to…read moretry The Elephant Walk. The reviews looked good and I was excited to try their unique menu... well, let's just say we were very disappointed. First of all the prices are very expensive. I know this is Boston, but $17 for a cocktail is ridiculous! Our server was lovely, he was very kind and had a kind spirit. I was excited to try the "Rouleaux" since they remind me of the eggrolls, my mother learned from her Vietnamese mother-in-law. It was very crispy, which unfortunately is the only good thing I can say about it. The flavor was so off. It's almost as if the ingredients in the Rouleaux were loudly competing for my attention simultaneously! It didn't really melt in your mouth either, it just felt heavy. The other appetizer we ordered was called Dumplings croustillants au poet epics. This was actually worse than first appetizer. I like lemongrass, but MAN the lemongrass was so overpowering. I started to wonder... "is this how it's always made"?! I'm not even exaggerating. Overall, the atmosphere was nice - definitely pricey, and the food isn't worth the hype. Till next eats, SJ
