Best sweet and sour pork ribs! Just about the right taste. Good service as well. Even we were there talking for a while after dinner and occupying the table, the servers still treated us nice without hesitation. read more

I went here for dinner and dimsum. For dinner I love their walnut prawns, must get. Other than that, we ordered ginger scallion lobster, Peking duck, fish plate, beef plate, noodle plate, you name it, they have it and it all tastes great! Towards the end, for dessert, they gave sweet soup and watermelons as freebies. For dimsum, we were seated in another room towards the back where the AC was blowing towards us, it was a very unpleasant feeling, so bring a jacket with you for just in case. The food was good, they got everything that I wanted: congee, fried dough, spare ribs, chicken feet and plenty more items. Cart ladies are nice. Big space, lots of seatings, but it's very busy. read more

Back in March, I was here for a Chinese New Year's banquet with a very large group of people, where the head of the group rented out one of the rooms. As it was a banquet, I can't exactly comment on the prices, but the food was very tasty overall, with particularly good seafood. The service was quick, refilling tea whenever necessary. The following were the dishes in order: Shrimp Trio Appetizer: Included Har Gow, Shumai, and Shrimp Egg Rolls. Favorites were the shumai, then the har gow, and then the egg rolls. All the dumpling skins were pretty thin and good quality, with plenty of plump shrimp. Shumai in particular had a wonderful bouncy texture Steamed Pacific Oyster With XO Sauce: One of the unexpected highlights. Excellent XO sauce with a lot of umami and a surprising amount of kick with giant tender oysters beneath. I am not usually the biggest fan of oysters, but this was excellent Roasted Squab: Fun presentation with tasty bony meat. Not dry with a nice crispy edge. One of the meat highlights, outside of it being maybe a little bit salty Snow Pea Leaves With Dried Scallop: Fresh snow peas, but not much flavor from the compoy/dried scallop, with it more providing a gloopier texture. This was only decent Lamb Chop With Fried Garlic: Nicely aromatic, but the lamb could have been a bit more tender. Good overall, but not my favorite Lobster With Fried Sticky Rice: The highlight of the night with plenty of sweet, tender lobster meat, savory fried rice, and some lap cheong/Chinese sausage for extra texture. Easily my favorite, and that opinion was shared by many Stir Fried Satay Beef: Nice tender beef with a mildly sweet sauce. Tasty/one of the better meat courses Clams With Black Bean Sauce: Another highlight. Excellent black bean sauce with enough douchi for flavor, but not too much that it was salty. Clams were fresh and were all open. Sauce wasn't too gloopy either Chinese Broccoli With Preserved Meat: Nice texture with a bit of smoky-sweet flavor from the lap yuk/smoked pork belly and yet more lap cheong. Tasty Eggplant With Chicken and Salted Fish Casserole: Nice mix with tender eggplant, some juicy chicken, and not too much salted fish. Couldn't eat a ton as I was getting full/ concentrating on the dishes I liked a bit more Pork Belly and Preserved Vegetable Casserole: Pork was very flavorful, and the preserved mustard greens/mei cai was tender and too salty. Probably the best of the meat dishes, with a handful of folks taking some home Duck & Mustard Greens Rice Noodle: Nice wok hei with some pretty tender duck and a bit of tiny sourness from the mustard greens. Was running a bit low on stomach room by this point, so I didn't have much. Pumpkin Sago Dessert Soup: A thicker, richer soup with a bit of sweetness, but not too much, as expected. Tasty end We had a wonderful time, and I'm looking forward to next March for another meal here read more

Came here for a large group dinner (~40 of us) and the staff were accomodating and friendly! The food came out quickly and I loved many of the dishes. The salt pepper pork chop and the black pepper beef were my table's favorites, they were so tender and flavorful. The other dishes like the peking duck and walnut shrimp are classics and they were not bad but also not the best i've had. Would definitely come back to try their dim sum which ive heard is also really good :) read more

Came here during peak hours with a party of three and didn't really have to wait. The dim sum is obviously authentic and delicious and a little pricier compared to less busier/prime location spots but they have quite the selection and everything was fresh. I did come once or twice during the later hours and things were sold out and substantially less fresh so it's all about timing when it's not too busy but still fresh! Would say 1ish read more

