Got takeout from here the other night. Very, very satisfied. The fresh rolls were good. We loved the sauce. Red Curry shrimp, was fresh and delicious with a good spice. The star of dinner was the drunken chicken. Wow! All for around $30. Glad there's a decent Thai place close. Can't wait to try more dishes.

well ive heard a few good things about this place and final had to give it a try. don't let its shitty strip mall location fool you they are pushing out some tasty food. I walked in on a Tuesday night and every single seat was filled. thankfully the waitress told us to chill out front and she would come get us quickly. we cooled our jets for a few minutes and perused the menu. first opinion, wow its pretty big. almost too big, it made me nervous, a lot of places try to do too many dishes and they all come out mediocre and have few truly special items. we were seated in a few minutes and had waters places in front of us right away. a larger table opened up right next to us after a few minutes and the waitress asked if we would like to move to it. Nice, thank you. I started out with a Malaysian iced coffee wich was excellent, strong and sweet. Me and the girl had hard time choosing but we went with some classic appetizers and rice dishes for entrees. coconut fried chicken fingers and Korean beef ribs were a available as a combo and hard to say no too. Served with some interesting ginger soy sauce the chicken fingers were delicious definitely not frozen. While the kalbi beef was nice and tender it didn't have the ypical zing I usually like from my Korean food, incidently it was one of the very few Korean dishes on the menu. the crab Rangoon were definitely handmade and tasty tho a lil smaller than most are accustomed to. the food came out pretty quick and looked and smelled great. we dug in and there was silence at the table wich is the international sign for everyone enjoying their food.i had the spicy basil chicken rice and the girl had the garlic beef rice. my dish was nice and spicy but not overpowering. you could taste the freshness of all the ingredients. the beef and garlic rice was savory and honestly i literally opened up her leftovers that night and stole a quarter of it out of her lunch bag. fuck it, weed is a hell of a drug i am definitely going back to Crystal to try more of there flavors on their cheaper lunch menus while i sip on some more of that awesome Malaysian ice coffee. wich is only 2.50, and kicks "dunkins deeznuts" ass.

Crystal's Kitchen--This is our review on TripAdvisor.com On New Year's Eve, my husband and I love to stay home and eat some great food! We called early around 3pm; we knew it would be busy. When Kelly answered the phone, she told us that they were not taking any more to go orders because of the volume of orders. This is a very small restaurant in a small strip mall. She suggested that we come in. Because of a sprained ankle, we could not go. After some pleading, Kelly took our order--it was ready on time and it was fabulous! Korean ribs, House combo appetizer, Pad See Yew with chicken, Garlic Beef Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef. Great food, great night! I actually hate writing a great review like this because so many people will now be ordering, but Crystal's Kitchen deserves this review! It is the best! Eventually, they will have to find a bigger place--bigger is not always better. They have a dilemma. You made our New Year's Eve! Thank you! Happy New Year! Thank you to Kelly and all from Crystal's Kitchen. Mike and Jane Cappiello

Excellent Thai and southeast Asian fare. The only weakness is the sushi, as it is just not on par with the other dishes on the menu (or sushi that one can get at a true sushi joint). They don't use msg, and the food's ingredients seem fresh and authentic. They serve some of the best Pad Thai I've eaten, although their Singaporean noodles are a bit on the salty side (would be better if they used a low sodium soy sauce when making those).

Tried this place for takeout tonight. We had the vegetable pad Thai and split it. We asked for it crispy instead of regular. Absolutely fantastic! Also got the shrimp tempura maki. Also fantastic! Each piece was very large with a good rice to filling ratio. We will be eating here again! I only was inside to pick up the food but it looked clean and nicely decorated with a cozy ambiance.

Legitimate, good Asian food in the suburbs. Can stand up to anything in the city. Better than every other option around (Chatta, Sugar Cane, Pattaya). My favorite is Sea World on Fire. The owner and waitstaff are very personable as well.

A teacher of mine told me about this place after I wouldn't shut up about Chatta. Lucky for me, it's right near my house! The food is full of veggies and the quality is great! My favorite thing to get are the coconut chicken fingers. I know it's not as exotic as I should love (and believe me, the other meals I've tried here are great!) but I just love those things! I'm also in love with all of the sauces! Take out is always fast, and eating in is great, too. The location works for me and the people are very nice!

This place is hands down the best Thai food I have had. The food is fresh, the drinks are on point, and the hospitality is unlike no other. Crystal shows confidence in her business, she happily greets and asks for feedback from her guests. She is so inviting, and is a personable owner. It's almost as she makes you part of her family. I can't boost enough of how much of all around great place this is to eat, dine in, or take out. I have recommended this place to all my friends, family and people I never met.

I was so excited to hear Crystal was back and cooking again! I recently had my birthday party here. The entire staff was very accomodating to my party of 13, and I had a great birthday. The chef made me a special dish based on what I like, and it was fantastic! I've never had anything but amazing dishes here, but this is a list of things I've had recently and loved: Appetizer - Hoisen chicken wraps. This is my new favorite food! Wrapped in a crisp lettuce leaf, the flavor and textures just WORK. Special - I had the mango salmon special one day. Not only was it tasty, it was beautiful. The dish came out looking like a fish designed out of the mango salsa. I even had to take a picture of it. Entree - Mango fried rice is my favorite, and my usual go-to. Although whatever I had on my birthday was amazing too! Pad Thai - I travel all over the state looking for GOOD pad thai. I consider it good when I don't need to cover it in peanut sauce for flavor. Prior to Crystal coming back, I had to travel to Plymouth (an hour) for good pad thai. Thankfully, now I can save some gas money to buy more appetizers ;) Speaking of peanut sauce... I'm addicted to hers. I can't lie. I usually get a pint of it. Eat in, take out, or large party, I've never been disappointed. The food is great, the staff is great, the service is great. This is my favorite restaurant, hands down. I would eat here every day if I could.

Delicious! I can not say a bad thing about this place. Yummy Thai/Asian food. Everything is fresh and made to order and they are so nice here even when my husband wants a bunch of substitutions. Try the curry and the coconut fried rice and the beef macadamia and everything else. You won't regret it!

Passing through on our way to Cape Cod... Originally went next door to Zorbas for a quick bite, Old cranky owner... Dirty, dingy place. We left and went next door and WOW! What a surprise... Incredible and affordable menu. Chinese, Japanese and Thai offerings... Large portions, sushi was fresh and delicious. We had Red chicken curry and Hoison chicken wraps.. Both excellent and they even specially made some soba chicken teriyaki for our son. We highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant it rivals some of the best! The service and waiter were friendly and attentive. We will make it here again...

After reading all the great reviews about Crystal's, we decided to give it a try. It is a few miles off the main highway but very easy to find although I was a little apprehensive of its placement in a strip mall but that is pretty common in this area - and there are many a treasure to be found in the strip malls. The restaurant is on the smaller side - very clean and modestly decorated - one large room with a tv featuring various dishes on the wall. So not the fanciest or most romantic of atmospheres. HOWEVER, what they do offer up is amazing food and phenomenal service. From the moment we walked in, smiling and friendly staff who know their product, offer suggestions, and are there to offer great service without hovering over your table. So we (4 of us) really enjoyed the staff, but what we really found amazing was the food. We started with the combo dumpling appetizer (4 pork and 4 crab). They were the perfect starter and you could taste the proteins and the seasoning. The soy-ginger sauce served on the side was perfectly complimentary and flavorful. Get accustomed to that description because EVERYTHING we ate had amazing flavor. We then had soups - two of us had Tom Ka Gai while the other two opted for the beef Pho, which the server offered to bring two bowls to allow them to more easily share - which was appreciated (some places aren't as accommodating). Both offerings were aromatic, chock full of fresh and delicious ingredients, and steaming hot. Our waitress even warned us that the Tom Ka Gai had some ingredients that, while edible, should not necessarily be eaten - which was thoughtful being that it was the first time she had seen us there and didn't know if we would be aware of that. Then the entrees came in these small cast iron pots with lids. As our server lifted each lid, we knew we were in for a special dinner. Again, beautiful presentations, tantalizing aromatics, and properly proportionate ratios of proteins, herbs, spices, vegetables, and starches (even erring on generous for the proteins). We had Basil Chicken (the best item IMHO), Shrimp Pad Thai, Pepper Beef, and Chicken Drunken Noodles. All four dishes were delicious - yes, we are sharers/samplers. Our server kept an eye on us as we enjoyed our meals, filling water glasses (these dishes had some heat without being overwhelming - I had ordered the Pad Thai with some spice too and a side of Peanut Sauce), checking in, and clearing away and boxing up dishes as we completed them. Always friendly. Never intrusive. Prices for dinner were very reasonable $40 for each couple for appetizer, soup, entree and Thai iced teas. So 4 stars because, while each individual dish was great, some of them were not the absolute best I have ever had, close, very close, but not the absolute best (this does not apply to the Basil Chicken which I thought was amazing). The ambiance was lacking but perhaps that allows the prices to remain reasonable. But for food and service, this is my new place to beat in Southern Mass.

Let's start off with why I decided to come here. I came because my boyfriend and I were visiting raynham flea and we wanted to grab a bite to eat. It was amazing to us that this restaurant had 42 reviews and still 5 stars. To start the service is awesome. These people really know the meaning of customer service. Not the fake customer service you get at some restaurants, but they really give you a good vibe. Best customer service I have had at a restaurant. For example, my boyfriend was eating a dish that was spicy and when they heard him cough, they came right away without us asking or anything and asked if it was too spicy and if it is they could take it back and tone it down. Very caring. The food, the menu is overwhelming!!!! But there are sooooo sooo many choices. & it is all authentic Asian food too. I had a hard time picking!!! But overall everything was as good if not better than rumored on yelp!

