Crystal China is a Chinese restaurant at 78–80 Tower Bridge Road in Southwark, London. It serves both dine in and takeaway customers, with a broad menu that moves between familiar Cantonese favourites, Sichuan flavours and less common regional dishes.
Small plates include vegetable spring rolls, sesame prawn toast, spare ribs and crispy aromatic duck with pancakes, cucumber, spring onion and hoisin sauce. Soups, dumplings and cold dishes provide further ways to begin a shared meal before the main wok and hot pot sections.
The chef’s recommendations include beef with green and red peppers, cumin lamb, king prawns with salted egg yolk and tofu cooked with salted egg yolk. Aubergine appears in both a minced pork preparation and a yellow bean sauce, while potato, aubergine and green pepper are combined in a Northern Chinese style stir fry.
Crystal China is particularly known for dry hot pot, where diners can select ingredients and a preferred heat level for a deeply seasoned shared dish. Rice and noodles complete the meal, with vegetable and tofu options available; guests with allergies should ask staff about soy, gluten, sesame, peanuts, shellfish and cross contact before ordering.
