I stopped going to Crystal Garden a few years ago because the quality of the food nosedived. They're currently under new management and I am happy to report that they are now a lot better. We enjoyed the chicken teriyaki skewers which had a lovely sear. The fried dumplings were equally delicious. Their spring rolls were OK. Some Thai basil would have helped the mostly iceberg lettuce interior. Their menu photos showed shrimp peeking through the wrap, but weren't present in ours. We were fans of the green and pineapple curries, which we enjoyed with chicken. The only disappointment was the fried egg rolls. Ours came soggy with oil. Definitely not delightful. I often order my Chinese based on the quality of the egg roll, and with that in mind, I wouldn't order egg rolls from here. The other items were delicious so I will be a returning customer (as long as I am not craving egg roll). I see they also added cakes and cupcakes to their menu. We haven't tried them (yet) but good to know!

The sweet and sour chicken is overly salted and briny. I used to like this place but something has changed for the worst. Will not order from this place again.

Wow, I was really disappointed with the papaya salad. There was no detectable papaya in it at all and whatever it was dressed in tasted decidedly "off." Two bites and it went into the bin. The chicken satay, which I have ordered in the past and found enjoyable was, this time around, overcooked, tough and cold. The lo mein proved to be just OK, (I wish they offered different spice levels besides "not spicy") and there were only a skimpy few, tiny shrimp in the dish. Again, rather disappointing. I was sad to see they removed their cakes and cupcakes from the menu. Must not have been selling. Crystal Garden showed some encouraging promise earlier when they changed management, but seems to be slipping back into their old, rather mediocre ways.

I didnt get the sweet and sour sauce with the chicken. The boba tea was more of mango iced mil but not horrible. Just not flavorful the wintons were good. the sesame chicken didnt have much flavor to it. I will not eat her again. Definately not worth the price.
