Hong Kong Stir Fried Beef Noodle - $13.95 as of 10/2024
Bob L.

I was finally able to revisit this place after ~8 years and I'm happy to report that the quality is just as good as I remember! Items we tried as of 10/2024: - Garlic Beef Crispy Noodle - $12.95 (lunch portion) - Beef was extremely tender and juicy! The crispy noodles combined with the gravy sauce was a stellar combination! Couldn't really taste the garlic but the dish itself was excellent. - Hong Kong Stir Fried Beef Noodle - $13.95 (Lunch portion) - Another fantastic dish. Tender and juicy beef and the soy based sauce that coats the dish is phenomenal! Overall I am happy this place is still kicking and would highly recommend it if you're in the area!

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.

Check In Thai Cuisine - Dumplings

We made the drive out to Middleborough to give Check In Thai Cuisine a try and ended up ordering…read morequite a bit so we could get a good feel for the menu. Overall, we were really happy with the meal and there were a couple of dishes that genuinely stood out. The Samui Fried Rice was probably one of my favorites. You could immediately taste the wok hei. The rice had that smoky, slightly charred flavor that you only really get when fried rice hits a properly hot wok. It makes such a difference compared to fried rice that tastes like it was simply tossed together. The shrimp were a good size, the vegetables still had some texture, and everything was seasoned well without being overly salty. The Pad Gra Paow was another standout for the same reason. Tons of wok hei and a really nice savory basil flavor throughout the dish. I love when you can actually taste that something came straight out of a ripping hot wok, and both this and the fried rice had that quality. Definitely two dishes I would order again. We also tried the Spicy Basil Fried Cod, which came with a generous piece of fried fish and plenty of vegetables. The cod held up nicely against the sauce without becoming completely soggy. We also ordered the Choo Chee Duck, which was rich and flavorful and a nice change from the usual noodle and rice dishes we tend to order at Thai restaurants. The Yum Beef Salad was a nice contrast to everything else. Lots of beef with cucumber and herbs, and the brighter, tangier flavors helped break up some of the heavier dishes. One thing I especially appreciated was how accommodating they were with spice levels. My fiancée grew up eating Hong Kong-style food and her definition of spicy is basically... no spice . Some Thai restaurants say they can make something mild and it still comes out with enough heat that she can't really enjoy it. Check In actually listened. Her food came out genuinely mild without tasting bland, while the dishes we wanted with more heat could still be made accordingly. If you're dining with people who have very different spice tolerances, that's a big plus. And definitely get a Thai iced tea. Sweet, creamy, cold, and exactly what I wanted alongside the spicier and more savory dishes. We finished with the coconut pudding, which was a nice little sweet ending after ordering way too much food. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but it has a cozy, casual feel. Service was friendly, and considering how many different dishes we ordered, everything came out well. Overall, Check In Thai Cuisine is a really solid little Thai spot that would be easy to overlook from the outside. The biggest thing that would bring me back is the wok cooking. That smoky wok hei in the fried rice and gra paow was easily the highlight of the meal. If it were my first visit, I'd start with the Samui Fried Rice, Pad Gra Paow, and a Thai iced tea. Those were the winners for me. We'll definitely be back, especially since we're going to be spending more time around the Plymouth area.

Penang - Hainanese Chicken

Penang in Boston Chinatown is one of the few Malaysian restaurants in the area, and it fills that…read moregap reliably for a cuisine that the city does not have nearly enough of. We walked into a warmly decorated dining room where the staff remained accommodating even during a busy Friday night when the pace naturally slowed a bit. The Hainanese chicken is the dish to build the meal around, earning the most consistent praise for good reason. The chicken came out tender and well seasoned, with a depth of flavor from the poaching process done properly. The rice that accompanied it absorbed enough of the cooking liquid to stand on its own rather than just serving as a base. The curry chicken in particular has a sauce worth working through to the last spoonful, and pairing it with white rice or the coconut rice made the whole bowl feel complete. The roti canai is the starter most people reach for first, and it is worth having alongside the mains, flaky and well made with the curry dipping sauce doing its job. The beef rendang and chow kueh teow rounded out a menu that rewards ordering widely across a table. A few dishes landed on the milder side compared to what a more assertive Malaysian kitchen might deliver, so if you want bolder heat it is worth asking when ordering. The lunch combination sets offer strong value if your schedule allows for a midday visit. For a Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown that delivers on the Hainanese chicken and roti canai, Penang is a solid and much needed option in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately not a fan of Penang anymore - I used to like it a lot. It is truly the only Malaysian…read morerestaurant in the Boston area from my knowledge. I've been fortunate enough to have some good Malaysian food outside of the Boston area as a standard of comparison. Very spacious inside, quick and kind service with a nice ambiance. One dish that I really like here that stands out from the rest is their roti canai appetizer, which comes with a nice piece of flaky roti that you can dip in a small bowl of their chicken curry. I think this is done well and something I would go back for if I were to return. Their Hainanese chicken rice is not too bad either although recent visits the chicken has been quite bony without much meat. However, what I've been disappointed by is that the food has gotten saltier and saltier with every visit for me. I've also had their nasi lemak and char kway teow before but thought they were just ok.
