Our first dim sum experience in Hong Kong was at
Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. They are a Singapore-based chain, where they have received a Michelin Star (they have received several Michelin Bib Gourmand awards in Hong Kong). We went during peak lunch hours, so there was a bit of a wait, but like most other Hong Kong restaurants we dined at, the whole process is very efficient.
You request a table via kiosk. We were the only 5-party request so we thought we'd have a very long wait, but the wait was maybe about 10 minutes. They also have a time limit during the peak hours, so the tables turn pretty quickly.
You order via mobile and the food comes out super fast.

We didn't get charged for the snacks that are automatically delivered to the table, unlike some other places we've been to.

| Drunken Chicken |

| Eggplant |
I loved the Chive Pancake and the Shanghai Fried Rice Cake. Their signature Xiao Long Bao and Pan Fried Buns were great as well. I love eggplant, but the Eggplant dish was served cold, which I didn't really care for.
The Sichuan Dandan Ramen was pretty spicy, and I thought the Drunken Chicken was good.
Highly recommend Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao for great dim sum!
