Cryster Asian Diner

My friend and I stopped here on our way back to Texas from visiting friends/family in Nebraska. The Yelp rating made us pause a bit but glad we stopped. The people are super friendly and food is very fresh and delicious. The four star is for the food being served in a takeout container (which I didn't care for that much) but there is a sign when you walk in to warn you of that. If we are ever back this way, we will definitely stop here again.

Best pad Thai in Topeka. Food quality is always good. We use take out so we don't dine in but otherwise very satisfied.

Food was as I remember. Now no table service and food in box lunch style. Nice kids working there but not a dinner go to any more . Rather enjoying table service and a leisurely sit down dinner

The food is so delicious, the service is allways good and the ambience is like any asian restaurant; is good and clean.I eat here every week! The lunch menu is really nice and I also love their sushi's.

I was looking for a decent restaurant closer to home (tired of driving all the way to Wanamaker) and I found this place. It's clean and has a solid menu of a variety Asian food. The Chicken Lo-mein is tasty and the Salmon Roll I has was satisfying. The Salmon Sushi I had on my second visit was fresh and the pieces were quite large. My father-in-law was happy with his selection of Beef and Broccoli. My husband ordered the Honey Chicken and it has quickly become his favorite. Service was very good and our food was prepared and served very timely. Putting this one in my regular rotation, you should too.

My family has eaten at Crysters multiple times due to the convenience of them being closer than any other Chinese restaurant. We really hope it will be good, but it NEVER is. Again we still continue to try them due to convenience as Topeka does not have many good Chinese Restaurants.My experience nearly every time we have eaten here is about the same, they almost always forget something, have given us wrong dishes on a couple of occasions. The food is bland, I have eaten Chinese from all across the states experiencing some really great and really awful ones (it, asian food, is one of my favorite types of cuisine). Crysters is on the list of awful restaurants, this last time was the last straw, the food wasn't appetizing at all. *normally I can just stomach it down as I don't like just throwing money away, but this time it ended in the trash.The main dishes:(I should clarify, I have tried several other main dishes and still haven't been impressed)I ordered twice cooked pork(one of my favorite Sichuan dishes, it smelled and tasted awful almost like old/rotten pork meat was used.The Bulgogi (another of my favorite dishes which is Korean) doesn't even resemble Bulgolgi, it was dry, bitter, and tasted like overcooked unseasoned beef. For the appetizers:the steamed dumplings weren't bad, actually the best part of my meal to be fair. The egg drop soup also was really good, every time i try the crab Rangoon it tastes like a spoonful of cream cheese, they really should relabel it as cheese Rangoon instead of crab. With our purchase of over $40 we get a free appetizer and chose beef won tons which were terrible, the shell which is supposed to be crispy was chewy and not even cooked, its as if they tossed them in a fryer that was too hot and pulled them out too early, the beef inside them was also similar to the Bulgolgi very dry and bland.Again this is a normal, consistant experience for my family and I with this restaurant, I have only now taken reviews as I am done with them and want other people to be aware prior to ordering there.

Not too shabby! The service was great and the red curry was so delicious. It was the first time trying it so we don't have anything to compare it to, but we were blown away. My beef and broccoli was really good, but it just came out cold. The sweet and sour shrimp had a good taste but I personally didn't like how much batter was surrounding it. If we lived out that way, we would most likely try it again!

An excellent choice for a quick pickup dinner! A super convenient location for anyone living North of NoTo. Ordering online was very easy, the only downside is that you can't select 'delivery' as an option there - so you have to call your order in for that. The service was quick and food was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by how good their Alaskan roll is and was even more surprised by how large they are. I can definitely say I recommend Cryster!

Delicious food but they use MSG which is lethal to your brain!!! Wishing they would stop and i would be up there twice a week!! Nice selection tho...

We love their food! Visit weekly! We love the buglia beef and sweet and sour chicken. Great service!