UPDATED: Crystal is the former owner of the chatta box when it was AMAZING! Lately it's been on the decline (since she left in my opinion). I have yet to try this restaurant however I am a huge fan of Crystal and her cuisine. I'm rating this now, before I try it, with how I would rate Crystal when I've tried her cooking before. Once I attend in person I'll update this review accordingly. I finally was able to make it over to Crystal's and it was everything I remembered and more!!! Not only was the food that nostalgic flavors of my teen years but the service was just as great as I remember when she was at the Chatta Box. I got a personal call from Crystal last night, with whom I have a great repoire and have not spoken to in ten years, only to feel like no time was past. Not only did Crystal remember me, one of her waitresses teaching me how to use chopsticks at sixteen (Kelly), she also remembered what I ordered and wanted to know if it met my expectations. Let me say this: hands down you would be a fool not to give this place a try and experience the superior cuisine they offer, impeccable service and overall inviting ambiance of the restaurant. I'll be going in tonight to give Miss Crystal and Kelly a big hug for their return to excellence and, of course, to enjoy that incredible food I dream about so much. If you're in the Bridgewater area check out this place, you will not regret it...and, if for some strange reason you do, tell them! Crystal has always been committed to customer satisfaction and improving on her culinary prowess - something that was evident in her years at the Chatta Box. My only request would be to add achat to the menu. Perhaps I missed it but this has been a long time favorite of mine for years!

Crystal's Kitchen serves an awesome variety of Thai food, and the quality can't get any better. Crystal's Pad Thai is my all time favorite, and I can't imagine eating it elsewhere ever again. I have also tried a butternut squash soup here that was a special for that day and it was AMAZING!!! I can't wait to come back and try something new.

Went there tonight with my husband for our anniversary. I have to say that even though we read the reviews here about how good this place was, I was still very pleasantly surprised! The wait staff are so friendly it's almost like you are a friend invited to their home for dinner!! Our waiter asked if we had come in for a late valentine's day thing, and when we replied that it was actually our anniversary the owner sent over a dessert! The sweetest things in life are the ones you least expect out of pure courtesy. We tried a fairly eclectic assortment, chicken satay appetizer, Philadelphia roll, Malaysian beef rendang, Mongolian beef.... Incredible taste, great service and not crazy expensive either, No complaints! We definitely will be re-visiting

My friend and I had dinner at Crystal's Kitchen a week ago for the first time. If I lived closer, I would definitely be there often! Great, quick service, fair prices, and delicious food! They have lots of vegetarian options, which was great for me, and the server was very careful in making sure he got my friend's "gluten-free" order correct -- he also asked me if I wanted mine gluten-free. It seemed possible to change just about any order to vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free. She got the Tom-Ka Gai soup and the Beef Macadamia and I got Cashew Tofu with sticky rice (you can choose between sticky, white, or brown). It was hard to decide what to get... So many options! They all sounded amazing. We were both very impressed with our choices. The ginger jasmine tea was also delicious!

I'm an old fan of the Chatta Box over in Bridgewater. Crystal's Kitchen is a lot better. Shrimp were delicious and tasted fresh. This will be my go to place for Thai food. I've only tried a few things on the menu and everything has been amazing so far. Thanks Crystal's Kitchen!!

My wife and I love good food, and when we find a place we like, we tend to go there over and over until we've tried a good sampling of their dishes. We tried Crystal's based on the reviews here on Yelp, which all seem like rave reviews. They are not lying - we have been here twice now and have gotten 4 different dishes, and they have all been incredible. I've eaten a ton of Thai food because I used to live in Cambridge (Harvard Square) and work right next to China Town in Boston, so I really appreciate good spicey Asian cuisine, and yet Crystal's is probably the best noodle dishes I've ever had, including an Udon place I went to in Tokyo. It's that good! If you like Asian food, and noodles in particular, you definitely need to check out Crystal's. The Drunken Noodle and Korean Noodle are to die for!

Matthew W.
Crystal was the original owner of the Chatta Box. When she left us, so did her dedication to the food. Chatta Box has never been as good as when she owned it. Well now she's back and better than ever. It was a breath of fresh air to have her back in Mass and back in her kitchen. Her food is fresh, flavorful, and always an adventure to try new dishes. If you're looking for standard American Asian cuisine, this is not the place for you. If you love food, then you absolutely need to visit Crystal's Kitchen. She loves to cook, she takes pride in her recipes, and the end product really reflects that. Welcome back Crystal, you were really missed.

Wow! Amazingly Delicious. The black pepper beef was fantastic amongst all the other items we ate. The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming but makes you want to try everything.

Huge fan of the other local thai place but this place in 2 minutes from my house so thought I would give it a try! Service was fast and friendly-- so first plus. There were two different groups eating in, which seemed normal for this type of place on a Thursday evening. Got a pad thai dish and it was great! Enough for two meals! Looking forward to checking it out again!

As others have stated, if you like the Chatta Box, you'll love Crystal's Kitchen, as Crystal is the original owner. Excellent quality - there is very little from the menu that I haven't enjoyed (the only thing that comes to mind is the pho, which is very underwhelming).

Dave B.
Decided to try this place last Sat evening with my wife and kids. We were looking for Thai food and the Yelp reviews were great. I got the Mango Chicken, one of us got Chicken Teriyaki, Pad Thai and another dish along with chicken Satay. We all loved it even the Pad Thai which I look as a good basic test of a Thai restaurant. This place has a very long menu so it took us quite a while to decide what to get - no regrets in our choices although gives us lots of options for next time! Service was also good. The Mango Iced Tea was really good. 5 stars all the way.

The food and service were excellent! By far best Thai food around. My boyfriend and I shared the chicken satay for an appetizer. The chicken tasted really fresh and the peanut sauce served with it was really tasty. I got the pineapple fried rice. The portion was huge and every part of it was delicious. My boyfriend got the drunken noodles. He said the spice was just right and he would definitely get it again. For dessert I got the fried banana and my boyfriend got the bread pudding. Both were excellent but I may be ordering the bread pudding next time. Our waitress was incredibly nice. She made sure all of our questions were answered, stroke up friendly conversation and offered suggestions for our next visit. We drove from Taunton and it was well worth the drive. We will definitely be coming back.

If you're looking for a great alternative to the typical heavy MSG-laiden Asian fare, check out this place. Portions are hearty. Prices are reasonable. Service is outstanding. Establishment is immaculate. We eat out at least 4 time a week and our standards are high. This place is a definite winner.

Joseph C.
This place is great--one of the stars being for the location, because you don't expect an asian restaurant of this quality in this location. I also tend to shy away from restaurants that attempt to cover such a wide swathe through Asia (although the focus is on Malaysian and Thai, they have Japanese, Korean, and Chinese plates), but Crystal's seems to do a good job with virtually everything. My favorite is the Yum Nua. Nice folks, too.

I've recently noticed Crystal's Kitchen at the intersection of Rte. 106 and 28 in West Bridgewater. Not sure how long they have been open. Checked to see if there was a Yelp review but found nothing. We ordered takeout tonight including Bangkok Rolls, Chicken Satay, and Garlic Beef Fried Rice. Our to go order was ready promptly, service was pleasant. The dine in table area looked like a good option if you prefer to eat there. Everything was prepared with care, and delicious. The menu was extensive offering it seemed well beyond what was posted online. I hope Crystal's does well. I am looking forward to many future visits and really pleased to have this kind of great food in our area.

I really can't say enough about Crystal's. I come here pretty regularly with my husband and never had a dish we didn't like. I love that you can add a cup of soup and mini appetizer for only $2.95! The Crab Rangoon is made purse style and seasoned perfectly. They have more flavor to them than just crab and cream cheese. Veggie tofu soup is loaded with yummy cabbage, carrot, and mushroom and the broth is delicious. The staff is awesome too. Crystal is a wonderfully nice, funny lady. Kelly always remembers us, she not only know us by name but also never fails to compliment a new hair cut or style. Love her! If you live within driving distance and haven't been to Crystal's, you are missing out big time.

The food is very good.here . We got takeout from here and I have nothing bad to say about it. The ingredients ts were fresh and just the right combination of spices...tasted great. The place itself is small but enough you probably won't have to wait very long, if at all. I can't really speak for the service cause but when I picked up my order they were very friendly. I will definitely be back.

I couldn't help myself when I saw a five-star thai place near my hotel. I placed an order for achat, fresh rolls, and bamboo duck. The service on the phone and when I picked up the order was excellent. The young lady was friendly, informative, and quick. I like anything pickled, and I love kimchee, so I thought the achat would be something interesting and new. It's a good cold side type of dish, but I would have liked it to be stronger in flavor....more pickle and more spice! The fresh rolls and the duck were both very good. They had lots of flavor, and it was obvious that the ingredients were extremely fresh. On top of that, the serving sizes were huge, particularly the duck.

Crystal is an amazing chef. Her fusion food is like none other. Her traditional dishes are spot on delicious. The HUGE menu makes it a little difficult to decide sometimes. But over all it can please just about anyone that loves asian cuisine. My absolute favorite dish is the pad see yew with beef. She special orders the fresh wide, flat rice noodles. So many places out there don't take the time to source these noodles. Instead they use dried. So I am never angry nor disappointed when she occasionally runs out (only twice in over 2 years). If you've ever had fresh pasta as opposed to dried in an Italian restaurant, you'll understand what I mean. Other favorites, her cashew chicken. It is phenomenal! The balsamic vinegar in the dish reminds me of Chinese black vinegar. But it's used perfectly...not too acidic. Her Mongolian beef (I like mine with extra mushrooms and broccoli added) is soul satisfying. The pad Thai is spot on balanced and delicious with huge shrimp. Lastly, the curry laksa is thick and my type of comfort food on a rainy day. I could go on and on, but I digress. My advice, go there and talk to her. She is very humble and friendly, yet passionate about her craft. Tell her what flavors or ingredients you like and let her suggest something new to try. I've been a chef for over 25 years. And I can usually figure out how many dishes are created and with what flavor profiles. I don't know how she comes up with her brilliant fusion ideas. I can only say that she has an incredible palate and I would LOVE to pick her brain. Thank you for your hard work and dedication Crystal.

What a special place! Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. Our waitress was so pleasant and patient and explained the dishes thoroughly. I ordered the Pad See Yew to try the fresh homemade pasta and it was Yummy. The Satay chicken and Singapore noodles were also very good. Can't wait to come back here! I want to try every single thing on the menu!!

Got take out here even though I had drive a bit out of the way, not much to offer in way of take out in bridgewater. My family's order consider consider very different things such as sushi oriental chicken wraps hot and sour soup coconut chicken appetizers and I'm happy to report that all items were hot fresh and delicious. Well worth the price will eat there again.

