We finally made it over to Crystal’s Cafe in Jackson Heights/Woodside. We live only a few blocks away but somehow always seem to forget about this place.
The food was good but the service sucked. The wait staff wasn’t attentive. In fact, they didn’t really seem to care. We had to ask them to order several times before they even bothered to take our actual order. We’ve bought cakes and breads from them before and it’s always been the same kind of treatment. I guess, they’re ultra laid back there.
We ordered sweet sausage (longanisa), chicken bbq on sticks, fried mini egg rolls (lumpia shanghai) – all of these appetizers were so yummy. We also tried one of the noodles (egg noodle pancit), chicken coconut stew, and stewed taro leaves. I didn’t much care for the taro leaves. The bf liked the chicken coconut stew a lot. I enjoyed the noodles.
So, I would definitely eat the food at Crystal’s Cafe again but I won’t eat it in.
