Better soup dumplings than Din Tai Fung? Worthy respite after a 14 hour flight! Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is an casual dining sit down Chinese restaurant located near the arrivals area at the Hong Kong International Airport. In 2020 we ate at their location in Times Square Shopping center, Causeway Bay and also at Ocean Terminal.  Quality was very similar to the Airport. Established in 1991, they have several styles of restaurants and many locations throughout China, Singapore, and other Asian countries. 9 of these informal restaurants in Hong Kong alone.  There used to be a high end Crystal Jade in San Francisco, but it closed. Crystal Jade was touting their Michelin Bib Gourmand rating.