On top of liking Asian Jewels' daytime Dim Sum, my family also enjoys coming here for their seafood dishes at night. Wonderful service we've received on all visits. Bustling huge dining rooms from morning till night. On this Father's Day visit, we loved their fresh seafood straight from their live tanks specials, including AJS's Lobster Sticky Rice, Freshwater Shrimp, and, Ginger Scallion Dungeness Crab - mmm, mmm, deliciousness! CHEERS! read more

Dim sum here is always a banger! Love their steamed items like the rice rolls and shrimp dumplings. Gets super crowded during prime dim sum hours so expect a wait or come early. They have parking but it's valet only. We usually park at skyview and walk in. Price is a bit expensive but reasonable for Flushing. read more

Not a bad place, just limited options. Food came out warm, but not that hot. The rice rolled shrimp and beef was the best. Shrimp Shumai wasn't too bad either. The service was quick since they had people walking around with carts of options for food. We did had to wait for a table for about 20 minutes. The ambiance of the place is massive and very spacious. This place is great for big parties in my opinion. read more

Went this restaurant for a wedding. Didn't know it is a michelin guide restaurant. This one is great space for wedding. This area that they reserve for the wedding can hold 170ppl. Food comes out very quick. I like how they serve us every dish in a small plate, and keep changing the small plate as new dish is serve. That's perfect especially when you have a small space on your table already, and you don't have to worry about share or hygiene issue since the server automatically split it as dish arrive. Restrooms: male and female restrooms. This restaurant located next door to Hyatt Park LaGuardia Flushing. read more

We took advantage of their $19 lobster special and also ordered the Peking duck as well. The live lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly cooked. It was a great deal for the price. The Peking duck was decent, with crispy skin and good flavor, though it didn't stand out as much as the lobster. Service was good. read more

Located in the heart of Flushing, this restaurant is located next to other notable restaurants like Che-Li and even has a 85 degree bakery right across the street. Entering the restaurant and scaling the steps, you are greeting with a very large restaurant filled with circular tables with a large screen on the far wall. My friends and I happened to watch the Fifa world cup here and ppl went wild with every goal/attempted goal. Service is good as long as you are good at getting the attention of staff walking by. We came during the game so place was a bit rowdy but I can't imagine it would be like that any other time. Other than that, food was decent. We got the typical fried rice shao Mai, and the works. read more

I came here for a family lunch on a weekend was able to find a table without much issue and did not need a reservation. Service: the service itself was okay. The restaurant is partitioned up into several different rooms where they will push carts in and out of the rooms themselves. I was seated in some place that almost looked like a back room, but it was still decorated in the dim sum restaurant kind of theme. Service itself was pretty consistent. We didn't have to wait too long to get any of the desired dishes that we wanted. Ambience: I think your typical staple dim sum restaurant ambiance was here. Definitely felt very conversational with family. Was not too quiet or too loud. Food: I don't think that the dim sum here was that good. It didn't wow me as much as I was expecting it to. I initially saw this on one of the Michelin Guide website, and I was expecting a little more out of this place. Of all the places that I've had dim sum at, I just feel like this was more okay rather than anything special. For example the shumai didn't have that "juicy bite" kind of feel that you usually get. Again, nothing about this restaurant was bad per se, but I just felt like this was in the lower tier of all the dim sum places that I've had. I think for this reason, it gets a 3/5 for me. read more