Kendra E.
My Order: Beef Rendang, Fried Ice Cream PROS: - Friendly and attentive service! Always checked up if everything was good and filled my water without me asking. - Lunch specials are cheaper and end by 3PM - Gluten-free and vegetable options are available - Brown rice is an option - Beef Rendang comes in a bowl with a side of rice. Portion size was just right. I could not finish the beef rendang. The meat was tender and the dish was spiced just right. - Fried ice cream came with a mountain full of whip cream with a cherry on top. Crispy on the outside, sweet vanilla ice cream in the inside. It's the best fried ice cream I have ever eaten. - Lots of parking available CONS: - Wish this was in California! Overall, this place is legit when it comes to Asian fusion. One of the best Asian restaurants I have been to and comparable to the standards back in Southern California. Not to mention, their friendly demeanor and excellent customer service.

Crystals Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always freshly prepared. I'm partial to the Mango Chicken. It is delicious! When eating in, I always order a Thai Ice Tea. I'm surprised how many people never heard of this. It's non-alcoholic, and can sooth the spiciness of the food as you are eating it, enabling you to eat even more spicy food! As mentioned in other reviews, Crystal was formerly with the Chatta Box (which is also very good.). It's conveniently located in a small shopping plaza at the intersection of Routes 106 and 28.

So.... I would like to start by saying, THANK YOU YELP! We came to Raynham Mass. To check out Cape Cod for the 4th of July weekend. I couldn't have possibly imagined that we would find one of the best meals ever at a JapThaiMalay Fusion Restaurant in Massachusetts! It was absolutely phenomenal! The coconut chicken fingers rock! So does the crazy roll things as apps. The main courses were all exceptional as well! I just can't imagine that by me mentioning an one item is going to be better than the next, you can just tell by the food the 4 of us ordered that there can't possibly be a bad choice on that menu! Please believe the reviews, and GO! I write this as I am laying on my bed in the hotel, suffering from a self induced food coma... I may possibly miss the 4th of July and just stay in my room with the doggy bag of goodies we left with! Enjoy.

Thank the gods for Crystal's Kitchen. After moving to Bridgewater from Quincy, the Asian food capital of MA, I was very nervous about my future ability to obtain Asian food of even a similar quality. Crystal has alleviated most of my fears (still need to find a good sushi restaurant). Whether you're eating in or taking out, you can't go wrong. All the staff are friendly, the food is delicious and their selection is expansive. I only have 2 complaints: the wonton soup leaves a little something to be desired, and they do not give enough cripsy noodles for those dishes. They do however get points for allowing you to purchase extra noodles as well as peanut sauce.

It's almost impossible for me to say what my favorite is over here because everything I've tried is so good. If I had to give one word about the food, I would say it's so "fresh". I love many of the stir fried noodle dishes like Pad Thai, Penang Char, Hokkien Mee, Mee Siam, and my new favorite is the Suki in the pot. The fried rice is so good too.. spicy basil fried rice, malaysian fried rice, oh and the entree dish that I'm in love with is ginger pork with dry sherry...I can just go on and on...

Ok. So. My buddies love this place. The taste, the presentation,everything. I think most people who like Asian food, will like Crystal's. My tastes run vegan, low sodium, and no added sweeteners. The food tasted highly flavored with both sodium and sweetener. I don't know absolutely what the ingredients were, but that's what it tasted like to me. I'd come back, but probably only order off the side dishes.

This place deserves all of their five star reviews. Everything is fresh and delicious. Sushi is some of the best that I have had. Extensive menu with something for everyone. Don't let the outside appearance fool you. I drove past this location for a long time not realizing that they were here. Found on Yelp and sure glad that I did.

Have been here several times and the food is always superb. Wait staff friendly, fast and attentive. One time Sam accidentally dropped the ice cream desert on my dad and he offered to pay the dry cleaning bill! We appreciated his sincere apology. Crystal joked about firing him. Warm atmosphere that always makes us feel welcome. So many things on the menu I am sure I won't live long enough to try all of them. Will be back again and again and again.

Crystal's kitchen is amazing. I can never come here without getting the crab rangoon as an appetizer and so far I love the garlic beef and the Indonesian fried rice. they also have a great vegetarian and gluten free selection.

Went for chicken pho and ended up with beef pho with chicken pieces. Not very good. Quick thai spot in the area but next time will skip on the soup.

I love this place , it's such a hidden gem. staff are so polite and give off a very homey vibe ... I go about 3-4 times a month my fav. crazy roll and the satay chicken along with the pineapple fried rice . recommend this to anyone .
Maybe it was an off night. The food was OK, the service was fair and my wife had a small issue with an appetizer and it seemed the wait staff couldn't care less. We have had very good Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian. This "Asian fusion" was not nearly as good as any of them.

Saw this on Yelp a couple months ago. Went there for my fourth time today and I had to write a review. Their food is amazing! For my first three visits I had the Pho, which was garnished with the freshest basil and cilantro and the broth is rich and so tasty. Today I tried the scallion pancakes and Curry soup. Can you say YUM! The waiter told me their scallion pancakes were more doughy than others but I have to say they were so much more flavorful than other places as they were stuffed with scallions. The curry soup was the best soup I have ever had! Creamy, spicy and topped with fresh bean sprouts and scallions. The wait staff are so friendly and accommodating!!! I even overheard a waitress telling a customer the last time she was there they made a mistake and overcharged her for an iced tea. She had been there over 2 months ago and they not only remembered her, they refunded her money. Now that is service at its finest. This is one of my favorite places. I just need more than one client in the area so I can go everyday!!

I ordered the red curry chicken here and it was fantastic. What a great little spot for grabbing lunch. The lunch specials are a solid deal and the staff are great. Again the flavor in the curry was fantastic!

Billy B.
The flavors are great and the staff is always friendly. It's a small place and suffers from the strip mall Chinese restaurant exterior look. It's easy to dismiss for this reason, and I didn't go here for a long time for that reason. I was really surprised and impressed the first time I ate here. I have lived in SE Asia for a few years in the past and this is not 100% authentic. However I know getting some of the vegetables and proteins from that region is difficult and expensive so they get forgiven for a lot. They do a lot with what they have to work with.

Was up in MA to watch my nephews swim meet. After a long day watching we were hungry. Looked up places nearby to eat on YELP and this place popped up. I saw it had a good 4.5 rating for 96 reviews and gave it a try. Glad we did. We also had a large party of 11. Took us no problem. Service was great, staff friendly. If I'm this area again, I know where I'll be eating. Highly recommend eating here.

I had a great meal at this cozy place several days ago and I absolutely loved loved it. The food is legit, especially Penang Char Noodle dish. Penang Char is a celebrated dish that pays homage to Malaysian cuisine. Another dish that's deemed unique is Salmon Chilli basil. It is not just a simple basil sauce but it's Crystal's original creation with special mix of ingredients that nails it. Great ambience, great food, and great service. It's the place to be

I am a serious critic when it comes to Thai food and I was blown away with the quality of food and service at Crystal's Kitchen! We went a little out of our way to eat there and it was well worth it. We ordered the tofu vegetable fritter which was good, but the appetizer that I would definitely go back for, was the crazy roll! It is like one of the most delicious nime chows you will ever have, lightly panko breaded and deep fried. It is served with a nice sweet cucumber, mint sauce. I eat mostly vegetarian, with a little bit if seafood, because I know that it's pretty unavoidable when you are as addicted to Thai food as I am. Our server, Kelly, was so awesome and gave us a few suggestions which I appreciated. I absolutely love, LOVE flat, wide rice noodles! The dish we had was the Hong Kong Stir Fried Beef Noodle dish without the beef and with assorted stir fried veggies & tofu!! I really recommend this restaurant and to top it off, it is a very clean establishment. I have found a new favorite place to dine. Thank you!

Michael C.
This is simply the best around. Everything is so fresh and the smells coming from the kitchen are out of this world. The staff is friendly and work together to expedite service. My favorite is the Hong Kong Beef Noodle and the Shanghai Dumplings. Can't say enough about the quality of food. Beats the best I have had by a good margin.

Food is good, huge menu, parking is sufficient. Interior space is very small, it's as if the people eating near you are at the same table. Other than the lack of private dinning, will come back here again.

Looking at the menu, this place served a smorgasbord of Asian cuisine. Though it's a Thai restaurant, it also had little bit of Japanese here, Chinese there, Korean near the top, Malaysian in the middle :) I was a bit of a skeptic, as no restaurant could possibly be good at all of these ethnic cuisines. I was prepared for an average meal. For the appetizer, I tried their version of Mayonnaise/Honey Walnut Shrimp, which was decent. I guess it's hard not to butcher this dish. If you're not accustomed to asian food, you'll definintely enjoy this dish. For those who know what this dish is supposed to taste like, stay away. Since it seemed that the owner(s) was/were Thai, I satisfied my appetite with the Malaysian Pad Thai, which was basically Pad Thai with the thinner (singapore) noodles. It tasted really good after the first few bites, but I was craving for something a bit more refreshing afterwards, as the flavor started getting bland (just salt and sugar), yet the content remained too heavy. You know what they say: Jack of all trades, but master of None!

Ji Won K.
wow- the food is just awesome!!! We were one of the first customers in and by the time we were leaving there were several groups of people waiting for a table. The food was really good and service was excellent... They have a little bit of everything on the menu from typical Thai food to Korean Galbi....will definitely stop by again if in the area.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade as the only reason we stopped in for lunch/dinner was because of the excessively high ratings. First, we must say that we loved that it was warm and clean. The menu was extensive and featured both lunch and dinner prices/portions. I had the Mongolian beef with mushrooms and tons of other veggies served with jasmine rice. I asked for fried rice and would even pay the difference, but there are no substitutions...really....the only reason I stopped is because I was craving a small serving of fried rices with my Mongolian beef. Perhaps, if I would have satisfied my craving, my rating would be five start. However, I tasted my husband's plate terryaki chicken combo plate and it was dry and pointless...again we asked for a small portion of tempera (as most Japanese restaurants serve tempera with this sort of combo teryaki plate) but they could not accommodate...bummer...because my husband was craving tempura with his meal. So again, you see the two star rating. If I lived in the area, I would give this restaurant another try, but for now I don't think I will ever go back, even when i am visiting the area.

One word. "Fantastic". Working way thru menu. Hostess suggested new dish. Pad see yew. Omg. Delilah. Awesome wide noodle dish with chicken or shrimp. Or both like I got. Everything fresh. Service great. Ask for suggestions if u don't know Thai or Malaysian. Won't go wrong.

Jean G.
First time here (had high hopes) tried the shrimp pad thai and wonton soup. The shrimp pad thai was not very good and had these weird fried tofu pieces which were very unappealing which did not help. Did not care for the dish in general. The wonton soup was just barely average.

