Crystal Garden

Service in the restuarant is always good and I do enjoy dining in. Ambience is simple, clean, and well lit. I'm just perplexed as to why this restuarant is hellbent on putting their sticky rice and and their vermicelli noodles in the containers while they're hot?!?! I just ordered a boat noodle to go and got home 15 minutes later ready to assemble my bowl and my noodles are overcooked and stuck together in a large block. This is also happened with sticky rice I ordered from them over the summer. Quality should not change once I leave the restaurant. A complete waste of my $16... I can't even pick the noodles up with chop sticks, they're literally ALL broken.

Lived in Minneapolis through a lot of my adult life, raised my family here but we all moved a few years ago. Back this week visiting family and wanted to visit some of our favorite restaurants. We use to order from Crystal Garden often when we lived here but original owners retired and now under new management. Ordered take out tonight and had to wait about 40 minutes. Order was hot, rice was good but that's where the good ends, chicken cashew had no cashews only peanuts, clear Tom Yum was all broth very little mushrooms and only four shrimp in it which I paid $2.00 extra to have shrimp. Garden sizzling okay but very small portion. We ordered medium spice but everything was no spice at all and my Tom Yum was no spice but extremely salty., almost too salty to eat. I cannot recommend this restaurant anymore, extremely disappointing. We will have to search for a new Asian, Thai restaurant to get takeout next visit.

I'm so sad. This used to be my go to place for Chinese. New ownership and new menu is not for the better unfortunately. I could barely eat the food I ordered it had an off putting taste and it was nothing like what I used to get. Sadly unless things revert I won't be back

CG is now more of a Thai restaurant, with new owners. I'm sorry to see a couple of my favorite items no longer being offered. I was going to go this evening, wanting the curry beef wontons and sesame noodles. All of the low ratings now have put me on hold.

I ordered to pick up. Services was good. Foods was good but to salty and portion are to small. Owner, if you see my review, please consider putting less salt or sauces with to much salt in your dishes. I wish you luck and may your resturant only be better.

Worst egg rolls ever. Dried up and tasteless I want to like this family favorite Very little difference in taste of all dishes.

Very disappointing. Cut corners in preparing meals. The second time ordering here since new ownership. Thought I would give them another chance. The egg rolls were obviously not made in house. Prefabricated. Portions were small. Ordered medium spicy. Total lack of spice. Bland thickened sauce. There are other Asian food places out there with similar prices and are much better. Not going back.

we used to go here all the time before COVID.Now there are new owners we tried the shrimp foo young. first time it was ok. today we ordered take out again and it was bad, like it day old not in a patty but like it was scoped out of a pan.

When new owners take over a business they should have to change the name. This isn't Crystal Garden. This is Crystal Garbage. Ordered chicken chow mein. There were maybe four pieces of chicken smaller than a quarter, and 5,000 prices of soggy celery. Also, no sauces in the bag. No soy sauce. Ordered wontons. Not too bad. Just not the same place. Won't order here again. Also got a Thai dish that wasn't worth writing home about. Back to Bill's Garden.

Update, everyone:Apparently this restaurant is under new ownership.It is HORRIBLE.Ordered two entrees, soup and cream cheese wontons. Everything except one entree was messed up.Even if you say "chicken " four times when ordering, you don't get it.I had to order with a second employee as the first could not complete the order.The wontons tasted as if they were two days old and microwaved.Also, if you order garlic sauce, it doesn't mean that the sauce has garlic in it. What???? An employee actually said this to me.Run. Far away. Don't order food here. Just disgusting in every way.