BLUF: Usually above average, but can be below. Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant 敦城海鮮酒家 is probably the best known Cantonese restaurant in Downtown Flushing, judging from the restaurant's prior recognition in the Michelin Guide, recent recognition in New York Magazine's Grub Street blog, and volume of Yelp reviews compared with nearby competitors. The dim-sum and dinner services here generally rank among the better of the Cantonese restaurants in Downtown Flushing. I can generally recommend Asian Jewels or Emperor Seafood for dim-sum or dinner. However, there have been times when we've been disappointed by the food at Asian Jewels. We stopped visiting Asian Jewels for several years when the dim-sum unexpectedly gave us a food coma once; something we haven't experienced since at Asian Jewels, and never at other dim-sum restaurants. Asian Jewels offers king crab for $45 per pound, but we were sorely disappointed by this offering at a recent dinner. It felt like the restaurant didn't take the time to properly prepare dishes from a 10 lbs+ crab that cost $492. The main dish, King Crab with Garlic, Scallion, and Vermicelli, was poorly executed. There was excessive moisture released by the huge crab, such that the accompanying vermicelli seemed to be drowned in soup. The restaurant could have reduced the liquid to create a tasty sauce for the noodles and crabmeat. Some at our table thought the crab was stringy and rubbery. The King Crab Glutinous Fried Rice was also unremarkable; the rice was harder than expected. That said, the other dishes of the evening were generally on point. Other: It's generally best to visit Chinese restaurants for dim-sum on the weekend, as weekends usually generate enough volume for restaurants to justify offering their widest selections of dim-sum. There is free, VPN-friendly Wi-Fi. The restrooms are generally adequately maintained. Asian Jewels also has a parking lot, but we haven't used it in years since parking fills up fast. read more

Came here with my family on a weekend morning for dim sum. They offer valet parking, and the wait was short that we were seated quickly. A variety of dim sum dishes were served on traditional push carts, making the experience feel authentic. My favorite was the warm sweet tofu pudding--it had a silky smooth texture and tasted fresh and authentic. We also ordered the ginger scallion lobster lo mein. The lobster was fresh, but the dish was a bit on the salty side. Pricing was on the higher end, with the lobster charged at $30 each and an additional $18 for the noodles. Given the restaurant's central Flushing location, parking can be challenging, so the valet service was a huge convenience. They also have private rooms available for large gatherings, and their banquet menus offer better value for larger parties. read more

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to in the city. Thankfully, I came with a large group, so we were able to try many different things. My favorites were the custard buns and the fried tofu with veggies. Those were both executed perfectly and packed with flavor and had great texture. Everything was great, though. You really can't go wrong ordering anything! The servers were also very friendly, and the service overall was fast and efficient. The atmosphere inside is very comfortable, and this is a great place for large groups. I highly recommend! read more

This place has been around for a long time. If you need a place with a parking lot (remember to validate your ticket at the restaurant and money to tip the parking attendant), there are a few folks show up ĺate though most will show up before 11AM, and don't mind that this place charge more per dish, then this might be a good place to meetup. There is the usual dim sum dishes: siu mai (pork dumplings), cherng fun (rice noodles with beef, shrimp, or fried dough), sticky rice with and without lotus leaves, shrimp Dumplings (except we didn't order it this time). If you want dim sum, this is a solid place to go. read more

Classic dim sum spot in Flushing. Great selection of dishes to choose from. The dishes are carted around, each cart carrying a few dishes each. It can feel a bit tight in here with the carts moving around between all the tables Staff are super professional It can be quite a wait especially on weekends, so expect some line if you're going in the afternoon for brunch hours Overall, great spot to get dim sum cravings read more

Amazing dim sum. It's been awhile since I've had dim sum at a restaurant that still uses the carts! Love it. All of the dim sum comes on carts. Only the noodle and rice dishes you order through the menu. The dim sum here is excellent! Har gow is usually a good baseline dish to judge dim sum by and I can tell you the har gow was immaculate. I wish I had the stomach space to eat more of them. All of the shrimp and vegetable dim sum dishes were amazing. They were packed with flavor so you can take some of your vegetarian friends here. Me and my party of 2 arrived here right at opening at 9 AM on Saturday morning. We were one of 2 other parties in the restaurant but as time got closer to 10 AM the restaurant started to get packed. If you want to avoid any crowds I'd suggest coming right at opening for no wait. All in all, this dim sum restaurant has amazing dishes and room to accommodate large parties. I can't wait to come back. read more

A trip to Flushing or Chinatown in the 90s and early 2000s used to entail a mandatory visit to one of the many dim sum palaces. In Flushing the best option used to be Jade Asian or Sweet-n-tart; in Chinatown, I always liked Grand Harmony and never understood the hype around Jing Fong. The general consensus now seems to be that Asian Jewels is the favorite of the few remaining large dim sum establishments. While the cart format is always stressful for a vegetarian, I enjoyed everything I tried here. The tza liang was super crispy, and the ha-cheong (I went pescatarian out of necessity) was perfectly done. The jiu-tsai jiao were also delicious. For sweets, we were too full for masaiga-bau by the time they came around, but the egg custard buns were not too sweet, and retained a nice savory yolk flavor. I was disappointed that almond tofu didn't make an appearance on any of the carts. read more