Man Oh Man! Where do I start? Maybe by saying thank you Yelp and Yelp reviewers because without you I would never have found this gem! Crystal's Kitchen is a small yet cozy, clean and welcoming restaurant located in an intersection strip mall in West Bridgewater. I have now been here on two lunch break occasions and the staff is friendly and eager to help with any questions and assuring that you are satisfied with your meal. The food is only made with the freshest ingredients and seasoned perfectly. If you like bland food then this is not your place. Beverages: Thai Iced Tea- a classic! Malaysian Iced Coffee- The MOST amazing iced coffee experience I've ever had in my life.. and that's saying a lot coming from a self proclaimed coffee addict. This stuff is no joke. Intense coffee flavor balanced by sweetness, not sure what exactly it is, sweetened condensed milk? Who cares, I just know that I need more of this stuff in my life! Meals: (I might be going through a mango phase at the moment) Tom Ka Gai Soup- Best I've ever had, the chicken was tender, no dryness and the soup was perfectly seasoned, lots of lime and cilantro flavor. Mango Fried Rice- Again, tender juicy pieces of chicken, no dryness in the rice, tossed with chunks of mango, egg, cranberries and peas. Just the right balance of sweet and savory. Mango Stir Fried Chicken- All fresh ingredients, peppers, chicken, mango with a side of rice. Mongolian Beef- This is what my dad ordered, I will definitely come back for this. The beef was deliciously seasoned. Tempura Udon Noodle Soup- Also another item my dad ordered. This is a meal in itself. Juicy tempura fried shrimp in a noodle broth. Yum. The shrimp was perfect. If I could come here every day for lunch I would!

Simply the best Thai food I've ever had! Been a loyal patron to Chatta Box, but feel this will be my new thai home! They really should take over Yangtze down the street and they would have a bar and more dining area. Not a question they could fill it!

I am a huge fan of Crystal's. The staff is so friendly and communicative. Their food is great and reasonably priced with large portions. I often order to go and theyre fast and always have my food ready and waiting. I love sushi and am very picky where I will eat it from but highly recommend Crystal's!

YUM YUM YUM!! The food is just fresh and delicious. I can't say I've ever eaten anything not tasty from here. Give the hot ginger jasmine tea a try and the Thai dirty fried brown rice a whirl...AMAZING!!! This place is small and gets packed full of people quick, so it might be a wait. However, the wait is so worth it!

I am rarely moved to write reviews these days as there are so many well written insightful and detailed reviews that drive my decision to choose the restaurant. This is no exception so I'll thank and confirm the wonderfully accurate 4 & 5 star reviews that expound on the food and it's staff. They're 110% right. I came out of my way for this place and will do it again. Do the same and you'll love it. I had 2 portions of the Achat, a Malaysian kimchi, one after the Main course of Malaysian beef rendang because it was so good. The beef dish was a wonderful curry with a coconut rice that brought out the flavor. Try both and you won't be disappointed.
(5)
Jesse M.
What a delicious treat. The massaman curry is delicious and the pad thai a little dry but not overly sour. We've only done takeout but each time it has been perfect. The House appetizers are amazing. I believe their crab rangoon is handmade and not delivered frozen in a box. Need a little sushi with your meal? They have that, too. Our daughter loves having a sushi roll with dinner and this place serves it up with delicious style.

Foodie M.
I hate to share this review because I am worried such great reviews will eventually make this place crowded and lower their quality of food even though they deserve more people. This is our favorite Thai and sushi place, first of all never been to a place where they are that nice and polite. The food is amazing and out of this world. The best pad see eew, best Indonesian fried rice, really good chicken satay. The food is cook to perfection, the pad see eew has the right amount or caramelization which tells me they are using very high heat in a well seasoned wok. Just perfect, it's far for us to get there but we still make the trip. This place has better Thai food than anywhere we had in Boston or greater Boston area north and southern

Go here. Now. I'm serious. Dinner last night was amazing and the leftovers I just finished for lunch made me wish I had ordered more. Crystal is some kind of miracle worker because there were three miraculous occurrences last night. First, my non-adventurous parents recommended this place, which is a miracle in and of itself because they don't really do "ethnic" food. Italian is about as out there as they'll go. My dad has said he doesn't like Thai food or anything spicy. Well, Crystal has made a believer out of my picky parents and I'm so glad their horizons have been broadened or I never would have known about this place! My mom ordered a combo meal so she got 3 small veggie rolls and egg drop soup to start. The veggie rolls were decent. The egg drop soup was SO GOOD, you guys! I got to have a few bites and was really regretting not ordering it myself. Next time. So, usually when I'm eating Thai food I either order panang curry, pad Thai, pad see ew, or massaman curry. Those are my go-to dishes that I know I'll love. I guess I was feeling inspired by my parents stepping outside of the box so I went crazy and ordered the drunken noodles. Great choice, me! It was medium spicy and I thought it had a really good kick to it. Even my non-spicy-eating dad liked it! Miracle #2. It was delicious. My dad got garlic beef crispy noodle something or other and evidently he loved it because he ate the whole bowl, which was a lottttt of food. The husb got massaman curry, and my dad, who "doesn't like curry," tried it and declared, "that's delicious! I'm ordering that next time!" Miracle #3. I loved the addition of pineapple in the curry. Really good. My mom ordered coconut fried rice with chicken for the entree. She loved it, my dad loved it, heck we all loved it. Crystal, you know how to make some amazing food. I also should note that this place is not just Thai, there is also Malaysian food and Japanese! The menu is extensive and I need to go back and try everything. Service was great, too! Highly recommend this place to everyone, as my dad has clearly shown that even the pickiest of old white guys can enjoy Thai too.

I could eat here every day!! The drinks are great the service is great, the food is amazing. They are slammed on Fri and Sat night so tough to get a table. Just went on Sat and brought friends who have never been, they loved it as well. Just started going since the weather got warm, but can't wait to work my way through the soup menu once the weather is cold. Hubby loves the sushi and the tv showing the food so he knows what he is getting.

Based on previous Yelp reviews, we stopped at Crystal's Kitchen on our way home from Cape Cod. Good decision! Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and informed. The meals flavorful and a delight to look at. Entrees were Basil Seafood and Massaman Curry; appetizers were Chicken Larb and Dumpling Combo. Seasoning was deftly handled, adjusted to the specifications of each diner. Excellent value.

Got takeout from here the other night. Very, very satisfied. The fresh rolls were good. We loved the sauce. Red Curry shrimp, was fresh and delicious with a good spice. The star of dinner was the drunken chicken. Wow! All for around $30. Glad there's a decent Thai place close. Can't wait to try more dishes.

well ive heard a few good things about this place and final had to give it a try. don't let its shitty strip mall location fool you they are pushing out some tasty food. I walked in on a Tuesday night and every single seat was filled. thankfully the waitress told us to chill out front and she would come get us quickly. we cooled our jets for a few minutes and perused the menu. first opinion, wow its pretty big. almost too big, it made me nervous, a lot of places try to do too many dishes and they all come out mediocre and have few truly special items. we were seated in a few minutes and had waters places in front of us right away. a larger table opened up right next to us after a few minutes and the waitress asked if we would like to move to it. Nice, thank you. I started out with a Malaysian iced coffee wich was excellent, strong and sweet. Me and the girl had hard time choosing but we went with some classic appetizers and rice dishes for entrees. coconut fried chicken fingers and Korean beef ribs were a available as a combo and hard to say no too. Served with some interesting ginger soy sauce the chicken fingers were delicious definitely not frozen. While the kalbi beef was nice and tender it didn't have the ypical zing I usually like from my Korean food, incidently it was one of the very few Korean dishes on the menu. the crab Rangoon were definitely handmade and tasty tho a lil smaller than most are accustomed to. the food came out pretty quick and looked and smelled great. we dug in and there was silence at the table wich is the international sign for everyone enjoying their food.i had the spicy basil chicken rice and the girl had the garlic beef rice. my dish was nice and spicy but not overpowering. you could taste the freshness of all the ingredients. the beef and garlic rice was savory and honestly i literally opened up her leftovers that night and stole a quarter of it out of her lunch bag. fuck it, weed is a hell of a drug i am definitely going back to Crystal to try more of there flavors on their cheaper lunch menus while i sip on some more of that awesome Malaysian ice coffee. wich is only 2.50, and kicks "dunkins deeznuts" ass.

Crystal's Kitchen--This is our review on TripAdvisor.com On New Year's Eve, my husband and I love to stay home and eat some great food! We called early around 3pm; we knew it would be busy. When Kelly answered the phone, she told us that they were not taking any more to go orders because of the volume of orders. This is a very small restaurant in a small strip mall. She suggested that we come in. Because of a sprained ankle, we could not go. After some pleading, Kelly took our order--it was ready on time and it was fabulous! Korean ribs, House combo appetizer, Pad See Yew with chicken, Garlic Beef Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef. Great food, great night! I actually hate writing a great review like this because so many people will now be ordering, but Crystal's Kitchen deserves this review! It is the best! Eventually, they will have to find a bigger place--bigger is not always better. They have a dilemma. You made our New Year's Eve! Thank you! Happy New Year! Thank you to Kelly and all from Crystal's Kitchen. Mike and Jane Cappiello
(5)Clark M.
Excellent Thai and southeast Asian fare. The only weakness is the sushi, as it is just not on par with the other dishes on the menu (or sushi that one can get at a true sushi joint). They don't use msg, and the food's ingredients seem fresh and authentic. They serve some of the best Pad Thai I've eaten, although their Singaporean noodles are a bit on the salty side (would be better if they used a low sodium soy sauce when making those).
(4)T B.
Wow! Very impressed by our meal here. Very fresh food and timely service. We will be back for sure.
(5)Jill E.
Tried this place for takeout tonight. We had the vegetable pad Thai and split it. We asked for it crispy instead of regular. Absolutely fantastic! Also got the shrimp tempura maki. Also fantastic! Each piece was very large with a good rice to filling ratio. We will be eating here again! I only was inside to pick up the food but it looked clean and nicely decorated with a cozy ambiance.

Legitimate, good Asian food in the suburbs. Can stand up to anything in the city. Better than every other option around (Chatta, Sugar Cane, Pattaya). My favorite is Sea World on Fire. The owner and waitstaff are very personable as well.

