I went there for lunch with 3 other friends.  Food quality was not bad.  As I think they've adjusted for the taste of HK people, the food there was not as sweet as the authentic Shanghai food that one can get in Shanghai.

小籠包:
Pretty good. Lots of soup inside and the skin was not too thick. Personally, I still like Ding Tai Fung's 小籠包 better.

烤麩:
Very good. Not too sweet with big pieces of mushroom too.

朩須肉拉麵:
Pretty good.  I like the texture of the noodles which was pretty chewy.

肴肉:
Very good. Yummy.

鷄火炒飯:
Pretty good.  It's nicely done as the fried rice was dry enough.  In terms of taste, it's just a little bit bland.  Would be perfect with a pinch of salt or soya sauce or some dried ham.

菜肉雲吞:
Not bad. Pretty standard. Nothing special.

高力豆沙:
Pretty good.  Not oily at all which was good. 

There's nothing I can complain about the food. Could have been a perfect place for lunch in Admiralty as pricing was not too high. Unfortunately, service was unbelievably terrible. When we were half way through the lunch, a young waitor in a pair of black plastic-framed glasses came to our table. His uniform was a bit different from the other waitors so maybe he's a supervisor or something. He checked our bill and said, "has your food all arrived as you've to return the table soon." Then my friend said, "your colleague didn't mention that we've to return the table so quickly when we were seated. We still want to order dessert." Then the young supervisor said in a pretty rude attitude, "I'm sure my colleague had already told you when you were seated." Then my friend said, "Your colleague actually didn't mention that." To be honest, we would not argue if the receptionist did tell us to return the table but she really didn't as I was also there. Then the young waitor said in an even more rude manner, "I'm sure my colleague did tell you but I don't want to argue with you any more!" He walked away and brought a few new customers in and arranged them to sit next to us. He then yelled loudly to all of us in a sarcastic tone, “Sorry to make you wait for soooooooo longggggg as other customers are not willing to leave…..” To be honest, we all understood that we were not eating at the Four Seasons Hotel and we would return the table as soon as we finish our food. After all, we all had to head back to work right? But the young supervisor was way too rude especially the yelling in the end. He's so uncivilised. After all, Crystal Jade’s food is pretty good but it just needs to put more effort into training especially when they are opening more and more restaurants. Poor service could ruin the brand very quickly. I think that young supervisor with black plastic-framed glasses is urgently in need of further training before he can assume this supervisor/senior waitor role.