Amazingly fast service. This place is PACKED but they've got it down to a science so everything moves quick and smooth. I love the huge variety of food they have - got to try some dim sum dishes I've never seen anywhere else! If I had anything to mention- It's kind of weird they don't have any sauces on the table and it's kind of hard to flag someone down for them (soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, etc) Included some photos of my favs read more

Haven't written a review for this place for a long time even though we come from time to time. There are just too many options for dim sum in Flushing. I'd say this is a decent one given the location and the valet parking lot right next door. In this regard it's much better than New Mulan for example where you have to wait a long time for valet. The dim sum variety is okay and there are old school choices as well as newer options. The dim sum ladies are all very pleasant (albeit a little pushy) but the staff look a bit miserable. read more

This dim sum spot is one of the most popular in the area, so I was excited to try it out. I went on a Saturday afternoon (~1:30p) and waited ~30 minutes to get seated. They give each party and number and call them up as seating becomes available. They have lots of the standard fair dim sum like shu mai, taro buns, and har gow. I went with a vegetarian friend though, and he had a lot of trouble with ordering. We asked for an a la carte menu and ordered a few items after stating he was vegetarian and said no meat or seafood. I can understand people with the carts accidentally offering him something with meat, but after explicitly asking and repeating he cannot eat meat or seafood, they brought us 2/3 dishes with meat. One was a tofu skin roll which was stuffed with shrimp, which we asked specifically about the filling It was a bit shocking how difficult it was for them to register what we were saying. In the end, we got a stir fry noodle dish with several vegetables for him. It was unfortunately so bland, lacked sufficient salt, and overly oily. The cart items we got were the veggie spring rolls which were well seasoned, crispy, and not too oily. The mushroom and veggie fill was tasty. We also tried a Chinese broccoli, which was well steamed, light. The oyster sauce (yes, he ate this because the options were so limited) wasn't really transformed much. It looked drizzled on with minimal changes. It was okay but definitely could have been better. The egg tarts were typical. I think they were a tad underdone for my taste but otherwise as expected. Pricing was a bit steep for the items we got. I've been to other dim sum spots in queens for far less (like in great neck) and the quality was just as good, had minimal waits, and was more affordable. Would try them again but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant is located in the Flushing area of New York City. There is a parking lot, but it might be easier to find street parking if you are driving. The restaurant itself is HUGE. The lobby for customers to wait to be seated is big as well. Our group of four waited no more than 25 minutes to be seated. It is rare to see dim sum still being served cart style. It is my preference for dim sum to be served this way, so I was glad they do that here! We selected a variety of items to share together like chicken feet, shumai, hargow, and many other iconic dim sum dishes. It was a fast and good experience overall. read more

They can't even make the Bi-Fong-Tang Crab（Typhoon shelter, right ! The beef Tang crab was supposed to be deep fried than stirfry with recipe fried garlic slices! But they just used the deep fried flower batter drops to substitute the fried recipe garlic slice slices! So there's no good flavor no spicy aroma! For truly gourmet expert, this dish is a disaster ! Seafood fried noodle doesn't have good flavor either ?? The only one that I can recognize as good dish, is stewed clam with squash! What can I say? This is definitely one that I won't come back To be honest with you! it doesn't deserve one star of the Michelin guide ! read more

Solid place for dimsum with carts going around--very spacious. I think they had a nice selection and we got to try a ton of options including short ribs, shrimp dumplings, chive and pork dumplings, shrimp egg rolls, mini egg tarts, rice rolls, turnip cakes, etc. they had some desserts, but I didn't see grass jelly or tapioca soup with watermelon or anything refreshing like that, unfortunately. It would have been a welcome treat after all the carbs we consumed! I see now on their website that there are more extensive menus with options for lobster and king crab and Peking duck which is interesting. I was absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal. The service was quick, most staff seem to have limited English. The bathrooms were clean enough and had freezing cold tap water. read more