A teacher of mine told me about this place after I wouldn't shut up about Chatta. Lucky for me, it's right near my house! The food is full of veggies and the quality is great! My favorite thing to get are the coconut chicken fingers. I know it's not as exotic as I should love (and believe me, the other meals I've tried here are great!) but I just love those things! I'm also in love with all of the sauces! Take out is always fast, and eating in is great, too. The location works for me and the people are very nice!
(5)Tim C.
This place is hands down the best Thai food I have had. The food is fresh, the drinks are on point, and the hospitality is unlike no other. Crystal shows confidence in her business, she happily greets and asks for feedback from her guests. She is so inviting, and is a personable owner. It's almost as she makes you part of her family. I can't boost enough of how much of all around great place this is to eat, dine in, or take out. I have recommended this place to all my friends, family and people I never met.
(5)Angela W.
I was so excited to hear Crystal was back and cooking again! I recently had my birthday party here. The entire staff was very accomodating to my party of 13, and I had a great birthday. The chef made me a special dish based on what I like, and it was fantastic! I've never had anything but amazing dishes here, but this is a list of things I've had recently and loved: Appetizer - Hoisen chicken wraps. This is my new favorite food! Wrapped in a crisp lettuce leaf, the flavor and textures just WORK. Special - I had the mango salmon special one day. Not only was it tasty, it was beautiful. The dish came out looking like a fish designed out of the mango salsa. I even had to take a picture of it. Entree - Mango fried rice is my favorite, and my usual go-to. Although whatever I had on my birthday was amazing too! Pad Thai - I travel all over the state looking for GOOD pad thai. I consider it good when I don't need to cover it in peanut sauce for flavor. Prior to Crystal coming back, I had to travel to Plymouth (an hour) for good pad thai. Thankfully, now I can save some gas money to buy more appetizers ;) Speaking of peanut sauce... I'm addicted to hers. I can't lie. I usually get a pint of it. Eat in, take out, or large party, I've never been disappointed. The food is great, the staff is great, the service is great. This is my favorite restaurant, hands down. I would eat here every day if I could.
(5)Dee H.
Delicious! I can not say a bad thing about this place. Yummy Thai/Asian food. Everything is fresh and made to order and they are so nice here even when my husband wants a bunch of substitutions. Try the curry and the coconut fried rice and the beef macadamia and everything else. You won't regret it!

Passing through on our way to Cape Cod... Originally went next door to Zorbas for a quick bite, Old cranky owner... Dirty, dingy place. We left and went next door and WOW! What a surprise... Incredible and affordable menu. Chinese, Japanese and Thai offerings... Large portions, sushi was fresh and delicious. We had Red chicken curry and Hoison chicken wraps.. Both excellent and they even specially made some soba chicken teriyaki for our son. We highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant it rivals some of the best! The service and waiter were friendly and attentive. We will make it here again...
(5)Joe S.
After reading all the great reviews about Crystal's, we decided to give it a try. It is a few miles off the main highway but very easy to find although I was a little apprehensive of its placement in a strip mall but that is pretty common in this area - and there are many a treasure to be found in the strip malls. The restaurant is on the smaller side - very clean and modestly decorated - one large room with a tv featuring various dishes on the wall. So not the fanciest or most romantic of atmospheres. HOWEVER, what they do offer up is amazing food and phenomenal service. From the moment we walked in, smiling and friendly staff who know their product, offer suggestions, and are there to offer great service without hovering over your table. So we (4 of us) really enjoyed the staff, but what we really found amazing was the food. We started with the combo dumpling appetizer (4 pork and 4 crab). They were the perfect starter and you could taste the proteins and the seasoning. The soy-ginger sauce served on the side was perfectly complimentary and flavorful. Get accustomed to that description because EVERYTHING we ate had amazing flavor. We then had soups - two of us had Tom Ka Gai while the other two opted for the beef Pho, which the server offered to bring two bowls to allow them to more easily share - which was appreciated (some places aren't as accommodating). Both offerings were aromatic, chock full of fresh and delicious ingredients, and steaming hot. Our waitress even warned us that the Tom Ka Gai had some ingredients that, while edible, should not necessarily be eaten - which was thoughtful being that it was the first time she had seen us there and didn't know if we would be aware of that. Then the entrees came in these small cast iron pots with lids. As our server lifted each lid, we knew we were in for a special dinner. Again, beautiful presentations, tantalizing aromatics, and properly proportionate ratios of proteins, herbs, spices, vegetables, and starches (even erring on generous for the proteins). We had Basil Chicken (the best item IMHO), Shrimp Pad Thai, Pepper Beef, and Chicken Drunken Noodles. All four dishes were delicious - yes, we are sharers/samplers. Our server kept an eye on us as we enjoyed our meals, filling water glasses (these dishes had some heat without being overwhelming - I had ordered the Pad Thai with some spice too and a side of Peanut Sauce), checking in, and clearing away and boxing up dishes as we completed them. Always friendly. Never intrusive. Prices for dinner were very reasonable $40 for each couple for appetizer, soup, entree and Thai iced teas. So 4 stars because, while each individual dish was great, some of them were not the absolute best I have ever had, close, very close, but not the absolute best (this does not apply to the Basil Chicken which I thought was amazing). The ambiance was lacking but perhaps that allows the prices to remain reasonable. But for food and service, this is my new place to beat in Southern Mass.

Food is excellent and so is the staff. Feels like home when your there.
(5)Daniel P.
Amazingly fresh food, great knowledgeable staff. Dont let the outside fool you. Definitely worth a visit and future multiple visits. Crystal actually took time out to leave the kitchen and check how the guest are . I cant wait to go back.
(5)Calia J.
The food was amazing. The service was also very nice and the waitress was friendly :). Overall, very good place to stop and eat.

Let's start off with why I decided to come here. I came because my boyfriend and I were visiting raynham flea and we wanted to grab a bite to eat. It was amazing to us that this restaurant had 42 reviews and still 5 stars. To start the service is awesome. These people really know the meaning of customer service. Not the fake customer service you get at some restaurants, but they really give you a good vibe. Best customer service I have had at a restaurant. For example, my boyfriend was eating a dish that was spicy and when they heard him cough, they came right away without us asking or anything and asked if it was too spicy and if it is they could take it back and tone it down. Very caring. The food, the menu is overwhelming!!!! But there are sooooo sooo many choices. & it is all authentic Asian food too. I had a hard time picking!!! But overall everything was as good if not better than rumored on yelp!
(5)Katherine Y.
Best thing about Bridgewater is that they have some good Thai food. HIGHLY recommended!!

