My experience with it has been very positive.  They advertise that they use no MSG, although I did have a slight case of dry-mouth following the last time I ate there.  I especially recommend both the sesame and general's chicken, but stay away from the habit-formingly delicious teriyaki chicken unless you want to taste it for the rest of the evening.  The place pretty much stays crowded, which says something for a restaurant that has been open for a while.  I did notice when I was last there that they had done a bit of rearranging to provide more seating.  Eastern Buffet is perhaps slightly better (this may be an arguable point), but Crystal Palace is certainly more spectacular.  If you are familiar with Ten-Ten, it is miles better than that.

I don't think you'll regret going there.