Read all the good reviews and was super excited for some authentic good dimsum in flushing, unfortunately it was very average. The experience itself was good in that it was crowded but a quick turnover, and I liked the pushcarts with dimsum. It felt very authentic with the waiters all speaking mandarin / Cantonese too. But the food itself was very average, but they did have most of the staples and for a reasonable price. I'd be back for dimsum but will be on the hunt for other dimsum places in Flushing! read more

Flushing has a lot of restaurants but surprisingly not too many dim sum spots . A quick google search took me to Asian Jewels. As we pushed the heavy ornate doors we were greeted by the smells of yummy dim sum delights. We were seated almost immediately and then treated to an array of delectable delights by the ladies pushing the dim sum carts. I apologize for the lack of photos. We were so ravenous I forgot to take photos . We loved the shrimp rice rolls and plate of snow pea shoots which had to be ordered off the menu. We also had a bowl of century egg porridge and crispy dough bites wrapped in rice rolls. Service was astoundingly excellent. Everyone super polite and patient. Flushing restaurants set the bar high for service and have spoilt me thoroughly . On the way out I spotted a king crab in one of the large tanks . We will be back ! read more

It is usually a good sign when a restaurant has a bunch of people waiting for a table during the weekend lunch period. In the mood for dim sum, my friend and I joined the queue. The wait was long, but we passed the time by walking around Flushing. However, the wait ended up being a bit faster than what was quoted, and we missed our number being called. We thought we were going to have to wait all over again, but the very kind hostess got us on the next available table. We were at a shared table, which was a large round table with a couple on one side and us on the other side. There was plenty of space between us, so it kind of felt like we had our own tables. Inside the bustling restaurant, a handful of dim sum carts skillfully navigate their way around. The carts come around at a fairly decent pace, but some come around more often than others. If what you want is not on the cart, just keep waiting for the next one to come around unless it has run out for the day. I am a creature of habit and always have to have har gow and siu mai, but there is a lot of delicious dishes to choose from, like the pan-fried stuffed eggplant. Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant is truly a jewel. Dim sum carts are a rarity these days, so it was so nice finding a place that still has them. The dim sum is delicious and is among the best that I have ever had. I will definitely come back for dim sum when I am in Flushing again. read more

I was excited to try dim sum at Asian Jewel as they are a Michelin Recommended establishment. I parked nearby at a private lot, but I did see that they had a rather tight valet lot right next to the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted and immediately given an assigned number for my large party of 9. They seemed very efficient and got us seated once the majority of us were gathered, I had no idea how large this restaurant actually was until I was guided through many large dining rooms that were all connected to one another. There was lotsa hustle and bustle going on but not in a chaotic way. I had a large back table which turned out to be good and bad. When the carts came around with assorted small bites it was hard to get their attention and by the time we were shown what was available a lot of the food came to us either cold or just lukewarm. I only recall a few small dishes where the food was hot. The taste was good but nothing stand out. Also I really like my food hot and it's not ideal when your table is at the back of the dining room. The ambiance here is nice but I did not find it very different from other Chinese restaurants in the area serving similar dishes. My expectations may have been a little high, from reading all the glowing reviews posted. Again, don't get me wrong, it's good but not what I would rate as a Michelin recommend. read more

Tried this dim sum place in Flushing since it had a Michelin award for its har gow. There's a small parking lot next to the restaurant (didn't really check but this may be valet). We were seated in a tight corner against the wall even though other tables were open, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The waitresses weren't very attentive or nice either, but as long as the food is good....Ordered several classic dimsum--overall pretty good, loved the pepper ribs and pineapple bun, but nothing else stood out. Got some entree chef specials off the menu to try since the fried rice is our family's must order item at every dimsum place. The golden double egg fried rice stood out with great flavor balance (salted fish and raisins done right) and solid wok heat. read more

Second time at Asian Jewels, and it absolutely fulfills the whole dim sum experience. Wide variety of dishes, excellently prepared, chaotic banquet table type scene of the type I grew up with in San Francisco, in other words, perfect. Going early is a really good idea if you don't want to wait 30-90 minutes for a table, but that's pretty on point for any good dim sum place on a Saturday. We'll likely be back whenever we're in Queens. read more