UPDATED: Crystal is the former owner of the chatta box when it was AMAZING! Lately it's been on the decline (since she left in my opinion). I have yet to try this restaurant however I am a huge fan of Crystal and her cuisine. I'm rating this now, before I try it, with how I would rate Crystal when I've tried her cooking before. Once I attend in person I'll update this review accordingly. I finally was able to make it over to Crystal's and it was everything I remembered and more!!! Not only was the food that nostalgic flavors of my teen years but the service was just as great as I remember when she was at the Chatta Box. I got a personal call from Crystal last night, with whom I have a great repoire and have not spoken to in ten years, only to feel like no time was past. Not only did Crystal remember me, one of her waitresses teaching me how to use chopsticks at sixteen (Kelly), she also remembered what I ordered and wanted to know if it met my expectations. Let me say this: hands down you would be a fool not to give this place a try and experience the superior cuisine they offer, impeccable service and overall inviting ambiance of the restaurant. I'll be going in tonight to give Miss Crystal and Kelly a big hug for their return to excellence and, of course, to enjoy that incredible food I dream about so much. If you're in the Bridgewater area check out this place, you will not regret it...and, if for some strange reason you do, tell them! Crystal has always been committed to customer satisfaction and improving on her culinary prowess - something that was evident in her years at the Chatta Box. My only request would be to add achat to the menu. Perhaps I missed it but this has been a long time favorite of mine for years!
(5)Lynne B.
Crystal's Kitchen serves an awesome variety of Thai food, and the quality can't get any better. Crystal's Pad Thai is my all time favorite, and I can't imagine eating it elsewhere ever again. I have also tried a butternut squash soup here that was a special for that day and it was AMAZING!!! I can't wait to come back and try something new.
(5)Joy S.
Food is amazing and service is even better! My family loves to come here! The mango sticky rice is my favorite dessert ever! We had a chicken and pineapple special tonight an it was delicious. Love the wait staff too!
(5)Jessica S.
Went there tonight with my husband for our anniversary. I have to say that even though we read the reviews here about how good this place was, I was still very pleasantly surprised! The wait staff are so friendly it's almost like you are a friend invited to their home for dinner!! Our waiter asked if we had come in for a late valentine's day thing, and when we replied that it was actually our anniversary the owner sent over a dessert! The sweetest things in life are the ones you least expect out of pure courtesy. We tried a fairly eclectic assortment, chicken satay appetizer, Philadelphia roll, Malaysian beef rendang, Mongolian beef.... Incredible taste, great service and not crazy expensive either, No complaints! We definitely will be re-visiting
(5)Jennifer L.
My friend and I had dinner at Crystal's Kitchen a week ago for the first time. If I lived closer, I would definitely be there often! Great, quick service, fair prices, and delicious food! They have lots of vegetarian options, which was great for me, and the server was very careful in making sure he got my friend's "gluten-free" order correct -- he also asked me if I wanted mine gluten-free. It seemed possible to change just about any order to vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free. She got the Tom-Ka Gai soup and the Beef Macadamia and I got Cashew Tofu with sticky rice (you can choose between sticky, white, or brown). It was hard to decide what to get... So many options! They all sounded amazing. We were both very impressed with our choices. The ginger jasmine tea was also delicious!
(5)Dave M.
I'm an old fan of the Chatta Box over in Bridgewater. Crystal's Kitchen is a lot better. Shrimp were delicious and tasted fresh. This will be my go to place for Thai food. I've only tried a few things on the menu and everything has been amazing so far. Thanks Crystal's Kitchen!!
(5)Bryan E.
Best place around. I want to try everything on the menu. Anything with mung bean noodles is really good.
(5)D P.
Love this place. We have only ordered take out, and they are always very clear over the phone and the order is always checked and right. Food is so fresh!
(5)Red S.
Just Go! I was surprised that the reviews were all so excellent across the board so I went thinking it would be at least decent. It was amazing. What flavors and what variety. So carefully prepared in the correct tradition. You will be impressed.
(5)Roger E.
This place is great. I have tried over 10 different dinners - all have been fresh and delicious! Lucky to have such great food in a small town...
(5)Lauren F.
Great restaurant! My favorite Thai place near work was torn down and I really missed my drunken noodles. They were great here! Liked the coconut chicken fingers too :) service was very good... Looking forward to going back!
(5)Bob P.
My wife and I love good food, and when we find a place we like, we tend to go there over and over until we've tried a good sampling of their dishes. We tried Crystal's based on the reviews here on Yelp, which all seem like rave reviews. They are not lying - we have been here twice now and have gotten 4 different dishes, and they have all been incredible. I've eaten a ton of Thai food because I used to live in Cambridge (Harvard Square) and work right next to China Town in Boston, so I really appreciate good spicey Asian cuisine, and yet Crystal's is probably the best noodle dishes I've ever had, including an Udon place I went to in Tokyo. It's that good! If you like Asian food, and noodles in particular, you definitely need to check out Crystal's. The Drunken Noodle and Korean Noodle are to die for!
(5)Matthew W.
Crystal was the original owner of the Chatta Box. When she left us, so did her dedication to the food. Chatta Box has never been as good as when she owned it. Well now she's back and better than ever. It was a breath of fresh air to have her back in Mass and back in her kitchen. Her food is fresh, flavorful, and always an adventure to try new dishes. If you're looking for standard American Asian cuisine, this is not the place for you. If you love food, then you absolutely need to visit Crystal's Kitchen. She loves to cook, she takes pride in her recipes, and the end product really reflects that. Welcome back Crystal, you were really missed.
(5)Julie B.
The best sushi around! The sushi is a fantastic bargain considering the rolls are so big! At least once a week I go and treat myself to sushi.
(5)Richard B.
Crystal was the original owner/chef of Chatta Box in Bridgewater. She's done it again in West Bridgewater but one...or maybe a hundred?...times better. You owe it to yourself to try it! The Coconut Chicken is scrumptious!
(5)P C.
Wow! Amazingly Delicious. The black pepper beef was fantastic amongst all the other items we ate. The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming but makes you want to try everything. The seating is limited but a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely one of the best Thai places around. Give it a try, you will not regret it.
(5)Mike M.
Excellent food. Blows Sugar Cane and Chatta Box out of the water. This is becoming an unlikely destination restaurant .
(5)Kendra W.
Huge fan of the other local thai place but this place in 2 minutes from my house so thought I would give it a try! Service was fast and friendly-- so first plus. There were two different groups eating in, which seemed normal for this type of place on a Thursday evening. Got a pad thai dish and it was great! Enough for two meals! Looking forward to checking it out again!
(5)Richard W.
Wow. Terrific tastes. Lots of gluten free choices. I had the rainbow paradise: chicken, pineapple, mango and more in a sweet chili sauce. Curries were great also. Definitely worth swinging a but off the highway for
(5)Jim E.
Last night 2 friends and I had our world premeire at Crystal's Kitchen. Everything was great.
(5)Jon C.
Never had a bad meal. Crab rangoons are handmade and delicious!!
(5)Chris R.
As others have stated, if you like the Chatta Box, you'll love Crystal's Kitchen, as Crystal is the original owner. Excellent quality - there is very little from the menu that I haven't enjoyed (the only thing that comes to mind is the pho, which is very underwhelming).
(5)Dave B.
Decided to try this place last Sat evening with my wife and kids. We were looking for Thai food and the Yelp reviews were great. I got the Mango Chicken, one of us got Chicken Teriyaki, Pad Thai and another dish along with chicken Satay. We all loved it even the Pad Thai which I look as a good basic test of a Thai restaurant. This place has a very long menu so it took us quite a while to decide what to get - no regrets in our choices although gives us lots of options for next time! Service was also good. The Mango Iced Tea was really good. 5 stars all the way.
(5)Vic F.
Outstanding food, and very friendly service - absolutely worth a visit!
(4)Kristi O.
The food and service were excellent! By far best Thai food around. My boyfriend and I shared the chicken satay for an appetizer. The chicken tasted really fresh and the peanut sauce served with it was really tasty. I got the pineapple fried rice. The portion was huge and every part of it was delicious. My boyfriend got the drunken noodles. He said the spice was just right and he would definitely get it again. For dessert I got the fried banana and my boyfriend got the bread pudding. Both were excellent but I may be ordering the bread pudding next time. Our waitress was incredibly nice. She made sure all of our questions were answered, stroke up friendly conversation and offered suggestions for our next visit. We drove from Taunton and it was well worth the drive. We will definitely be coming back.
(5)Joshua C.
Awesome cranberry duck, kalbi, crab rangoon and edamame
(5)Brian L.
If you're looking for a great alternative to the typical heavy MSG-laiden Asian fare, check out this place. Portions are hearty. Prices are reasonable. Service is outstanding. Establishment is immaculate. We eat out at least 4 time a week and our standards are high. This place is a definite winner.
(5)Joseph C.
This place is great--one of the stars being for the location, because you don't expect an asian restaurant of this quality in this location. I also tend to shy away from restaurants that attempt to cover such a wide swathe through Asia (although the focus is on Malaysian and Thai, they have Japanese, Korean, and Chinese plates), but Crystal's seems to do a good job with virtually everything. My favorite is the Yum Nua. Nice folks, too.
(5)Karen R.
clean!!!!! great food,best pad thai,friendly staff and great prices.love ,they make the best bread pudding I ever had for dessert,they make a vegetable chow mein with spinache noodles and the Japanese ramen noodle with tofu is wonderful.my fav of all around this area!
(5)Paul L.
My wife and I went to Crystal's for dinner based on the Yelp reviews. It was as good as advertised. We had a lamb special and a Pad Thai that were both exceptional as was the waitstaff.
(5)Dan S.
Ordered take-out. Food was hot and ready when I arrived. Service at pick up was excellent. Food was very good.
(4)Kat G.
Crystal's has only gotten better. Service has improved greatly. I hate going anywhere else for Asian food.
(5)Tracy K.
I've recently noticed Crystal's Kitchen at the intersection of Rte. 106 and 28 in West Bridgewater. Not sure how long they have been open. Checked to see if there was a Yelp review but found nothing. We ordered takeout tonight including Bangkok Rolls, Chicken Satay, and Garlic Beef Fried Rice. Our to go order was ready promptly, service was pleasant. The dine in table area looked like a good option if you prefer to eat there. Everything was prepared with care, and delicious. The menu was extensive offering it seemed well beyond what was posted online. I hope Crystal's does well. I am looking forward to many future visits and really pleased to have this kind of great food in our area.
(5)Jason H.
LOVE Crystals Kitchen! I work right near them and I get it as much as I can. I get the Sushi, Spicy Tuna, Crispy Combo, Chicken Satay, all are great! They are so friendly, I love them! Crystal is the best!
(5)Ernest A.
Very neat and clean nice relaxing, food excellent ,,wait persons smile , I had Garlicky Chicken, My wife Curry Lamb, nice portions, prices reasonable
(5)Stacy H.
I really can't say enough about Crystal's. I come here pretty regularly with my husband and never had a dish we didn't like. I love that you can add a cup of soup and mini appetizer for only $2.95! The Crab Rangoon is made purse style and seasoned perfectly. They have more flavor to them than just crab and cream cheese. Veggie tofu soup is loaded with yummy cabbage, carrot, and mushroom and the broth is delicious. The staff is awesome too. Crystal is a wonderfully nice, funny lady. Kelly always remembers us, she not only know us by name but also never fails to compliment a new hair cut or style. Love her! If you live within driving distance and haven't been to Crystal's, you are missing out big time.
(5)Andrew E.
The food is very good.here . We got takeout from here and I have nothing bad to say about it. The ingredients ts were fresh and just the right combination of spices...tasted great. The place itself is small but enough you probably won't have to wait very long, if at all. I can't really speak for the service cause but when I picked up my order they were very friendly. I will definitely be back.
(4)Nicole V.
Wow! Thank you yelp for pointing me in the direction of this place. I had the panang curry and it was amazing. Great service, and everyone in my party loved their meal. Will be back!
(5)Matt D.
I couldn't help myself when I saw a five-star thai place near my hotel. I placed an order for achat, fresh rolls, and bamboo duck. The service on the phone and when I picked up the order was excellent. The young lady was friendly, informative, and quick. I like anything pickled, and I love kimchee, so I thought the achat would be something interesting and new. It's a good cold side type of dish, but I would have liked it to be stronger in flavor....more pickle and more spice! The fresh rolls and the duck were both very good. They had lots of flavor, and it was obvious that the ingredients were extremely fresh. On top of that, the serving sizes were huge, particularly the duck.
(4)Dave L.
Absolutely loved it. My wife and I wanted somewhere different. I scanned yelp and after reading the reviews knew we had to try it. There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said already. Don't think about it, just go.
(5)Leeanne M.
Crystal is an amazing chef. Her fusion food is like none other. Her traditional dishes are spot on delicious. The HUGE menu makes it a little difficult to decide sometimes. But over all it can please just about anyone that loves asian cuisine. My absolute favorite dish is the pad see yew with beef. She special orders the fresh wide, flat rice noodles. So many places out there don't take the time to source these noodles. Instead they use dried. So I am never angry nor disappointed when she occasionally runs out (only twice in over 2 years). If you've ever had fresh pasta as opposed to dried in an Italian restaurant, you'll understand what I mean. Other favorites, her cashew chicken. It is phenomenal! The balsamic vinegar in the dish reminds me of Chinese black vinegar. But it's used perfectly...not too acidic. Her Mongolian beef (I like mine with extra mushrooms and broccoli added) is soul satisfying. The pad Thai is spot on balanced and delicious with huge shrimp. Lastly, the curry laksa is thick and my type of comfort food on a rainy day. I could go on and on, but I digress. My advice, go there and talk to her. She is very humble and friendly, yet passionate about her craft. Tell her what flavors or ingredients you like and let her suggest something new to try. I've been a chef for over 25 years. And I can usually figure out how many dishes are created and with what flavor profiles. I don't know how she comes up with her brilliant fusion ideas. I can only say that she has an incredible palate and I would LOVE to pick her brain. Thank you for your hard work and dedication Crystal.
(5)Lee L.
What a special place! Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. Our waitress was so pleasant and patient and explained the dishes thoroughly. I ordered the Pad See Yew to try the fresh homemade pasta and it was Yummy. The Satay chicken and Singapore noodles were also very good. Can't wait to come back here! I want to try every single thing on the menu!!
(5)Nicomima D.
Got take out here even though I had drive a bit out of the way, not much to offer in way of take out in bridgewater. My family's order consider consider very different things such as sushi oriental chicken wraps hot and sour soup coconut chicken appetizers and I'm happy to report that all items were hot fresh and delicious. Well worth the price will eat there again.
(5)Kendra E.
My Order: Beef Rendang, Fried Ice Cream PROS: - Friendly and attentive service! Always checked up if everything was good and filled my water without me asking. - Lunch specials are cheaper and end by 3PM - Gluten-free and vegetable options are available - Brown rice is an option - Beef Rendang comes in a bowl with a side of rice. Portion size was just right. I could not finish the beef rendang. The meat was tender and the dish was spiced just right. - Fried ice cream came with a mountain full of whip cream with a cherry on top. Crispy on the outside, sweet vanilla ice cream in the inside. It's the best fried ice cream I have ever eaten. - Lots of parking available CONS: - Wish this was in California! Overall, this place is legit when it comes to Asian fusion. One of the best Asian restaurants I have been to and comparable to the standards back in Southern California. Not to mention, their friendly demeanor and excellent customer service.
(5)Lisa S.
I am a frequent customer of Crystals along with my brother and many others I have introduced to this amazing 5 star restaurant. I gave never had a bad meal and all the staff are extremely nice. Well worth the wait!!
(5)Steve B.
Crystals Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always freshly prepared. I'm partial to the Mango Chicken. It is delicious! When eating in, I always order a Thai Ice Tea. I'm surprised how many people never heard of this. It's non-alcoholic, and can sooth the spiciness of the food as you are eating it, enabling you to eat even more spicy food! As mentioned in other reviews, Crystal was formerly with the Chatta Box (which is also very good.). It's conveniently located in a small shopping plaza at the intersection of Routes 106 and 28.
(5)Melissa B.
Got take out here (again) and it didn't disappoint. Fresh spring rolls, shrimp, lettuce chicken wraps and black pepper noodles & beef. Everything was done wonderfully and flavors were amazing.
(5)Brad D.
So.... I would like to start by saying, THANK YOU YELP! We came to Raynham Mass. To check out Cape Cod for the 4th of July weekend. I couldn't have possibly imagined that we would find one of the best meals ever at a JapThaiMalay Fusion Restaurant in Massachusetts! It was absolutely phenomenal! The coconut chicken fingers rock! So does the crazy roll things as apps. The main courses were all exceptional as well! I just can't imagine that by me mentioning an one item is going to be better than the next, you can just tell by the food the 4 of us ordered that there can't possibly be a bad choice on that menu! Please believe the reviews, and GO! I write this as I am laying on my bed in the hotel, suffering from a self induced food coma... I may possibly miss the 4th of July and just stay in my room with the doggy bag of goodies we left with! Enjoy.
(5)Jessi R.
Thank the gods for Crystal's Kitchen. After moving to Bridgewater from Quincy, the Asian food capital of MA, I was very nervous about my future ability to obtain Asian food of even a similar quality. Crystal has alleviated most of my fears (still need to find a good sushi restaurant). Whether you're eating in or taking out, you can't go wrong. All the staff are friendly, the food is delicious and their selection is expansive. I only have 2 complaints: the wonton soup leaves a little something to be desired, and they do not give enough cripsy noodles for those dishes. They do however get points for allowing you to purchase extra noodles as well as peanut sauce.
(5)C. N.
It's almost impossible for me to say what my favorite is over here because everything I've tried is so good. If I had to give one word about the food, I would say it's so "fresh". I love many of the stir fried noodle dishes like Pad Thai, Penang Char, Hokkien Mee, Mee Siam, and my new favorite is the Suki in the pot. The fried rice is so good too.. spicy basil fried rice, malaysian fried rice, oh and the entree dish that I'm in love with is ginger pork with dry sherry...I can just go on and on...
(5)David S.
Ok. So. My buddies love this place. The taste, the presentation,everything. I think most people who like Asian food, will like Crystal's. My tastes run vegan, low sodium, and no added sweeteners. The food tasted highly flavored with both sodium and sweetener. I don't know absolutely what the ingredients were, but that's what it tasted like to me. I'd come back, but probably only order off the side dishes.
(4)Dave T.
This place deserves all of their five star reviews. Everything is fresh and delicious. Sushi is some of the best that I have had. Extensive menu with something for everyone. Don't let the outside appearance fool you. I drove past this location for a long time not realizing that they were here. Found on Yelp and sure glad that I did.
(5)V W.
Have been here several times and the food is always superb. Wait staff friendly, fast and attentive. One time Sam accidentally dropped the ice cream desert on my dad and he offered to pay the dry cleaning bill! We appreciated his sincere apology. Crystal joked about firing him. Warm atmosphere that always makes us feel welcome. So many things on the menu I am sure I won't live long enough to try all of them. Will be back again and again and again.
(5)Lauren N.
love the chicken pad thai! always packed when I drive by, so I always order to go.
(4)Alicia M.
Crystal's kitchen is amazing. I can never come here without getting the crab rangoon as an appetizer and so far I love the garlic beef and the Indonesian fried rice. they also have a great vegetarian and gluten free selection.
(5)Erica L.
Went for chicken pho and ended up with beef pho with chicken pieces. Not very good. Quick thai spot in the area but next time will skip on the soup.
(3)Kassandra P.
I love this place , it's such a hidden gem. staff are so polite and give off a very homey vibe ... I go about 3-4 times a month my fav. crazy roll and the satay chicken along with the pineapple fried rice . recommend this to anyone .
(5)Grecia X.
Went to grab dinner on Sunday night and there was no line at all. We were seated immediately. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with tofu ($3.95). It was so delicious, just the right level of spiciness and sourness. Also got the Caterpillar Roll ($10.95) and The Titanic Roll ($11.95). They were both really good. I liked the Caterpillar one better though, it had more flavor. My in-laws ordered the Saigon Chicken ($12.95) and the Garlic Chicken ($11.95). They liked them, but the only thing they had to say was that they were both missing some salt and it was mostly vegetables, specially onions. The chicken was kind of hard to find. We also had the Mango Stir Fried Chicken ($12.95). This was sooo good. It had fresh diced mangoes, served on the mango's skin. It gave it a nice sweet flavor and the right amount of spiciness. All entrées came with a side of steamed rice too. I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to try really fresh food not swimming in oil. Will be coming back very often now that we have found this treasure.
(4)Arthur G.
Maybe it was an off night. The food was OK, the service was fair and my wife had a small issue with an appetizer and it seemed the wait staff couldn't care less. We have had very good Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian. This "Asian fusion" was not nearly as good as any of them.
(2)Nancy D.
Saw this on Yelp a couple months ago. Went there for my fourth time today and I had to write a review. Their food is amazing! For my first three visits I had the Pho, which was garnished with the freshest basil and cilantro and the broth is rich and so tasty. Today I tried the scallion pancakes and Curry soup. Can you say YUM! The waiter told me their scallion pancakes were more doughy than others but I have to say they were so much more flavorful than other places as they were stuffed with scallions. The curry soup was the best soup I have ever had! Creamy, spicy and topped with fresh bean sprouts and scallions. The wait staff are so friendly and accommodating!!! I even overheard a waitress telling a customer the last time she was there they made a mistake and overcharged her for an iced tea. She had been there over 2 months ago and they not only remembered her, they refunded her money. Now that is service at its finest. This is one of my favorite places. I just need more than one client in the area so I can go everyday!!
(5)James H.
I really like the food here. And the staff is really friendly, try the fried ice cream so good!
(4)Kevin F.
I ordered the red curry chicken here and it was fantastic. What a great little spot for grabbing lunch. The lunch specials are a solid deal and the staff are great. Again the flavor in the curry was fantastic!
(4)Billy B.
The flavors are great and the staff is always friendly. It's a small place and suffers from the strip mall Chinese restaurant exterior look. It's easy to dismiss for this reason, and I didn't go here for a long time for that reason. I was really surprised and impressed the first time I ate here. I have lived in SE Asia for a few years in the past and this is not 100% authentic. However I know getting some of the vegetables and proteins from that region is difficult and expensive so they get forgiven for a lot. They do a lot with what they have to work with.
(4)Rich B.
Was up in MA to watch my nephews swim meet. After a long day watching we were hungry. Looked up places nearby to eat on YELP and this place popped up. I saw it had a good 4.5 rating for 96 reviews and gave it a try. Glad we did. We also had a large party of 11. Took us no problem. Service was great, staff friendly. If I'm this area again, I know where I'll be eating. Highly recommend eating here.
(5)Sarah J.
Such an exciting menu, AMAZING sauces! Try the crazy rolls for sure. Everything I ordered was cooked perfectly and the staff were all so friendly. I'll Definitely be back here when I'm in the area
(5)Ryu J.
Best Thai place I ever been the sauce on any dish i believe is amazing. Especially if your a sucker for sauce like me mmmmmm.... Amazing great customer service nice & friendly patient they make sure you have a very good stay while you eat
(5)Sandy C.
I had a great meal at this cozy place several days ago and I absolutely loved loved it. The food is legit, especially Penang Char Noodle dish. Penang Char is a celebrated dish that pays homage to Malaysian cuisine. Another dish that's deemed unique is Salmon Chilli basil. It is not just a simple basil sauce but it's Crystal's original creation with special mix of ingredients that nails it. Great ambience, great food, and great service. It's the place to be
(5)Shannon T.
Everything was excellent!! Yellow curry, honey lemon sesame chicken and the coconut chicken fingers were all fresh and amazing dishes! Highly recommend this place if you are close to Bridgewater
(4)Carrie C.
I am a serious critic when it comes to Thai food and I was blown away with the quality of food and service at Crystal's Kitchen! We went a little out of our way to eat there and it was well worth it. We ordered the tofu vegetable fritter which was good, but the appetizer that I would definitely go back for, was the crazy roll! It is like one of the most delicious nime chows you will ever have, lightly panko breaded and deep fried. It is served with a nice sweet cucumber, mint sauce. I eat mostly vegetarian, with a little bit if seafood, because I know that it's pretty unavoidable when you are as addicted to Thai food as I am. Our server, Kelly, was so awesome and gave us a few suggestions which I appreciated. I absolutely love, LOVE flat, wide rice noodles! The dish we had was the Hong Kong Stir Fried Beef Noodle dish without the beef and with assorted stir fried veggies & tofu!! I really recommend this restaurant and to top it off, it is a very clean establishment. I have found a new favorite place to dine. Thank you!
(5)Michael C.
This is simply the best around. Everything is so fresh and the smells coming from the kitchen are out of this world. The staff is friendly and work together to expedite service. My favorite is the Hong Kong Beef Noodle and the Shanghai Dumplings. Can't say enough about the quality of food. Beats the best I have had by a good margin.
(5)G K.
OK...I've gone here many more times and tried many more things. I've updated the review because since I started CRAVING their food...its a good sign that this should be a 5'er
(5)RM J.
Good but not great. Certainly not 5 stars. If you're in the area then fine but don't make a special trip. Would give it 3.5 if I could.
(4)Nicholas G.
Food is good, huge menu, parking is sufficient. Interior space is very small, it's as if the people eating near you are at the same table. Other than the lack of private dinning, will come back here again.
(4)Nelson F.
Amazing food and such a great and personable staff! Crystal is a very hard worker and it shows. Big fan of the Black Pepper Beef Noodles.
(5)Vincent Y.
Looking at the menu, this place served a smorgasbord of Asian cuisine. Though it's a Thai restaurant, it also had little bit of Japanese here, Chinese there, Korean near the top, Malaysian in the middle :) I was a bit of a skeptic, as no restaurant could possibly be good at all of these ethnic cuisines. I was prepared for an average meal. For the appetizer, I tried their version of Mayonnaise/Honey Walnut Shrimp, which was decent. I guess it's hard not to butcher this dish. If you're not accustomed to asian food, you'll definintely enjoy this dish. For those who know what this dish is supposed to taste like, stay away. Since it seemed that the owner(s) was/were Thai, I satisfied my appetite with the Malaysian Pad Thai, which was basically Pad Thai with the thinner (singapore) noodles. It tasted really good after the first few bites, but I was craving for something a bit more refreshing afterwards, as the flavor started getting bland (just salt and sugar), yet the content remained too heavy. You know what they say: Jack of all trades, but master of None!

wow- the food is just awesome!!! We were one of the first customers in and by the time we were leaving there were several groups of people waiting for a table. The food was really good and service was excellent... They have a little bit of everything on the menu from typical Thai food to Korean Galbi....will definitely stop by again if in the area.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade as the only reason we stopped in for lunch/dinner was because of the excessively high ratings. First, we must say that we loved that it was warm and clean. The menu was extensive and featured both lunch and dinner prices/portions. I had the Mongolian beef with mushrooms and tons of other veggies served with jasmine rice. I asked for fried rice and would even pay the difference, but there are no substitutions...really....the only reason I stopped is because I was craving a small serving of fried rices with my Mongolian beef. Perhaps, if I would have satisfied my craving, my rating would be five start. However, I tasted my husband's plate terryaki chicken combo plate and it was dry and pointless...again we asked for a small portion of tempera (as most Japanese restaurants serve tempera with this sort of combo teryaki plate) but they could not accommodate...bummer...because my husband was craving tempura with his meal. So again, you see the two star rating. If I lived in the area, I would give this restaurant another try, but for now I don't think I will ever go back, even when i am visiting the area.

One word. "Fantastic". Working way thru menu. Hostess suggested new dish. Pad see yew. Omg. Delilah. Awesome wide noodle dish with chicken or shrimp. Or both like I got. Everything fresh. Service great. Ask for suggestions if u don't know Thai or Malaysian. Won't go wrong.

First time here (had high hopes) tried the shrimp pad thai and wonton soup. The shrimp pad thai was not very good and had these weird fried tofu pieces which were very unappealing which did not help. Did not care for the dish in general. The wonton soup was just barely average.

Extremely good food! I had the red curry chicken and crazy rolls for lunch, way too much food. From outside you would not guess the experience. Service and staff was super and very pleasant and fast! Very clean inside.. Highly recommend.

Was very happy to find quite a few vegetarian options. Went with the Yam Vegetable Pot. Amazing flavor , not too pungent or salt, very savory! A sure win!

Man Oh Man! Where do I start? Maybe by saying thank you Yelp and Yelp reviewers because without you I would never have found this gem! Crystal's Kitchen is a small yet cozy, clean and welcoming restaurant located in an intersection strip mall in West Bridgewater. I have now been here on two lunch break occasions and the staff is friendly and eager to help with any questions and assuring that you are satisfied with your meal. The food is only made with the freshest ingredients and seasoned perfectly. If you like bland food then this is not your place. Beverages: Thai Iced Tea- a classic! Malaysian Iced Coffee- The MOST amazing iced coffee experience I've ever had in my life.. and that's saying a lot coming from a self proclaimed coffee addict. This stuff is no joke. Intense coffee flavor balanced by sweetness, not sure what exactly it is, sweetened condensed milk? Who cares, I just know that I need more of this stuff in my life! Meals: (I might be going through a mango phase at the moment) Tom Ka Gai Soup- Best I've ever had, the chicken was tender, no dryness and the soup was perfectly seasoned, lots of lime and cilantro flavor. Mango Fried Rice- Again, tender juicy pieces of chicken, no dryness in the rice, tossed with chunks of mango, egg, cranberries and peas. Just the right balance of sweet and savory. Mango Stir Fried Chicken- All fresh ingredients, peppers, chicken, mango with a side of rice. Mongolian Beef- This is what my dad ordered, I will definitely come back for this. The beef was deliciously seasoned. Tempura Udon Noodle Soup- Also another item my dad ordered. This is a meal in itself. Juicy tempura fried shrimp in a noodle broth. Yum. The shrimp was perfect. If I could come here every day for lunch I would!

Crystal herself has contacted me several times to try to make my dish again- exceptional customer service. Thank you!

Simply the best Thai food I've ever had! Been a loyal patron to Chatta Box, but feel this will be my new thai home! They really should take over Yangtze down the street and they would have a bar and more dining area. Not a question they could fill it!

I am a huge fan of Crystal's. The staff is so friendly and communicative. Their food is great and reasonably priced with large portions. I often order to go and theyre fast and always have my food ready and waiting. I love sushi and am very picky where I will eat it from but highly recommend Crystal's!

YUM YUM YUM!! The food is just fresh and delicious. I can't say I've ever eaten anything not tasty from here. Give the hot ginger jasmine tea a try and the Thai dirty fried brown rice a whirl...AMAZING!!! This place is small and gets packed full of people quick, so it might be a wait. However, the wait is so worth it!

I am rarely moved to write reviews these days as there are so many well written insightful and detailed reviews that drive my decision to choose the restaurant. This is no exception so I'll thank and confirm the wonderfully accurate 4 & 5 star reviews that expound on the food and it's staff. They're 110% right. I came out of my way for this place and will do it again. Do the same and you'll love it. I had 2 portions of the Achat, a Malaysian kimchi, one after the Main course of Malaysian beef rendang because it was so good. The beef dish was a wonderful curry with a coconut rice that brought out the flavor. Try both and you won't be disappointed.

What a delicious treat. The massaman curry is delicious and the pad thai a little dry but not overly sour. We've only done takeout but each time it has been perfect. The House appetizers are amazing. I believe their crab rangoon is handmade and not delivered frozen in a box. Need a little sushi with your meal? They have that, too. Our daughter loves having a sushi roll with dinner and this place serves it up with delicious style.

I hate to share this review because I am worried such great reviews will eventually make this place crowded and lower their quality of food even though they deserve more people. This is our favorite Thai and sushi place, first of all never been to a place where they are that nice and polite. The food is amazing and out of this world. The best pad see eew, best Indonesian fried rice, really good chicken satay. The food is cook to perfection, the pad see eew has the right amount or caramelization which tells me they are using very high heat in a well seasoned wok. Just perfect, it's far for us to get there but we still make the trip. This place has better Thai food than anywhere we had in Boston or greater Boston area north and southern

Go here. Now. I'm serious. Dinner last night was amazing and the leftovers I just finished for lunch made me wish I had ordered more. Crystal is some kind of miracle worker because there were three miraculous occurrences last night. First, my non-adventurous parents recommended this place, which is a miracle in and of itself because they don't really do "ethnic" food. Italian is about as out there as they'll go. My dad has said he doesn't like Thai food or anything spicy. Well, Crystal has made a believer out of my picky parents and I'm so glad their horizons have been broadened or I never would have known about this place! My mom ordered a combo meal so she got 3 small veggie rolls and egg drop soup to start. The veggie rolls were decent. The egg drop soup was SO GOOD, you guys! I got to have a few bites and was really regretting not ordering it myself. Next time. So, usually when I'm eating Thai food I either order panang curry, pad Thai, pad see ew, or massaman curry. Those are my go-to dishes that I know I'll love. I guess I was feeling inspired by my parents stepping outside of the box so I went crazy and ordered the drunken noodles. Great choice, me! It was medium spicy and I thought it had a really good kick to it. Even my non-spicy-eating dad liked it! Miracle #2. It was delicious. My dad got garlic beef crispy noodle something or other and evidently he loved it because he ate the whole bowl, which was a lottttt of food. The husb got massaman curry, and my dad, who "doesn't like curry," tried it and declared, "that's delicious! I'm ordering that next time!" Miracle #3. I loved the addition of pineapple in the curry. Really good. My mom ordered coconut fried rice with chicken for the entree. She loved it, my dad loved it, heck we all loved it. Crystal, you know how to make some amazing food. I also should note that this place is not just Thai, there is also Malaysian food and Japanese! The menu is extensive and I need to go back and try everything. Service was great, too! Highly recommend this place to everyone, as my dad has clearly shown that even the pickiest of old white guys can enjoy Thai too.

I could eat here every day!! The drinks are great the service is great, the food is amazing. They are slammed on Fri and Sat night so tough to get a table. Just went on Sat and brought friends who have never been, they loved it as well. Just started going since the weather got warm, but can't wait to work my way through the soup menu once the weather is cold. Hubby loves the sushi and the tv showing the food so he knows what he is getting.

This is my favorite local food. The food is always as expected, and I am always greeted with a friendly staff. The rangoons, and Korean ribs are amazing. We also love the Lemon Sesame Chicken. So good. Thank you!!

Based on previous Yelp reviews, we stopped at Crystal's Kitchen on our way home from Cape Cod. Good decision! Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and informed. The meals flavorful and a delight to look at. Entrees were Basil Seafood and Massaman Curry; appetizers were Chicken Larb and Dumpling Combo. Seasoning was deftly handled, adjusted to the specifications of each diner. Excellent value.
